MARSHALL IGNORED THE MAIN ISSUE.
THOMAS R. MARSHALL, candidate for - governor of Indiana on the democratic ticket, spoke to a large crowd of voters in Hammond last night. In the assembly were many republicans, democrats and socialists. They tame to hear what Mr. Marshall had to say in the interest of his candidacy. They went away disappointed. It is acknowledged from one end of the state to the other that the premiere issue in the Indiana campaign is. local option. Most of the saloons in Hammond are plastered with home rule lithographs
The question in the campaign is: "Shall the brewers, who are supporting Mr. Marshall, rule?" The saloon question is all-absorbing and on it the democrats are making a desperate fight on Mr. Watson. On the subject of county option, Mr. Marshall last night had not one word to say. He ignored it. He never mentioned it. He declined to tell the people how he

thousands who heard Mr. Watson take a positive stand and who wasn't
afraid to say how he stood on the option question, now have their opinion of Mr. Marshall. There was about as much argument in Marshall's speech
as there is ice in the Sahara. PROTECT THE AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
MR. BRYAN DOESN'T NEED TO THINK that he can deceive the
voters of this country any longer on the question of protecting American
industries?
There certainly ought to be a tariff on all -foreign products that come into this country for the making of which we have the raw material and
the laborers for producing.
All foreign countries employ laborers at about half the wages we
have to pay in this country and most of them have cheaper raw material
If we have no duty on foreign goods 'that are imported, our manufacturing
industries would be ruined in a very short time. Give us protection and

prosperity of the nation depends.

THE REAL ENEMIES OF LABOR are not those, like Judge Taft, who support principles whose primary design is to permit labor to do its work in peace. Its real enemies are those who in the spirit of Jack Cade vow reformation by disturbing industry and by threatening the safe-guards for
the welfare of the many that civilization has slowly and painfully developed,
Despite the malingering of Gompers, labor and the labor unions will be better
off next winter if Mr. Taft is elected than if he is defeated. This, not be cause Mr. Taft is any more the friend of labor than he is of any other ele

uptogether or down together. IT HAS MADE REPUBLICAN VOTES.

THERE HAS HE EN OXE PLEASANT feature about the present politi
cal campaign, in that it has been particularly free from mud-slinging and despicable personalities. The partisan organs in Indiana have realized that
the hurling of, epithets does riot make votes and is no argument at all. Dem
ocrats have regretted that one of their organs has in assailing republican
editors and policies hurt the democratic party, by the use of such vicious expletives as "liar", "skunk", "fool", "yawper", "egregious ass", "rotten" and many other like terms. It is unnecessary to advertise the organ, which uses such language. o WILL YOU BE A TOOL FOR OTHERS, MR. LABORING MAN? THERE IS A GREAT QUESTION in the minds of many thinking laboring men these daj-s regarding the advisability of following the political dictates of their leaders. If those leaders were always inspired by the highest of motives there would be no question as to what to do. The interests of labor would be served best by following the lead of men who have taken time to think these matters out and who would recommend to their bretbern a policy which would be for their best interests. But labor leaders, like the leaders in other lines of activity, are human. They have their political ambitions. It is a rare thing these days to find a man, in any walk of life, who takes upon himself great responsibilities for purely philanthropic purposes. He generally sees something in it for himself. Mr. Samuel Gompers may be said to be the originator of the idea to take the unions into politics. That idea would have been a good thing if the union .leaders were always actuated by a desire to promote the best Interests of the great mass of workers in this country.
The cause of labor would be advanced with wonderful rapidity if it were possible for these leaders to forget their partisanship, forget their personal ambitions, forget their enmities and urge the election of candidates who have proven themselves the friends of labor, regardless of their political faith and oppose the candidacy of men who have proven indisputably the fact that they were the enemies of labor and had done labor more harm than good. But with few exceptions these men do not measure up to this standard. A candidate's labor record may be ever so good and yet a partisan labor leader might point to some ill-advised step, some mistake in judgment and base his opposition to that man on that one act, when, if the whole truth were known, that man might be the best friend labor has. Every unioij, man in Lake county Knows what farce is the endorsing of candidates by labor. In one union a democrat is endorsed as the friend of labor and his opponent is denounced as its bitter enemy and the same democrat may be denounced in another union and the republican may be heartily endorsed. It generally depends upon the number of democrats there are in a particular union or group of unions, and possibly upon the fact that some demagogue who cares no more for the union than he does for any other body of men, has "salved" his way into its good graces. The wise union man is coming to see the folly of it all and to use his own judgment in such matters. He does not propose to yield his right to decide these matters for himself because the head of his union happens to belong to the opposite party or have a grudge against the candidate of a particular party. It is true there are men in both parties who have proven with a question of a doubt that they are hostile to labor. But in these cases it Is up to the individual union man to decide as to whether he could conscientiously support such a "man. It is ud to him to decide, not on the whispered advice of some partisan
