GOOD CITIZENS FIRST DUTY

The first duty of a good American
citizen is to vote. No government
ever yet became corrupt as long as a
majority of its citizens took the trou-
BILE to vote.
In the last presidential election,
slightly over half the eligible voters
of this country failed to vote on Elec-
ton Day. In other words, we elected
our president by minority vote. La
Toilette can easily be elected by the
stay-at-home non-voters if they will
90 to the polls on November 4th.
The most hopeful sign on the po-
litical horizon is the enormous regis
tration of new voters in our larger
cities. All records are being broken
by the hundreds of thousands who adj
nit that they haven't voted for ten
years." but are going to do so now
because they have the opportunity to
vote for a new political deal that
promises more to the common people
than any similar movement since the
days of Lincoln.

THE X. OF C. MINSTRELS

The fifteenth annual minstrel en-
tertainment of the Knights Of Colum-
bus will be given at the Auditorium
theatre on October 27 and %.
This has ever been an event eag-
erly anticipated by the amusement
lovers of Newark and has never fail
ed to live up to its reputation of be-
ing one of the best home talent shows
given in Newark, and this years pro-
duction will, if possible, surpass any
of its predecessors.
The musical features and dancing
will be under the direction of Eddie
Ewald, with Miss Bernice Floyd at
the piano, and two premier interlocu-
tors, Hugh Rogers and Willard Rog-
ers, will keep things moving during

ing will 'be uneXpectionably fine, as
will also be the dancing and other
speciality acts.
The advance seat sale indicates
packed houses, and the management
guarantees that all patrons will en-
joy the best show seen in Newark for

FIREMEN AND OILERS

The regular meeting of Local NO.
S37 Firemen and Oilers was called to
order by Bro. Smith with a large
number of members in attendance.
Bro. McGrath, of st. Louis, General
Chairman of the International Broth
erhood of Firemen and Oilers, was
present and gave very interesting
talk on Organized Labor, and explain
ed why men should be organized and
the great benefits resulting there
from.
Bro. Frank Kane also gave US a
splendid talk on Cooperation, what 1t
is, what it is for and how it benefits
the men in every way. A general
discussion of this subject followed
and many interesting facts were pre-
sented by the speakers.
This was undoubtedly one Of the
best meetings held for some time, and
it was voted to take a more active
interest in our Union, and to build
up one of the best Locals in the
Shop Crafts.
A vote of thanks was extended to
the visiting brothers and they were
invited to come again.
The Local then adjourned to meet

The esteem in which our Congress
man William M. Morgan is held by
National Labor circles is evidenced by
the fact that H. F. Young, represen-
tative of the Journeyman Tailors
Union Of America, whose services
have been donated by his Internation-
al Union, has been sent into the dis
trict by Frank L. Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of Labor,
to assist in securing the return of
Billy Morgan to the position he has
so ably and honorably filled during
the past four years.
This is official recognition from the
highest officials of Mr. Morgan's
value to the cause of Labor, and this
alone should secure for him the united
support of every working man and
woman in the district. His record
during his congressional career

HOW MORGAN STANDS
WITH LABOR

speaks for itself. Whenever the
cause of Labor needed friend and
an able and fearless advocate and de
fender, BILLY" Morgan has never ye'
failed to fight its battles, not for hon
or or glory, but because he honestly
believes his side is the right side, and
he does not hesitate to stand up and
express himself.
Mr.. Morgan is at present one of the
vice presidents of the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor, and for many years
was president of the Newark Trades
and Labor Assembly. He has also
served many terms as president o
Musicians Local No. 122 A. F. of M,
of which he is proud of being a mem
ber.
Mr.. Young, the A. F. of L. repre-
sentative, was a welcome visitor a.
