A plea to tho wbrkingmen of New
York state and of the United States,
members of trades unions especially,
to support tho candidacy of Governor
Wilson for president, Congressman
Sulzor for governor and John A.
Bensol for state engineer, was issued
yesterday by Secretary Edward I.
Hannah of the federated labor party
on behalf of tho following labor
leaders:
'Edward I. Hannah, president of
tho. federated central body, represent
ing tho central federated union;
Brooklyn central labor union, Essex
county trades council, united Hebrew
trades, trades and labor council of
Patterson, Hudson county central
labor union, John Kennedy, presi
dent of the brotherhood of butcher
workmen of America; Thomas E.
Lennpn, president of the safety engi
neers' union; M. T. Neyland, presi
dent of the central federated union;
John C. O'Brien of the harnessmak
ers' union, William Gallagher, safety
engineers; Alexander Kelso, Greater
New York carpenters' council;
Matthew A. McConville, safety engi
neers'; E. W. Edwards, web press
men's union; William H. Kelly, cop
persmiths; J. C. O'Donnell, interna
tional brotherhood of steam shovel
lers and dredgemen; Thomas J. Cur
tis, president of tunnel and subway
constructors' international union;
N. A. Schmid, secretary of upholster
ers; Joseph Healy, brotherhood of
painters; Frank Farrell, business
agent of tho Asphalt workers; Ed
ward Bradley, business agent of the
stone cutters; Michael Eastman,
Newspaper deliveries; Robert Grin
dell, dock builders.
Tho plea says: "Tho federated
labor party has looked into tho poli
tical situation and finds that labor
stands pat on tho question of sup
porting tho candidates whoso records
show that they have done something
for the advancement of tho labor in
terests in tho legislative assemblies.
"Wo find that Governor Wilson has
done more than any other governor
of tho state of Now Jersey in the way
of practical support of labor legisla
tion. Ho gave more consideration
to labor measures than any other
governor of tho state, and did more
for the enactment of labor laws than
any other executive head of tho state
of New Jersey. Ho has given a prac
tical demonstration of his friendli
ness for organized labor."
NOT A SnAM BATTLE
In his powerful appeal for con
certed democratic action, Mr. Bryan
Impressed on his great audience at
noon yesterday that they are not en
gaged in a sham battle. What is
needed, he declared, Is a complete
victory, and therefore ho urged upon
his auditors the necessity of not only
electing a man to go to the White
house, but of congressmen and other
officials who will stand by his side
and aid in the enactment of his poli
cies. If Mr. Wilson as president has
r,va democratic house and senate he
will succeed in undoing the wrongs
of republicanism and thus give the
people an equitable share of the na
tional prosperity. With his master
ful force and wonderful eloquence the
great commoner plead with his hear
ers to support the democratic ticket
in all its departments from president
down to the stte candidates, and at
the same time to administer a crush
ing blow to tho panic and poverty
predictions of tho opposition.
These words of Mr. Bryan im
pressed themselves deeply on his vast
audience, and approval was demon
strated in tho enthusiasm of the ap
plause. Indeed, the democratic spirit
was stimulated from the moment of
Mr. Bryan's arrival until his depar
ture. From tho indoor meeting to
tho great gathering on tho water
front, and to the other places in the
county where he stopped to spread
tho gospel of democracy, tho scenes
were similiar, proving beyond doubt
tho firm hold Mr. Bryan has on the
affections of the people.
If anything were required to clinch
. democratic victory in this county
credit would be duo this idol of the
party, for no ono can underestimate
the influence of his whirlwind sweep.
Wherever he goes the democratic fol
lowing increases, and he has done a
great service lor the party, not only
" in western Pennsylvania, but all
""through tho state. Democrats who
failed to hear his wonderful and
forceful speeches will read them to
day with enthusiastic interest.
From Pittsburgh Post, Oct. 23.
tion if both of its presidential candi
dates had visited this district in the
samo day.
William Jennings Bryan, candi
date for no office, but firm supporter
of democratic truths, was the guest
of the county, and during the few
hours he was in this section of the
state he made seven speeches, four
of which were in the Pittsburgh dis
trict. Breaking all records for attendance,
enthusiasm and progress made, the
meeting addressed by William Jen
nings Bryan at the Lyceum theater
yesterday noon mado history In
Allegheny county democratic politics.
The seating capacity of tho house,
over 4,000, was exhausted long be
force 12 o'clock, and when, after a
record run in automobiles from Brad
dock, the escorting party delivered
Mr. Bryan to the immense audience
at 12:30 o'clock every foot of stand
ing room was occupied and hundreds
stood at the entrance of the theater.
An overflow meeting had been ar
ranged on the Allegheny river front,
near Federal street and Duquesne
way, and here men prominent in the
county democratic organization spoke
to other thousands who were waiting
for an opportunity to see -and hear
Bryan.

WILSON LAUDS CHURCHES
A dispatch from Trenton, N. J.,
under date of October 23, says: In
the solemn atmosphere of a church,
apart from the noise of political
demonstration to which he has been
accustomed during the last two
months, Governor Woodrow Wilson
delivered a speech tonight. It was
virtually a sermon on the vlue of
church organization, and was the
principal address at the exercises
celebrating the 200th anniversary of
the founding of the First Presby
terian church of Trenton.
"Life without the standard of the
church;" said the governor, "is some
thing like a faltering quicksand. The
church is one of the many expressions
of tho permanent side of life. This
church, through its 200 years, has
witnessed tho birth and death of po
litical parties. It has seen every
thing change except the search for
God, and every community should
realize that the search fcr God should
take precedence over everything
else." ' ' r. '
