For President WILLIAM H. TAFT
ANTHONY COMSTOCK.
A strange man, a strong man, a man j
of heroic mold, is Anthony Comstock
of New York.
Whatever may be said of his meth
ods, the sincerity. of the man and his
fidelity to his mission cannot be con
tradicted.
At tremendous personal cost he has

single copies ,ONE CENT devoted his life to the suppression of
vicious literature.
Comstock began his career in 1873.
; The business of painting and distribut- j
lug obscene books and pictures at that
time was highly organized and flour
ishing. In a single campaign in New York he seized and destroyed the plates
of 169 vile books and pictures.
The venders of moral cancer then be
gan their work of misrepresentation
and slander of Comstock. They have
persisted ever since in their abuse and
ridicule. They resorted to personal
violence.
But Comstock has never flinched.
" He la as strong aa he la grentle. Hia reputation in simply spotless. In all the agitation of a heated campaign for the g-renteat office In he world, no one has ventured to Intimate a doubt of the absolute honesty of this man who has been before the country for a quarter of a century. Nor can any one sueeeasfully dlapute the simple proposition that in the whole history of the United States no one was ever named for the presidency who waa so fitted by nature, by training and by experience for the duties, dlg-ni-tles and responsibilities of that unique office CHARLES HOPKINS, Jn "The Independent."
For -President JAMES S. SHERMAN
"We certify to all the nreat electorate that when their votes In November shall have choaea James S. Sherman to be vice president of the United States, the senate will be sure of a presiding officer in character and competency worthy of the beat traditions of that sTreat deliberate body, and that which God forbid the sad eontimreney were to come which should for a fourth time call a vice president from New York: to the executive office, the interests of the whole country would be safe In good hands, and the great office of the presidency would suffer no decadence from the high standard of dignity and. honor and competency of which we are so Justly proud."

factories have increased their forces.
For its attack on James E. Watson,
t its recent meeling In Vincennes, the
State Federation of Labor was re
pudiated yesterday by three of the fore
most leaders ot railroad men's organizations in Indiana, who sent signed communications to an Indianapolis paper stating that the action of the Fed-
ration in regard to Watson and its
entrance into politics meets with the
earty condemnation of the railroad
men's organizations.
Elmer St. John of Fort Wayne, vice
chairman of the legislative board of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen in Indiana and presiding officer of the largest subordinate lodge in the state, who was a delegate to the State Federation meeting at Vincennes, says:
'I wish to state most emphatically
that the railroad organizations, as or
ganizations, do not approve of any radical resolutions whereby organized labor enters partisan politics or condemns the action of the lawmakers of the state of Indiana. The railroad organizations, so far as I know, have ta
ken no part in condemning James E.
Watson, and positively they stand for
temperance, because the fundamental
principles of our organization are
founded on sobriety, and all possible
efforts are being made to impress upon
the minds of the public that we are
trying to live up to the principles .ad
vocated by us." NO POWER TO FAVOR OR CONDEMN
H. L. Fldler of Indianapolis, an en
gineer and a delegate to the Vincennes
meeting, in his statement, says:
'The anti-Watson resolution adopted 1 an investigation, that President Perk-
by the State Federation in part reads. Ins of the State Federation Ijad failed that the railroad organizations, as well to make a case against Watson.

The republicans have refrained from attacking Mr. Marshall, and it is to their credit. What Mr. Marshall once was, matters not now, and the republican press has refrained from personalities regarding the democratic
candidate.
The campaign of slander, which has been made against the republic
an candidate, won't hurt him. If anything, it will make him friends. It will hurt Thomas R. Marshall, for the friends of Mr. Watson will hold
Marshall and the brewery interests responsible for the many attacks on Mr

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS to be admired for its supreme confidence and exhilarating hopefulness. Though they know that the fates are against them they continually spread the news that everything is coming their
way. Just now they are taking a great deal of satisfaction in the Bryan statement that "from every state comes encouraging reports." A sample of one
of these reports was printed in the Chicago Journal, a democratic paper, which
declares that "the republicans in Indiana are panicky." It would be extremefnteresting to know where The 'Journal gets its information. If the rest of

A3 the Federation ef Labor, opposed the nomination of Mr. Watson. In all fairness to Mr. Watson and the organization of which I have the honor to be a member, I wish to state that the ' Indiana Federation of Labor has been misinformed, as no local subdivision has any power to favor or condemn any candidate for office as a body, as party
politics is absolutely prohibited by the
constitution of said organization.
"We have always been very careful to avoid being dragged into party politics and cannot afford at this time to give our support to a resolution coming, as-I see it. from the saloon element in the state of Indiana."
WATSON EVER TI1E1H CHAMPION.
Harry Markle of Tipton, another leading member of the railroad men's organization, wrote: "I find that most of the railroad men, both democrats and republicans, are favorable to Mr. Watson because the brewery and saloon element has undertaken to drag the railroad men down with them by accusing Mr. Watson of being unfair to their cause. The railroad men well know Mr. Watson has always been their champion in every measure introduced in their behalf." The Flint Glass Workers' union at Dunkirk, which aoopted resolution last year denouncing Watson, has revoked the resolutions by almost a unanimous vote, only three members voting against revocation.

you meet on the street how the situation is going to turn out and he will
tell you that a Bryan landslide Is looked

"It is well said and no other answer is expected, but deep down in his heart democrats are having their own little doubts about Bryan. But they are confident of Marshall's election. They admit that there are good republican candidates In the county field and they admit that It will be hard to beat these. Still they figure on seating a few candidates at that."
William Howard Taft and William Jennings Bryan meet at the banquet of the Association of Commerce and are in a Jovial mood.

LABOR NEWS
The engineers of the Canadian Northern have applied for a Dominion arbitration board, and ask for an entirely new schedule, which includes a revision of working hours, a rearrangement of routes with respect to senior and Junior employee, and an increase in the wage schedulen of 10 to 15 per cent. There Is said to be no possibility of any serious trouble between the company and the men. It Is reported that some 4,000 Joiners and carpenters In Buda-Pesth, Austria-Hungary, have been locked out. Tre season alleged is that the men boycotted the work of fourteen firms who refused to concede the advance of 10 per cent In wages, as demanded by the men. The other firms resented this and all agreed upon a lockout. The Boston Roofers' Protective union, 'after an existence of forty years under its present charter, and a total life of more than eighty years under various forms of organization, last week voted to amalgamate with the Boston Sheet Metal Workers' union, and thus bring the men engaged at all forms of roofing in one big union under the protection of the Boston C. L. U. and Its building trad-os department. The Cantaift of Zurich. Switzerland, has by 49,412 votes against 33,928, passed a general strike act, prohibiting picketing and inflicting punishment for preventing persons from working by bodily force, threats or libel. Other cantons are contemplating the Introduction of a somewhat similar measure, and all over Switzerland this move has been received with warm support on the part of most of the inhabitants. At the seventeenth annual convention of the United Brewery Workers of America, held In New York, there were delegates present representing 378 local unions, with a membership of approximately 40,000. The ir ternatlonal union of the brewery workers was organized in Baltimore In 1886, when there were but eight local unions and a membership roll of barely 6,000.
