establishing a university in Mexico
City and charging and multiply
ing high schools. normal and day
schools. A brotherly hand must be
lent to aid the Mexican people In

Puts Question Straight Up to All
Candidates for Nomination
for President. : ,
Continued From Page ~

No candidate with his pockets
stuffed with the money of the pro-
fiteers can safely be trusted to rep
resent the people. That is why labor
demands that the facts. shall be made
known while there is let time for the
people to safeguard their interests.
Grave issues are at stake, Nothing
less than the liberty of the people is
at stake. Privilege is trying to drive
the masses back into state that is
but one degree removed from feudal-
ism. Privilege. glutted with dropsical
war profits. seeks to perpetuate it
self by devoting some of it's recently
acquired funds to the corruption of
the electorate, - b. -...~.4
Labor is performing genuinely val
liable service in thus forcing into the
open the boodlers who have been
making trips to Wall street for the
millions that are being expended with
shameful probability. It Is striking
at the very root Of the greatest peril
that ever confronted the nation. It
will compel the corruptionists to stand
forth for inspection. No man subsi-
died by privilege can get into office
without the people knowing lust
where he stands and that which he
represents.
LabOr's Part in Politics.
Privilege serving congressman and
senators who fatuously imagined that
labor was fooling when it declared
that it would oppose for reelection
every man who manifested hostility
to the workers are being rapidly disil-
lutioned Of their folly.
In practically every state vigorous
campaigns are under way to force
into retirement politicians who have
clusion of the general public.
