of the nation regards him.

encounters for the first time a real Dem

Cox is n rather hard master. Tho Ue

Put Fortli Ifest Efforts
This being the home of both candi

their utmost efforts. Many meetings are
being held dnil.v in till parts of Ohio by

Federation of Trade Unions that
Amerlian labor will not be n yarty to
its revolutionary schemes.

largely because of the German renre-
scntatlon therein. Official association
with South American labor organiza
tions, It was pointed out, will consist
of the only tonnal relntions of Ainerl
can labor with the outside world.
