PRESIDENTS SALARY

In addition to his $4,000 annual
salary, President Wilson is allowed
100000 for maintenance of the
White House and travelling expenses
in the sundry civil appropriation bill
approved by the house. The presi-
dent of the United States is the low
est paid chief executive of any major
nation in the world, and in this at
least we still adhere to our boasted
democracy. Of the amount named in
the sundry bill, $45,000 is for repair
and furnishing the White House, up
keep of vehicles and horses, or to be
spent otherwise as the president may
determine; $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses; $4,000 for care of executive
mansion greenhouses, and $4,000 for
fuel. Food and clothing must be pro-
vided for out of the presidents wages.
The only time president ever saves
any money is when he gets sick or
goes fishing.

notorious Calvin S. Coolidge, the
present Governor of Massachusetts,,
who became not famous but infamous
in a day by turning loose his band
of cossacks and hired thugs and gun
men when the Boston policemen went
out to enforce a demand for decent
living wages.
The convention also completely
ignored labor's request for recogni-
tion in the party platform, and turn
ed deaf ear to Samuel Goinpers, its
honored representative, who journey
ed from Montreal, where the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was assem-
bled in annual convention, for the pur-
pose of pleading for justice and recog
milton by the great national conven-
tion.
The last straw added to the camel's
load broke his back. Who can tell
but that this last and greatest in
suit in asking laboring men to vote
for two of their greatest enemies may
not result in stampede to an avowed
friend, who if not presented by the
Democratic party in their coming con-
vention, may possibly be chosen from
their own ranks?

Former Newark Man a Candidate

w. G. Muhleman, who formerly
lived in Newark, but whose home is
now in GAINESVILLE, is candidate for
representative in Muskingum county.
Mr.. Muhleman was an ardent union
man while with us, and member of
the Trades Assembly. Our Zanes-
Vile brothers quickly recognized his
worth and ability by electing him
president of the central body Of that
city, which position he now fills. If
labor in the Clay city does its duty
he will win out over his opponent by
a two-to-one vote. Get busy boys,
and show your strength by electing
labor's candidate by an overwhelming
majority.

"BY THEIR DEEDS SHALL YE
KNOW THEM"

This paper is absolutely non-parti-
san and non-sectarian, and we have
ever lived up to the declaration car
ried at the masthead, "free from pol
itical or religious affiliation," but we
believe present conditions justify a
few words regarding the men recently
chosen as candidates for President
and Vice President of the United
States.
The Chicago convention was pre-
ceded by perhaps the greatest assem-
blage Of the harpies and buzzards of
Wall street, aptly styled the "In-
visible Government" ever assembled,
and the evening before the convention
opened these representative of capi-
tai and greed met at the Blackstone
Hotel in Chicago, and behind locked
doors formulated a plan of action
whereby men of their own choosing
should be placed in nomination.
Among "those present" were: Judge
Gary of the U. S. Steel Corporation,
Pratt of the Standard Oil, two repre-
sentatives of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
together with representatives of the
Crucible Steel Company and a big
Boston banking corporation. Gary,
the openly avowed enemy of organ
lied labor, Pratt of the Standard Oil
and Lamont of the banking house of
j. P. Morgan, Englands fiscal agents,
and many other multi-millionaires,
travelled all the way to Chicago to
issue their orders to the leaders of
the Republican party.
That the mission of these agents
of the Invisible Government" has
brought forth fruit, and that the in
structions issued that the National
Convention must select candidates
acceptable to "big business" were
followed, and that the influence of
billions Of dollars triumphed over the
wishes of the rank and file of the
Republican party as expressed at the
primaries, need no further proof than
the announcement of the names of
the gentlemen selected by the con-
vention as standard bearers next No
vember.
Senator Warren G. Harding, the
U. s. Senator from Ohio, has con-
tinuous, never ending record of con-
sistent antagonism to organized la
Dor. Seldom has his voice been
raised or vote cast in favor of laws
looking to the betterment of the work
ing conditions of the nations toiling
masses. If for no other cause than
his stand on the infamous Esch-Cum-
Minis bill, with its anti-strike and en-
forced labor provisions, his nomina-
tion is an insult to honest organized
labor. And this is the man for whom
the toiler is asked to cast his vote
for President of this great nation.
And then, to add insult to injury
in choosing as his running mate the
