Minneapolis, Minn., N ov. 12.— That the convention o f the Am erican Fed eration o f Labor, which opens in this city this morning, w ill go on record In favor o f an aggressive political pol icy seems assured. From all parts o f the country d elega tes are bringing in reports o f success at the polls at the recent election. So fa r these reports show that at least five trade unionists w ill sit in the next Congress, w h ile a great num ber have been elected to the different state Legislatures. M ost pronounced have been the suc cess o f the United M ine W orkers and the Com m ercial T elegra p h ers' Union. T h e miners in the anthracite dltrlct o f Pennsylvania have elected W . B. W ilson and T . D. N ichols to Congress and 10 o f their members to the Btate Legislatu re. T h e telegraphers elected three o f th eir m em bers to Congress in different parts o f the country, including the Fourth D istrict o f Illinois. In Henne pin county, in this state, 31 out o f 39 men indorsed by labor fo r the state Legislatu re and county officers have been elected. T h ese successes have whetted the appetites o f the labor men and it is the gen eral opinion o f the d elegates who have arrived here that the convention w ill devote at least tw o days to discussing a political pro. gram. Presiden t Gompers feels greatly en couraged o ver the situation. H e says h e has received scores o f letters from men outside o f the labor m ovem ent in which th ey declare that they n ever before fu lly understood what the trade unionists o f the country stood fo r in a political way, and expressing sym pathy with their aim s and objects. " I t has been the greatest education al cam paign that organized labor has e ver conducted,” he said tonight.” “ T h e subject is fu lly covered in the report which I w ill submit to the convention tom orrow , but I have no hesitation In saying that the political program o f the E xecu tive Council w ill be indorsed ~by the convention. It is but the beginning o f organized labor’s efforts in the political aren a." One o f the effects o f the labor politi cal program w ill be seen in the com ing m essage o f P residen t R oosevelt to Congress. A ccordin g to same labo officials who have recen tly talked with the President on the subject, the com ing message w ill contain some o f the most radical demands fo r labor that have e v e r been made by a President o f the United States.
