Mont. R. Powell is now in the midst
of his campaign for the democratic
nomination for congress from the 5th
District. Less than two weeks ago
he was persuaded by the combined ef-
forts of the laboring men, farmers
and many business men to get in the
fight. He has served as a leader in
the union labor ranks of Oklahoma for
years, having been president of the
Oklahoma City Trades Council and a
delegate and factor in every labor
convention held in Oklahoma since
statehood. Powell did not want to
run for congress. Like every othev
tradesman who works by the day for
a living he did not feel that he was
in a position to cross sworas' with the-
thousands of dollars that the other
candidates can command. He was
forced into it by ' the boys who are
tired of voting for men, whose sole
ambition is to dispense public patron-
age and run a political machine, aside
from drawing the salary that goes
with the job.
Mont hates duplicity; stands for
the genuine in men, and business and
public affairs. It was only by ap-
pealing to this prejudice that he was
induced to make the race. Mont is a
fighting, all-wool union-made article.
If he is elected to congress he will
belong only to the farmer, laborer;
the man who produces; the class and
the interests that put him in the race,
and to which "he has always belonged
in the past. There are few voters,
barring the class that hold stock in
corporations whose prosperity de-
| pends upon the friendship of officials
I who will permit them to exploit the
I public, he possesses every qualifica-
tion and more moral courage than the
! combined bunch who oppose him. Al-
though he was pushed into the race
at the last minute, the prospects are
that he will rally the support of the
very best element of the democratic
party and be nominated by an excep
tionally large majority.
Powell is this week campaigning In
Murray county where he is meeting
with much encouragement.

an industry that demands the hardest
work ot its employees?
4th: But finally, for unknown rea-
son, Mr. Samuels exempted the cotton
mills from the provisions of the 54
hours per week. Shades of all child
labor workers! Have we fought and
struggled all these years to get more
humane conditions for cotton mill
workers to begin at tills late date to
give them special privileges?
The trouble with Mr. Samuels' Bill
was that It was written by some one j
absolutely ignorant of the conditions
surrounding mills and factories, work-
ing women and children. If, as was
stated in the New Orleans press, this
Bill had the endorsement of the Louis-
iana Federation of Labor it is a sec-
ond evidence of the lack of ability of
I hat organization to legislate for the
working women and children of this
State.
There are other objections to the
Bill but I fear to make my explana
tion too long if I bring forward any
more. 1 feel confident these four ma-
jor objections will suffice to justify
my position. Having studied the
child labor laws of every State in the
t'nion. as well as the laws of all for-
eign countries, having attended ev-
ery National Child Labor Meeting
held in this country in the past eight
years, being personally acquainted
and in close touch with every woman
and child labor worker in the coun-
try, and President of the Southern
conference on Woman and Child La-
bor, I do not think I will be accused
of unjust criticism when I state that
the Samuels Bill, to say the least,
was impractical and unwise.
Sincerely yours,
JKAN M. GORDON.
