the lead. The very moment they
utter these words they have in mind
the truth that VIM. l.. Wilson took
from that Trust its millions of
bounty aud then put sugar on the
free list.
Gordon Dayton, Dr.. Laaham
and Geo. e. Sturgiss have each
been guilty of telling tbfs lie to the
people in Preston county. they
know each of them (unless ii is
Lanham. who don't seem to know
anythng) that Wilson opposed the
Sugar Trust from first TO last.
And to prove that, even as the bill
passed with small tariff on it, it
is far worse for the Trust than the
Mckinley Bill, the Trust has gone
to the Republican parry. With the
fact generally known that the Sugar
Trust is fighting the Wilson Bill
these men go around telling that
WILSON gave a tariff on sugar be-
cause it was Southern Trust.
Will that kind Of lying deceive
the sensible people of Preston {?
We think not. If Gordon Dayton
cannot establish his claim 20 office
by showing some craftsmanship; if
when expected to make an address
he can do no better than tell few
four-year-old jokes as he did in
Hngwood Thursday night. he
would save votes by staying at home
The truth is Gordon is u dzzle
and his friends know it. He would
not be heard of in Congress if he
could get there. Lanham sad here
that he would rather have IL tobacco
sign in Congress- than to nave VIII
son there, and some of the Repub-
llcans said after hearing Dayton
tell tales Thursday night that it
was no wonder LInham wanted
Dayton elected. for he would just
about equal IA Tobacco Sign" if
elected, for all he could do there
would be TO quietly fiji very small
space.
Oar townsmpn, Neil j. For'ney
lntroduc cd Dayton and he did it in
such scholarly manner, and Mr..
Fortney makes such statesman
like appearance, that when Dayton
came out looking like he knew
nothing and kept the floor so long
talking like he knew nothing. that
people wondered how such fellow
as Dayton came TO be nominated
oyer man like Fortney. Any
man wno is hating between two
opinions as to whether he will vote
for Dayton or Wilson, let him go
and hear Dayton and If after that
he thinks Dayton can defend the
interests Of the Second District, he
will surprise The ARGUS.
The truth is the Republican can
say noshing truthfully of Mr.. Will
son that will injure him. So far
as was in bis power he has kept all
his promises to his friends. In the
Court House here two years ago
Mr.. Wilson told the people tile
Mckinley law was mining the
country, that all the farmer had to
sell was bound to keep on declining
under such law and that very
hard times were at hand unless that
law was repealed. 1t was hot Mr..
| Wilson's fault that it was not re.
pealed sooner and every one knows
who wants to know that TIE times
did continue to get harder until he
Wilson Bill was passed, and that
ever since then business Of all kinds
has been getting better. Every
fair minded man knows that the
panic had struck Us before Mr..
M. Wilson ever commenced to
prepare bill. Mr.. Wilson has
done bis duty anC the people will
rally to ais support notwIthstaud.
ing the fact that Steve Elkins.
I Henry G.. Davis and all monopolists
arc pouring out money by the tens
OF thousands 10 defeat him. n
Mr.. Wilson's Bill is not in favor Of
the monopolists, il AL money kings
are fighting HIM on account Of it,
that is conclusive proof that The
Bill must be in favor OF tho poor
| man.
Think we'll, honest voter, before
you cast your vote aud don't be
bought or intlmldated into voting
FOR the Trusts To wbjcb Gordor
