KERN'S TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL M, RALSTON

•RYAN WIRES < SENATOR THAT HE IS COMINAfc TO INDIANA TO SPEAK FOR RALSTON. MR. BEVERIDGE’S PEANUTS Hl* Silly, False Charges Are Arousing th* Disgust of Sensible Citizens. Th* peanut methods that are being resorted to by Mr. Beveridge in his attack* on Mr. Ralston were handled Without gloves by Senator John \Y. Kern in a speech at Lebanon, the home of the Democratic nominee the other night. The attempt to create the impression that Ralston would be any man's tool or puppet if elected

KERN LAUDS RALSTON.

probably caused the senator to speak with more feeling than he usually shows in assailing political opponents. That this cheap trick of Beveridge In resorting to petty personalities will react is already apparent In thqspeech of Senator Kern and in th* attitude of William Jennings Bryan, a warm personal friend of Ralston who ha? wired Senator Kern that he is com log Into Indiana to help his old friend and loyal supporter Samuel M. Rais ton. His telegram follows: “Mr. Bryan*s campaign speaking an ■•gements include three days’ tour of Indiana about third week in October. Me desires to place Indiana in the Wilson and Marshall column and Is especially interested in the election ol Mr. Ralston, and the entire Indiana Democratic ticket.” In hi* speech at Lebanon Senator Kern said:

“It 1b always pleasing to me to meet and greet the good people of the coun ty of Boone,- said Mr. Kern, “but it to especially a pleasure this year be «ause you have furnished to the Demo oracy Of Indiana its splendid oandldat* for governor in the person of Samuel M. Ralston. I shall waste little tims In this presenoe in speaking in eulogistic phrase of the fine qualities of the head and heart possessed by your distinguished neighbor and friend, foi •very man, woman and child in Lebanon is ready to testify whenever sailed upon that in every relation o| Use —in the heme circle, in his office hi court, in church, in society, as well as in the political arena, he is on* •f God’s own noblemen.” \ v Mr. Kern recalled when he first last Mr. Ralston, soon after the latter eame to Lebanon as a young man, Mr Ralston was full of determination then to make an honest effort to succeed and, seeing that he was a young mac of high ideals, Mr. Kerri said he en oeuraged him in his efforts. “He dis closed qualities then,” said the speak or, “that attracted me to him and aroused in me a great personal Interest in his career. The friendship formed that day has grown closer and more intimate down to the present hour. Since then I have seen him in his own home and in mine; I have ob served him in court many times in the trial of causes, and in his office adiis lng his clients, I have hearHl his voice •n the stump in many campaigns, and •at by his side in many councils. “A Man of Honor.” "Am a result I to recog Bise him as a man of honor, of clear personid character, possessing all the attributes and characteristics of a typical Christian gentleman and of an Ideal progressive American patriot. T have dome to love him as a brother. No more tndepondsat fearless man has Mitered the political lists la Indiana to a quarter of a oontury, sad this

Independence and fearlessness, gather with Ms high personal character and hla unselfish party servic*. brought to him the nomination for the high office of governor by the unanimous vote of more than one thousand live hundred of the best Democrats on earth, who composed the last Democratic state convention. * “If all the bosses on earth had opposed him, the result wOuld have been the same, for the great masses of the Democratic party In Indiana, from the lake to the river, had determined that the man who by reason of right living, good citizenship and long and distinguished party service, had earned the right to he governor of Indiana was Sam Ralston, and were prepared to sweep before them every possible opposition that might arise in any quarter." Not a Creature of the Bosses. ■When Mr. Ralston becomes governor of Indiana,” Mr. Kern continued, * “and brings to the discharge of the duties of that office the great qualities of head and heart which you know him to posessess, how contemptible will seem the cheap, disgraceful campaign falsehood of Beveridge and a few of his followers that Ralston in the candidate and creature of the bosses You need no information of the fa’sity of the charge, but when by his splendid admiration he gives the lie to the charge, the brazen hypocrites who Invented and peddled the slander will merit and receive the contempt of all good people, and especially of those who may have been deceived by these false and unfounded accusations. It Is bad enough for any man to peddle falsehoods, but inexcusable and aetroclous In a man who Insists upon having hi* meetings opened with prayer, and who leads in singing ‘Onward, Christian Soldiers,’ to the tune T Won’t Go Home Till Morning.’ '* The attacks of Beveridge, the most dictators! would-be boss that Indiana politics have ever known has aroused the people of Lebanon regardless of politics and the senator’s tribute to their fellow citizen was received with the greatest enthusiasm. In this connection the Rev. O. A. Carmichael, pastor of the First Presbyterian church recently said: “I think no one who knows Mr. Ralston could doubt his independent character * * If I were given a boss’s collar and told to find in Indiana a neck that it would fit, the law office i door at the head of the stairs in the Pioneer building (Ralston’s ofiice) would be the last place at which 1 should knock.

“There are other questions touch lng the higher life of the people more important than questions of state policy or questions of tariff. There is not a movement touching that Mgher life as it affects the public schools, the sanctity of the home, the efficiency of the church, the upbuilding of the Individual with which he ia not in the fullest and most enthuslastioal sympathy. We have played with some great moral questions Id tihls state; made issues of them when they seemed to furnish ’political oapital and have dropped them when political expediency dictated. When the people of the commonwealth awake, as awake they will, to the call of conscience and through their chosen representatives in the legislature demand an advance along the lines that shall conserve the home and the individual, if Mr. Ralston is in the governor’s chair that movement will find in him a staunch and loyal champion.”

Friend of the Schools. Another feature of Beveridge’s campaign of petty personal abuse is his assumption that hi* Third Term party is the ordained custodians of the public schools. Mr. Ralston has held no office hut that of school trustee in his home town and he is known among his neighbors as one of the most ardent friends of the schools. During his race for the nomination the school teachers of Lebanon, mostly women, took deep personal interest in hit success and were in the open, because of his well known attitude toward ths obligations of the state toward the schools and the teachers. Superintendent H. G. Brown, county superintendent and a Republican, said: “I should like to see Mr. Ralston governor of Indiana, because I beliete that in such a position his splendid intellectual ability, high moral character and his big, generous heart will render him a blessing to our entire state. “Especially would his election be a blessing to our public school system. During the three years he served as president of the Lebanon school board he took an active interest In the schools and the teachers and the pupils. He always favored every progressive measure and gave the school affairs the same c&reful thought and attention that has made him such a successful member of his profession. At the close of his term as a member ©f the board every teacher and school official believed him to be his friend."

THIRD TERMER'S JOKE ON LABOR

Brandeis Shows Right to Orgaoize is Not Recognized. THE PLATFORM IS SILENT. Noted Lawyer Exposes the Flimsiness of Promises Made to Workingmen by Perkins and His Candidate, Who Stands For Private Monopoly.

“The new party pledges Itself, to social and industrial justice and specifically to ’work unceasingly for effective legislation looking to the prevention of occupational diseases, overwork. Invol untary unemployment and other in furious effects incident to modern In dustry, * * * p ut nowhere in that long and comprehensive platform • * * can there be fpund one word approving the fundamental right of labor to organize or even recognizing this right without which all other grants and concessions f6r improvement of the condition of the working-! man are futile The platform promises social and industrial justice, but does not promise industrial democracy The Justice which it offers is that which the benevolent anti wise corporation is proue to administer through its welfare department There is no promise of that justice which free American workingmen are striving to secure for themselves through organization In deed, the industrial policy advocated by the uew party would result in the denial of labor's right to organize. “The uew party stands for the per l>etuntion and extension of private monopoly in industry—that private monopoly from which the few have ever profited at the expense of the many and for the dethronement of which the people have, in the past, fought so many valiant battles That cursed product of despotism, the uew party, proposes to domesticate in our republic, proclaiming. We do not fear commercial power.’ Certainly organized labor has had experience with the great trusts which should teach all men that commercial power may be so great that it is the part of wisdom to fear it.” The above declaration was made by Louis D. Brandeis before the conven tion of the American Federation of Labor. Massachusetts state branch, at Fitchburg, Sept 18. Of Supreme Importance. He urges a careful study of the new party platform, particularly its effect upon labor, noting not only WHAT IT CONTAINS, but WHAT IT OMITS, adding. “When yon make that exami nation you Will find that there is a significant omission and that this skillfully devised platform TAKES FROM LABOR MORE THAN IT GIVES.” Labor Record of Trusts. Mr. Brandeis then lays bare the labor record of the trusts, declaring that trusts—the steel trust, the stig ar trust the beef trust, the tobacco trust, the smelter trust and a whole troop of lesser trusts—have made the extermination of organized labor from their factories the very foundation stone of their labor policy. The abili ty to defeat labor's right to combine seems to have been regarded by the trust magnates as a proper test of the efficiency of their capitalistic combination.”

Mr. Brandeis shows that in 181)9, during the Colorado smelters' strike, the American Smelting and Refining company closed its mills where the strikers had been employed and trans ferred the work to other mills, thus breaking the strike. The United States Steel corporation had similar success in 1901 with the Amalgamated Assn elation of Iron, and Steel Workers Had the association t>eeD dealing with competing employers the result would have been different The United States Steel trust was prompt in introducing this plan. June 17, 1901. six weeks after it began its operation, its execu tive committee passed this vote, which was offered by Charles Steele, a part ner of George W Perkins In the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co.: “That we are unalterably opposed to any extension of unioD inbor and ad vise subsidiary companies to take firm position when these questions come up and say that they are not going to rec ognize It—that Is. any extension of un ion in mills where they do not now exist.”

Union Men Not Wanted.

The result was that the balk of American union laboring men In the iron and steel industry were made to understand that they were not wanted at the works of the United States Steel corporation Places once filled by American laborers loyal to their union were given to others, and. as the Stan ley committee found. “Hordes of la borers from southern Europe pointed into the United States.” * * » Hence about 80 per cent of the un skilled laborers in the iron and steel business are foreigners of these classes, the profits going to the steel corpora tlon. Mr Brandeis declared that “the Immediate and continuing result of the steel trust’s triumph over organ ized labor has been an extensive svs tem of espionage and repression.’’

There has been no disturbance of business Interests during this presiden tial campaign Why? Confidence in the Integrity of the Democratic noml neea and right purposes of the party.

Will You Spend ONE DOLLAR to Elect Wilson President? How deep is your conviction that this government ought to be in new hands, in clean hands? How much are you in favor of a clean slate from Wilson and Marshall clear down the line to the very smallest offices in your locality? The Democratic National Committee has every reason to believe that every' progressive voter is willing to spend a dollar to elect Wilson and Marshall and their ticket. r anx i oa s to contribute to the Wilson Campaign Pond in amounts of $2, $5, $lO and S2O. To such we make our appeal. To such we must look for victory.

Time An Important Factor This is another case where time is money. The enemy have their funds supplied instantly bv the Interests. 1 7 We have only a few days and contributions to be effective must be received at once. There is no question of the money of the People being able to defeat the money of the Trusts. Because it is greater even in volume and will be used in straightforward telling ways. But to be effective it must be received and used within the next few days. Quick action is absolutely necessary. Let us have your contribution or the list you make up from your friends and co-workers today if possible, tomorrow sure. How Your Money Will Be Spent Woodrow Wilson, our standard bearer, has never had the time or disposition to talk about himsejf. He has never used spectacular methods to place himseif In the spotlight. His greatest work has been done without ostentation, in the most expeditious, dignified manner. The great mass of voters do not know what a really great man Wilson is. They do not know all he has done. They do not understand all the features of bis platform We must tell them. To educate this great nation of voters, especially the clear thinking Independent Democrats, Republicans and Progressives who choose their leader on his merits, means the expenditure of a vast amount of money. We propose to use your in just this way judiciously, and without a penny frittered away for an unnecessary item. We know you have confidence we will do this thing and successfully. Why the Dollar Counts * In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of Representative Government and Popular Government. In Representative Government onlv a part of the people have influence those with no political faith, who spend fortunes in any direction where their own ends are farthered for money. K In Popular Government all the people have influence, because their executives and legislators do not dare to’ thwart the expressed will of the people. Representative Government, as ever, this year is being supported by the money of the Interests. It is being spent lavishly to give the voters a wrong impression of Wilson. Popular Government, this year, to win, most depend on the truth being told about VV ilson. We must publish his record end platform broadcast so that no one can controvert it. Your sl, your 12. your $5, your $lO or S2O will count and ount to win if spent in this "work.
