Justifes Gompcrs' Stand
The prescn. tendency of labor as
Indicated In the Iowa and the Penn

Gompers in one thng--his opposition

The truth is that the necessity OF
clecting President in this country
renders third parties ineffective. No
political organization which cannot
hope to control the Executive can long

between conditions here and abroad
