ADDRESS OF M. J. MANNING
»
To the Democracy of the 2nd Congres
sional District of Arkansas
To the Democrats of the Second Congressional District of Arkansas:
I am a candidate for the nomination for Congress from the
Second Congressional District, subject to the action of the Demo
cratic party. 1 respectfully and earnestly solicit your support and
influence, giving you my personal assurance in the outset of my
highest appreciation of your favorable consideration in the contest.
I pledge myself to give to the people of the district the best
service of which I am capable at all times, promising in advance
to work earnestly, constantly and persistently for the passage of
such measures through Congress as will best subserve and promote
the interests of the people of the entire district and that I shall, by
no act, give cause to any of my friends to regret the confidence
reposed in me.
I am a citizen of Monroe county, and have resided here about
twenty five years. I feel at liberty to say that I enjoy the confi
dence and respect of the people of all classes in my county. They
are my friends and are for me. 1 would not solicit the support of
strangers in this or any other contest if this were not true. The
people of my county and Senatorial District have on former oc
casions given public testimony of their regard for me personally,
as well as their willingness to vouch for my integrity and ability.
It is with great pleasure entertained by me and an occasion
remembered with pardonable pride, that in 1899 1 was elected
President of the State Senate without opposition, which official,
public endorsement by my colleagues in the Senate was a compli
ment never having been bestowed upon a presiding officer of that
body before, and is evidence of high degree of the confidence in
me, and my ability and integrity entertained by them.
At home I have so lived and conducted myself as to merit and
receive at the hands of my neighbors, those who see and know my
daily life, that uniform manifestation of confidence and respect
which bespeaks a trust unreserved, that is a source of unspeakable
pleasure to me.
I seek your support as a Democrat upon my merits only. 1
feel that I am capable of discharging the duties of this important
and reponsible office. A sober, faithful, conscientious discharge of
the duties of the office is what I shall give you. It shall be my
purpose to serve the entire people. No man is worthy to be chos
en as a representative in Congress who is unwilling to serve the
entire people, with absolute impartiality.
I feel, however, that the agricultural interests, the toiling and
wealth producing masses of our people, and commercial interests
of our country have a right to demand and to receive at the hands
of Congress all possible legislation that will protect them against
the ravages of the combines, trusts, speculations in futures, the
worst form of gambling, and kindred evils that have heretofore
seemed to have so little attention from Congress.
My observation is that the wealthy classes of our nation have
friends in Congress at all times. They need no favors by way of
legislation. Unbridled freedom is wrhat the millionaires, the gi
gantic combinations of corporate wealth, the trusts and Wall street
want. They need no assistance and resist, with remarkable sue
cess, every effort to check them in their conspiracies to enrich
themselves and to further impoverish the farmer and other labor
ing classes.
ii nonoreu wuri me eiecuou 10 congress, i snau uo an m my
power to secure the enactment into law through Congress such
measures as are desired by the agricultural people and laboring
masses of the country, that will best protect them and advance
their interests. I am unconditionally and unreservedly with our
farmers and wealth producing masses, who are the sinews of the
very existence of our government. I am equally as empthatic in
my opposion to any legislation that is against their interests. I
am not on speaking terms with John 1). Rockefeller, J. Pierpont
Morgan, Carnegie, nor any other man or set of men who have ac
cumulated their millions chiefly by means of Congressional legis
lation. I am in entire sympathy and accord with all measures now
introduced by our Senators and Representatives in Congress for
the purpose of destroying effectively the trusts, and preventing
gambling in futures.
I am, of course, in entire accord with the time-honored doc
trines and policies of the Democratic party upon all questions and
shall render all aid within my power and at my command to have
them crystalized into laws. The improvement of the White River
and its tributaries, and other rivers in our district, is of paramount
interest to our citizens, and the greatest possible assistance
through appropriations by Congress shall receive unstinted sup
port at my hands. The reclaiming of overflowed lands in our
river bottoms, is, in my opinion, a duty that Congress owes to us
as much as to the territory along the Mississippi and other rivers.
The completion of the work of improving our rivers for commer
cial purposes, and as a means of transportation, I shall cheerfully
bend my energies to accomplish, by urging the appropriation by
Congress of money therefor.
As a representative in Congress, the wishes of the people' in
my district would be respected by me upon all questions, for, as a
servant, of the people, the voice of the people should be heard and
respected.
TJ_ _i. i . . i i
I uu nut appeal 10 me young men as a class 10 support me,
nor to the aged class alone do I turn for the nomination. I am
neither a child, nor old. I am in the prime of life and have recol
lections of youth still fresh in my memory that permit me to stand
among the sons of our fathers who still live, and yet I have had
sufficient experience in my chosen profession and in business
affairs, private and public, to justify me in saying that I am not
so very young that I would not be fairly well equipped at the out- f
set of my career as a member of the House of Representatives of

Noted Oregon Statesman Restored to Health
on Recent Eastern Trip.
Hon. Shiller B. Herman, distin
guished statesman and legislator of
Portland. Oregon, who was recently on
an eastern trip, is among those strong
ly in favor of L. T. Cooper, in the dis
cussion over Cooper and his medicines,
which has raged for the past year in
cities visited by the young man on his
educative campaigns, as he calls them.
Cooper was explaining his new the
ories and medicines to Boston people
during the Oregonian’s visit to that
1 city, and in a recent interview Mr.
Herman said: “My trip east accom
plished more for me than I ever be
lieved possible. It has actually been
j the means of restoring my health.
While in Boston I heard a great d£al
about this man Cooper and his medi
cines, and one morning I talked with
a Boston banker who told me that he
had been relieved by Cooper’s medi
cines after ten years’ chronic dyspep
sia. For the past twenty years I have
been a fearful sufferer with nervous
dyspepsia. It has been so bad that it
ail but forced me to resign from the
legislature.
“I w«9 feeling wretchedly that morn*
ing, and I made up my mind to try
the medicine. I had seen leading phy
sicians without number both East and
West They had been unable to help
me in the least, and I no more be
lieved this Cooper medicine could help
me than it could bring a dead maa
back to life. I really don’t know why
I bought it. It was like a drowning
man clutching at a straw.
“To make a long st ry short, it has
been astonishingly successful in my
case. Today I am enjoying a sound
stomgtch and perfect health f,r the
first time in twenty years. I can eat
heartily without the slightest inconve
nience afterward. I have a fine appe
tite, and sleep well. I am no longer
moody and depressed, and my nervous
ness has entirely disappeared.
“Any roan who has chronic dyspep
sia owes it to his family to try thia
medicine.”
In all our experience as druggists,
we have never seen anything to sur
pass the famous Cooper preparations,
