at the alleged heartessness of the big corporations
Only elect him again and thereafter there WIZ DC
new earth and new Heaven for the laborlng mass
es The union labor fakr usually supports the cor
poration politician in this frantic appeal and is ever
ready to pledge his word his honor and his reputation
that the said politician is ready to die thous
and deaths and endure many martyrdoms that the
laboring man might live happy and cOntented for ever
after AS rule this labor fakr has acquired some de-
gree of the magicians art and his presence on tne
platform seems to soothe away many OF the doubts
and misgivings which the workers had till that mo-
ment rightly entertained about the said politician
Little alas do the real workers know that their sup
posed felow-worker the Labor Far, less than the
politician, is wellpad employee of the very eorpor
alton that both he and his colleague the politician, so
holly and with prearranged exquisteness pretend TO
denounce. All this is part of the game and we warn
the genuine workers of Butte and Montana to be on
the alert during the approaching senatorial campaign
for such humiliating exhibitions of hypocrisy ana
doube-crossing the part of men whom they have
elected to high official positions in their organza
lions.
These thoughts were stimulated BY the widespread
distribution throughout the State during The past
month of sheet called Labor published in Wash
ington d. That sheet the approach of every SEN
atorial election is freely circulated to the number OF
nearly hundred thousand every week and delivered
for many months before the election at the door Of
every home in Montana. 1t is filled to overlooking
with fulsome adulaton of the supposed greatness of
the reactionary Walsh and Wheeler and Of their fan
cied loyalty to the cause of Labor though specific
evidence which to base this imaginary devotion to
the toiling is at all adduced likely to be adj
Ouced. We simply told that Wheeler is brave
champion of Labor and that Walshs massive mental
ity and warm and bubblng heart is all aflame with
righteous Indignation at the terrible conditions under
which the toiling masses groan. Indeed lee
to believe that Senior Senator bestows far more
thought the welfare Of the worker than he is sup
posed to do the matrimonial intentions of Dame
Hartman, widow of the late Railroad King Hartman
Of course, this sheet entitled Labor" like all labor
taking organs generously intersperses its silly lauda
tions of little Walsh and Wheeler with loud de
nuncatUn of the copper corporations and the sOcalec
copper barons of Montana. But that is inevitable
smoke screen of the Fakir. Without that cloak thi
so-called organ of labor would stand revealed in it
nudity as the Faldr and the hypocrite which it un
doubtedly is.
Through long and bitter years of experience w
know something of how much toll, anxiety and expens
it takes TO turn out weekly newspaper of very linn
tied circulation and we wonder how on earth some
thing like hundred thousand copies per week of thi
ardent champion of the tOilers called LABOR" cal
be freely circulated in this distant and rugged stat
of Montana. 1t is safe to that that drain o.
the meager treasury of the legitimate organized Ia
Dor movement of America would be serious financia
hahulcap IL not an actual cause OF bankruptcy. w
justified then In asking from what source doe
this amount of money thus expended in Gil
culating this false labor paper from? Certain
y not from the Golfers of labor, firstly because abo
cause the election any politician in America is nc
now and never can be direct or legitimate labo
problem. The thought to US, however that ir
asmuch as Senator Walsh and Wheeler have establish
ed for themselves unenviabe reputation as inves
ugators and nqusitors they might with propriety d
vert little of their talents in an effort to aseertai
II the Standard Oil, Pierpont Morgan Wall Street an
other corporations are the real owners and d;striI
utors of that sheet called ~LABOR" and if so why
effort has been made the part of the investigator
committee at Washington to prevent this wholesal
attempt at political corruption and moral debasemen
by the free distribution of captalistic sheet whc
aims to keep in perpetual office at Washington, D.
such individuals as Walsh and Wheeler
