Seuenty-Fiue Liue- Wire Politicians Are
Advising Workers to Cast Their Ballots
for Democratic Party Candidates.

tack upon Gov. Cox's labor record in
| Congress and the digging up of some
statements derogatory to him made at
the time by labor officials.
Republicans Expect Reaction.
The republicans also expect to got a
, reaction in their favor from the very
fact that organized labor has under
taken to defeat the republican ticket.
1t is calculated that when full realiza-
| ton comes of that propaga nda. indepen-
dent votes will be drawn to the repub-
lcan ticket, men who resent organized
labor's political activity in the black
listing of a whole party. Democratic
managers, while appreciative of kind
words from any source. are not unmind-
full of this phase and realize that it
may not rebound entirely to their ad-
vantage. especially if toward the end
of the campaign the labor politicians
should become aggressive.
Aggressiveness, however. is just
what the democratic managers desire
to avoid, and the labor political work
ers are being admonished to keep
their activities under cover as much
as possible, so as to avoid stirring up
reaction. Inded. this seems to be
and it is what worries the republicans.

The most of the work is being. it
meetings. and in passing the word
quietly from man to man. The only
way the republicans can combat this
is by the distribution of literature
and the efforts of the campaign talk
ers wherever laboring men can be
addressed in crowds.
The republicans have highly COM
petent organization of foreign-lan-
guage voters and are making appeals
to them in their native tongue through
their own class newspapers and in
printed documents. Voters of Italian
blood are said to be very friendly
to the republicans, as are the Scan
dinavians and the Greeks. The Poles
are somewhat offish, but are being la
bored with to bring them around to a
more favorable attitude.
The coal miners vote is worrying
the republicans a great deal. Ohio
and Indiana coal miners are classed
as practically all democrats. and now
1t is reported that sympathetic
wave is spreading among the coal
miners of West Virginia. Gov. Cox
is solid with the Ohio coal miners
because he never used troops in
strikes. and the democrats are play
ing up this fact with miners in every
state.

of straight republican votes cast no
doubt some of the democrats would
have carried the county this year.
1t is quite generally conceded that
the majority of the women voters
cast their ballots for the republican
nominees.
The large majority for Harding is
a landslide. Lincoln township re-

BRYAN BLAMEs WILSON.

In a statement at Lincoln last ev-
ening William ]. Bryan placed what
he termed the blame for the demo-
cratic defeat about equally between
President Wilson and Governor Cox.
"The president" he said, Laid the
foundations for the disaster and the
governor completed the structure"
The statement says in part:
"The American people want the
government to play its part in the
abolition Of war, but they are indif-
ferent as to whether we are part
of league or part of an association
of nations. There is nothing in q
name, but everything in a sentiment.
The real issue presented by the dem
ocratic party was not whether We
should cooperate with other nations
interested in peace. but whether We
should assume a moral obligation
which had no wight except as 1t sus-
pended the right of congress to act
independently when the time arrived
for action. The nation will do its
part in aiding to prevent war, but
il will not surrender into the keep
ing of any foreign group the right to
determine when we shall declare
war.
Governor Cox. instead Of repair
ing the injury done by the president.
aggravated the situation by the man
ner in which he avoided domestic il
sues and misrepresented tha position
Of the republican party on the
league issue, which he declared to bo
paramount"

DEMOCRATS GIVE UP HOPE.
National Chairman White, Though
Disappointed, Wires His
Congratulations.

Chairman White, OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee, made
the following statement from his
New York office this morning:
"The abandonment by some OF
the most prominent republican
leaders Of the very league Of nations
which they helped to construct have
been successful. The people have
succumbed to confusion wrought by
these distinguished men and to the
Misrepresentation of those who
would not and did not understand
the league Of nations. hope 1t
may yet be rescued from the polit-
ical morass and be saved to man
kind.
mo one has any occasion for bit
terness or for recrimination. What
the whole people decide the whole
people must accept. The democratic
national committee abides by the re-
suit cheerfully, II with foreboding.
Senator Harding Is the peoples pres
ider<.
I'm this election republican prop
uganda has been shrewdly directed
to induce the descendants OF six Eu-
ropean nations to vote as six Euro
pean nations instead of as one
American nation. They have in
weighed these Americans to vote
with their thoughts across the sea
instead of on this country.
1.-THE common task must be to
unite this group again.
1.-THE fate of Irish freedom has
been settled adversely. Men and
women of Irish blood have voted
for the candidate who has declared
the Irish question to be a domestic
problem of Great Britain in which
we have no official concern. With
their support the American people
have returned the Irish problem to
Downing street. They have indoors
ed. am sad to say, a separate peace
with Germany.
"For the first time in eight years
a republican party is face to face
with the task of constructive legis-
lation, and more than that, the
measures of reconstruction for
which the country has been asking
q republican congress for two years
in vain. They must change a mega
tive record into a positive. And in
this task they have the best wishes
of all who love their country.
"As the national chairman of a
party which is and has always been
for America first, have sent mes
sages of congratulations to Senator
Harding, Governor Coolidge and Mr..
Hays. wish them success"
Mr.. Whites kilograms OF congrat-
ulations follows:
Senator Harding, Marion, Ohio:
"The American people have over

congratulations and best wishes for
a successful leadership Of this great
nation in its critical hour"

of the people for vice-president.

JAMES M. PIERCE DEAD.
Prominent Des Moines Publisher
Died Suddenly Of Heart
Failure Monday.

James M. Pierce, who died sud
denly at his home in Des Moines
at noon Monday of heart failure,
has been conspicuous figure in
Iowa for many years. AS publisher
OF the Iowa Homestead since 1883
he has developed publishing and
printing business of large proper
lions. Particularly in the last ten
years his publication has taken a
most active part in state political
affairs and in the campaign which
closed Tuesday 1t had conferred its
activities against the election of
Kendall for governor and Cummins
for United States senator.
James M. Pierce was IL years of
age. He was born in Richland
county, Ohio, in 1848. and came to
the middle west in 1857, settling in
northern Missouri, where he worked
as a farm hand. He later learned
the printers trade and went into
the newspaper business in Bedford,
Iowa, being engaged in PUBLISHING
weekly newspapers for about fiji
teen years. He purchased the Iowa
Homestead in 1885, and in 1898
took over two other farm papers,
the Farmer and Stockman, with
headquarters at Kansas City, ano
the Wisconsin Farmer, with head
quarters at Madison, Wis. These
three papers have since that time
been known in the publishing world
as the Pierce trio. He also devel-
oped a large printing and engraving
business.
Five years ago he completed a
new building and publishing plant
on Grand avenue, near Nineteenth
street, Des Moines, with especially
commodious quarters for the COM
posing rooms and printing depart
ments. This year, however, he has
been building an addition to his
printing departments.
Mr.. Pierce has always been pro-
digious worker and his capacity for
work has been the marvel of many
younger man. Not only did he
spend his days in his office. but his
nights as we'll. 1t was characteristic
of him to handle vast amount oil
detail and practically all OF the az
fairs of his big business were given
his personal attention. He was also
recognized as a hard fighter but a
staunch friend, particularly to those
associated with him in the conduct
of his business.
ellis heart was as big as his body
one of his employees said Of him on
Monday. mo man ever treated his
employees better. Nothing was too
good for them. He paid good money
and supplemented these wages and
salaries with frequent gifts when
some particularly good piece OF
work had been done. He never turn
ed a deaf ear TO an appeal for help.
Besides his widow Mr.. Pierce
leaves two sons and a daughter,
Dante M. Pierce, Ray E. Pierce and
Mrs. Hugo Schnable.

TORONTO. Ont, April 22- The organized butchers of this city have submitted to their employers de- mand that tea be served to them at 9 a. m. daily and that they be allowed 10 minutes of company time in which to drink it. They also ask for 10 min utes in the morning to don their but cher clothes and 10 more at night to dress for the street. These demands are made part of proposed renewal of the working agreement drawn up by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers Wolkmen. Other re- quests are for a 44-hour week and a wage increase averaging 50 per cent. Packing plant managers declare these terms cannot be granted.

DIAMONDS NOW
 $500 A CARAT

Men contemplating marriage last fall gasped when the price of dia- monds went to $500 a carat.
 The second Semi-annual gasp IS due, for diamonds are now s9O0 a carat.
 From the standpoint of those who already own diamonds the news of the increased prices is good news. Diamonds never get to be second hand. Thousands are affected by the 33 l-S advance. The one carat engage ment ring purchased ten years ago for $50 is now worth exactly $9Oo.
 It's getting tougher and tougher to fall in love, the bachelors say. A solitaire is as essential to an en- gagement as the girls consent, it is maintained, and with diamonds at 5000 a carat, the bachelor is worrying.
 But the married man isn't worry ing much, with diamonds going up. One look at his wife's ring finger, where the $50 diamond of ten years ago sparkles it's now 5000 rays, makes the married man feel in the same class with Rockefeller.
