Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation of labor, has recently come
out and announced himself in favor
Of Mr.. Cox as president, and because
as he states, Mr.. Cox is sup
posed to be friendly with the labor or
CARNATIONS. This fact is urged as a
reason why labor Organizations should
support him.
The truth is that Mr.. Gonpers is a
life long democrat and would support
Mr.. Cox for political reasons. The
fact is Mr.. Gompers has, been a slave
to President Wilson and fl every way
he was able to do SO supported Presi.
dent Wilson in the measures which he
advocated Mr.. Wilson was able to
furnish an adequate consideration for
his support inasmuch as he was con.
sistently yielding to the demands of
labor and threw his influence in shap
Ing legislation to increase the pay of
labor at the time when he was charged
with doing it for political purposes. Will
son certainly made concessions enough
to win the labor vote and he would
naturally throw his influence for Cox
to insure his getting support of the
labor vote in this campaign.
as The truth is the democratic party
has had the benefit of the support of
the labor organizations before and for
the reason that it had made every con-
cession demanded by labor.

Professor Hammond, a distinguished
lecturer on the law who was at onH
time dean OF the law school at Iowa

spect of his associates at the bar as
well as the courts before whom he prac.
ticed.
