his right, that right which no man
dare interfere with or attempt to
control. In the election just passed
ii is plain that thousands of wage
earners voted for Mr.. Smith If
not, where did he get his votes ?
He received three ffths of the total
votes cast. 1t is claimed that four
ffths of He amilton 5 vote is cast by
working men. So 1t is to be seen
that tw@- thirds of the vote received
by Mr. Smith was cast by wage
earners, the big majority of whom
are union men. To say that I'm
ionism Is committed to any one
political party or propaganda is rot
and ridiculous and is done for the
same purpose that other such state
ments are made by this same paper,

knock Organized Labor. There
are some men who would make ii
appear that they WELD an influence
in the labor movement and can de
liver the labor vote but they are
only fooling themselves. No man
or no organ can control the labor

This in a measure is experimental, but
1t is carrying out the idea of Charles
Fl. Hulburd, the president, that shorter

This WAS a war; now it is
CRUSADE for freedom
So declared Samuel Gompers in
great mass meeting in New York
City The spirit Of America in the
great war has not been more aptly
expressed.
If this message could be got to
every person in America a great
many persons who now oppose The
war would throw themselves into
it with enthusiasm.
For this is a CRUSADE FOR
FREEDOM
The war to-day is not the war of
