POINTS TO WORK OF
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION.
we are not only proud OF our
state administration but we are like
wise proud of our national admins
tration
we have given 10 the country
many laws Of much Importance
and OF great benefit 70 the peo-
pie. You wanted under 16 years Of
republican rule child la Dor law.
"a partisan tariff commission law,
and a trade commission law. but YOU
could not get them until your party
gave them TO you. We have done
more for labor since our party came
i'm control than had been done by the
republican party during its entire ex-
istenCe. When / went to congress
10 years ago ! saw piled on the
speakers desk petitions signed by
more than a million workingmen
pleading and begging for legislation
in the interest Of labor saw these
petitions go to the files and the scrap
heap never TO be resurrected. ! saw
the party in power turn its back on
laboring men and refuse you the leg
islatlon YOU wanted Then the dem
ocratic party came into power and
we took down all Of this legislation:
"a bills in all, and enacted every
one Of them into law and ! challenge
any laboring man here 20 point to
single piece OF labor legislation you
tried TO get under Is years Of repub-
lican rule and failed 10 get that we
have not given you. woodrow Will
son and the democratic party have
been your friends and have given
YOU everything you asked for A
few weeks ago when the railroad
strike was threatened and il was i'm
possible for the cOntending factions
10 get together. the responsibility
of averting the great catastrophe was
left 10 Woodrow Wilson and a dem
ocratic congress. That responsibility
was met and solved to the satisfac-
ton OF every patriotic American cit
lien. IF the strike had gone on ev-
cry mill and factory in the United
States would have been closed
Twenty-Five million men would have
been out Of employment Your mer-
chants could not have gotten goods
to have sold 10 the people. Bust
ness would have been at a standstill
and men. women, children and ba-
bfes would have been. starving i'm the
great cities OF the country The eff
feet would have been worse than a
war. and something had 10 be done
and done quickly. Woodrow Wilson
and a democratic congress averted
the strike by passing legislation
which no party will ever repeal. and
let me say here and now 10 YOU
working people If you go 10 the bal
lot box on the 7th Of November and
vote against Woodrow Wilson. the
man who stood out in the open and
took up your fight. YOU Will never
live long enough 10 see the day when
another American president will feel
inclined 10 do anything for labor. If
YOU show your ingratitude by vot-
ing against woodrow Wilson and
the democratic party no other pres
ident will ever feel justified in stand
ing by you. The future status of the
laboring people will be determined
on the eth of November, and it is up
% YOU labOring men as 10 what that
shall be. I have been in congress
10 years and / have supported every
single measure offered before con-
gress i'm the interest Of labor. In
fact 1 claim the right 20 speak for
labor as I was born and reared in
the atmosphere of poverty and in
my early life worked three years in
a factory side by side with men who
earn their bread by the sweat OF
their faces. 7 learned then and /
