Why You Should Vote for La Toilette
TALK ID. 2-BY oLIvER 2. cARRUTH.

Alone among leading political plat
forms this year, the La Toilette plat
form contains a strong court plank
a plank that deserves the support Of
every member Of organized labor.
Every union man and woman
knows how the power Of the courts
has been used to defeat and nullify
the efforts of organized labor. Every
union member also knows how the
power Of the courts has been used to
defeat the plain win of the people,
as expressed in legislation adopted BY
their representatives, only too often
to be declared demonstrations" by
the courts.
The La Toilette platform tells just
where the La Toilette forces stand
q the question of judicial usurpation.
The old party platforms contain weak
and ambiguous planks on this sub
ject. Not so the La Toilette plat

ton in the public interest has been
baffled and defeated. This is evil
denced by the long struggle to secure
laws partially effective for the con-
troll of railway rates and services, the
revision of the tariff of the producer
and the consumer, statutes dealing
with trusts and combinations based
on sound principles and applied to
modern industrial and commercial
conditions.
Wheeler Adds Strength
''The Northwest is delighted over
the association of Senator Wheeler
with Senator La Toilette in this cam
paign and Wheeler has added vast
amount of strength to the independ-
'ent ticket. Too much cannot Be
said for the courage, ability, manli-
ness and cleanliness of Senator
Wheeler.
There are too many political wise
acres who will commit the folly of
Understanding the La Toilette
Wheeler strength in this campaign
because their strength will be aug
mented by the quiet, sullen strength
of that great mass Of quiet voters,
who will say but little, but will be
power at the polls. The La Toilette
Wheeler record has struck a respon-
sive chord in their hearts. They
have appraised sincerity and they
have discounted mere talk. 4
'The November results win sur
prise a great many of the old poll
ticians. Standpatters and exploiters
must learn that Lincoln never ut
tered a truer saying than that You
can fool some of the people all of
the time, all Of the people some of
the time, but you cannot fool all the
people all the time"

form, which declares, abolition of
the tyrannieal usurpation Of the
courts, including the practice Of null
lifying legislation In conflict with the
political, social or economic theories
Of the judges. Abolition Of injunc-
tons in labor disputes and the power
to punish for contempt without trial
by jury. Election Of all federal
judges without party designation for
limited terms"
The court plank is one Of the
strongest Of reasons why the worker
should support La Toilette and
Wheeler. By voting for the pro-
gressive candidates, the workers will
be striking heavy blow at the grow
ing abuse by the courts of their pow
ers. Other strong reasons why the
worker should back the progressive
ticket will be given in succeeding ar
ticles.

BY The Way

Ultra conservative folk, who be-
lieve that the courts are sacred are
hopping mad over a slashing attack
on the United States supreme court
made by Justice John Ford of the
New York state supreme court.
In a letter to Senator La Toilette
pledging his hearty support to the
senator's candidacy for president,
Justice Ford pays his respects to the
United States supreme court in no
uncertain language, denouncing it as
an absolute despotism, entirely be-
yond control of the people.
For thus plainly speaking his mind
on a subject that he ought to know
something about, being in the court
business himself, Justice Ford is be-
ing roundly abused by the standpat-
tiers. They are tearing their hair in
their Indignation and pretending to
believe that the justice represents no
one but himself in showing up" the
supreme court.
OF course, the truth of the matter
is that Justice Ford was voicing the
unspoken thoughts of great numbers
of people, who long have looked on
the federal judiciary as bulwarks of
privilege. This distrust of the courts
is based on the acts of the courts
themselves and will persist as long
as they tend to place the dollar above
the man. When the federal courts
show themselves more in harmony
with modern thought, much Of the
popular hostility to them will disap-
pear, a fact that the ultra conserva-
tives will do well to heed and ponder
over.

Contempt for the courts is nour-
ished by such performances as have
focused public attention on the ad-
ministration of justice in Illinois.
For many weeks, Chicago Judge
heard testimony in an effort to de-
eide whether two youths, sons of
wealthy parents, should be hanged or
imprisoned for life for committing an
atrocious murder, done deliberately
and after long planning.
The expenses of the proceedings
have been enormous, running, it is
estimated, into millions of dollars.
Yet everybody knows that the only
question at issue has been the de-
gree of punishment that should be
melted out to the slayers.
On the very same week that the
two young Chicago murderers pleaded
guilty, two other young men killed
a storekeeper in Cairo, in another
part of the same state. The store
keeper was killed as the men sought
to rob him, though the crime was
not premeditated. In three days the
men were arrested, pleaded guilty,
one was sentenced to death and the
other to SO years in the penitentiary.
There was no long drawn out hear
ing, with expensive alienists testifying
for state and defense. The explana-
tion?. Simple-the murderers were
negroes without money.
