Labor A Factor, Saya Davis- 1 Form or Vice Presidential Candidate Points Out That Workmen Hold the Bal ance of Power Henry Gassaway Davis former Democratic candidate for vice pres ident, who is now in New York, believes the laboring men hold the balance of power in the political situation. Mr. Davis is not taking part in pontics now, tor ne is engaged in following out projects which he temporarily dropped to bear the standard of his party. He spoke of present condition onl 111 observa tion made by the way when asked for his views. "There is not likely to be much change," said he. in the political beliefs of the merchant, the capital ists and the farmers, but there are important movements going on .( 1 I w uujoug me laDoring classes. 1 can see it everywhere. In local elections the laboring classes are naming wieir own candidates and often state and national officers are elected, While the party to which they belong does not carry the local ticket, j. tie laboring element is shifting rapidly and its unions are becoming factors in politics.

I think, though, that at the present time the laboring men are inclined toward the Republican party. They like a president with a chip on his shoulder. In Massa chusetts there was a good example of the influence of the labor element. The state went for Mr. Roosevelt, yet elected a Democrat governor by 35,000 majority. I saw Douglrs afterward and asked him how he did it, and he replied' 'I worked with the laboring element,' It'i everywhere. Now, in Chicago-well but it was a different issue there."

He stated that in the future all bondsmen shall sign a power of attorney and a con fession of judgment, so that immedi ately after the defendant has failed to appear and bail is forfeited, the attorney for the prosecution shall go into the office of the prothonotary and have judgment confessed - ' agaiust defendant and bondsmen for . 1. n . nr,uAv.nnj nH smnAi IN THE COUNTY LITTLE INTEREST IN MAT COURT (Continued from 1st pntje. were sworn in: Henry Ilunuucl, Wm.
