1. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-It must
be true that many good Republicans
look upon CLOS granite jawed John
L. LAWS as a potential American
Stain. Some may even think labor's
Nom Partisan League, l.-aded by
Louis, is out to "liquidate' all Re-
publican office holders.
Such partisans may be shocked
to learn that officials of that very
active political organization make
no bones about telling you that
there are Republican congressman
from Maines-of all states who
stand high with the league.
When the league campaigned for
Roosevelt and the closely-affiliat-
ed CLIO contributed half million
dollars to help finance the drive for
his reelection in 1886, it was be-
lieved to have formed definite
alliance with the Democratic party
for at least as long as Mr.. Roose-
welt continued to be the party's
leader.
But it seems that now the league
is following the old American Fed
Grafton of Labor policy of support
ing candidates, Democratic or Re-
publican, whom it regards as friend
ly to labor.
VICTORIES IN OHIO
League spokesman insist that it
has no sentimental attachment for
either major party. Their anony-
nous pat on the back for some OF
Names COP representative in
Congress was given as an illustra-
ton of the organizations nom
partisanship.
The league is now engaged in the
drive to expand "labor's sphere of
political influence in highly indus
trialized communities. The victor
les of candidates it supported in
city primaries In Akron and can
ton, Ohio, are being hailed as a
"harbinger of what will happen in
the 1888 congressional elections"
Judge G.. l.. Patterson, supported
by the Akron Labor League, won
the Democratic nomination for may
or by a vote of 1885 to total of
1857 votes for three other Demo-
cratic candidates. The Republican
primary give 11,796 votes to Mayor
Lee d. Schroy. pporters OF
Schroy are claiming, however, that
most of the 1887, anti-Patterson
Democratic voters in the primary
will cast their ballots for him in
the final election along with many
other citizens who are opposed to
the CLIO and its illegal sitdown
strike tactics"
