Gen Wood and Labor.

What is General Leonard Weeds
attitude toward labor and labor's at
titude toward General Leonard Wood?
This question has been asked by a
great many voters Throughout the
country and particula ly since Gen

and respect for law and government

that they have received abundant eyi.
dences that the relations between
General Wood ard labor are most con
dial throughout the country and tina
in the probable event of his nomina-
ton he would poll a most substantial
share of the workingmens vote
! In substantiation Of this statement,
Mr.. Gould exhibited a telegram from
Alleghaney County, Pennsylvania
which contained the names of severa'
hundred members of the Leonard
Wood League of Western Pennsylvan-
ia. Among the names were these OF
fifteen labor union presidents, includ
ing Stationary Firemen, Building

Carpenters lronworke $, Iloistine

that among Genera Woods support

player of few seasons ago, and
Robert WOodside, eommender of the

list are men of all professions, trades

has made his position plain in the je
words:
