A LETTER

Columbus, Ohio In the casting Of
ballots in the November election, the
members Of organized labor should
consider carefully the records and
past performances of the candidates
for governor.
The labor record Of Governor Mar
tin T. Davey is well known to every
trade unionist in this tate. Labor trou-
bles during the past two years have
been many, but in no instance have
troops been called out in any contro-
versy.
No less than 16 labor bills or bills of
interest to labor, passed BY the leg
islatme during the DIST general as
senbly, have been approved By Gov
elnor Dayey.
The Ohio State Federation Of Labor
announces: During his term Of office
Governor Martin l. Davey has exhib-
tied a friendly attitude toward organ
ized labor, and has shown a desire
10 cooperate with the representatives
of labor during the sessions Of the
general assembly
Governor Davey's action in in
structing the aid for the aged division
to increase the average payment for
he aged under the Ohio law was a
great humanitarian act and in accord
With the ideas Of the Ohio State Fed
eration of Labor and Fraternal Order
If Eagles, responsible for the enact
nent Of the law
20 support The present friendly gov
rnor IS to give him vote Of CON
idence to carry on for labor during
he next two years IN the same splen-
did manner as in the past

LABOR TEMPLE
Displays Roosevelt Dayey

For the first time in the story of
the COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council, political posters of eandi-
dates have been displayed in the labor
temple or in the windows.
The reason for the privilege which
has been extended to President Roose-
Velt and Governor Davey in this cam
paign, is because both Of these men
have proven beyond a doubt that they
are friends Of the laboring class, both
organized and unorganized. No mat
ter what other interests throughout
the state and nation think Of these
two outstanding men, labor knows
what they have done for them.
The Trades and Labor Council Of
Hamilton did the wise act when they
allowed posters Of their friends to be
placed IN the windows Of the temple.
That only real gratitude and appre-
citation for favors thus far received.

OTHERS VIEWS
McDONALD'S PROPOSALS
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
DR.. McDonald's anti-sales tax guber-
material platform seems to cause a
number of North Carolina newspapers
to lie awake at night, judging by the
oft repeated wheeze, where Will He
Get the Money
Now, I think this entirely uncalled
for, because I remember mighty well
when candidate Ehringhaus, less than
four short years ago, was denouncing
the sales tax in the plainest kind of
good English, all the way from
Murphy to Manteo. He assaulted it
with rights and lefts, upper cuts and
body blows which were simply fierce.
The depression was on in full blast,
the fifteen cents for schools was to
come off the land, and as best I can
remember, not one of these distressed
newspapers asked then a single ques-
ton about where he was going to get
the money Their slumber was quiet
and peaceful, like that of an infant
But look now, and why this dreadful
restlessness? Did these papers know
then shift of position would come
in due time? Evidently they did. And
there would be no insomnia now if
they could bring themselves to the
point Of believing that the shift would
come on the part of DR.. Mcdonald, if
elected.

The entire amount of losses charged
off by both commercial and industrial
banks in North Carolina from 1882
through 1895 amounted to $9,411,O 68,
but all of this accumulated prior to
March 4, 1888, the statement said.
con account of conditions which ex-
listed prior to March 4, 1888, the COM
mercial banks showed large losses in
1882 and 1885, but good profits in 1884
and 1885," the statement continues.
"On account of the same conditions,
the industrial banks showed a very
small profit for the years 1882, 1888
and 1884, but their profits in 1885 were
very good.

'The commercial banks made a pro-
fit of 1912 per cent in 1884 on their

ANSWERS

1. On the east side of the Blue
Ridge all able bodied men between
Is and IS years of age were required
to work six days. Those who lived On
the west side of the mountains were
required to work ten days.
2. It was a peculiar shake of the
hand employed by candidates, and
was called by the Edgecombe farm
ers the "electioneering shake DR..
jeremiah Battle in an article in the
University Magazine in 1861, told of
the use Of this "electioneering shake"
in his county. 1t did not become so
popular until it was backed up by a
portion of brandy. The use of whisky
in elections became so expensive that
the Edgecombe candidates in 1912 got
together "and agreed to renounce this
expensive and dangerous mode of
electioneering."
3. A married man or woman may
get married again if their wife or
husband has been absent for seven

ledge of their having been alive with

4. Governor Bragg recommended a

for voting for a member of the State
senate. David F. Caldwell of Guilford
opposed the amendment, giving as his
reason that it would destroy 'the dis
tinction between the two branches of
the legislature. by electing all the
members of the assembly at the same
time for the same period, and by the
same electors"
5. The penalty for the willful burn
ing of a church, meeting house or

FIRST WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The Germans
took the village of Vaux on the Yer
dun front at terrific cost, and won
Malancourt. Another attack was de-
livered against that portion of the
Avocourt wood held by the French
but here the barrier-fire and machine
guns held the Germans.
In the six weeks since the Germans
began the attack at Verdun, they had
gained only three miles on a front
of not much more than twenty-five.
BY contrast, in the same period of
time on the Russian front the previ-
Gus autumn, they had advanced 100
miles from the Duanjec, had recap
tured Przemysl and were on the eve
of reoccupying Lemberg.
Disappointed now in a sharp ad-
vance, the Germans, instead of going
back into seige warfare, were still
using the method of continued bat
tering.
The principle of wastage, which had
obtained along the whole front for
nearly year and half, was concen-
trated on a small portion of the line.'
