and inclinations and, more definitely.

$ they may be affected by legislative
or administrative action. Not only will
the record of every candidate be tested
by the measure Of his devotion to la

What may be called "labor PLATFORM"

event, such a platform is being evolved
for the leaders.
None VIII Escape Scrutiny
In respect to acceptance or rejection
of a candidate, according to his record,
it is proposed to leave nothing to doubt
or ignorance, but to make a searching
examination of the entire career of
every candidate for office, from Presi-
dent down.
The task of gathering the data that
will place members of Congress and
Federal officeholders in Washington in
the golden book of the good and faith
fu! or in the dark volume of the black
balled is far advanced. The investiga-
tors get together all the facts they can
ny their hands on, such as votes,
speeches, letters, interviews, state
tons of the officeholder, digest their
findings and lay their recommendation
before the campaign committee, where
probably the "big three" Messrs. Com
pers,' Morrison and O'Donnell, will sit
in final judgment. Generally speaking
no man will be found guilty or acquit-
ted on the strength of a single vote or
single act, though there is a tendency
to make the position of Representa-
tives on the railroad return bill the
principal test. However, even a vote

confidence in the states future dev-

taken a less stringent attitude against
the present aspect of things in North
Dakota. He is the holder of other
large farm properties in the Edmore
district which are reported as being
