DEMOCRATS GAIN FOUR
SEATS IN LOWER HOUSE
VIII Have EiShty-Six Democrats,
Twelve Republicans and Two
Intermediates

The complexion of the Lower House
OF the Virginia Legislature. when it
convencs in January will be more de-
cidcdly Democratic, thanks to the
efforts of the State Democratic COM
mittee for the vigorous campaign it
waGed throughout the state and es-
pecially in what were regarded as Re-
publican stronGholds.
The new House of Delegates will be
composed OF eighty-siX Democrats.
twelve Republicans and two independ-
ents. The last House had eighty three
Democrats, sixteen Rpubiicans and one
independent. This shows net gain
for the Democrats OF four members
over the Republicans and net gain
of three over the Republicans and in
dependents combined.
The following counties at the last
session of the General Assembly rep
resented by Republicans. this year
elected Democrats: Franklin. Patrick.
Russell. Stafford and King George.
The Democrats lost Madison and Greene
to an Independent by two votes. This
independent candidate represented these
counties in the last House as n Demo-
crat.
Although members of the Senate did
not come up for election this year.
there VIII be one new face in the upper
house. He is ID. j. Mitchell. Of King
and Queen. who was elected to fill the
vacancy in the Thirty-ninth Senatorial
District. brought about by the resigna-
ton OF John r. Saunders, nonrtpa ed
by the Democrats and elected Attor-
ney-General of Virginia.
This increase Democratic represcn-
tation in the lower house Is more than
gratifying to members of the party.

THE WORKINGMAN AND THE CHURCH
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELZLE.

"The church is confined to a partic-
ular class" its critics tell us, meaning,
of course, that it is limited to the cap
italist class. A great deal is said from
time to time of the alienation of the
workingman from the church. have
observed, however, that the working
man is not alienated from the church
to a greater extent than is the rich
man. AS matter of fact, the per
centage of workingmen who are SIN
cerely devoted to the church is fully
as great-if not greater-than is the
percentage among the wealthy.
Looking down the finest avenue in
one of our biggest cities, friend re-
marked to me some time ago: "As far
as your eye can see on both sides of
the street, there is not single man in
this wealthy community that attends
any church.
If the workingman does not control
the church, it is largely his own fault,
because the church is a democratic in
stitution which welcomes to its mem
bership any person who believes in
its principles and who is in sympathy
with it's work. Those who become
members of the church have an equal
right of franchise and may elect as
their officers whomever they may
cnOOSe. w lLn IHlS utliloti dbIN IOi ~ VI
government, the workingman has it in
his power to dictate the policy and
the message of the church. AS an
outsider, he has no right to interfere
any more than he would think of in
terfering with the workings of lodge
or any other fraternal organization:
The church is purely a voluntary in
stitution composed of those who be-
lieve certain things in common. The
ranting of some individuals against
the church is wholly unjustifiable:, No
matter how the church may fail to
fulfill it's own ideals, so long as it does
not, as an institution, interfere with
the rights and the progress of the peo-
Pile as a whole, nobody has right to
find fault with it, unless he is mem
ber of the church. The most effective
criticism must come from within the
church and not from without. AS a
matter of fact, the severest critics of
the church are to be found within the
church. This is as it should be.

Press, with its editor, together with
Moran and Pippin, were loading their
baggage to go to some other field, for
they have been a disgrace to the min
ers of Colorado. Get me?
| noticed in The Labor Bulletin last
summer an article, or a letter, stating
that a member of the national organ
izers was attending Local Union No.
1862 at Curtis, Colorado, and while
there tried to have a resolution passed
condemning the Labor Bulletin and
electioneering for delegates to the
convention that was about to be held
in Boulder. The letter stated that he
made several visits to the homes of
the miners, instructing them how to
vote on the resolution and which
member to elect for delegate to the
convention. The reference is to
Brother Mike Livoda. Not knowing
the circumstance | was reluctant to
believe this of the brother, altho the
statement of the letter was not de-
MED by anyone. But just lately some
thing happened here in the Rapson
camp that caused me to believe that
the charges in the letter We're correct
Brother Mike (the same Mike) in COM
pany with another brother, came here
to settle mine grievance. They did
well in settling the grievance, but
could not refrain from electioneering.
They evidently want officials of Dis
trict Is elected other than those
chosen in a previous election. Brother
Mike presented to a friend of mine,
the recording secretary of Rapson To-
cal, list of names to be nominated at
our meeting, for the various offices
of the District, in the coming election
January 8, 1918. l wonder if it ever
occurred to Brother Mike that it is
against the constitution of the miners
organization for any member to cleo
tioneer for Officers of the U. NJ. w. of
A. l will send you, Mr.. Editor. the
same slip of paper with the list of
names that the brother wished our
local to nominate.
They all say we must have an hon
est election, but such acts as this a~r
rotten. Come clean, and we will have
an organization in Colorado that all
will be proud OF BY the way this
local nominated Brother Lawson for
president, and Doyle for board mem

Dear Sir and Brother:
Permit me to congratulate you and
your valuable advocate of labor, The
Denver Labor Bulletin, on the noble
support you gave to John R. Lawson
and f. L. Doyle against those who
tried, and are yet trying, to discredit
their usefulness in the labor move
ment of Colorado. Those paid So
called organizers of the United Mine
Workers, who tried to defeat Brother
Lawson, failed, as we knew they
would. And honest labor of Colorado
will surely stand by The Denver La
Dor Bulletin, for it alone gave to the
public, thru its columns, the facts of
the factional controversy.
A paper in the southern part of
Colorado, paid for or owned by the
national organization of miners, of
which both Lawson and Doyle are
honored members (the Free Press)
tried to discredit those brothers and

Dear Sir and Brother-I would like
to ask a few questions thru the col
umns of The Bulletin, not for infor-
nation to myself, but for the benefit
of the entire rank and file of the
United Mine Workers of District Is.
l started to school with dinner
bucket when l was 10 years old, and
have been going to school with a din
ner bucket ever since, and up to date
l have attended school over fifty
years, but still | cannot figure out
how a disbanded local union, namely
Leyden local, could cast $50 votes for
Carpenter for president of the State
/ Federation and not one for Lawson.
Neither can | understand how the
Walsenburg local cast 251 votes for
Carpenter when the tellers of that To-
cal bv affidavit say that 81 votes We're
cast for Lawson and only one for Car
penter. Once again. | cannot get thru
my head how the Ideal local, which is
disbanded, could cast $50 votes for
Carpenter and forget altogether the
miners friend, John R. Lawson.
Will some Imported pie eater"
please enlighten me along these lines,
ana let me h1lO" II lntN lllellu 10 USE
the same tactics in our coming Dis
trict election.
We. as union miners, don't claim to
be over wise, yet we can see a thing
or two, and, regardless of all the fraud
that can be practiced by the ''gang",
we intend to send E. L. Doyle to In
dianapolis as our National Board
Member and elect our own John R.
Lawson as District President.
The day of the pie-eaters is short.
They will pass away like the McLen-
nan and Moran clique. Utah and New
Mexico will be entered by true union
men and gathered into District Is.
We will grow when we get the disor-
ganizers out of Colorado and look
after our own affairs.
/ say. Brothers, up with the Union
flag. Get wise. Cast your vote for
men tried and true. Hold on to your
local tally sheets. Have your tellers
make affidavits as to the number of
votes cast so we can be prepared for
any crooked transactions by the
cliGue.
Remember those that We're moved
down by John DIS gatling gun. Re

ber Lawson and the rest. and vote

we are not at rest, but always in the

To the Miners of District Is, U. NJ.
w. of A:
We have watched the deliberations
of the Labor movement of the State
of Colorado with great deal of in
terest, and fully realize the obstacles
it has to overcome. We have tried to
do what little we could to assist the
Coal Miners in improving their dan
gerous occupation. Realizing the
growth of the labor movement is very
much like the planting of young
tree today, we can not eat the fruit
tomorrow, and while the organization
is growing rapidly we most sincerely
trust that in the coming election the
time has arrived when the miners
must choose their officers from among
themselves. We know from our own
personal observations that the Coal
Miners have in their ranks men who
have been tried and have done their
duty regardless of the consequences to
themselves. These men have con-
Quoted themselves in a manner which
has gained the respect of the mem
bership, and at the same time have
acquired the friendship of the Bust
ness Men of the State.

preacher in New York City, becoming
impatient with the church because of
its apparent Indifference to social
problems, started an indepcdent or
ganization and tried for two years to
work with other reformers. At the
end of that period, he came back and
confessed that however the church
may have failed, no other agency is
doing more to better the conditions Of
the masses.
Let us judge the church, then, not
by its worst sins and weaknesses, but
by its best achievements. You de-
mand this for yourself. Your union
insists upon it. Therefore, give the
church a square deal.
