Coatinusd from Page Five.

resent you? You said to the nation. this
Is our representative, our agent; and you
clothed him with authority to go to Wash
ington and act for you and speak for you
and you had right to expect that hs
would do for you and say for You all thai
could justly and truthfully be said-and
thus he represents you: the farmers and
farmers wives of the west clothed in rags
will you endorse him and his nlisrepresenr
atives.
Mr.. Long here read statement made by
a capitalist of West Virginia concern
ing the ideas he had gained of Kansas
from listening to Jerry Simpson s speeches
He and his friends whose money had been
invested in Kansas expected it to be
total loss and Kansas securities were n OF
worth 25 per cent of their face value in
that locality, and had a man come to them
with proposition to sell Kansas stocks,
or with "A scheme for investing money in
Kansas, they would have refused to listen
TO him.
Yes, this gentleman, having visited the
state and seen for himself went away
praising her resources and satisfied that
the statements made by Calamity congress
mdn and speakers in the east are without
foundation.
The man who thinks that these repre-
sensations have had no effect upon our
credit and standing in financial circles has
only TO 90 east and talk with investors
there, when he will find that ola places
whose investments are to be avoided, Kan
sas is regarded as among the worst. And
this sentiment has been created by the
speeches aud writings of the representative
from the Seventh district aud his col
leagues from the state.
To keep our present congressman in his
position Is an endorsement of
him, his assertions and his the
cries. To refuse him re-
election is to assure the people of the coun-
Try that he has misrepresented his constit-
uents and IS not trustworthy. But. not
content with these Misrepresentation our
representative has found II further means
of preventing capital and immigrants from
seeking our district and state. He assures
them that law and order do not exist, thai
life and property are not safe.
Mr.. Simpson Is a member of the COM
mittee on territories, "A report of which
have. The bill under discussion
aud consideration Was that ex-
tending Whitman's law (the laws OF
Oklahoma :. territory over the Indian
country, where outrages against law and
human life were frequent, and Attorney
General Speed OF Oklahoma was in the
witness stand. Mr.. Simpson questioned

Simpson-Are you in favor of extending
white mans law there, so rs to prevent
these crimese
A.-ExactIy.
Simpson-Do you not know, as matter
If Iact. that the law has not prevented
srimes ln"other states. The same condi-
zion of things exists in western Kansas.
People would not move to the 1dian
country because it is not safe Their lives
aud property would be in Constant danger.
Yet the representative from the Seventh
district asserts that the same condition of
a Fair I-fs in L
To that question MIR. Speed says: "No
Sill, don't"
SImpson-lt is a notorious fact.
Speed-That which the gentleman states
is not true. | say that in western Kansas
There is law and order and education.
Ii was left TO man from the new ter
ritory of Oklahoma to defend our Kansas
from the aspersions OF her own representa-
Sive.
How many people have been kept from
Kansas By reading in the reports of this
committee or In the press reports of their
meetings this statement of our congress-
man?
Attention has been called to the things
be has done and said against the interests
OF his state and constituency. If any Que
present can name single thing in its
favor that had been said by their represen-
tative, let him make il known.
A voice: There isn't any body here heard
of it.
You cannot. for as far as l have been
Sble to ascertain he has never uttered n
word or said syllable to help along the
welfare and prosperity of the people of his
people OF his district. Shall this continue?
