Much important legislation is likely
TO be passed at this session Of Con-

constructive lines. All large project
undertakings from now on will be in
fluenced more or less by the uncer-
tainties and excitement of the ap-
preaching Presidential campaign.
with a new labor party in the
field, it is easy to tell the trend that
the campaign will take, for organ
lied labor has entered American pol

pie will never give in to minority rule,
nor to the evils that result from it,
