one Of the most yiciout tyrants In
Latin.American history, to beat the
Peruvian people into unqualified sub

has been delivered over to imperial

In Peru by American Imperialism,
just as it was revived in Santo Do

conscripted to work in chain gangs

In Lima the Federation Of Printing

dictator who has done nothing but

How is it that this particular law
has become sacred to Leguia? How
is it, in the first place, that American

to get such stranglehold on the
Peruvian nation as to secure the pass

The Cerro de Pasco copper company,

After it was formed and he had been
compelled to join the union as the
clerks insisted on a 100 per cent

all hee could to expel those that had
made the union possible, those that
had cut the working hours and had
fought for pay increases. It'was thru

SUPREME COURT REFUSES
DOWNEY APPEAL.

Cleveland NJ. Seibert will remain
the Democratic nominee for judge
of the 23d district as far as the
Supreme Court is concerned. In a
decision handed down in Charleston
yesterday. the court refused to take
jurisdiction in the contest of the
convention nomination of Seibert
raised by his opponent, w. w. Dow
ney, and denied writ of mandamus
by which Downev sought to have the
convention chairman and secretary
ordered to certify his nomination.
"This court will not assume iuris-
diction, but will leave the matter for
determination by the proper tribu-
nails of the party itself or by the
electors at the polls" the supreme
tribunal declared.
Downey claimed that the chairman
acted illegally in allowing the Berke.
ly county delegation to change its
divided vote and cast it as a unit
for Seibert after the Jefferson coun.
ty delegation cast unit vote fol
Downey.
IF by their actions in invoking
the unit rule" the Court opinion
said, "the delegates violated any
patty pledges Or sacrificed any party
interests, such matters must be set
tied between them and their con
stitutents.
