The combined influence of the Twin City labor organizations appear t o be one of the most serious things Senator Washburn inunt contend wi th in bit* contest for re-election. There are members of the Hennepin delegation whose constituencies are" such tha t they feel themselves politically unable t o afford offense t o the united voice of laboring men pro­testing against Washburn's re-elec­tion. There is already a breach In the solidarity of the Hennepin membership for Washburn, and any further ploughing off might be suc­ceeded by a general scamper to cover. —Penny Press
