But in spite of every effort they can not overcome the fact that the ablest leaders or the organized labor movement are opposing Taft, and that nine-tenths of the affiliated trades unions have emphatically en dorsed the political program of the Federation. Having treated the just demands of organized labor with scorn and con tempt, the political machine back of Judge Taft is now moving heaven and earth to convince organized labor that Taft is a friend to unions. But men like James VanCIeave, Charles W. Post and David M. Parry are not often deceived in taeir sizing up of the men they support- And VanCIeave, Post and Parry the arch enemies of unionism are working tooth and toenail for Taft's election. I? Taft suits these union haters, how can he suit men who take a pride in their unionism and 'satisfaction in having a part of the great work for humanity that trades unionism is doing? Taft, who is now touted as the friend of labor; Taft, who is the preferred candidate of VanCIeave, Post and Parry; Taft, who is the nominee of the convention that treated the just demands of organized li.bor with contempt this is the same Taft who sent Frank Phelan to jail on the testimony of a hired spy; the same Taft that called Chief Arthur and Grand Master Sargent "conspira tors.' The same Taft who fined the Cincinnati bricklayers for daring to stand by their friends and rebuke their enemies. Taft a friend of labor? "Can a man gather grapes of thorns or figs from thistles? Can a master serve two masters? The Taft who meets the require ments of the VanCleaves, the. Posts and the Parrys lacks a whole lot of meeting the requirements of union men who think more of their union ism and their rights as citizens than they do of party. THE DIFFERENCE. Tripp, S. D., September 29 Charles W. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebr.: Please ask the democrats of Lincoln to take my pictures down while Mr. Taft is n town. Have them show him every possible courtesy. "W. J. BRYAN." The above is a telegram received in Lincoln last Tuesday, and immediately acted upon by the democrats of this city. The Wageworker prints this tele gram for the purpose of showing the difference between a big, broad- ciinJed, courteous gentleman, and a lot of narrow-browed, thin-mmded lartisans. Mr. Bryan asks the democrats of his home town to show his rival every courtesy. The republican managers of Mr. ryan's home town seized the first opportunity to insult Sir. Bryan and his supporters. Mr. Bryan asks the democrats of his home town to take down his pic- ure when Mr. Taft comes to Lincoln. The republican managers flaunted huge Taft banner in the faces of Sir. Bryan and his friends on the date that Mr. Bryan was officially notified of his nomination. No one expected Mr. Bryan capa ble of doing anything else. But no one who is acquainted with the mental calibre of the men who are managing the republican cam paign from Lincoln expects them to Le ashamed of their boorishness. In this contrast Mr. Bryan does uot loom larger for the simple rea son that he is already the biggest man in this republic. But the re publican managers have dwindled to such infinitesimal prpoortions that a microscope capable of magnifying million diameters could scarce make more than political fiyspecks of them. The Sherman anti-trust law was designed to prevent the encroach-1 ments of huge aggregations of capital. It has never been used for that pur pose. It was not designed to limit aggregations of men who sought only the good of humanity. Its only en forcement has been against trades unions. Mr. Union Man, how would you like to have your liberty dependent upon the testimony of a hired spy. Judge Taft accepted that kind of testimony end sent a union man to jail for' six months for the crime of trying, to better the conditions of himself and his fellow-workers. UNAVAILING EFFORTS. The efforts of the republican man agers to make out that Judge Taft is friend of organized labor would be laughable were they not so pitiful. By scraping the country with a fine- toothed comb they have been able to secure for Judge Taft the support of two labor papers of any conse quence. One of these Is run by an ex-sporting editor who was fired for using his position to line his pockets. The olher is merely an echo of the Erst. They lay especial stress upon the fact that the official organ of the Bakery and Confectioners Interna- tion Union has notified all local that the organization does not sup port the political program of the American Federation of Labor. But they conveniently forget to mention that this official organ is under in struct ions to support the socialist candidates. They have managed to get interviews from a few alleged labor leaders who are better partisan When organized labor was trying tc defeat its arch enemy. Representa tive Littlefield of Maine, Taft went into Littlefield's district and boosted for him. The Chicago Record-Herald, republican organ, headed Taffs speech: "Taft Bids Defiance to Organized Labor." What would yon give to hear a joint debate between Bryan and Taft on such questions as trial by jury in contempt cases, bank guaranty, direct election of senators, campaign publ icity and restraint of predatory- corporations? The street railway men of Cin cinnati are not organized. The Cin cinnati street railways are owned by Charles Taft, brother of William H. laft. Opposition to organization seems inbred in the Taft family. Of course it is nnwlse to guarantee the wage-earners that their little sav ings bank deposits shall be kept safe. But it is the acme of wisdom to guarantee the tariff-fed trusts a "fair margin of profit." VanCIeave or Gompers? Post or Mitchell? Parry or Morrison? Bryan or Taft? Choose ye this day whom ye will serve! Alway the Best At Armstronsrs '' This statement has be come axiomatic with the clothes buyers of this sec tion. "If it's from Arm strongs it is the best for the money." ' You hear it every day because its truth is daily demonstrated. Always The Best For instance the loyal union man wants clothing with the label and he wants and is entitled to the best for the money. That's why we offer him the Brock line of union made clothing not only the best for the money, but the best in the union made clothing line. We say to union men who want the best, "Buy Brock Clothes!" You'll get style, looks and quality, and you will not pay a penny more than such vfrtures are worth to you. "H7 Much. SnaMPay?" That is up to you. Decide what amount you can in vest, and we will give you the full value of your money. Strong values in suits from $10 to $40 with plenty of prices in between. With The Label Hats, caps, shirts, work clothes, etc. We offer un excelled lines from which to select. We appreciate the trade and friendship of union men. ARM ST RO CLOTHING NO GO. Good Cloth Merchants You who marched so cockiiy and solidly on Labor Day ought to have gumption enough to vote the sam? way on election day. The union man who votes for Van Cleave's man endorses VanCIeave. There is no escape from this logical deduction. an order restraining union men from doing certain things. Then the cor poration hires a spy to testify that the union men have disobeyed the injunction. Then the judge sends the union men to jail on the testi mony of the spy. Thus the union men are gotten out of the way of the corporation. And Judge Taft. who lent himself that sort of thing, now poses as the friend of organized labor. It is to laugh! The "heir apparent" will have mighty little hair apparent when he gets through , with this fight. Railroad men who read Sherman's record are not likely to endorse it. Judge Taft said he resembled a bear. Yes, a Teddy bear. A corporation gets a judge to issue A lot of red fire accompanied "In junction Bill" during his visit in Lin coln. . His attempt to win the presi dency will end like the red fire burned in Lincoln in smoke. kbor vote is a ms'th. Under what flag will you fight? "VanCleave's or the American Federation of Labor, held aloft by its president, Samuel Gomp ers ? Worcester Labor News. In the meanwhile you should not forget that Buck's stoves and ranges are made" by a firm that is an enemy of organized labor. Under which flag, Mr. Union Man? The bead of the Manufacturers' As sociation, VanCIeave, declares the THEY CALL US A TRUST. THE I RUST IS SO FORMED THAT YOU CANT BREAK INTO IT WITH AN AXE. WITH THE LABOR ORGAN IZATION IT FINDS NONE TOO LOWLY IN ITS RANKS, AND WE WELCOME TO OUR ORDER MEN OF EVERY TRADE, OF EVERY RACE AND CLIME. TRADE UNIONS STRIVE FOR MORE OF THE PROD UCTS OF THEIR LABOR MORE, MORE, MORE, AND WHEN THEY HAVE ACHIEVED THAT THEY WILL STILL SEEK MORE. SAM UEL GOMPERS.
