If I would have you remember anything I have said in these desultory remarks, it would be to remember at this critical hour in the nation’s his- tory, we must not be divided. The triumphs of the war are yet to be written in the articles of peace.—(Extract from Presi- dent McKinley's speech deliv- ered at Boone, Iowa, shortly before congressional elections, 1898.) BACKING THE PRESIDENT. As an example of the methods be- ing used by the President’s enemies fo embarrass him in the present cam- pailgn, we reprint the following ex- cerpt from a paper, ‘“The Voter and His Employer”, a monthly publica- tion claiming to represent the labor and mechanical engineering. classes, and purported to be issued by one Michael O’Shea, 66 High street, Wor- cester, Massachusetts: ““The manufacturers who are members of the War Labor Board should "have resigned im- mediately when the President de- cided to take over the Smith & Wesson Company.” This seems to be the general sentiment among the manufacturers throughout the country Undoubtedly. the rawest ever given an honest business concern was to the Smith & Wesson Company of Springfield, Mass., by the War Labor Board, when that body practically d cided that business men of exec- utive ability or those who have built up thelr business can not run it unless that they accept conditions laid down by strike agitators and labor traitors. The War Labor Board today exclu- ve of the few mianufacturers on it, is,an American Federation of Labor proposition, carefully guided by a Federation attorney and, if let go on with its ultimate design, will in time unionize all manufacturing plants in the United States doing war work. The closed shop which bars indi- vidual bargaining with employes will predominate over free labor, which is an American institution. “THE BEST WAY TO OFF- SET THE PRESENT TENDEN- CY TOWARDS RUINING THE OPEN SHOP IS FOR THE MANUFACTURERS AND NON- UNION WAGE BEARNERS TO HELP ELECT A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS NEXT NOVEMBER AND PUT IN TWICE AS MUCH FUNDS FOR THE 1918 ELEC- TIONS AS WAS GIVEN IN 1916, THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN THE HOU AND SENATE MUST BE OVERCOME FIRST.

While it is known that there has never been a degree of mutual affection between them, local Republicans had hoped that certain differences might be for- gotten until the conclusion of the present campaign. Mr. Klett is- sued the following invitation to his constituents last night, in the form of a circular letter: “All that anyone dlesiving to vote for me and not the rest of the Republican ticket will have to do is to pull downgthe pointer A, which is my number.” We prefer to leave it to the judg- ment of our readers just what Klett had in mind by that appeal its authenticity there can be doubt.
