Middlekamp for Reimbursement
Legislature
State Treasurer George H. Middle
kamp, the Democratic candidate for
State Auditor, against the wise, crafty
Republican nominee, George Hack
man, has informed Secretary of State
Sullivan that elected or not he will aid
him in his endeavor to bring about
the passage by the next General As
sembly of the measure reimbursing
the State printer for all actual losses
he incurred in carrying out his Mis-
souri, printing contract. These two
big Missouri Democrats are of the
opinion that all electors agree with
them in that it is no more than just
and right that such legislation be en-
acted. Missouri is too big and pros
porous to deprive any citizen Of any
thing which is justly due and have
such an individual suffer heavy finan-
cial losses as reward for being hui
manitarian and paying living wages
to deserving toilers.
Labor Favors Cox, Atkinson, Long
and Buford
Both the National and State Dem
ocratic tickets seem to meet with the
hearty approval of organized labor of
Missouri, Judging from the individual
Endorsements which have been Off
cially given to most of the nominees.
On top of the hearty patriotic in
dorsement of Cox by the huge power
full far-reaching international organ
ization, the American Federation of
Labor, the Missouri State Federation
of Labor has gone on record along
the same avenue through reiterating
the Cox Endorsement and promulgat-.
ing this fact to all union men and wo-
men of the commonwealth. The can
didacies of Atkinson, Long, Sullivan
and other State. Democratic nominees
were also heartily Endorsed. 49,,
This good work was done at con-
ference of leading Missouri labor
leaders at st, Joseph Saturday, Oct.
2, Since then labor central bodies
of st. Louis, Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Jefferson City, Sedalia, Springfield,
Moberly, Hannibal. Cape Girardeau,
Joplin, Brookfeld and other Missouri
cities, have approved the endorse
ments of certain Democratic candi-
dacies which organized labor of the
State so graciously and voluntarily
rendered Cox. Atkinson, Long and
Sullivan are in this "fair list"
Kansas City Strong for Atkinson
and Buford
Organized labor Of Kansas City was
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nominee, John M. Atkinson, when he
made his primary race for that big
honor, and materially assisted in land
ing that big plum for him., This
Democratic nominee is now on the
nom partisan "fair slate of the Mis-,
souri, State Federation of Labor and
also on that of the Central bodies of
Kansas City, st. Louis and other Mis-
souri, cities. Carter M. Buford, the
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
Governor, was rendered the same rec
ognition by the same powerful forces
at the st. Joseph conference. Not so,
however, with Hiram Lloyd, the NOM
inee of the "gops" for Lieutenant
Governor. He is st. Louis contrac-
tor and builder and while he employs
union men he has never really been
always friendly and entirely fair to
the cause. In the past he always
stood out until almost the last among
all effected contractors and builders
of St. Louis when increases in wages
and shorter hours were contended for.
In the August primary organized
labor Of st. Louis Endorsed the candi-
dacy of Willis H. Meredith of Poplar
Bluff for the Democratic nomination
for Attorney The 5000
votes he received there. half of which
came from organized Democratic tolls
ers of st. Louis, gave him the nominas
ton. Union labor of that city Gand
elsewhere in the State is still strong
for Meredith and will endeavor to
bring about his election by good ma
jority next month.
Sullivan and Supreme Judges
Endorsed
The Missouri State Federation Of
Labor, the st. Joseph conference, in
dorsed the candidacy Of Secretary of
State John l.. Sullivan, pro,nulgating
1t all over Missouri that he is fair to
the cause of the wage earning men
and women of Missouri. The candi-
dacies of Judges VIM. T. Ragland,
