Campbell's Attitude on Public
Questions Indorsed at Every
Place he Speaks
Hon. Tom Campbell, candidate
for congress, on Thursday of last
week addressed an appreciative
audience at the school-house. A
goodly number of representative
people were present who gave the
speaker very close attention and
frequent applause.
Mr. Campbell took up the bills
introduced in congress by his op
ponent, Mr. Oldfield, and discussed
their relative merits as compared
with the interests of the people.
He spent considerable time in ex
plaining and criticising the “Ark
ansas Sunk Land Bill” which bill
w'as introduced by his opponent at
request of Senator Davis, and stat
ed that the passage of this bill
would have taken from hundreds
of Arkansas settlers the little
homes they have built in the for
est and given the land to a rich
corporation not a resident of the
state.
Mr. Campbell also stated that he
wasinfavorofcuttingdown the ex
penses of the government, of mak
ing retrenchment whereby the
people who have too often been
robbed by the unsalable dema
gogues, might be benefited; of a
more equitable division of the ap
propriations for internal improve
ment than in the past.
Mr. Campbell promised that if
he was elected he would introduce
a bill in Congress providing for an
annual appropriation of $50,
000,000 for the construction and
maintenance of the country high
ways to be equally divided with
every state in the union, and that
effort wTould be made to obtain
the money for this great and bad
ly needed improvement from a re
duction of appropriations for less
needed | matters and without in-1
creasing the already burdensome1
taxation. The speech well received
and created a favorable impres-l
sion.—Smithville Homecrofter.

MAINE IS SAFE
FOR 60V. WILSON |
Representative McGillicuddy
Says Delegation Vs/ill Be for
New Jersey Man.
KO IRSTfiUCTIONS EXPECTED
Democrats of That State Believe
Surest Method for Their Party
to Achieve Victory Is by
Nominating the Governor.
Maine is another state that ean be
considered safe for the nomination of
Governor Woodrow Wilson for the
presidency, according to the assurance
of Representative l aniel G. illi
euddv of Maine, who has come to be ,
considered one of the ablest in' in
the house in the short time dince the
sweeping Democratic victories In his
stale caused uis election to the Sixty
second congress and that of a Demo
cratic governor and two United States
senators. With Governor Wilson as
the choice of the national Democracy
for the president.', the Maine con
gressman believes that his state will
give the party its electoral vote.
It is the confident opinion of Con
gressman McGillicuddy that a major
ity of the Democrats of Maine will
indorse Governor Wilson for the pres
idential nomination, notwithstanding
the fact that New England has a can
didate whose name will be presented
to the Baltimore convention.
uninstructea, out bate.
"Maine, will not instruct its dele
gation to the Baltimore convention,”
said Mr. McGillicuddv in a statement
at Washington, “but Governor Wil
son’s friends can count on Maine's
vote when the balloting begins. I
have sounded the sentiment of the
people of my district and of the state
generally and I am convinced that the
people are for Wilson.
“Maine Democrats have tasted vic
tory in their state elections and they
are anxious to see their party triumph
in the national contest. They believe
that the surest method for the party
to achieve victory in November is to
nominate Governor Wilson. Wilson
can win. the people of my state be
lieve, and that is the first question
they ask in selecting their candidate.
Surer Victor Than Foss.
“Governor Foss of Massachusetts is
a capable man and a high type of
Democrat, in my opinion. He is the
presidential size. And he has a con
siderable following among Maine vot
ers Apart from those who support
b.'m because he is a New Englander,
Governor Foss i now eeeond in the
race so far as the Democrats of my
state are concern* d. A safe majority
of them are convinced, however, that
with Governor Wilson as the stand
ard bearer the party will be in better
fighting trim than with any of the
other men in the field nominated.
“Personally I regard Governor Wil
son as the best equipped man in the
race for the Democratic nomination.
He is a man of sound principles and
certain strength and he can make a
better fight than any other Democrat.
I believe he can draw more votes
from the independent wings of both
parties than any o.ner man in the
country. With Wilson nominated 1
would have no fear for Democratic
victory.”
Believe Always in Right.
Sometimes when you are wern and
weak with the struggle; when it
seems that justice is a dream, that
honesty and loyalty and truth count
for nothing, that the devil is the only
good paymaster; when hope grows
dim and flickers, then is the time
when you must tower In the great
sublime faith that right must pre
vail, then must you throttle these
imps of doubt and despair, you must
master yourself to master the world
round you. This is conquest; this
:s what counts. From Self-Control by
William George Jordan.
