BOOK
TO DE ISSUED BY STATE COMMITTEE
Secretary Hays Has Prepared the Book and It Will Be of Great Service to Republican Speakers..
DEVERIDGE TO MAKE . , THE KEYNOTE SPEECH
But Place Where He Will Blow
Open the Campaign Not Yet Named Kern May Open
for the Democrats.
(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, July 19. The republl
can state committee will Issue within few daya a campaign book which
will contain material for the apeakera
and workers In Indiana during ( the coming, state campaign. Much time and care baa been spent In the preparation of the book, which Is largely the handiwork of John Hays, the secretary of the state committee, and it is said
that It will be the most complete book t its kind ever Issued by any committee In Indiana. It will give all Information possible to put between Its covers, including the state platform, the record of the party in Indiana on Important matters, a list of congressional and legislative nominees, the vote by counties at the election two years ago and many arguments for the use of the speakers. The democrats will not issue any
inch book this year, It la aald. -In fact: It baa not been the policy of the democrats to Issue a campaign book In
Indiana. But they will conduct a Tery
active campaign.
- For Short Campaign. There seems to be a disposition just
now to make the campaign abort and sharp Instead of long drawn out John
Hays, secretary of the republican
state committee, said yesterday that
the activities of the campaign would
probably' be confined to a few weeks preceding the election in November, and the democrats are talking in the
same way. From present Indications
U looks like the real campaign will
not begin much before the 20th of
September. It la said that John ' W.
Kern and Senator Beverldge - will not return home from their vacations before about the second week' In September and of course the campaign
cannot open ' without ' them. Senator
Beverldge will of course make the key
note speech for the ' republicans, but the place for his speech has not been selected.' Whether Governor Marshall
or Mr. ' Kern will make . the opening speech for the democrats is not known, as these two men are to be the headliners for their party during the campaign. Senator Shi vely also will make many speeches In the state, but it is said that his efforts will be directed largely to helping those members of the legislature who voted for him for senator and who have been renominated. 8ome Interesting News. - An interesting ' bit of newa comes from Washington, arriving yesterday, to the effect that Speaker Cannon,
are insurgents .or standpatters. A list of the congressional districts to be visited by Cannon and Watson during the campaign will be made up.
Both parties have this year abandoned the Idea of taking a six months poll of the state, because, they say, It does. not. pay.. A six months poll does hot' Indicate what the situation will be on election day. They say It is a waste of money to take a six months poll. Great care Is to be taken this year, however,. In the taking. of sixty' day. poll and. the thirty day poll
because these polls amount to something. That Option Law. .The . anti-saloon . ieagueofflcials are of the opinion that party lines are going to't rest lightly on the votersthls year, when it comes to voting on the question of whether the" county option law shall-be saved or .repealed. K. & Minton', the, attorney for the league and also the legislative manager say a he has been out in;the state much of
the time lately and that people tell him they-are going to. vote to save
that law no matter, whom they are re
quired to vote for to do this.
"I believe the people are as much, if
not more, interested in the county op
tlon question than in anything else,
and this being the case they will not
pay much attention to party lines,"
he said.
An amusing situation has developed
between the anti-saloon league and the
brewers' association. Both sides start
ed 'some time ago to send out great
quantities of literature to voters over
the' state. Each' side seemed to be
for a few days the anti-saloon league
had the lead. . Brewers Hit Hard. But the brewers came to bat strong In the next inning. They went out and bought a fine multtgra'ph which la operated by electricity and which is capable of producing 5,000 coplea an
hour as against the league's 500 copies. Thus the anti-saloon pepole were outclassed by the sheer use of money. The brewers' machine cost $500, while the. league's machine, cost only-$100. Now the anti-saloon peo
ple: are talking. about raising enough money to enable then) to buy an electric attachment to their machine, so
they can again catch ' up jwith ' the brewers. They haven't made it yet. J
George , Williamson of Khlghtstown,
republican nominee for representative
from Henry county was in .the city
James E. Watson and James A. Hem- trying to outdo each other in the
enway of Indiana, and Congressman
McKlnley of Illinois, are to be guests of Tobe Hert, former superintendent of the Indiana reformatory at. Jeffersonvllle during the month of August At his cottage at Mackinac. The story says that Speaker Cannon has promised to stay all month, and that the others will Btay nearly as long. They will talk politics, of course, and It Is said that they will decide whether to Jump in and try to kill the insurgent movement with one hard battle or help to elect republican candidates for congress, ' regardless of whether they
amount of stuff sent out The brewers got a little ahead of the anti-saloon
league, because they had more money to spend and could hire a larger force of assistants. The brewers developed
a dally bulletin service, mailing thous
ands of pieces of mail matter each
day.
It was up to the anti-saloon league to do something to hold Its own, so It bought a multigraph, operated it by
hand, with which it could make 500 copies an hour of any piece of literature which it wished to send out. This led the brewers by several lengths, and
ter, and buy better goods now than
they used to buy. They nave more money than ever before and. they spend more money than they ever did. I tell you, the whole country is prosperous from one end to the other, and as long as the people are prosperous
they are not going -to vote for a
change. One of the organisation tasks that confronts both parties this year is the problem of organizing the foreign voters of Lake and St. Joseph counties. Two years ago- the republicans were able to get the best of the foreigners in those two counties, because it was presidential year and the organizations bad ' plenty of resources with which to naturalize thousands of the foreigners. 'And the result was shown at the election. This year, however,
there has been some' fear that it might be more difficult to naturalize the for-
that conservation will be the principal topic to be treated and it is quite possible that a more definite policy In regard to this will come into being as
the result of the San Antonio congress.
A." definite program will be mapped out as soon as CoL Fleming and Col. Ike T. - Pry or, president of the congress, can come together in this city.
yesterday and called at the republican eigners because of the fact that this
state headquarters. . He is very opti
mistic about the republican prospects In the Sixth congressional district. 'He
believes . the conditions are such that the republicans will easily win at the election. He is sanguine aa to his own
election, for Henry county is a strong
republican county. - -v .
Farmer Are Satisfied. The farmers are pretty well satis
fied with present conditions," he said,
"and they can be counted on to vote
their party ticket this year. They do
not see any reason for making any change of any kind at this time. I see the democrats are trying to make much out of the high cost of living, but the farmers are not complaining on that score. Once - in a while ' you
hear a man say something of that kind but it Is not often. I am in the dry
goods and clothing .business at Knightstown, and a few days ago a
farmer came in with his little son and fitted him out with a new suit and
outfit of clothes. He was complaining
about the high cost of everything. I
said to him: 'Now, see here, you are a
good democrat, aren't you?' He said he was. 'Well, now, how old were you
before you got as nice a suit and out
fit as you have just bought for your
son T 'vvny, Mr. Williamson, 1 never
had such a nice suit of clothes until after I was twenty-one years old,' the
fellow answered. Now, that shows
present conditions. People live bet-
year the campaign is a state fight in
stead of a. natioanl " one. However, both sides are going after the foreign
vote in those two counties, and it will
be a race between for the most of it.
MINISTER WAS COOL
Threats of Crowd on Pastor
Who Abducted Little Girl, Fruitless.
SCENE IN A COURT ROOM
A measure to protect the people was butchered by cowardly Congressmen and saved, by a brave President to whom honor is due for his protection. t200.000.0t) was to be approprlatetd for use by the Dept. of Justice In prosecuting offenders against the Sherman Anti-Trust law, which Is Intended to protect men at work, whether they be working with hands, heads, or both. , Protect them from "combinations and conspiracies In restraint of trade." ' That ' means combinations of men who conspire to prevent other men from earning a living. Two or three large oil companies might , "combine and conspire" to freeze out a small dealer. ' He has a right to conduct a business and earn a living for his family and should have protection from "combinations" which "conspire" to ruin him. , It also applies to "combinations" of workmen who-"conspire" to drive other workmen from work. The great "Labor Trust" has been seized by certain men who now have control. They force every member to pay fees, which aggregate several hundred thousand dollars a year.
They Intend that no men who
refuse to pay fees to them shall work
Whenever Independent men or those who form their own union seek to
work, the big trust orders strikes on
the Jobs, to force the Independent
men or Independent union men out of work until they join the big trust
and pay fees to the leaders. One illustration will suffice:
, On June 22nd, 1010. the N. Y. Building Trades Council (part of the Labor Trust) declared a strike of all trades
about thirty million workers In this
country and only about 1,700,000
members of the Labor Trust and that most of them are coerced Into mem
bership?
'on a 12-story building at 35th and Oth
Ave., because of the employment of
members of an electrical union, not members of the trust. ' Work on the entire building was stopped. The 8cc'y of the "trust" said that general strikes would be ordered on every building where the "obnoxious electricians' are employed. These electricians belong to a union formed under the arbitration plan some time ago and kept their Jobs.
The employers afterward contracted, under pressure with the big trust and were told to and did order Independent union to join the Labor Trust. The men refused because they did not like the trust methods of coercion, bullying, slugging . and general violence. This Is only one illustration of hundreds of cases where the trust "conspires In restraint of trade. That Is, by combination they conspire to and do stop work, Interfere with industry, and prevent men from earning a living unless they pay fees to the trust leaders. There is perhaps never one single
day In a year but what the Labor
Trust Is engaged somewhere In Amerl
ca In "restraining trade, preventing
men from worklug and stopping the
flow of industry. No trust In this coun
try breaks the law one-tenth as many times, or takes the bread from men's
mouths as frequently as the Labor
Trust,
No trust has ever "restrained" such volumes of work or stopped -the
- payment of ao much money.'
' No trust has maimed and killed
ao many men or blown up and destroyed so much property and yet the attorney general has been held back from
prosecutions for some unexplained reason. What does a worklngman care ' about the prosecution of the oil trust
when the big labor trust keeps him
out of work every now and then.
8uppose you write Pres. .Taft and
ask why the Atfy Gen'l doea not pro
tect the people against the biggest and
. Boat hurtful trust we have.
- The authorities forget there are
How can the authorities answer to
the vast army of 28 million free workers, farmers and householders whose affairs are from time to time Inter; fered with and who have to bear the loss of wages, and the general heavy loss of stopped industries brought about by the leaders of the Labor Trust In their manipulation of men
seeking to drive them Into fee-paying
slavery?
The 28,000,000 workers, not members of the trust, object to being driven from work, or having R. R. trains
stopped with all the far-reaching loss
es, or the street cars stopped and men
and women prevented from getting to
and from work, or factories struck and perhaps destroyed, the weekly pay roll stopped and the sustenance of at least part and perhaps all of a community
withdrawn.
The great Philadelphia street car
strike was forced by the big Labor Trust, not on account of wages and
hours, but to throw out about 4,000
men who had their own union a peaceable one. 1 These men did not want to pay fees to the trust leaders and be subject to their whims so they formed their own union for self protection. Thereupon the big trust called a strike blew up and burned cars, attacked and slaughtered men, kept people from getting to and from work, forced their other slaves to quit work and cost the people of Phil, several million dollars and untold suffering and inconvenience solely for the purpose of "showing"
them the power of the Labor Trust to "force" people to "mind" and force these independent men to join the trust, "obey" and pay fees to the leaders. That is a serious state of affairs In
this free country and Is enough to
awaken every American to the
(the Labor Trust side) and thus impresses the members of Congress with the belief that the'whole mass of laboring men are orying for exemption from punishment for law breaking. In this partciular case the President induced Congress to reconsider the vote and protect the masses from the proposed tyranny. Don't forget the issue. The Labor Trust leaders called for exemption from prosecution when they break the law of conspiracy and they thus sought to be free to drive millions of free workmen Into idleness. These freeman wll . nqt. son .forget the effort of their representatives in Congress to force them Into the irksome slavery of the big Labor Trust which seeks to dictate first, monthly fees, then, when and where they can work, for whom, or what wages and how long.
That kind of "hand tying" is not relished by millions of free men or by
thousands of "tied" men now forced into membership in. order to get jobs and not be slugged yet they are ordered on strike from time to time and made to boycott, picket and act as law
breakers at the behest of the leaders fighting to hold power over them. "How can the citizen and free man protect himself?" Write to your Congressman and Senator. (Address them at home now.) Say "Whenever any measure comes up presented by the Labor Trust leaders and Intended to give them more power over us, and restrict our liberties, please protect us by voting it down; analyze each measure carefully and vote only for laws intended to protect the great , mapority of your constituents In
their freedom, uncontrolled by any set of men either of capital or labor. It Is dangerous to give any combination privilege or power to dictate to other citizens. We will support you if you protect us, but we must put In a representative who will defend the majority
ne-!of the people If you refuse." Write
cessity of curbing such men in their Insane race for notoriety, power and
fee-gathering.
Citizens want Industry, commerce
and wages to continue without Inter
ference from any set of men either employers or employes who seek selfish gain to themselves alone, without
regard to how much all the people
outside the trust may be Inconvenienced and damaged.
The trust leaders, to make stronger
their control of members, fight valiantly to be allowed to boycott and conspire to ruin all free citisens either employers or workmen who do not
pay fees to the trust leaders.
Therefore when thUS2OO;00O.0O ap
propriation bill came up they deluged Congress with demands to exempt combinations of labor from prosecu
tion if they broke the law and startling as it may seem, over a hundred Congressmen voted to so exempt them. In other words voted to permit one set of men to break the law and dominate the great majority of citizens, while the majority must keep the law and submit to the damage, leases. Insolence and Idleness put upon them by the comparatively, small .band of trust members.
"Why were these Congressmen cowards?" you ask. Because the trust
managers sent word to their local managers In all parts of the country Instructing them to fire letters and telegrams to Congressmen whenever a bill to give the trust more power is introduced. The Great mass bt citisens who are to be tyrannised over have no organization to warn them to notify Congressmen of their wishes arid ao the heavy fire cornea from but one aide
him and write him now.
- Don't sit in silence and permit your liberties to be taken from you because the big Labor Trust supported by fees stirs its local managers to continued activity, while the plain every day citizen says nothing, having no organization. Experience in the past has shown that the great big factor known aa the "common man" may not be so quick as local Labor Trust leaders to write his Congressman for protection, yet he
reads and votes; that is why many a candidate who thought he could help push through trust laws of either Capital or Labor, seeking gain or control
of the average citizen has met defeat
when he comes up for re-election.
No one leads the common people but they are neither fools nor children and they are at least 00 per cent in the ma
jority. Many new and peaceful organ
izations of labor are being' established free from the fee-hunting tyranny of
the big Labor Trust.
One of these. The Nat'l Trades and
Workers Ass'n with , headquarters at
Battle Creek, Mich., recently offered
Ex-Pres. Roosevelt its Presidency.
. The Ass'n hadn't means enough to pay a suitable salary for his great
ability and moral worth.
I became so strongly impressed with
the honesty of purpose and progress
ive principles of this labor organization that I considered It worth while

If settlements cannot be made, the
case goes to a carefully selected board
oi mediation, when the facts are
brought out in friendly conference
settlement Is reached in a great ma
jority of cases. If not, the facts on both sides are given the local press
and thus the citizens of the communi
ty become entirely conversant with the
matter and public opinion steps in.
Its' hard for either side to stand for
a wrong, with the great weight of pub
lic opinion opposed.
Up to the time of the mediation proceeding the men keep at work and the
flow of money through the commun
ity is continued. If, thereafter, they
feel they can do better elsewhere, they
have a right to withdraw 5 per cent of
the men each day and go to a job bet
ter liked but they make no objection to the employer putting new men in
the places they leave. It seldom comes
to that
The practical working of the plan shows the Industries go on and the
employer holds his time-tried men to him on any reasonable terms and they
and he are friends working together,
whereas if they settled by the club and
force, hate would invariably foil w.
greatly to the detriment of the indus
try and the men personally.
The Trades and Workers Ass'n Is growing rapidly among some of the
best workmen In America.
It marks a new epoch. Let workmen
write the Trades and Workers Ass'n of
Battle Creek, Mich., for a constitution
and by-laws and study the new peace
movement.
Practically all real workers dislike to have their negotiations conducted
by strikes, violence, hate and general
disturbance, but the noisy ones have
gained control of the big Labor Trust
and they force the peaceful ones, and by such methods have brought much odium on the name of Labor.
A better day is coming. A day of
peace and steady prosperity for the workers, but it will be delayed by cow
ardly Congressmen if they mistakenly
vote to put more power in the hands of the trust leaders and make them immune from prosecution when they
boycott, slug, burn and dynamite using such means to hold workmen in their power to extract monthly fees from them and to force the rest of humanity to "obey" them or take the consequences. It is high time the people were protected by the strongarm of the law.
Reader If you want to 'retain your freedom talk plainly to yoru Congressman and Legislators. Remember the high priests of the Labor Trust are always busy hounding Congressmen to
pass new laws to protect them in their
attacks on workmen and citizens.
Do your duty and compel your representatives to protect you. If they don't respond, see yon are at the polls and cast a vote for the man who has first agreed to stand by the majority and
