Wright in his can didacy for re-election as president of the Illinois Federation of Labor." The league also endorsed the Fox McLean faction for president and vice-president of the Stonemasons' and Bricklayers' Union as opposed to the slate headed by Simon O'Don nell's chief lieutenant, O'Shaughnes sy, who was to have been assistant editor-in-chief of the Hearst's scab labor edition.
