Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-06-21
.LabOr's Opportunity

William NJ. Morgan has announced
his candidacy for Congress in this,
the Seventeenth District, which has
so long been ably represented by one
man. The Leader has nothing det-
rimental to say of Mr. Ashbrooks
motives or actions, in fact they have
been beyond reproach.
But the time has come to look
little bit farther than for Congress
man to spend time and effort upon
the needs of one part of his constltu-
ency without due regard to the
! claims of others.
!, There are in the Seventeenth Dist,
s old and honored soldiers, of several
g wars, and there will be more after
4 the present one is over, and Mr..
<1gan stands for each and every one
! to receive not only just, but
liberal compensation, for the services
rendered, and also adequate protec-
, ton for their dependents. But Mr..
Morgan stands for more. He is
I living example of pluck, rectltude,
and an abiding faith that all men
should be treated as equal. He COM
bines in himself, not only the theory,
but the NATURALIZATION of the con-
e crete idea that the interests of labor
and capital, when properly under
: stood, are identical.

himself for nomination for congress,

Earnest and enthusiastic support.
III In marked and unique degree
/ he will represent the labor, as well
lSH the capital class. A little bi-
MHaphy will not here be amiss, to let

Nutter, street PAYERS. Rapidly ad-
e,ancing by his strict attention to the
"details as we'll as the larger pros
poets in sight he soon arose from
The ranks, and in due time took his
blaze as factor in Newark's indus
krial life which he now maintains

ter and honor to himself.
SUI 1896 Mr.. Morgan joined the

at the candidate, for whom labor
mems support is solicited in this
Corial, is not a One-sided man. Mr..
dgan rapidly rose in the COM
lercial life of Newark, and became
aImember of the firm of Tenny e.
gan, wool buyers, and upon Mr..
% decease about a year ago,

as, engaged in the same line

Z this, as in every relation of life,
M&gan has proved himself not
ahRble, but worthy of the sup
! ~ every laboring man, without
I'D of politics, for the position
Mc ngressman from the 18th Dist.
IVntire effort in Congress, will be
1y to bring closer the mutual
ions of all his constituents to
~ general government, but with
NIcular stress will he work for the
rdinate rights of workmen and
oyes.
