UTAHS RAZ ARTIST SUPREME and without equivocation rocked a senatorial chair, to succeed himself, subject to the mandate of the King, junior senator from Utah, successful razzia artist who ever candidate ic state convention, August 11. senator has displayed more diffidence and a bit more unior . out the glad news, than a widow in stating her And it aking application for her fifth wedding license. after his publicity man at Washington discovered the pro-tth- at King, alone, of all the numerous Democratic sena- oes, was the embodiment of all that the great American liomas Jefferson, stood for in national and international at it was deemed safe to announce his willingness to accept in giving -- . King was as shy as a debutante in making ion of his senatorial job, everybody in Utah i uous rom disclaimers. the real facts as they have trickled down to us from government, uncamouflaged and unexpurgated, it generally connoted that Senator King registers as about persistent obstructionist' in the chamber and that his whole purpose is to aid the importers of cheap foreign made foster and develop German dye interests in preference to merican industries and to plunge the United States into ptu scrap with Mexico. spect to his persistent efforts to protect importers of lade goods and to stampede the nation into a fight with tor to the south, King may be said to have gained national d is, indubitably, entitled to national recognition for his y of legislative ability of a negative and Inflammable quality. much as Senator King is heir to the mantle of Thomas and has become the sole instrument of defense in people as against predatory and avaricious American nen it yet appears to be an entirely new and transcendent lr junior law maker and one likely to load him up with such k of obstructive tactics, that he may not be able to get e h) personally accept his return ticket from the hands 1 seat of . ty. atkr which way the Kingly aspirations for another whack Y Jtorial seat may slump, here are a few facts regarding the doing his damndest to defeat, in the interest of afore-er- s and German dye makers which constitute illuminating, resting, reading for even the King adherents : n by the laboring people in this country is becoming n early enactment of a protective tariff. No amount of & by international bankers and importers of ft s argument nor the cacophonous howls of Democrats like Senator in-a- s L . . d ticket formal request knew where he cause the ceaseless publicity alarms and the propaganda big-ily from the national capitol regarding his assumed the: nation, indicated what was to follow, despite bland King, has servefd to delude them. Evidence of this has been furnished to the senate finance committee in letters which labor representatives have sent to members of this committee. These letters set forth that in the interest of thousands of American workers the enactment of an American tariff is paramount and should be hastened. Such representation as has been made to the members of the finance committee include citations from the United Hat Workers, Litho- graphers, the machinists union, workers in the glass industry, who find themselves more than 60 per cent idle because of importations, from European countries, where an average wage of 14 cents an hour obtains as against an average wage of 80 cents in this country; textile-anwall paper block print cutters all of whom are now idle because of German importations where a weekly wage of approximately $5 is paid as against a wage of $36 to American workers ; furniture workers, more than half of whom are idle and who also note a technical, evasion of our. laws, in that imported furniture comes in knocked down! thereby being classed as unfinished material and taking a much lower, rate than the finished product ; the woven wire workers, who state that the wages they would receivq if employed, would be six. time as great as the rate paid in England, France and Germany, and that they are now nearly all idle. .With the fires of industry banked in nearly half of our industrial establishments, as the result of the Underwood tariff, it is but a mere repetition of former statements to say that the conditions complained of by the workers in the crafts enumerated prevail in this country every time a free trade law becomes operative. In view of the foregoing facts, as outlined by the organized workers of the nation to the number of thousands, and their pleas for speedy relief to members of the senate finance committee, having direct connection with Senator Kings whole souled purpose to work in behalf of importers of foreign goods and to this late attempt to divert attention from his vicarious efforts to tear down our national industrial structure, through reference to the revered Memory of l r , . . Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence and a president of the nation he helped to found,- - it appears to be the plain duty of his party to turn a deaf ear to his renomination hints, flavored, as they are, with the cant and jargon of a swaggering, professional politician. A vote for Senator King should he make the nomination grade is a vote for the German dye makers and the profiteering importers of foreign made goods. King is the champion of hard times, the advocate of turmoil and the traducer of a nations rights to frame its own laws without aid or suggestion from foreign potentates; King is a blantant free trader and the protagonist of a species of national decay that runs concurrent with this oft refuted free trade doctrine. King has proven he is willing to be the puppet of the international money power back of the smudge and vicious campaign' to internationalize this country.
