Mr. Sam Grnners had tens of thousands thous-ands of labor votes in Kansas with which to obliterate Governor Allen because in the coal strike .the governor mined the coal to save the people of Kansas from freezing to death and afterward got laws passed to prevent the recurrence of such sacrifices of the public's comfort, health and safetf. But Governor Allen isn't obliterated. ob-literated. He is still going to be right on the job with a good fat majority. Mr. Sam Gompers had hundreds of thousans of labor votes in New York to deliver to Mr. Cox. But in the whole state of New York with perhaps a full million of women voting, Mr. Cox polled only o meagre, pitiful half million votes. In the City of New York alone the Democratic Demo-cratic party, without the assistance of Mr. Sam Gompers and the Plumb leaguers, leag-uers, and with no women voting, has been able to do alost as well as that. Mr. Sam Gompers had his ax sharpened for Senator Sinoot, and Mr. Plumb came to Utah to hold daily sessions with labor in the hopes of leaving Senator Smoot at home. But the people saw to it that Mr. Gompers and Mr. Plumb did not have, their way and Senator Smoot, as Congressman Con-gressman Welling so nicely stated it, scored a mighty triumph. Mr. Sam Gompers had millions of labor la-bor votes in the United States to deliver to Mr. Cor. But they didn't show up anywhere any-where in the ballot boxes. And Mr. Sam Gompers never has been able to convert his political bullying into ballots from the day he fiist tried it years ago. on Representative Repre-sentative Littlefield in Maine, down to his latest fizzle in trying to Gomperize the American nation. It is as much to the shininc cred: f Amerian labor, organized as well as unorganized, unor-ganized, that it cannot be led to the pulls iiij a Sam Gompers halter as it is tp the grotesque discredit of Mr. Sam Gripers that he keeps on with his braggart i'lrcat that he can do such an ignoble thirir to American labor, but always on the (lav of election, blows up like a windbag.
