Mr. Jewett Is a public man with progressive Ideas, loyal to home Interests and a friend to the laborer, as his past record will show. For many years he has been much interested In the establishment of the State Fair at Wichita. To this end he has labored In season and out.

Now we do not propose to say that all politicians who do not advocate the cause of labor unions are political shysters and tricksters, but we do say that mahy usurp the power vested in their office; that many fail to represent their constituency. Right here is where the trades unions have cause for grievance. We stand for the Improvement and enforcement cf.the law. Many platforms are before the electorate for its) consideration, and these platforms and manner of their fulfillment should have the most careful consideration.

You may depend on it that, the average union laborer will cast his vote against "law by Injunction" except where there Is no other remedy at law. The use of the Injunction in labor disputes has caused more trouble than any other one thing. Those who anticipated a division among the members of organized labor on account of the attitude of Samuel Gompers In the present campaign, are sadly mistakken. His action has been endorsed by the American Federation of Labor. President Gompers Is too big and brainy to make statements and promises that he cannot fulfill.
