There may be some who think the

a record Of broken promises. They
promised to reduce the cost of living;
they have not touched 1t. They prom,
Used to prevent waste and extraya,
gance; they have been more extrava,
CANT than any preceding Congress;
they have betrayed the merit system;
they have appointed useless officers
They promised that the rights o.
American citizens should be main
tanned throughout the world: they
have shamelessly failed TO perform
that promise. American lives have
been sacrificed, American property
destroyed and American commerce in,
terupted. We have not had protec-
ton for American rights.-CHARLES

man Mccormick undertook at first to
deny utterly that any such attempt
! was being made. He said the charge
( was "arrant nonsense, and absolute
\ ~ untrue"
Then he learned that the Republi-
can national committee had proof
that the charge was true. Thereup-
on Mr.. Mccormick sought cover by
making public letter written by the
Iexas state chairman. instructlng
the bagmen how to violate the law
and escape the penitcntlary and an
nouncing that he and the rest or the
Democratic national committee re-
pudlated II. But d great deal more
is needed from Mr.. Mccormick in
the way Of explanation and de-
NAL before the case Is closed. Some
thing IL needed also from Postmaster
General Burleson, In whose state.
Texas, this attempt Mt extortion was
made. Something Ii needed also
from D. o. Roper, who resigned tho
oilice OF FIRST assistant postmaster
general TO become n member Of the
Democratic national campaign com
mittee. cited by Mr.. Ridgway as au-
thority for the extortion scheme.
when Mr.. Mccormick has given due
attention to this case from Texas he
may be ready TO take up the case
OF the state Of Washington and issue
reputation OF the bngmen who
are so active in collecting assessment
from federal ofFlcehOlders there. He
may ma time to explain the differ
ence In the rate of assessment in
washington from that in Texas.
After that perhaps Mr.. Mccormick
VIII take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to tell what A. I. Schmitt. OF
Louisville, KY. Is doing in the way.
Of stimulating postmasters and 9th
ers TO join the Wilson permanent
organization and 10 contribute 10
the cause. Mr.. Mccormick may ex-
plain whether this Is the organiza-
ton that Is to keep record or tho
loyal who contribute and the dis
loyal who do not contribute. Mr..
Schmitt happens TO be the postmaster
Of Louisville and is In a specially
favored position both for influencing
other postmasters and for other worl,
which. In view of the provisions or
the law alluded to by Mr.. Ridgway,
require dcliCacy OF touch. The
emphatic manner in which Mr.. Nc
Cormick denied responsibility for and
repudiated the extortfon game In
Texas sets up the natural presump-
ton that he will take similar
course regarding these in Washing
ton and Kentucky cases. And when
he has settled them there will be
several others for him to tackle. Mr..
Mccormick is likely to be fairly busy
in the reputation line.

pavilion erected BY the Central Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor OF Albany:
My friends. there are some
who regard organized labor as a
source OF strife and menace OF
difficulty. | regard It MS a fine
opportunity for the amellora-
ton Of the condition OF men
working with no other purpose
than to make the most OF them
selves and TO achieve something
Tor their families. I regard II as
fine opportunity for the realI-
zation Of the highest benefits for
those that every patriotic citizen
feels most solicitors about to see
that everything should be done
Tor their continued progress.
Under wise leadership, with
statesmanlike guidance. with
sincere intention to promote the
benefit OF the community and to
secure honorable progress, the
mission OF labor organizations Is
one OF the finest that any asso-
citation of men could guard. To-
day we have realization Of
what can be accomplished.
The verdict Of labor upon Mr.
Hughes was given after he had re
signed the office OF governor. In al
editorial in the Legislative News. the
official organ OF New York's Stat,
Federation OF Labor, in the issue Of
October 10. 1910. II said:
Now that Governor Hughes
hug 1sntfpaI
assembled to a place on the high
est judicial tribunal In the world
the fact can be acknowledged
without hurting anybody's polit-
zeal corns. that he was the great
est friend OF labor laws that
ever occupied the governors
chair at Albany. During his two
terms he has signed fifty-six la
Dor laws. including among them
the best labor laws ever enacted
In this or any other state. He
also urged the enactment OF la
Dor laws in his message to the
legislature, even going so far as
to place the demand for labor
law in one of his messages to an
extra session OF the legislature.
Only 1872 labor laws have
been enacted in this state since
Its erection in 1777-in 1879
years. One-third of these, ex-
ceeding in quality all of the
others. have been enacted and
signed during Governor
Hughes's term Of three years
and nine months.
These are the utterances and the
records OF the Democratic and Re.
publican candidates for president of
the United States when neither as
pired to the presidency. From these
records and these utterances let the
laboring people OF the country de-
termine which one is most likely to
give them square deal.
