COMMUNICATIONS 
(Continued from first page, third column) 
Mr. Schofield has been running 
_ through the “senate journal’ and 
“congressional record” with a fine 
tooth comb, in search of some flaw 
or mistake in Mr. Gardner’s record. 
He finally appears with a smile like 
that exhibited by the messenger boy 
who discovered the oyster in the 
boarding house stew, and cries out 
that Mr. Gardner is an enemy of 
labor because he voted against the 
eight hour bill as applied to ue 
Panama Zone. 
Mr. Gardner explained why a 
voted in this way on this bill, and I 
think his explanation perfectly sat- 
isfactory. 
Can Mr. Schofield explain why he 
is now so zealous in the labor 
cause in far away Panama, when he 
did not lift his voice or his pen in 
behalf of the laborers in the Ipswich 
mills, when their wages were cut 
10 per cent., and a strike ensued? 
Not a line in his paper in reference 
to the poor American laborer at 
that time. Only a few words ad- 
monishing the strikers to keep quiet 
an dnot make a disturbance. Sim- 
ply a slight effort to pacify and no 
effort to gratify. Today in Ipswich 
the Poles, Finns, and other foreign- 
ers are allowed to work right 
through the noon hour, and over 
time, while the American laborers 
take their rest and recreation, and 
he utters not a word of protest, not 
a line in defence of the rights of the 
American laborer. Why? 
This is a question that rasps very 
hard on his pocket nerve. He gets 
a large percentage of his income 
from the Ipswich mils. Today he 
has more printing from the Ipswich 
mills than his office can turn out, 
and he is sending the work out of 
town. I think we can all see that 
this independent candidate is as 
safe and staple as a weather vane. 
Can we afford to pin the destinies 
of this district to the tail of his kite 
that is wafted by every wind that 
blows,—this man who sets his sails 
to catch every wind that will waft 
him on to the goal of his own per- 
sonal ambition pouring forth the 
“Lamentations of Jeremiah” over 
the poor Chinaman in Panama, and 
crying “Peace, Peace,’ when there 
is no peace to the American laborers 
in his own bailiwick. 
Let us speak well of the bridge 
that brings us safely over and vote 
for the man of deeds rather than 
the man of words,—Augustus P. 
Gardner.

To the Editor of the Transcript: 
As a Republican who resides in 
the Eleventh Congressional District 
I have read with interest Rev. Dr. 
Berle’s charges in the Essex Dis- 
trict, and while I have no fault to 
find with a clergyman who takes the 
stump and denounces the corrupt 
and lavish use of money for carry- 
ing elections, I wonder why Dr. 
Berle’s conscience is so much 
aroused against Mr. Gardner, when 
only thre weeks 
ago he was

speaking from the same platform 
with Eugene N. Foss, who has so 
handled the Eleventh District that 
“no poor man need apply” there for 
the honor of representing it, as a 
Republican. It is understood in all 
political circles that Foss has put 
out more money in that district for 
political purposes than has ever 
been paid in any other congression- 
al district in this State. Dr. Berle 
must have known all about it, and 
yet he is not known to have lifted 
his voice against it but on the con- 
trary has done all he could to pro- 
mote Fos:;’s political fortunes.
