THE LABOR MAN AND HIS VOTE
Southwestern Labor Record)

The campaigns for the primary
elections are now well under way,
and the majority of the candidates
have announced what they are go
ing to fight for in event they get
the particular office they are run
ming for Now is the time for the
union men to look over the various
platforms and see if there is any
thing mentioned regarding the
stand on organized labor. Many
politicians had rather evade the is
sue until they see which side of the
fence they are going to fall on. If
any of the candidates are believers
in the true principles of trade un-
ions it would behoove them to come
out and say so. 1t is nothing to be
ashamed of. To make for the bet
terment of their fellowmen. And
what could be better plank in
any platform than that statement,
providing, of course, that it was
sincere?
It has been rather contemptuous-
ly said by office seekers that there
was no need counting on the labor
vote in anything like an entirety
because of the multitude of dissent
ing views in the ranks of organized
labor. If such is the case, and we
do not believe that it is, it is high
time that the union men got to-
gether, abandon party politics and
vote as solidly as possible for the
office-seeker who is not afraid to
come out in the face Of everything
and say that he favors organized
labor. AS long as we have men in
office who have only the welfare of
themselves at heart, who are there
not for the good they might do
their fellowmen, just so long will
the man who earns his money by
the sweat of his brow be hampered
in an attempt to rise above his
present condition.
The labor vote is a powerful
weapon when properly used, and it
is up to every member of organized
labor to get out and see that the
men who stand solidly for the
masses instead of for the classes
are the ones who will handle the
affairs of the state for the coming
! two years, regardless of their poll
tical affiliations.

DIGNITY, DECORUM & DINERO
(Wickenburg State Miner)

It will come as a surprise tc
many voters and even to some can
didates that all that has occurred
hitherto in seeking publicity, the
mailing up of posters and the dis
tributing of campaign literature
all activities of any kind whatever
on the part of or on behalf of any
office seeker has been a little pre-
mature, hasty, iII-advised and in
the nature of scramble.
With the publication of the an
nouncement of the Secretary OF
State however, that there is going
to be an election, it is perfectly
proper for any citizen who wishes
office, now to announce his candi-
dacy by inserting his card in any
newspaper.

Once upon "a time, long, long
ago, there lived a man who, ac-

refused all home brewed whisky,
beer and wine that his friends Of

Explanation: Before the great
drouth became legal, he laid in a
sufficient supply of drinkables to
last him a lifetime, and so never

suming hair-oil, paint-remover or
