Bradford next Tuesday.. THE TRUE MEMBERS OF ORGANIZED LABOR SHOULD JOIN IN THAT REPUDIATION. The Star has never yet supported a can- didate who was not in sympathy with the man who works.

The : report that Hanson visi of labor measures equals anything in the way of despi- ited A. W. Leonard, head of the traction trust, was known to be a false report by the Bradford people before they cir- culated it. The report that Ole Hanson did not support the Red Cross campaign was known to be a lie by the very people who put it into circulation, who knew at the time that Ole Hanson was indorsed by the head of the Red Cross and who knew that when they. said he failed to subscribe $18, he did | in fact subscribe $200 to the Red Cross.

It is a bait to get those voters who are interested in seeing the police department re- turn to its old condition where the chief was a mere pawn of an irre- sponsible mayor.
