Can't Beat Neece.

The Freeport Daily Bulletin, of the
sixth congressional district, has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to the congress-
ional situation in this district:
Despite their experiences of the past
four years the republicans of the eleventh
Illinois district have commenced to quar-
srel over the nomination for congress
Fortwo successive terms the nomination
has proven but an empty honor. and the
result is likely to be the same this year as
Mr. Neece will undoubtedly be again the
democratic candidate. Niece has proven
that he possesses remarkable strength
among the people and it is very likely that
he can beat any opposing candidate even
with the republicans united. But divided
rs they are into the McClaughry and
Marsh factions Mr. Neece's reelection
seems almost certain.

Democrntic Convention-Looking for q
Man in wisconsin TO Beat Rusk-Notes.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept i6-The members OF
the American Agricultural and Dairy asso-
citation met Wednesday in their seventh an
nual conu ntion, in this city. After few
preliminarios, Mr. Joseph A Reall opened
the convention with a long speech, in which
he congratulated dairymen on the passage Of
the oleomargarine law, saying its import
apce was enhanced by the fact that it was
the first contest for national legislation ever
waged by the agricultural interests, and that
it resulted in a victGry-a victory secured
simply by organization.
Referring to the tariff laws he declared
that it was to the interests of all the farmers
t SEE that they were directed to the advance
mout aud protection of American
industries and so framed as to give
the farmer the best home markets for
produce. Then there would be Just enough
protection and similar amount of free trade.
Continuing, the speaker said immigration
should be regulated and confined to an &C
coptable class, pledged to become citizens.
The land laws shold he revised and sales In
large bodies to aliens prohibited A reason
able and practical regulation of inter state
commerce was necessary, and the Cullom bill
for the establishment of national railroad
commission, now pending In congress, would
seem sufficient to accomplish this purpose
In conclusion the speaker urged the farmers
and those interested III the agricultural inter
ests Of the country to see that their vote was
cast this fall, regardless Of party, for the
members of congress who voted for the
oieomargarine bill, and in case any were de
featel for denomination to select the best of
the two candidates in the field. "A majority
of the national congress" he added, land a
true friend in the executive chair are with us,
and let us be sure to keep both there"
