Perm. Labor
Federation
Allentown, Ta., March 10 The sev
enth annual convention of the Pennsyl
vania State Federation of Labor, which
'began its session in this city
today,
; is the largest meeting in point of at
tendance ever nem by that organiza
tion. Delegates representing nearly
all the large labor bodies of the state
faced President E. E. Greenwalt, of
Lancaster, when he called the gath
ering to order. The address of tlie
president and the annual reports of the
other officers were the chief features
of the initial session.
The address of President Green
wait contained a brief summary of the
progress made by organized labor in
Pennsylvania during the past year, as
well as numerous suggestions and rec
. omendations for the consideration of
the convention.
The convention will remain in ses
sion three or four days, and many sub
jects of importance to labor will be
considered. The advisability of or
ganized labor tailing part in the com
ing political campaign will be discussed.
Another matter that will receive atten
tion is the recent decision of the su
preme court upon matters affecting la
bor. Envy is the habit of losing our own
happiness while longing for anoth

Politics And Politicians
The managers of the Hughes cam
paign are counting on having the
votes of the eight delegates from Ver
mant at the national convention.
W. S. U'Ren, the father of the Ore
gon initiative and referendum law,
has announced his candidacy for the
seat of the United States Senator Ful
ton. Senator Isaac Stephenson, of Mari
netto, Col. William C. Brunder, of
Milwaukee: Congressman Henrv Al- 5
len Cooper, of Racine, and Atley Peter- .
son, or boldiers Grove, are slated as
the La Follette delegates-at-larga from
Wisconsin to the Republican national
convention.
It is reported that Joseph Ralph Bur
ton, fromeriy United States senator
from Kansas, and a life-long republi
can, is about to renounce his allegiance
to the old party and join the democrat
ic tamp. The report has been 'strength
ened by the fact that Mr. Burton at
tended the recent Democratic state
convention at Hutchinson and was al-l
so present for the Bryan banquet atj
i opeka.
No president of the United States
has ever attended the national conven
tion of his party. Garfield and Bry
an were delegates in the convention
of their, respective parties when nomi
nated for the presidency, and Roose
velt was a delegate-at-iarge from New
York when he was nominated for vice
president. Arthur Sewall, Bryan's run
ning mate in 1896, was an active work
er at the Chicago convention which
nominated him, although not a dele
gate. William C. Bradley, the new United
States senator from Kentucky, Avas
born in that state in 1847 and admitted
to the bar by special act of the legisla
ture in 1865, being under 21 years of
age. In 1870 he was elected prosecut
ing attorney, and after having been
many times delegate to republican na
tional conventions he received 106
votes for vice-president m tne conen-j
tion of 1888. His election to the
governorship of Kentucky occurred inj
1895, when he broke all records andj
turned a registered democratic majori-i
tv. estimated at 40,000 into a repun
lican plurality of 8.212. In 1896 he was ;
indorsed for president by the republi
can convention of Kentucky.
