Bryan is defeated, to have the dem
ocracy say, ‘if Haskell had got out
of the way, Bryan would have been
elected.’ I am catching a fourth ward
politician in the presidential chair

Haskell, in a speech delivered in

tesponsible with Hearst. for the
charges, in order to make them do
fondants also. Ho specified F.ennls

United States senator in the present
campaign, as responsible for the
fight made on him.

Gompers Calls on Labor to Standby Friends
and Oppose Enemies in This Campaign
Issues of This Campaign
More Serious Than Have
Ever Been Presented
Labor Leader Attacks
Taf*.
WASHINGTON, D. C.— Declaring
that “labor is not partisan,’ that it
is neither republican nor democratic,
and that the issuies of the political
campaign are more serious than have
ever been presented, not excepting
chattel slavery, Samuel Uompers, in
an editorial in the American Federa
tlonist, out today, calls upon work
ers’ to stand by their friends and
oppose enemies, whether they be
candidates for president, congress or
other offices, executive, legislative or
judicial.
Several thousand words In length
(he editorial appears to be Mr Gom
pers’ contribution to the political
•statements'" which have checkered
the political history of the past
week.
President Koosevelt is told that he
is mistaken when he says that "no
responsible organisation would hesi
tate to condemn the abures against
which Judge Taft s Injunctions were
aimed,” and informed that the con
trary is the fact.
Mr. Taft is attacked for his posi
tion as regards labAr and the Van
Cleave-Bucks Stove and Range in
junction is termed an invasion ot
the rights of free speech, “based up
on the precedents furnished by Judge
Taft's injunctions.”
TAFT IS
ATTACKED.
Mr. Gompers says: ’’Mr Taft has
never dons other than uphold and
defend Injunction abuses. He has
sever In any public utterance inti
mated that he w©uld favor the en
actment of labor measures to limit
and define ’he InJuirHon power. Un
til he does, It will not he of much
avail for President Roosevelt to say
pleasant thing* about him to the
Wage workers.
"The repJ»'loan party and It* can
didate for president indorse the
abuse of the injunction process, and
anly promise to put a few patches on
ihe method of administering the
abuse.
The thing to which we especially
tall attcrtton In this Foraker matter
is that it is evident to anybody pos
►eased of discernment that Mr. For
alter may not he the only senator
who accepts trust retaine*'*.' If h»
were, it would hardly he possible for
Mm to ’deliVer The goods’ so success
lul v vear after year. It take* quit*
i number of senators to defeat the
will of the peopU, yet 'hey have
generally done It successfully."
