could be brought to DearttO elect h1S opponent was of no avail Pinchot is farmer and republican wage earn CTS voted solidly for him. In the dem ocratic primary labor supported John A. McSparran, also a farmer. Mr.
 McSparran proved his worth in the Agricultural Conference called by President Harding. MT. Gompers was the only representative of Labor present and MT. McSparran supported him in all his contentious for Labor. The legislative representatives of the American Federation of Labor and of the national and international unions are happy over the results thus far They are glad to see Henry T. Rainey of Illinois enter the field for he is sure to be elected over Guy L. Shaw of the goth Illinois district. Shaw was very active in supporting the campaign of the sugar planters of Hawaii in their efforts to secure legis- lation that would permit 5o,ooo Chin csc coolies to be imported under bond into the islands. Shaw, who is mem Der of the committee on immigration of the house, appeared on the dayfof the hearing with a list of 100 ques- tions in the interest of the sugar planters which he asked witnesses.
 
 first time he had appeared at a com heard his typewriter questions read, thought they had been written by the attorneys for the sugar planters or had been prepared by them.
 Many Labor Victories for Congress
 Candidates. l
 Another bright light will be John w. Rainey from the stockyard dis trict in Chicago, who has a 100 per cent. record in congress. Then there is Clyde Kelly, John Casey and Pat rick Mullane of Pennsylvania, Viii Han L. Cass of Minnesota, A. J. Sabath, Ed. J. King, Loren E. Vince Ter, F.. s. Williams and Edward E. Denison of Illinois. They have all been nominated and undoubtedly of the victories won in the primaries by Labor and the people.
 Senator LaFollette undoubtedly will be renominated at the primaries on September 5th, as his most bitter opponents have given up hope of ac- complishing hsi defeat. Senator La Follette's work in the senate has been of inestimable value to the people. His declaration that congress and not the Supreme Court of the United States should direct the policies of the American people is so true that none can gainsay it. The senator's work in freeing the seamen can never be forgotten. It took years of work but he stood to his task until he had struck the shackles from those who had not obtained their freedom as had the black man, under the Thirteenth Amendment. They had to fight for years for the right to leave ship in safe harbor, but through Senator La Follette's efforts, right finally tri- umphed. Assurances of Success in Many More

 Labor is also looking forward to victories in California by the nomina- ton of Senator Johnson and Repre- sentatives John I. Nolan, Clarence F. Lea and John E. Raker. Arthur M. :, Free of California, who also aided the sugar planters in their efforts to break down the Chinese exclusion laws, is opposed by Labor. From reports re- ceived he is likely to be defeated.
 The latest news from Alabama | states that Representatives Huddels- | ton and Bankhead have been renom- | to be representatives of the people | and their election is assured.
 As stated in the beginning Labor !! can feel well pleased with the results | of the primaries so far It should | encourage every just minded citizen to fight in this campaign as he never fought before. The battle will be a | bitter one and all of the forces of 1 reaction will be consolidated to re- cover in November what they lost in the primaries. Stick to the front trenches ready to go over the top and in November victory will be as sured Congress must be brought back to the people.
