working every night for weeks For my m part if It any anyone one wants to nominate me for office o t I C even to that of or president of or the United States I would accent t the nomination Spalding has bas been wired d to lo to see It if his hiM nomination was made mado with his knowl knowledge knowledge edge and consent cons nt No answer has hns been be n received ro elved and I believe the message m has been lost I do not believe that Tom Spalding will stand for Cor that for a min minute minute mm ute Robert Robart Curry expressed the opinion that Spalding had not authorized the use of his name on tho the American party ticket Ho has the tho same Interest he lie has aV alp ways was had for tor organized labor said ald Cur Curry Curr ry r 1 Ho Is a sponsor for tho the Independent labor Jabor ticket 1 believe that his hands are arc clean lean He will be back In time to with withdraw withdraw draw raw from that ticket One of the members of this committee had ad to fight his way down the aisle of the he theatre in which the convention was held eld in order to prevent the presentation of f his name on that ticket I believe that hat If Jr Spalding had been In the city his hisame name ame would have hae never been used Some have ave however accepted their nomination and nd have lobbied In the American party part convention to secure this Hils nomination Curry Makes a Motion Curry then presented a motion that a committee be appointed to wait walt on all members of the federation who were nom nomInees nominees nees on the American party ticket and had md accepted the nomination and ask them hem to withdraw from the ticket and it Ir f they refused to withdraw their names bo ho not placed pieced on the independent labor ticket There were a dozen men who shouted a l second to the motion An amendment was wae wn then th n presented to the effect that any an member who is nominated on the in independent Independent dependent labor ticket may maj accept a nomination on any other ticket A delegate pointed out that the Demo Democratic Democratic Democratic cratic convention will be held subsequent to the tho independent labor convention and If It the Democrats endorse the labor ticket those names that are endorsed will have to be stricken from the labor ticket if Ie the th resolution is 15 lived up to This he declared would give the double cross to the labor ticket Louis Lynn declared that all the par ties should be treated alike The labor party could not make fish of 0 one oue and ana fowl owl of another I If u we cant elect labor representatives on our own ticket we dont want them If the labor Jabor men are ae ar elected on the other tickets they will have hao to do as the party leaders tell them It has been done be fore tore and will be b done again Let it go clean and straight ht from the shoulder that we want no affiliation with any party Dont Represent Federation Alfred Smith declared that the nominees who claimed to represent sent the Federation had no right to accept the nominations without first making their intentions known and appearing before the Federa Fedora tion for endorsement They The had no right to go on that ticket without first coming hero here and protesting against ing an Independent Labor ticket in the tho field They rh y ought to bo ho shut out of the Federation of or Labor I bor We Ye cannot trust thorn them We ye do not want labor agitators men who go about talking of what labor could and should do dowe owe we want the men from fr m the shops and factories from the benches and the lathes laties on our ticket It was suggested sug that the committee draft a set of resolutions staling stating that the labor party parly wanted no endorsement or support from any an other party part We Ye do not want any support but the support of the laboring people We Ye wi will mako make ourselves the laughing stock of or th the theother Other parties If we try to instruct the thu Democratic party convention whom it shall nominate and und whom It shall shaH not nominate In spite of our resolutions they the can endorse our ticket and we can cannot cannot cannot not help ourselves Another member mt suggested that the nominees of the Independent Labor ticket could get around the matter easily enough if they wore vore nominated by the Democratic party by declining the tho nomination If we take our members off orr the American ticket and place them on our own that will be playing plainS into the hands of the tho American party parts We Vo ought to shut them all off ore our ticket said suld a mem member her ber Endorsed Only by Lavery I do not consider that the nominees of the American party who are named as Labor men are arc representatives of or our organization said suld Lynn Who endorsed then them The only en n by b the Federation of or Labor was that famous speech by tho the most Honorable T r Laver Lavery He will be much UCh in iii evidence here Sunday Sunda I understand und Lavery was too shrewd a n man to commit himself In that convention He did not say sa that the Federation of Labor had en endorsed endorsed endorsed those candidates There Ther was not nota a 8 soul in the house that day who did not infer from what Lavery said that the Federation of Labor had endorsed those men who were named Lavery was there thereon on his own hook and was not the representative representative of the Federation Charles VInson said that If the motion prevailed and pressure was brought to bear on the candidates who had been nominated by the American party part and they were forced to resign from the tick ticket ticket et the charge would be made that tho the Federation was abrogating the rights of the citizen E T Gregory moved that the motion to appoint a committee be laid on the thc table Tho The first vote was doubtful and a second vote yote was ordered On the second vote the motion was passed and an the inal motion was fabled It Il was suggested that all nfl members of all unions be bo notified to be present early Carly at the Sunday Sunda morning meeting In order to prevent prent the packing of oe the con convention convention convention by
