Rulnored Lincoln Club Members
are Trading Candidates to
Squeeze One Through.
QUEER COMBINATIONS ARE
MADE IN Different PARTS
Candidates Cutting and Funck
for Municipal Judges Favored
~ by Majority Of Voters.

The hardest licks in the cam
paign must be put in between now
and Tuesday. In our opinion Sam
uel F. Snively for mayor and P. G.
Phillips for commissioner will
have a walk-away. There is a real
contest on between Merritt and
Bush for commissioner and both
sides are confident.
1t is rumored that the Lincoln club
is making trades for votes in different
sections of the city. The clubs only

be more of handicap than a boost.
J.. Strange Combinations.
We have heard Of one such combin-
alton as 'Snively; Thillips and Bush.''
Another Is reported to be, .'Snively,
Phillips and Getchell," still another is
"Getchell and Merritt" with the can
didate for mayor left out. and the last
we heard was Ward. Getchell and
Merritt" How this trading of votes
will work out is a conundrum.

''0pen Shop" Crowd Ms|tates
to Religious Bodies; Says
They Must Quit Labor.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 31.-Re-
dictionary employers in this city have
become so bra:en that they served
notice on religious and senli-religious
organizations that they must be deaf,
dumb and blind on the labor ques-
ton or greed's purse strings will be

The Employers Association of
Pittsburgh has, issued a circular to
their membership, supplemental to
the one issued last January, in which
attention was called to the Industrial
program of the Young Women's
Christian association and the efforts
of that organization to raise 100000.
The industrial program of these
women includes collective bargaining.

unemployment, minimum wage and

principles and reaction gloats that
they only raised 100000 'as a result
of the information given our men,
bers."
The ladies of tho Y. w. C. A. were
very worthy over the action" says
the employers, but we told them we
could do nothing unless they would
repudiate the action of their national
body and promise not to send any
OF the sums they were raising to the
national headquarters, where it would,
of course, be used in the support of
the national program which had been
adopted, and which, we believed, to
be detrimental to our American in
stitutions.
THE dangerous attitude Of some
of our religious and quasi-religious
institutions is one of the most serious
things we have to face at the pres
ent time.
THE radical and bolshevik elements
in the churches seem to be \co-operat-
ing through the federal council of
the churches of Christ in America
and many Of our members are ,ex-
pressing themselves as determined to
discontinue financial support of their
respective churches unless they with
draw all moral and financial support
from the federal council"
