By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS)- Now that the
national political campaign is about
at an end and the ballots will be cast,
counted and the result known within
a few days, it seems timely that the
readers Of the labor press be made
acquainted with my impelling motives
since first began to discuss politics
in the latter part Of August.

found many fine, splendid men and
women around the headquarters, but
it did not take long to ascertain that
they had little or nothing to say about
major politics, and it did not take
them long also to learn that fact.
A political party o. any other
movement cannot be fairly gauged
and Judged on any one single fact.
It's whole makeup, aims, objects, pur-
poses and leadership must be taken
into consideration. On that basis !
came to the conclusion that the re-
! publican party under its present
leadership and detectives would not
do, and during the last several weeks
| have been endeavoring to give to
the readers Of the labor press my inn
pressions gained right here at the
holy Of holes of the national re-
publican party.
Open Shop" Bureau Not Denied
The thing that stands out like q
sore thumb in reference to the repub-
lican national headquarters in Chicago
at this time is the big open shop
bureau here at 2o8 West Washington
street. The fact that that bureau
has been established by the repub-
lican national committee and that the
bureau has been for weeks urging en-
ployers throughout the United States
to bludgeon their employees into vot-
ing for Landon and Knox ought to be
enough to convince any fair minded
person that Lanaon and Knox shoulc
he defeated
ILNs exposed this open shop bu-
reau September and the repub-
Gcan national committee has not
dared to enter a denial. Copies ot
ILNs release sheets We're mailed tc
leaders at the G. O. z. G. H. O., il
order that it might be known to then
that ILNS had released such a story
but there has not been even a whis.
per out Of any Of them.
Later release sheets in which that
charge and other charges have beer
made have been placed in the hands
Of all of the important men at the
republican national headquarters anc
Of Governor Landon, and not one o
them dares to attempt to refute th'
charges.

Landon Wall Street Puppet

The same gang that in past cam
paigns has sold the party down the
river is still in control The middle
states are in hook to Wall street.
Landon is not his own master He is
puppet candidate of the plunder
bund
The Wall street crowd and its
western allies have driven from s.
100000 to 100000 common folk
from the republican party, but the
Bourbon gang has learned nothing.
There is a determination to rule or
ruin Wall street has the upper hand
in the present campaign because John
Hamilton and Alf Landon needed
big campaign fund. They went to
Wall street and placed the party in
hook to get that fund. Landon will
have to make good to Wall street re
gardless of the interests Of the whole
American people in the dire event
Landon ever occupies the White
House.
Republican Party Changed
The republican party of today is
not the party that was founded by
Abraham Lincoln, under whom my
father served as a soldier and my
mother and her mother served as
army nurses. This hurts me Just as
lit hurts thousands upon thousands Of
other persons similarly situated. We
have been betrayed not just this one
time, but many times before. 1t is
time we did something about it in
such a crushing fashion as to be a
lesson for all time

CONVENTION
Is Drafted to Aid Seamen
In Ports

Geneva.-A draft of a convention,
or international treaty, prescribing a
series of measures designed to pro-
/ mote the welfare of seamen in ports,
has been prepared by the International
Labor Office and will be submitted to
the special maritime session of the
international Labor Conference here.
The session opened on October 6.
Among the measures the draft pre-
lscribes are the creation, in important
ports, of seamen's welfare organiza-
tions; the regulation, in port areas,
/ of the sale of Intoxicating liquors, and
Of the employment of young persons in
cafes; the regulation of the fencing
of docks, and provision of adequate
| lighting and signposts for docks and
approaches; the supervision of cafes,
and, if necessary, of hotels, taverns
and lodging houses.
Other measures call for the safe
guarding of the health of seamen; the
provision of facilities enabling sea-
men, while in foreign ports, to de-
post or remit wages homes, and the
establishment of system whereby
seaman can, if he wishes, at the time
Of signing on or during voyage allot
a portion of his wages for remittance
at regular intervals to his dependents.
| Nearly every important maritime
nation in the world is represented at
the conference, and, judging from re-
plies to QUESTIONABLE sent out by
the International Labor Office, the
great majority of them favor some
form of international regulations for
the promotion Of seamen's welfare.

The voters were especially urged to write in the name of Mrs. Lydia Ayotte of this city for the post of congressman in the fifth district. Mrs. Ayotte is the union partys write in" candidate in the fifth and has been assured of great support throughout the district.
 George L. Ayotte, local town chairman of the union party, called the meeting to order at ? o'clock. Among the speakers were T. J.

 Instructions on how to write in Mrs. Ayotte's name were given. When the union party lever is down the voters must push up the con- gressional button. This releases the slide away up at the top of the ma chine. By pushing this slide back a slip of paper is exposed and 1t is on this paper that Mrs. Ayotte's name must be written in order to give her q vote.

FARLEY REFERENCE
TO LANDON HURTS
He Called Kansas c.. O. P.
Possibility ''Prairie State
Nonenity"
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, May 3O.-Postmaster
General James A. Farley's ears must
burn as Democratic politicians criti-
cize, in strict confidence, his recent
reference to Gov. ALT M. Landon as a
Prairie State nonentity.
Calling the governor nonentity
might not have been SO bad.
The implication, however, was that
any one who lives in the prairie state
region is ipso facto, a nonenty.
Anyway, that is the Interpretation
which Republican spokesman in Con-
gress are placing upon the P. M. G.'s
remark, and Democrats are conscious
that it is not an Interpretation cal
culated to be at all pleasing to Prairie
State voters.
Maybe Farley intended his slur to
apply only to Kansas, but Kansas
isn't the only prairie state by any
means. Eight or ten of them are SO
describable and Democratic candi-
dates, from President Roosevelt on
down, may need all of them on cleo
ton day.
TOO EASTERN?
Moreover, as the Democrats see it,
the Republicans themselves could not
have chosen a more DemOcratically
damaging individual than Farley to
speak slightingly of the prairies.
Democratic politicians all along
have been uneaSily aware that the p.
Nj. G. as chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, is too emphati-
ca'lv eastern. And he represents a
| President who virtually is a Manhat-
tan suburbanite. They know, too, that
many New York City folk are regard
ed in the West as ignorant of the fact
that there is any United States be-
| yond the Hudson river
Now it is implied by Farley that
this guess is correct-the adniniStra-
ton does consider the prairies of no
consequence.
FOOLISH
Of course, it is foolish to say that
the administration looks down on the
prairie states; it really is very re-
| spectful of the West.
Nevertheless( the p M. c. gave Of
tense.
Newspaper comment and congress
sional speeches prove it.
But the Republicans are delighted.
| They expect it to make plenty of
votes for them-perhaps not enough
to win with, but enough to Zee very
helpful
And the cream of it is that it was
q Democratic contribution.
AIDED LANDON
Another thing:
Farley is regarded as having prac-
tically cinched Landon's nomination
at Cleveland.
He recognized, in effect, that the
Kansas governor is the Republican
candidate whom the Rooseveltians
fear. Farley did him more good than
! could have been done by any amount
of pro-Landon propaganda.
