! candidate for assemblyman in cha.i

say of the effort of Mr. Gonipers to
turn the labor vote over to Mr. Bryan:
"1 am a union labor man, and 1 want

the labor vote into the Democratic

them will stand by the Republican
party because only In that way have
they the assurance of freedom front
the business disturbance that Mr. Bry
an promises for at least four years It'
he can be elected. We workingmen
can't earn wages if statesmen are put
In office to disturb business and make

Campaign Funds.
"We welcome Mr. Tuft to this ad

of his numerous interviews since the
Denver convention. The ground refer

campaign contributions woftld be re

intended to convey the impression that
Mr. Taft had come to that determina

that the Democratic "peerless one" is
not honest. Mr. Taft Is a law abiding
citizen. Such contributions are unlaw
