LABOR LEADER OUT FOR A. J. BEVERIDGE

William Dobson, secretary of the Bricklayers’ and Masons'” International Union of America, with headquarters in Indianapolis, is a Democrat who is out working for the Republican legislatiye ticket because he desires the return of 'Senator Beveridge to the senate. He says he is for Beveridge and that labor men can not afford to be otherwise. He declared: "I am a Democrat, but I am independent when it comes to voting for the man who makes good In the service of all the people. I like John Kern personally. I would be glad to see him promoted to office. But I am for Senator, Beveridge. The election of Mr. Kern or any other man to office against Senator Beveridge would mean In effect that the people intend to punish him for working in the people’s cause. I do not think we can- afford to permit Mr. Beveridge to be punished for doing right. I take it that there would be small encouragement for the honeßt and zealous public servant in such a result In the Indiana election this year. I am working for the election of the Republican legislative ticket. A Republican legislature will re-elect Senator Beveridge. A Democratic legislature would defeat him. I believe Senator Beveridge will be re-elected. The people are for him. The people will see to It that he gets a square deal."
