TlU0 Men Discredited
the Report of the Legislative the Central Labor Council
John Campbell and Augustus ~ Summers Declared Be
Against Union Labor Every Man Who Carries Card Should
Read This and Vote Against Both Men.

The Central Labor Council last Tues
day night unanimously endorsed the fol-
lowing report of their legislative com
mittee and ordered $4,000 copies printed
for distribution.
There are but two men declared I'm
friendly to organized labor-Hon. All
gustus Summers, Republican candidate
for Supreme Court, and Hon John V.
Campbell, Republican candidate for
County Prosecutor
The following are the leading points in
the report
To the Trade Unionists and Their Sym
pathizers in Hamilton County:
The Legislative Committee appointed
by Central Labor Council to investigate
the political records of candidates for
office, and to secure expressions as to
support for Labors Legislative program,
hereby submits the results of its labors
Our intention is to place before you
the simple facts of the records examn-
ed, and to give you the statements of
the candidates themselves, and their par
ties. Especial attention is called to the
letters authorized by each of the two
leading parties, as to what may be eX
pected of them so far as our Ohio Legis-
lature program is concerned. The sub
joined letter was sent to each of the
three parties-Republican Democratic,
and Socialist Replies have been receiv-
ed from each of them through author
lied committees.
Where the phrase NO record" is used,
it should not be understood as anything
against a candidate. 1t simply means
that he has no political record affecting
labor or is new man in politics.
Where the term "Record not avail
able" is used, it indicates that the COM
mittee could not secure reliable data
within its time limit.
Now that you have the facts before
you, we trust that the way will be made
clearer as to how you should cast your
ballot. The results of the election are
now in your hands. You can note those
who side-step, and those who met our
demands squarely. The men who say
unqualifedly that they will support
you, you now have the opportunity
to support at the polls.
Labor First. Labor United. La
Dor Victorious.
Respectfully submitted,
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE OF CENTRAL
LABOR COUNCIL.

ever, have adopted a policy, which is
grounded in sincerity and an honest de-

of making no definite promises for sup

Republican party in the past and its
declarations of principles for the future,
as set forth in its National and State
platform.

THE TWO EXCEPTIONS
AUGUSTUS n. SUMMERS
(LaWyer)

This candidate became notori-
Gus several years ago for his per-
sistent rulings, as a Judge on the
Ohio Supreme bench against
claimants for damages in cases of
injury and death in the industries.
The Ohio State Federation of La
Dor is now, as it did in 1910,
bringing this man to trial before
the bar of public opinion, for his
acts as Judge.
Should the workmen's conpen-
sation law be wrecked or over
thrown, then in case of this mans
election, -blooded legalism and
rapacious commercialism would
once more, rule in place of the
humane endowment now provided
bv the State of Ohio for her in
jured or her slain workmen who
suffer their misfortunes in the
course of duty. We can not but
believe that, behind his nomina-
ton, is some such hoped-for con-
tingency as this. Organized La
Dor sent this man down to de-
feat i'm 1910. Let us do it
again.
As the judges are on non
partisan ballot, our task should be
all the easier. Bury him under
your ballots so decisively that
neither for him nor his likes will
there ever be attempted any resur
rection.

CATION to the Eighty-hrst General

Press Bureau Alleges That Nothing Less Than Ex-

Corfu, Greece. April 10.-( (correspond- ence of the Associated Press)--A long statement issued by the official Servian press bureau gives some alleged instances of the manner in which the Bulgarians are pacifying the portions of Servia which they now occupy
 We were able" says the statement, ''to give information received from a reliable source regarding the manner in which the enemy, especially the Bulgar- lans, are ill-treating and attempting to exterminate the inha bitants of old and new Servia

 Servian wounded soldiers who were found on the field of battle or in hos ptals and whose condition indicated that long and careful treatment would be necessary were pitlessly finished off. In some districts large numbers of the in- habitants particularly priests and school masters, were notified that they were to be sent to Sofia.

PETITION ALBERT FOR
 DUALISTIC BELGIUM

The Hague, Netherlands, April 10 (specia1)--(A petition on the subject of dualistic Belgium, comprising under the one crown of governing Netherland- ish speaking Flanders and a French speaking Wallonia has just been sent to King Albert by the National Flemish union, society which was formed be- fore the war. It now consists of over 900 members and has branches in all important cities of Belgium.
 The immediate motive of the petition was the dismissal by the Belgian gov ernment of two Belgian officials who are editing a Flemish paper published in Amsterdam, the Vlaamsche Stem (Flem- lsh Noice), which makes itself the mouth piece of "an autonomous Flanders within an independent and neutral Belgium" The petition declares:
 'It is becoming daily clearer to all race conscious Flemings that hencefor- ward the fatal striving after unity of speech which unfortunately has been the guiding spirit of Begium's internal policy since the independence, must be broken with for good. Let unity of heart and mind be henceforth the real motto of all: that alone can produce power, as well, as tranquility. Those only are pre- pairing for Belgium a future of real pros perity in lasting peace who desire to see it made a federal state. both halves of which dispose in complete freedom over their own fate, with adequate security against all attacks on their own hearths. their, own aims their own speech and their own conceptions of life. To the threat La Belgioue sera lathe ou elle ne sera pas Belgium will be Latin or she will not be at all" Flanders, with deep conviction returns the emphatic an swer: Belgium will be re-established on a dualistic or federal footing. with sep arate self governments for Flanders and Wallonia. or she will no longer prove capable of life.

Tearney demands that the Islands

the final decision. Efforts are now be-
ing made to add Rock Island to the

declared he would fight the battle to
a finish If 1t cost $4,000.
