Labor's "Power"
Lee paid his respects to the wall
street crowd" and declared that now an
election had been won without the as
sistance of New York, Indiana or Hi
nois, labor should not fail to retain its
power thus gained.
Lee also reviewed the conferences
which led to the enactment of the Ad-
amson cight-hour day law last Septem-.

playing unfairly with the President at
that time. The brotherhoods. he de-
clarea, had no desire that the -Adamson
bill be enacted into law, but inasmuch
as it had become law. they were try
ing to live UP to it.
W. S. Carter, president of the Broth
erhood of Railway Firemen and Engine
men, in his remarks declared that the
danger that confronts all working peo-
pie today is the coercion or suboria-

The coming of the penny paper he
added. has done more than any one
thing else to place the press under the
domination Of advertisers. Unfortu-
nately labor has but little to do with
dvertising-practically all the adver-
tisements come from the master class.
Carter declared that when the rail-
road brotherhoods began the Shour
movement n year ago. "a few men in
New York City who direct the affairs
If all the railroads." unde rtook one of
the greatest publicity campaigns the
world had ever witnessed.

made to advertise in 5000 daily and H.
900 weekly papers. Think of it-n,any

FIRES HOT SHOTS
Finds in the Expressions of Candidate
Hughes Echoes of Remarks Made
in u S. Senate.

WINCHESTER, Ky, Sept. 9-Republi-
can criticism of the Wilson administration
was revived by Vice-Presdent Marshall in
speech here today with the conclusion
that the main reason offered the country
for turning out the Democrats was the de-
sire of the Republicans to get in and that
Former Justice Hughes's campaign
speeches were but echoes of often-repeated
speeches in the senate
Just now chief interest in the Republi-
can candidate for president consists in
ascertaining whether he belongs to the
Progressive faith or the stand pat neck of
his party said Mr. Marshall For three
years and more it had been my fortune or
misfortune to hear the speeches made in
the senate of the United States. The Re
publican candidate is now repeating those
speeches in abbreviated form. When the
candidate announced the infallibility of
the protective tariff ] recognized the oft
expressed views of Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire; when he declared that
we were dwelling in FOOLS paradise, |
heard an echo of the voice of Reed Smoot

The Assault Upon Senator Page Is For
Political Purposes Only
POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

the legislature and he then voted
again for Carroll s. Page for United
States Senator Senator Pages
wicked character was then as man
ifest as it is now.
This assault upon Senator Page is
for political purposes only It's aim is
to elect Allea NJ. Fletcher to the
United States Senate
The way to denounce that kind of
politics is to vote for the reelection of
Senator Page
The Refor.ner of Sept. 9Th published
as news item the assault upon Sen
ator Page by one Arthur Rich. Sena-
tor Page paid for the space which con-
tains his complete reply to the Rich
affidavit. Senator Page learned four
or five weeks ago that Bank Commits
TONER Williams s office at Newport
had procured an affidavit from Rich
assaulting the senator He demanded
a copy of it that he might have an op-
portunity to answer it in seasonable
time. The copy was not furnished him.
In order to hold it off until the last
week of the campaign Rich was pro-
cured to go to law Office in Boston,
to the Office of a former partner of
Bank Commissioner Williams, and
there give his affidavit over again,
dated Aug. 18th. Then Williams and
the Fletcher managers held the aft.
davit for practically three weeks or
until the last week of the campaign
and published it. BY his own cor
respondenee it is shown that Rich 8
affidavit is absolutely false. 1t is
pure fabrication gotten up to further
the political ambitions of Allen NJ.
Fletcher and must have been known to
be false by the Fletcher managers else
they would not have concealed until
the last week.
When falsehoods like this are CIR
culated the last week of the campaign
it shows that the opposition to Senator
Page is desperate indeed.
Every right thinking voter ought to
condemn such tactics by voting for
Senator Page.
