Mrs. katherine Williamson, a former
member OF Denver Typographical Union
and foi many years prominent here in
Women's club and political work, writes
The Bulletin an interesting letter from
New York, where she is now engaged
doing special writing for several publica-
tions of that city. Mrs. Williamson
still retains her active membership in
the typographical Union and takes a
keen interest in labor affairs. She has
a good word to say for Jimmy" Noland
candidate on the Democratic ticket for
secretary of state, and recounts a few
OF the things he has done to help in Sc
curing legislative reforms. Mrs. William
son also has a good word for Congress
man Keating and Mary C. C. Bradford
for superintendent of public instruction.
Following is n part of her letter:
Big Humane Things.
81 hope you are doing all that you
can to help elect Woodrow Wilson to the
presidency again. The labor legislation
put thru by him is so splendid, the valu-
alton that he has placed on human life
SO wonderful that if there were nothing
else accomplished by him these things
would alone entitle him to reelection.
1 am so proud of the child labor legisla-
ton passed and more than ever proud of
it since the bill was Mr. Keating's and
L always love to see member of our
craft do the big humane things of life,
The press reports bring news that
my friend, James r. Noland, is a candi-
date for the office of secretary of state.
l shall always be interested in the can
didate who aspires to this particular Of
flee for l know that the heart of the
government of Colorado is placed in that
office and that the welfare of men,
women and children who toll depends in
large measure on the executive head of
the office of secretary of state. l wish
that it were possible for me to be in
Colorado at the present time and add
my mite to the success of Jimmie
holland.
holland Aided Women's Measures.
Those of us who have done the edu-
cational work for bill in the legisla.
ture know how necessary it is to create
favorable sentiment for our bills and
while | served as chairman of the legis
lative committee of the Colorado Feder-
alton of Women's clubs L was able to
get many a story in the columns of the
newspapers that created favorable sen.
timent for the eight hour day for WON.
en-, the child labor laws, factory inspec
ton and other laws that We're calculated
to help those who labor that never
would have been published without the
aid of the newspaper men and women.
Mr.. holland was ever ready to lend help
to further the work of my committee
and often took extra time to let us
know if our bills were in need of imme-
diate help. He gave every assistance to
the work the club women were inter
ested in and l do hope that he will be
elected as i believe he will understand
the problems of the labor movement and
will make the best secretary of state
that has ever held the office.
Should Reflect Mrs. Bradford.
Another candidate that l hope you will
help is my dear friend, Mary C. C.
Bradford. Mrs. Bradford has made a
wonderful record superintendent OF
schools and should be reelected on the
strength of her record. The children of
the state will be given every opportunity
OF development while Mrs. Bradford Is
superintendent and her devotion to the
cause of labor should endear her to all
who are enlisted under the union ban
