We ask for equal rights before the law, as any other citizens. I have it in my mind to say no word in criticism of the president other than this the right of petition is the right of the American citizen guaranteed by the constitution, and neither the president nor congress can take that right away from him. Labor is the only power in human so ciety that represents the masses. "Why did we begin the fight in Littlefield's district? . Because the election wa; held there two months earlier than ir the other states. !f we had passed over this district, they would have said we were afraid. We were not afraid. We conducted a clean fight, and used no argument or language that might not have been repeated In polite society. The labor ing people have outgrown the stoop ed back and receding forehead of 'the man with the hoe.' They now stand erect."
