Local UniOnist Paper Admits
Defeat in County Primaries.
Claims Only One Victory, NOmi-
nation of Davis.
won't STICK TOGETHER"
Larimer Talked of for Proposed
State Police Head.
Raub Many Run as Independ-
ent, Report Hath 1t.
BY PERCY c. POWELL.


Labor Won in its fight for only one
office at the primaries. according TO
an admission made in a local trades
uniOnist paper. This one victory was
the nomination of Jonathan Davis for
governor on the Democratic ticket.
The labor organ claims that the
strength of the farmer-labor vote put
Davis in the running, aItho many Ia
boring men assert a majority Of the
laborinS men swung over to the Re
publ1cans at the primaries to boost
Snow and swat Allen.
In county politics the labor organ
admits it was defeated on every hand
and the only consolation was in the
defeat of Senator w F. SchOch for the
state senate and the nomination of
Hugh Fisher. No mention is made
OF o. S. True who was the avowed Ia
Dor union candidate for the state SEN
ate job.
Doubtful of Fisher.
The labor organ. however, expresses
doubt as to the sincerity of Fisher
future actions in behalf of labor, as
follows:
He may be carrying a loaded club
for u.s.
Then. the paper virtually admits
something that everyone else always
beIieved-that the quiet, laborinS man
has a mind of his own and is not in
fIuenced TO any great extent at the
polls in behalf of labor organization
candidates picked by the leaders and
for whom the rank and file are told
TO vote and work. The labor organs
expression on the failure Of labor to
stand behind certain alleged leaders
in the primaries follows:
When we take into consideration
the vote of the entire county. there
may be reason but. when we cOnsid-
er some of these as embracing the
city of Topeka. and others only dis
tricts of the city. in both of which the
labor vote is something like 70 per
cent, there certainly is 4 reason also,
and one moro easily comprehended.
II is the same old reason and the
same old difficulty labor always has
encountered. not only i'll politics but In
their individual matters:
They won't stick together.
