People Appreciate His Help


This interest is due to his outspoken
championship for the miners in their
long struggle in which they were re-
buffed by every political spokesman
with few exceptions and his long rec
ord of service for the plain people.
His opponents are Senator Pepper,
whose tagging campaign has been re-
vived by the powerful influence of the
MELONS of Pittsburg, who have call
ed upon the powerful financial, social
and commercial support which is
theirs to re-elect their candidate and
keep Pennsylvania safe for the old
guard.
Philadelphia is the center of the
Ware opposition, where the political
gang long in control Of the city is
marshalling its ward leaders to roll
up plurality for William S. Ware
that will counteract the strength of
the other two rivals in the country
districts.

President, American Federation of

The American Federation of Labor
is strongly committed to the policy
of collective bargaining, of wage con-
tracts and the observance of wage
agreements. 1t will not depart from
this well established policy. 1t has
made its greatest progress through
a religious observance of contract OBJ
legations. In my opinion the organi-

Lee AND ADAMS
ALL READY FOR
TONICHT'S FIGHT
Battle of Big Fellows Is
Considered Z an Even
Affair.

Old Man Jinx is going TO work on
somebody at the Ell Centre arena to-
night. Harold Adams and Harry
Lee, well and favorably known mitt
singers are going to step into the
ring for ten rounds or less of fis-
tic cndcavOr and the fans are won
dcring what Old Man Jinx will do
about it. AS it is Friday, the 18th,
it is granted that it is his night to
howl and both batters are reported
to have spent the past "a hours
searching for luck tokens of one
sort or another. By common cen
sent they have ruled against horse
shoes it was reliably reported along
the fistic rialto.
Regardless of the hoodoo time and
setting local fans are keyed up with
expectation Of seeing a whirlwind
battle when the two favorites clash.
Both have shown the fans exception
al battles in their starts here and
both boast Of kayo victories over
Billy MCGOWAN, no slouch of u
fighter himself.
From here it looks like an even
money proposition. The boys are
tough, aggressive, and possessed of
capable punching powers. Lee may
have u little on Adams when it
comes to weight but this advantage
is more than cvencd by Adams
toughness and exceptional strength
which allows him to mix it ON even
terms with heavier men.
On the basis Of the BATTLES against
McGowan, Harold has u little the
better of the argument. He slowed
Mac away with comparative ease
here recently and during the three
rounds the battle was i'll progress
Mac was unable to mark Him.
II is true that Mac held him to
Il draw some time ago III Los An
geles but the battle was staged at
the outset of Adams career. Lee
has always had more or less trouble
getting by MCGOWAN. He drew with
Mac in their first meeting, kayoed
him in the second, but Mac came
back to hold him to a draw i'll their
last meeting. ...,-
Any way you look, at it the mill
stacks up as promising plenty OF
thrills for the boys who like their
swatfests productive of heavy hit
ting and high speed milling.
