convention which is to be held
Saturday.
Another matter which will come up
n the convention is that of rendering
a decision as to whether a soronH
primary .will be held to decide whether
U. V. Richardson or G. A. Whitforrl
will represent the county in the lee-fi
lature.
With so many votes to count the
convention will have a task on its hands
which will not bv anv means h.
joyed by the members and it is the
general opinion that the canvass of the
votes should have betrun vpsterrlav
and concluded before he convention
is canca to order. However, jthjs was
not done.
Interest in the Congressional situa
tion remains at fever heat. Each dav
tne beliel grows stronger that Hon.
Charles R. Thomas has secured the
nomination and hi frienHu ara
fidently asserting that the vote when
counted will be found in his favor.
There seems to be some doubt in
the minds of a few that it will not be
an easy task to count all of these votes,
jhere being so many candidates in the
race " -Hoewn'hwT-ft-nf -ie irtrm'
or no trouble. The committee who
will canvass this vote have thoroughly
studied the preferential primary law
and will be in a position to handle this
part of the work in a thorough and
expedient manner.
As to the selection of Mr. Thonuis.
even the friends of several of (he other
candidates in the race have conceded
the victory to him and it only remains
for the final canvass of the votes to
affirm this.

There has been little rh :
"v. a luc
anti-trust legislation situation in Con
gress for ten days. Those conversant
with the facts do not thinlr that m
. - IHUIC
man one-tourth of the. members of
the House or Senate care to tackle se
riously the measure at this session.
The House may pass one or more anti
trust measures, but the Senate will
discuss them for a time and adjour.
without passing them such ia th
concensus of opinion now.
the House will beein rnniVlaMt;
of the proposed trust legislation this
week, ihe Senate Committee on In
terstate Commerce expects to report
the Trade Commisjion bill, which was
prepared by a non-partisan subcom
mittee two weeks ago.
The trouble about this anti-trust
legislation, according to the leaders of
the Democratic forces of the House,
is -that it requires hard work and
members of Coneress hav hn
so long without a rest taht they lack
enthusiasm for the great effort it win
require. Three out of four members
of the House would rather not pass
trust bills at this time.
The demands of American Fed
eration of Labor are worrying "labor
Congressmen." The President has in
dicatetl ino um-ertain-way that he
will not .stand f..r ,), ' ,
mt cAeiupiion OI
labor organizations from the operation
of the Sherman law and other anti
trust acts to come.
President Gompers and associates
who manage the affairs of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor have served
notice on their frien() ; r-
, ... . ...... WllglfSS
that the House bill must be so amend
ed "that it will definitely and clearly
'exempt the organizations of workers
from the civil as well as the criminal
sections of the Sherman Anti-Trust
law, and by so doing redeem fhe pled
ges of the Democratic party."
It was undoubtedly the intention of
Congress, the labor leaders
connection with the SI er nan act,' lT
enact a law that would be effective is
the prevention of hnire rnmh.n:
of wealth from crushing their com
petitors in the business world. It was
also the avowed and openly expressed
opinion of the statesmen who wrote
the law that it should n t Apply to far
mers or laborers'
hshed for the betterment of th
ducers of wealth.
Over these interpretations the con
gressmen will battle for some weeks.
The Houe and- Senate will support
the President in his purpose to give
union labor just what he tMnlr it ;
entitled to and no more under the
Sherman law.
The House bill presented by Chair
man Clayton, of the Judiciary Com
mittee, do;s not exempt the labor un
ions from prjsecution undr the Sher
man act. It provides . that nothing
contained in the anti-trust laws will
be struad to forbid the existence '
and prevention of fraternal, . labor, . ..
consumer, agricultural or histoncaf
organizations, ordsrs or awrimini..
