LABOR MUST SUPPORT REPUBLICAN NOMINEE

Marton, O.—Labor must support the Republican nominee this year in the view of T. V. O’Connor of Buffalo, president of the International Longshoremen’s Association, and a leading factor in the councils of American labor organizations. Mr. O’Connor made his assertion on leaving a conference with Senator Warren G. Harding at the Harding home here recently. He told Senator Harding that he is going to support him and declared that it is plain that labor should get behind the Republican party this year, because if the Democratic party should win the government would be turned over to the control of the South, which he declared is unfriendly to labor. “I am for Senator Harding because I believe a change of administration absolutely necessary to restore confidence in this country,” said O’Connor. "I know Senator Harding as a real man from whom labor will always get a square deal without any blare of trumpets or brass band.”
