GOMPERS APPEALS
FOR INDEPENDENTS
Labor Head in Statements to
Locals AssaiIs Repub|i-
cans and Democrats.

Declaring that this was the first time
IN the history Of the country that "such
tremendous and determined opposi-
tion has arisen against the sinister in
fluences that have controlled our Gov
ernment," President Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor last
night addressed message to organized
labor. defining issues upon which he
Urged support Of the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket.
The message is intended for consump-
lion by all local labor unions through
out the country and is expected to be
read at all gatherings Of local central
labor union bodies.
Through a remarka bic campaign in
1922" the message said. .tthe non par
tlsan political campaign policy OF the
American Federation of Labor was help
ful in the election of 10 members OF the
present Congress- which has been more
responsive to the wishes OF the people
than any other in many years. But
the Supreme Court and the Chief
Executives for the past four years
did and have maintained a steady
trend toward greater and greater re-
action, which is SO much desired by
the privileged few.
AssaiIs Old Parties.
THE Republican party is owned and
controlled by the reactiouarieS, by those
who, In order TO give special privi-
iegeS to the wcii-to-do, would place
heavy burdens on those least able to
bear them. The Democratic party is
controlled by the same sinister intiu-
euces. The fact is that. Coolidge and
Davis were nominated by the same ute
rior influences.
There was no protest possible until
a forward looking statesman from
out OF the Central West entered the
political contest for the purpose OF
bringing the Government back to the
PEOPLE. Millions of people dissatls-
fed with the trend in governmental
affairs sought leaders who could be
trusted to make the strenuous battle
necessary to regain control of the
Government by the people. They
chose Senators Robert ". La Toilette
of Wisconsin and Burton X. Wheeler
OF Montana.
For so years Senator La Toilette
has led the struggle for better Gov
erument- II there had been no Sena-
tor La FolIette in the Senate. there
world have been no Teapot Dome IN
vestigation. If there had been no
senator Wheeler in the Senate the
great mass OF corruption in the Gov
cFument would not have been eA-
posed and Messrs. Daugherty, Denby.
Fall and Forbes undoubtedly would
stlil be Government officials.
There is much in this election
campaign that compels that part Of
the people who seek honest Govern
ment to give heed.
Labor Is most vitally interested,
but labor is not fighting for itself
alone; 1t is lighting for all the people,
as it asks for nothing that will not
benefit every CITIZEN IN our beloved
republic.
"A party that places special privi-
ieges on the auction block and bold
~ peddles the natural resources OF
the Nation cannot defend itself by
seeking to place halo around the
heads of myth, with view OF max
ing him the sole issue in this cam
paign."

he would share in the winnings of

who was seeking to buy an insurance
company, but who failed to close

cause "a trip to Europe interfered.

for $4,000 he would try to influence

not for the activity of campaign committees prob
ably not ten per cent of them would go to the
polls This is question to which statesmen might
address themselves to good effect even if it isn't
so popular to remind the dear people of their short
comings as it is to lambast the hated putocrats.
There much truth in the caustc observation provoked
in defense of the Republican national committee which
criticized in 1920 for the huge deficit it left At that time
Will H. Hays the chairman, made effort to limit campaign
contributions, but could not enough contributions

the necessary fund.
