Lecture.

4 crowd that filled the Queen Theatre
TO OVERLOOKING last night had its patriotic
impulses stirred to the limit by the lecture
''Wake Up America" by W. II. Farley.
Pictures illustrating many important
events in this war were thrown on the
scecn and the appeal by the speaker to
every man TO do his part met with hearty
response. The Harlan Band played before

aid in promoting the spirit of the meeting.

Hohcnzollerns, said
The Germans SAY that they Will make
us paw in gold for every ounce of powder
and every she'll that we send over there,

of the appeal to the people made by MT
Farley was: Get together pull together

the speaker. us a Gcrnan-made peace
which will enable that country TO hold

for few wears to get ready for the next
cbsnter in her desire To rule the world.
Mr. Farley said Billy Sundav's apt re-
mark that Germany had substituted
Krupp for Christ, which was lettered
under the picture of the krupp works
thrown on the screen, was indeed true.
and there might well be added, he SAID,
that other remark of the popular preacher
that Kaiser Bill would have 10 take an
airplane to reach that warm and old
fashioned place that begins with an . II.
\ picture Of the medal struck of IN
honor OF the sinking OF the l.usltania was
shown and the peculiar fact that the date

ing already been turned in from that
place, as we'll as by the reception given
him at the meeting held there last
Thursday evening, when the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
whereas, having recognized the
Importance and absolute necessity Of
labor representation in nour law MAX
ing bodies; and
"Whereas, the Union Labor party, in
convention assembled at Duluth,
Minnesota, July %. 1918, has nomi-
mated w. L. Carss for congress from
the Eighth Congressional district Of
Minnesota; be it
'Resolved, That we, the assembled
trades organizations of Proctor, in
Guiding the six shop crafts. and
the four transportation brotherhoods,
hereby ratify and support the nominal
ton of Brother W. L. Carss for con-
gress from the Eighth Congressional
district of the state Of Minnesota;
and be it further
Resolved, That in pledging our sup
port and cooperation for the election
of Brother Carss it is our earnest
desire and request that in the event
Of his election he pledge himself en-
phatically to the cause OF labor and
to the industrially democratic upbuild-
ing of our nation, founded upon the
principles of freedom OF. speech, free
dom of press and freedom Of assembly,"
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1918-08-31

That Organized Labor means bust
members to congress from the Eighth
Minnesota district is clearly indicated
by the hearty support that is coming
in from all sections of the district.
That Congressman Miller will have
tho fight Of his life at the polls in
November is becoming generally rec
ognized, although his friends are hop
ing that his rabbits foot is still in
working order and that his usual
'luck" will again pull him through a.
winner. But there are thousands who
are satisfied that the spell has been
broken and that "the pitcher will be
broken" this fall. ~
In Virginia an active committee has
Been appointed>who will have charge
of election work in that neck of the
district, and the same in true Of sClo-
quet.C Carlton. Organizing work is un-
der way in Hibbing, Two HarborS, BIZ
wabik and other range towns, where
the candidacy of Mr.. Carss II being
received with open arms. Inter-
national Falls, Grand Rapids and
other population centers win be Or
gained for campaigning in the next
few days.: while g. number. of meetings
have ben put ON among the farmers
Of the lower end Of st. Louis county.
Labor unions, too, are generally re-
spending with requests for donations
to the campaign funds. Individual
donations have been received by the
hundreds and the campaign commit
tee feel highly encouraged at prospects
for the. future.
That the congressional convention
picked its candidate with care is quite
evident. Mr.. .Carss could hardly be
improved on as a peoples" candidate.
His unassuming democracy, sincere
Americanism. mad sterling integrity
are making friends for him wherever
he goes
With the eyes Of the Eighth district
suddenly focused on him at this time,
it Is proper to give a brief account of
Mr.. Carss' life, which embraces wide
and varied experience AND we'll fits
him to handle TIE legislative affairs
q this district in the next United
States congress-.
Born in Iowa.
William L. Carss was born In Iowa,
where he lived for 80 years. His
father was civil engineer on the old
Des Moines Valley railroad, now q
part Of the Rock Island system. To-
day, although 80 years Of age, Carss.
the elder, is actively engaged in the
practice Of his profession.
When the future congressman from
Proctor was 2 years old his parents
moved to Des MONIES. There he
finished the public schools and then
saw something Of college classrooms
Among other higher educational work
he studied civil engineering, in keep.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1918-08-31

ing with the traditions and tastes of
the Carss family. Not only the father
of candidate Carss is a civil engineer,
but brothers. as we'll. He states, how
ever, that an education in the School
Of Hard Knocks has proved Of the
most value to him.
Union Man Always.
Mr.. Carss eventually became a loco
motive engineer rather than civil
engineer. He came to the Missabe
system when it was very young. For
SO years he has been loyal to and
identified with organized labor. He is
hood of Locomotive Engineers and has
served the local unit Of the order as
chairman at different times during the
past 20 years as we'll as been prorni-
nent and influential in the national
councils Of the organization.
Mr.. Carss wants it plainly under
stood that he is union man from
start to finish and that he stands for
all that is good and best in lunionism.
He prides himself on being 100 per
cent loyal and patriotic. Coming from
q mixed Scotch and English ancestry,
he was strongly pro-ally from the very
start Of this great world war.
Mr.. Carss is a man Of strong ply
sique, tall, straight and amply boned.
In the halls Of congress he would stand
head and shoulders above the little
politicians and corporation lawyers.
physically and, in most cases, mentally.
He is an omniverous and heavy reader
and has that rare gift Of retaining
everything worth while in what he
reads. Industrial reports, sociological
writings, political questions Of the hour
and even metaphysical studies help
him to while away the idle moments
in his cab.
Mr.. Carss declares, that there are
two big, main, vital planks in his plat
form, overshadowing all others, VIZ:
First-Loyalty to the American
government, winning the war being
the first and chief consideration at the
present time.
Second-A square deal for labor az
we'll as capital; Justice for all and in
justice for none.
Has Fine Family.
William L. Carss is a family man
and very glad of it, His home i.
graced by a wife and daughter, the
latter having high school and college
record that brings more pride and
pleasure to the candidate Of tho com.
moners than ali else In his experience.
| The workers Of Proctor stand to q
man for this superior champion OF
organized labor and exponent Of the
! square deal. If his election depends
on their votes he will be an easy win.
