right off the bat to renewing
warfare on labor unions, which
declares, have supplanted law by
brickbats, revolvers and dynamite.
He pledges himself, If elected, to try
to secure the passage of a law
which will require the Incorporation
of the unions so the government
can have control over them. He fa
vors greater ' restrictions on Immi

should be employed. He regrets the
growing tendency to violate the Sab

Reyond that, he expresses no opin
