terms. He was defeated for the
eighth term by small majority, but
the next year was elected governor
OF Ohio.
In 1892 while serving as delegate
at large from Ohio for the third time,
he found himself in the race for presi-
dent, however without his consent, for
he was an ardent supporter Of Ben
jamin Harrison and was stumping the
state in his behalf. He persistently
refused to have his name mentioned
as even a possible candidate, but de-
spite this, he received 1872 votes.
In 1896 his name was foremost
among those before the nominating
convention in 1896, and he was nom
mated on platform in which for the
first time the currency question pre-
dominated over the tariff issue, re-
ceiving 661 out of the 905 votes.
Mr.. Ballreich also spoke of the
great advantages of Colorado. He said
in part: Il have spent the past sew
eral weeks in California, and / want
to tell you that those people there
are the greatest boosters on the face
of the earth. But right here in Colo
RADIO, only few miles away, you have
as fine attractions as they have any
where in the world, with the excep-
ton of few places in the Alps of
Switzerland. But you must have
roads; you must have conditions such
that people will flock here to see the
beauties of nature you have to offer.
want to tell you, my friends, that
the touris; crop is the best crop there
is. They realize it out there in Cali
fornia, and out there they are sepa-
rating them just as fast as they can
from their coin. They know what at
fractions to tourist mean.
You must tell about your state,
harp about II, sing about it, talk it,
preach it. lie about it il necessary, but
never lose an opportunity to tell what
a glorious place You have here"
In closing Mr.. Ballreich paid a most
beautiful compliment to the piano
music furnished by Miss Agnes Ben
nett, the Glee club. the excellent din
ner and the service which he declared
and all present agreed fully-could
not possibly have been improved.

INCOME REPEATS
CHARGE: AGAINST
Printers union
Union Halter Immediately Called
to Account by Employer
Of Union Labor.

NEWARK, N. j.. Oct. 16.-With
slang and vulgarity. E. ]. IMcCone,
manager of the non-union Buffalo
Commercial, told 500 employers In this
city that there were but four news
papers in the United States that
dared oppose the censorship Of the
International Typographical union.
McCone made a similar statement
last spring before Il committee of the
United States senate and received mo-.
mentarily notice at the time. His lat
est outburst has been ignored by the
press associations but he was chal-
lenged at the conclusion of his talk.
L. T. Russell. managing editor of the
Newark Ledger, jumped to his feet
and declared that never before had he
heard word about this stuff"
IT believe these statements to be
absolute rot and deliberately insult
in ; to the relationship of the printers
and the publishers said the news
paper man.
In a first page editorial the next
day Editor Russo referred to the
Buffalo anti-unionist as "peranoiac"
and IAN emotional freak" who docs
not possess the slightest primary in
formation on human or industrial
re- tions."
"In behalf of the employers as
sociation it must be said that they had
bought a pig in; a poke and didn't
know that the. thing was NANCY. and
sick mentally and morally, nntilit: had
been let out Of the bag and turned
loose on the helpess audience" said
Editor Russell.
1.-The man who goes out in public
places and appears before audiences
Of representative business men,
whether as a prostitute for p price
or gratis as hopeless fanatic. and
who makes assaults on everybody and
everything in general and antagonizes
without rhyme or reason, without
knowledge of fact or regard for a
fact, is a greater menace a thousand
times over to the business institutions
and the industries Of this country than
the disciples of Lenine and Trotzky
who infest our cities and industrial

LABOR DOES NOT

Veteran Labor Chettaln Deties
Non-Union Shoppers to Meet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-'Bring
forth what treachery your cunning
and your greed may DEVISE" is Pres
ident Gompers' defy to the United
of commerce of the United States,
which recently declared in favor of
the non-union shop and individual
bargaining.
Writing in American Federationist,
current issue, President Gompers
says:
"For several years the national as
sociation of manufacturers functioned
as a labor-baiting organization. It
sought the destruction of the labor
movement. Its policy was to prevent
by any means legislation in the inter-
ests of labor and the people generally.
But it had this at least to its credit,
it's open enmity to the cause Of labor
and justice. The investigation by the
senate and the house of representa-
tives brought the national association
Of manufacturers into contempt. Since
then, its activities. if there have been
such, have been insignificant, unno-
ticed and without respect. The United
States chamber of commerce has
taken its place. It assumes a degree
Of respectability wholly unwarranted
and never pretended by the national
association Of manufacturers. The
former was a bold buccaneer; the
latter is a .consummate Iabo.
I'm answer, the labor movement OF
America has but this to say to the
chamber Of commerce of the United
States and to all who are the enc
mics Of labor and the foes of progress:
Devise what schemes you will
bring forth what treachery your cum
ming and your greed may devise. the
working people Of the United States
will not submit to injustice, will not
consent to reaction, will not forego
the right to struggle onward and will
not forget how to fight.
Every effort to undermine the
progress that has been made, every
effort to stay. the tide Of progress
upon which We are now embarked
every suggestion of reaction in our
industrial life will be opposed with ali
thu intelligence and with all the might
that is in u.s."

at Ellis Island

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-The< rush of
alien labor to America continues at
a top-notch record. Last week immi-
grafton authorities closed Ellis Island
for-4S hours in order to catch up with
the recording of newcomers. While
this was being done 10 ocean liners
were held down the bay with 10000
steerage passengers aboard.
In announcing the closing Of the
Island. Assistant immigration Com
missioner Uhl said that $500 out of
1900 immigrants on four large liners
not permitted to dock were examined
by Federal inspectors during the day
on board ship.
Ellis Island, according to reports
made by the immigration officials, is
so crowded as to make sleep virtually
impossible. One night last week 3,319
immigrants were detained in quarters
with sleeping accommodations for
only 1900 persons. A majority passed
the night sitting on benches and many
literally slept on their feet.
At the present time there are more
than 1000 aliens on the island who
have no funds to proceed to their
destinations in this country and are
awaiting the receipt Of money from
relatives or friends.
Immigrants have been arriving
faster than. they can be handled by
the Ellis Island staff. and the stream
has been slowly backing up at. the
station: Last week the registrations
were 20.503, the largest on record at
the port.

venient for them to devote very much attention
to political affairs without negecting their homes

operation between husband and wife way can
be found to enable the real housewife to get away
from home for short periods each day to perform
work as a citizen.
Some hard work must be done between now
and election day. Every workingman is urged to
do his part. He should talk the matter over
frankly with his wife and other women voters in
his home, and when they see their duty they will
respond as it has ever been their pride to do. All
the efforts of labor in politics will fail unless the
working women and the wives Of the workers play
their part with the men to save the day for
labor. They cannot afford to be outvoted by The
women of the rich. It would not be good for the
country if they were.
The men and women voters of the working
folks can hold the balance of power in any elec-
tion if they will. They can re-elect William L.
Carss to Congress. They can defeat every reac-
tionary and "back to normalcy'' candidate that is
running for office: They can save the day for
progress and liberalism, but they will have to reg
lister before they will be entitled to do that big
job with their votes. =. ..2., -

Federal Board for Vocational
Training Finds Jobs for
Crippled Workers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The fed
eral board for vocational training re-
ports successes in training men into
new employments by the quickest and
safest route to make them competent
wage earners. It is estimated that
there are 100000 persons in this coun-
try who have suffered vocational ham
dicaps from industrial accidents. This
number represents the accumulation
of years.
To rehabilitate these workers, and
also ex-service men, the federal board
hc.s been voted money by congress to
give to the various states an amount
for vocational training that equals the
amount appropriated by the state.
The state boards must accept the edu-
cational plans formulated by the fed
eral board.
The states that have accepted the
federal law are Arizona, Georgia. In
diana, iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, New
York, North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon
and Tennessee. Previous to the en-
actment of this law these states
passed their own legislation covering
this subject: California, Illinois, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New
jersey New York, North Dakota, Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Virginia.
AS a first step the state boards are
compiling the names and addresses Of
disabled individuals. This informa-
ton is furnished by workmen's COM
pensation commissions, public health
commissions, hospitals and Red Cross
home-service stations
The federal board says trade unions
are an aid to this movement which il

representative for the Eighth congress
sional district of Minnesota. While at
the outset of the compaign few per-
sons entertained any hope for his
election, they had failed to take into
consideration the changing sentiment
of the people, who were becoming
tired of the old order and were long
ing for the new, for a mixture OF in
dustrial and political craftsmanship in
one Individual. And greatly to the
surprise of the old school Mr.. Carss
was elected.
Began as a Novice.
He went to Washington as a novice
with no previous legislative expert
once. it took him some time to get
his bes rings and learn the ways of
consress not so lor- as it would take
some men. ,bu. some time at least. He
was patient and persevering, courte-
Gus and persistent. and soon won the
respect and esteem of the leading men
at Washington.
HE seldom missed session. He
never lodged a vote. And on every
occasion he voted on the side of the
people no matter what issue was in
volved. He voted for every labor mea-
sure, for woman suffrage, for every
farmer bill. for every measure to re-
duce the cost of living, for every bill
to assist soldiers of the world war, to
provide pensions for veterans of the
Spanish american var, and on every
vote that was ,aken he stood just
where the average man would have
him stand.
He vetod against the water power
bill that vested special privilege in
certain favored interest, against the
transportation a. t, known as the Esch-
Cummins bill, which placed a mort
gage on the American people to guar
antee a fixed dividend to the rail-
roads, favor not enjoyed by any
other business in the country.
True to His Trust.
ION each and every occasion Mr..
Carss proved true to his trust. He
voted with the people and against the
special interests. He secured the only
fede- al appropriation that was made
for Minnesota during tho last session
of congress.
He obtained a life saving station
for the north shore of Lake Cuperior
AMI the loan Of a sub chaser to patrol
