SENSE NOW OR NEVER.

Chester Long. the Republican candi-
date for congress in this district, Is
making a sensible campaign. On all
sides he has been met with great crowds.
His speeches have been vigorous and
manly and, above ali, practical.
He will win. He will win because he
is the exponent of the idea of protection
American industries and the free
coinage of silver in this district.
This is the largest district tut one in
tie United States. 1t Is looked upon IN
Washington as the representative Kan
sas congressional district. When the
public man at Washington wants to
know how Kansas feels on this or that
hey go to the Congressman from the
Seventh district and ask him. The
great is-ue this fall has been that of
tariff. 1t has more than ever occupied
he minds of all men. 1t is being
thoroughly discussed in the Seventh
district as it Is in every district in the
United States. Congressman Simpson
is radical on one side. He is for wiping
Out dI lilo d ICpCstA siOi
and for the sale of all custom houses
forthwith. Chester Long believes in
building a wall around this country and
keeping out the cheap competing pro-
ducts of European countries that our
own industries may thrive.
Plainly then, these two men represent
the TWO sides of the contest. Mr.. Simp-
son is with Mr.. Wilson of West Virginia
and his election must of necessity be an
Endorsement of Mr. Wilson. Mr.. Long
is with Dir. Mckinley and his election
must of necessity mean that the Seventh
district indorses, not Mr. Wilson, but atr
Mckinley.
The tariff issue is the predominating
one. The Republicans are fiock!ng about
Mckinley. They are going down into
Wilson's district and fighting him there.
The whole country Is watching the con,
test.
The success of AIr. Wilson means, ac-
cording 10 himself and Mr. Cleveland,
further tariff reform-further tariff
tinkering. His defeat means rest from
tariff fooling. Or, in other words, the
success of Mr.. Wilson-that is, his in
dorsement all over the country next
month, means that the tariff Will be
again-Uhat the same old bust
ness stagnation and industrial depres-
sion will continue. The Endorsement of
protection will re-asSure industry and
commerce and prosperity will be has
tened. Do you believe this is an idle
statement made in partisan blindness?
Read the financial columns of all
newspapers-Republican. Democratic or
independent papers. Read Bradstreet's
and Dun's trade reports. Go ask bus
mess man of ability. Write to your
relatives in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, and
ask them why the chimneys of the fac
tories are smokeless. Read Mr.. Wilson's
London speech-you will find 1t in the
Democratic papers-and See for your
self how his remarks about further tar
i'll reform were received by the English |
peers.
Vote sensibly. If the Seventh district
Of Kansas wants to be put down on the |
election returns as indorsing Mr.. Wilson
and the bull, which according to Mr..
Cleveland is ''perfidious and dishono--
able" 1T will send Congressman Simpson
Oack again.
We may regard other things as issues
'ut here, but The United States will take |
sr. Simpsons reelection Is Endorsement |
IF that pin-headed snob Wilson who dis |
yraced his country by mixing his slob-
Jers with lot of lordly imbeciles.
