Stones defeat that he voted for the "Dingley
Bill'' which placed tariff hides, against
which the tanning interests were working.
The fact of the matter isthat Mr. Stone bitterly
fought the tariff on hides both in and out ofcom-
mttee, bringing to bear against it every influence
he could command, just he fought tor and
gained an increase in the tariff on lumber which
so materially benefited his district
He voted for the "Dingley Bill" a whole, be-
cause the people, by an over wheming voice, had
demanded a change of policy from that of free
trade to protection. He could not place him
self on record against policy that the people
were demanding because he could not accom-
plish for his district all that he desired. Would
Sibley have accomplished as mnch? No! He
would have accomplished nothing and in add-
tion to having tariff on hides we would have
had lighter tariff on lumber which would have
practically killed our lumber interests This is
but one comparisonthere are dozens more which
could be quoted as reasons for Mr.. stones re-
election did space permit
The statement is made that Sibley money is
turning the political sentiment of the county
against the Republican ticket The most forcible
way for the Republican voters to refute the
statement is by rolling up a handsome majority
for the entire Republican ticket.
Vote the democratic ticket and you give coun-
tenance to the statement vote the Republican
ticket and you give the lie to the individual, or
party, who intimates that you place CONNER
cial value upon your right ofsuffrage.
The Republicans of this district have the salts
faction of knowing they have done, and are do
ing, nothing to debauch politics.
Their candidates stand squarely upon their
records. They do not ask the voter to barter
away his right of suffrage for q mess of potage.
But they DO ASK HIM TO CALMLY AND
CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE ISSUES and
the records of the respective candidates, and
then cast his vote as his Judgement dictates is
right and for the best interests of the county If
the voters do this Republican success is assured
as Republcansm stands for clean and honest
government of Nation, State and county.
CHARLES NJ. THOMAS.
Charley" Thomas strongly appeals to the
voters being the proper man to elect for
County Treasurer. Beginning as n day laborer
in the woods he has, by careful, energetic man
agement of his resources, added to his numbering
and other interests until he stands today one of
the substantial men of the county, and an ex-
ample of what an honest and energetic man can
accomplish
He did not sit idly waiting for opportunities
(or public offce3 he created the opportunities
and to this fact alone he is indebted for getting
ahead in the world.
Except for the covert reflections of political
opponents, not harsh word can be uttered
against Mr.. Thomas. Butmany are the generous
acts accredited to him. In DriflwOod borough
where he resided for years, his one-time neigh
bors take pride in testifying to his honesty, up
rightness and generosity.
When mans neighbors, people who know
him thoroughly through daily intercourse,
testify to his worth, he is good man to tie to
when the people have Offices of public trust to
fill.
He does not go around extending the political
glad hand' only when a political campaign is in
progress. His right hand offellowship and aid is
extended to his fellow men at ALL times.
Being man Of thorough business meth hods,
whose honesty and reliability are beyond ques-
ton, he deserves, and should receive every Re.
publican vote in the county well as the vote
of every man, irrespective of party, who believes
that public office is a public trust and that only
trustworthy men should be elected to them
