N.-J,, Aug,, IS, 100 ?, Samuel Gomperg, E sq .. President Of the American Federation of Labor; Dear Sir and. UrothetWWe lies to- q.c- taiowledgo the.receipt of-.atv address Is­ sued fty the executive council of the, American Federation of Labor under data of Aug, L Accompanying tills Is on, ap­ peal for funds to carry out the political programme set forth In the address,'ip - which you Chll upon the workers of our’ common country to stand faithfully by ' ‘our friends. We. hereby return to you both documents, not that we do not think the wageworkers should stand' By their friends and defeat their enemies, but for the reason that we rail to agree with , you as to who are opr friends and who are our' enemies,, You claim to pe- JleVa tl>e Democratic party to he friendly . .to labor because at Its last national con­ vention It promised to do certain things If elected, Fob this- reason ypu ask the trades Unionists of the country to do thp <utmost to elect Its candidates and tp fur­ nish means for carrying on Its .campaign. The 1 Central Labor union of Camden believe they hays suijic.ient Intelligence to designate who are the friends of labor • and who ore Its fads. We ,take no slock 'in any party’s promises made Just prior , to election when svo have the record of ■that party' to guide and direct us, We refuse to believe that any political party 1 . tbat has a continuous record, for permit* , - ting the most degrading forms of labor to exist |n states where its Jurisdiction , is complete can or will reverse Itself when It comes Into possession pf the na­ tional government. Labor has found the Democratic party faithless and tyrannical ,Instate government. By what legerdemain ■ ’are we to believe it will do better when it ha* still greater power to oppress? ’ In the southern states. Where ..Bryan Democ­ racy had been in the saddle for years and , where It 'dominates every office from 0 . the highest to j the lowest,; are the places, ’ ' ‘‘ to get-the party’s record In Its,relation to "the working class; . Let hs Judge it by .what It has dope, and ’is now doing in pieces where It Is''In power, and not by any promises' it- may make to gain our votes. -The rule of the Democratic party In the south has produced cond|t! 6 ns that rival the worst In 1 the worlds In the fac- fortes ‘ over' which they, have • legislative control we find wages the lowest, the ’ ’ hours the longest slid, child labor the severest.'' Qhly under Democratic rule, do Wo find peonage and convict labor farmed out, by the state; With thousands of men and” hoys WtffMng with:ball ,nnd chain, sentenced there by a Democratic official >! noon a trumped up charge of vagrancy. , ■bwwhsre.to this broad land do you fttsd Jz2 ' •,'V'fea‘m'twtoy'of 'the Worker so hopeless or a* dp. i# ’W f ?•'PmrarawSu wjr ffie Diemocrado party,' ‘ - Ofite, ■Gnmper*,, how can you oak the working class to support any party; syith: - such a damnable record? ’ Are' piqued, because the Republican national convention handed .you a, lempn thfttin order to defeat,Its candidates you--would “ foist Into power a political party that for the past fifty year* has hover haft; the manhood to raise its voice in protest .against any injustice-or Indignity suffered by the Working class? .The* rule Of the DemO.cratlo party whenever in, power has been most tyrannous ahd degrading to labor, Upon what Ijlhe of reason should the working class’help-a party nevermissed an opportunity to oppressit? William Jennings Bryan, ns the stand* ard bearer you ask us to support, has never done anything to merit our -Votes, There has never yet occurred a crime to labor of. sufficient magnitude to, induce him to protest , Mr. Gompera, the Working class ednnot trust a man to be high In power Who la hot brave -enough to assort his belief in the Innocence of men persecuted by pdf* tics who furnish the sinews of War-to’ carry on his campaign,, At ho tlrab li.as Mr, Bryan, squarely faced the enemy ' of 1 ths working clusa and denounced their crimes. He has beheld the tragedies that have befallen labor with stojiy.eyes.AUd ft mutated Jaw. ^ When Packingtown struck against Are* ■ Auction of wages to $ 01.40 from 17.29 per week no Dcinacrntlc politician raised Ills voice in’protest What the working class has stiffened in the last few years for the sake of principle would stir -tho heart of Washington monument If it had one, yet throughout It all Bryan, Who stands ft* ths champion of tabor because ho needs opr support, has been as silent . as tho tomb, If labor's friends arc to be found lb the Democratic party, laBor would have no problem to solve and nothing to complain fff In states controlled by tho Deffideratic party. The fact that the worst blows labor is today receiving come from Dem­ ocratic Alabama and by persons high tip in the nailohsl councils of tile Democratic party J* conclusive proof that the Work­ ing class has nothing to gain by support­ ing the party Or its candidates. Frre press and frCo speech, tho bulwark of the workers* path to a belter condition, have time and again been nftfteked, find never, once has any prominent Democratic paper or party leader raised a voles to protest. Our friends ars they who stand by us continuously and ars ever willing to fight our battles. Whenever trades unionism Is attacked It Is not tho Demo- cfatlo party or press that topics to par assistance, but the party and press of our class. If tabor owes any allegiance to s political party it Is cerHfnly to it party composed of and gelded solely by our class and not to one in v/isleh labor exploiters congregate and labor’s enemies control, however much they may promise In order to secure our support. It Is time for tabor to Awaken to tho necessity of political action, but In doing so let if take no backward step or make any falso moves.

Mf. Green was nominated on tho third ballot, after a strenuous period of voting, when any combination of file big counties could have, put him through on the first, ballot. It is sig­ nificant that Franklin epunty, Where he has resided for the past eight years, and Columbiana county, whbro he was born,, stood loyally by him In the convention from ths first, but Franklin was the only largo county to do so. The loyalty of these two coun­ ties merely proved that Mr. Green is supported with the greatest unan­ imity .ad enthusiasm where he la best known. > Aside from Franklin the big conn* ties divided their strengin against Mr. Green, In the convention. Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas and Montgomery stftod aloof from his banner fof two ballots,- and whatever progress lie made among those counties wap achieved only when it became appar­ ent that he had the “staying qualities’’ necessary to a successful candidate, and that his nomination was Inevit­ able. Iu the meantime the smatler- coun­ ties, representing fell sections of tho state, gfeve him the votes required to proto that he was in the race to stay. They were directly responsible for his nomination, and their loyal support made R evldeiil that tho honor which he finally won was due to the rank and file ot tho Republican, party fee represented in the conven­ tion, and to no other cause. it Is flying in the face of history to assert tlifet ML Green’s nomination Was obtained in any other way, such an assertion can not be substantiated by the facts and can only gain cre­ dence among those who fere Ignorant of the proceedings of the lets Repub­ lican state Convention. Today, In a partisan sense, his candidacy repre­ sents only the pure Republicanism It represented In the convention/ biit in a broader political dense it represents the best Interests of alt the voters of Ohio, because of Mr, Green's eminent fitness for the office to Which ho aspires, as welt as the honorable method of his nomnation.
