Labor A Factor, Saya Davis-

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.
'Is there a tendency among them
toward bociahsra?" was asked.
"Yes" was the reply, "I think
there is. 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."
Judge Lynch of the Luzerne court
has announced a stringent new rule
which is intended to place out of
business the men who are in the
habit of offering their services m
giving straw bail. 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
