FRIENDS OF labor.
ARE CANDIDATES
FOR LEGISLATURE
Much Interest Being Taken By
Workingmen in Primaries
Monday.

While WOrkingmen are taking keen
interest in the nomination of the
right sort of men for public office,
they are more concerned about the
selection of good men for the legisla-
ture than for most other offices. Good
friends of labor are running in all of
the Duluth districts.
Henry Dworschak jr., of the Typo
graphical union and editor of The
Labor World, is putting up a splendid
campaign for the senate in the Fifty
seventh district for novice in the
game of politics. Henry has COM
pletely canvassed the district and feels
certain he will be one of the nominees.
He stands right on all social, moral,
economic and political questions, and
can be depended upon to vote in the
best interests Of the people at all
times.
John j. Lane, candidate for the
house in the Fifty-seventh district is
leaving no stone unturned in. his can
vass. Mr.. Lane is unusually friendly
to labor. w. J. butcher, secretary of
the Federated Trades assembly and
also secretary of the Musicians union,
declares in an interview with The
Labor World that his union never hid
a better friend in Duluth than Mr.
Lane. He believes that problems
arising from the war call for earnest
thought by all Americans. Labor is
coming into it's own" says Mr.. Lane,
land I would ask for no higher privi-
lege than to play my part in shap-
ing legislation in Minnesota to the
end that capital and labor shall be
given an equal break in this state"
In the Fifty eighth district the
candidates for the senate are E. r.
Ribenack, Captain J. r. Randall and
o. E. Thompson, the latter being the
Socialist candidate. Mr.. Ribenack
served several terms in the house as
has also Captain Randall. Mr.. Ribe-

mack has been particularly fair in his
treatment of labor legislation.
John Bennett is by far the best man
for the house in the tty-eighth dis
trict He is a Workingman, earns his
living at his trade, has long been a
champion of labor legislation, UNDER
wants of labor, and can be depended
upon to do the right thing at all times.
Mr.. Bennett has been unfortunate
during the campaign in that he has
been compelled by his physician to
remain at his home until he RECEIVERS
from a severe attack Of stomach trou-
BILE. His friends have been campaign
ing for him, and they urge upon all
WOrklngmen and friends of working
men to give Mr.. Bennett a good boost
at the primary election Monday next.
Juls Anderson of the Typographical
union is also making strenuous cam
paign. Mr.. Anderson has been en-
dorsed by, several unions. Voters in
the district have the right to vote for
two candidates for the legisla ture.
Frank Scribner and Hugh Fawcett
are also good men running in the
Fifty eighth district. The present rep
resentative, Mr.. Pittinger, is can
didate for reelection. His record on
! labor legislation is bad, and he should
not be renOminated.
There are no contests in the Fifty
ninth district in the primary election
where Emil Erickson, the labor can
cidate for the senate, appears to have
a Walk-away.-W. E. NJ.

JOHNSON RUNNING
STRONG FOR SHERIFF

Walter johnson is making the best
campaign for sheriff ever made by a
candidate for political office in this
county. Walter is only common
workingman. Every dollar he spends
has been earned by hard labor. So
in making his campaign he carries
with him his political cards and tack
hammer. He, has not neglected a
single spot in the county.
At Virginia he is the leading can
didate for sheriff.. No other can
didate's name is mentioned. At Hib-
bling he will be stronger than he was
two years ago. His friends are legion
in all the other towns.

flying, heading the list. He is the
