In his recent campaign speeches,
Congressman Simpson has made the
charge that Chester L Long, while IN
congress, voted against the construc-
ton of the Kentucky and Kearsarge.
He names \ page of the Congressional
Record as showing this vote. His state
ment of facts is false. The co1struc-
ton of the Kentucky and Kearsarge
was authorized Lcfore Mr.. Long becs me
a member of congress The citation to
the Congressional Record given by Mr..
Simpson has no reference whatever to
the Kentucky or Kearsarge.
The Wisconsin. Illinois and Alab ama,
none of thera yet completed. are tho
only battleships whose construction
was authorized while Mr.. Long was in
congress. He voted for the bill auth
orizing their construction.
MIR. Long did not enter congress un-
til December, 1885,, and second
thought will convince any intelligent
man that no battleship upon whose
construction he voted is yet completed
or launched.

Hon. w. F. Brown, Brown Of Pratt, "
published q rather spicy open letter in
last weeks Pratt Republican over his
own signature. Mr.. Brown is known
all over Kansas as the leader of the
Populist majority in the last house of
representatives. No one ever ques-
toned his Populism- He was the
champion Of the maximum freight rate
law. He lays the defeat ri that pet
Populist measure to Jerry Simpsons
door. As chairman of the hous. com
mittee on railroads, he WAS in u position
to know the facts.
In his letter, after reciting the oft
repeated declarations in Populist plat
forms in favor of q maximum freight
rate law, and his election to the lcgia-
lsture on that issue. he says:
II boldly took the ground from the
frst that the old maximum rate law
was the one we had gone before the
people on and hsd demanded their sup
port for it. and since they had given it
to such measure, that it was our duty
to redeem our pledges and enact this
bill into law.

tee on railroads. announced from the
very first my absolute dissemination to
report the old maximum rate law for
passage. and. gentlemen of tho Populist

tive in bringing about the defeat Of
thst measure than Jerry Simpson, and
it Is useless for anyone to claim that
this fact was unknown at the time, for
in letter dated at Pratt, February 10,
1897, B. d. Crawford opens up with the
following significant paragraph:
"'Hon. W. F. Brown. Topeka, Kaa
'Dear Sir:-From tho remarks Of
Jerry that l see in tho newspaper 1
Judge he does not like your work in the
legislature. After his expression in
favor of the usurers who have been
robbing our people it may be to your
advantage"
"Now, if Mr.. Crawford could see so
much in the papers, take it that
others could do the same.
Gentlemen, you will doubtless re-
member that ON December 2. 1898, /
published an article in the Pratt Coun-
ty Union in which l openly charged
Jerry Simpson with having worked
against the passage of the maximum
freight rate law. My aim was to give
Mr.. Simpson plenty of time to explain
his actions. Have any Of you ever
heard his explanations? Have any Of
you ever heard of his attempting any
explanation? H; We any of you ever
heard of any man who knows anything
of the facts denying that Mr.. Simpson
did the things charged?
''In August or September of the pres
ent year again charged Mr.. Simpson
with having assumed the role of q pro-
fessional lobbyist in Topeka in 1897.
Have any of you heard of any denial
from Mr.. Simpson or any of his friends?
The Republican papers of not only this
congressional district, but of the state,
have rung with these charges l have
made against Jerry Simpson for nearly
one year, and yet he has neither in an
open letter to the public nor from the
rostrum in his speeches attempted to
deny what l have seid. And, gentle
men, of all the Populist members of
the house of representatives IF 1897,
and of all the Populist senators who
occupied seats upon the floor of the
senate, 80 far as l know, not one has
ever attempted to deny my charges or
openly claimed that they were untrue.
If I have lied, why has not the truth
been made manifest? If have spoken
falsely, why has not the truth been
openly proclaimed? If have misrep-
resented Jerry Simpson, why have not
the facts been made plain? And, gen.
tlemen, If Jerry Simpson will 60 to
your state capital and there use all of
his influence against your interests, by
lobbying against the bill of all bills
that you desired to have passed, why
should he be true to you in Washington
or anywhere else?
''Can you as Populists afford to en-
dorse this mans shameless perfidy by
re-electing him to congress? Can you
afford to endorse his treachery by your
votes? 1 place these unpleasant Facts
before you because feel it 10 my duty.
Think on them well. aud when you
come to vote just ask yourself this
question: Can l afford to cast my vote
for any man who has proved traitor to
the peoples interests?

In his campaign speeches Jerry
Simpson says he has been accused Of
speaking of our navy ~ ''tin ships,
manned by dude sailors." He then
dramatically offers to withdraw from
the race if any such language can be
found in the Congressional Record Fe
knows that nobody ever accused him
of using that language in oongresa
But he did use it and knows that he n
accused of using it In his 1894 campaign
speech at Great Bend and elsewhere.
He does not deny this charge, but says;

The Present Price Of Wheat Too
Low.

c. Wood Davis, who has given more
aud closer attention to the worlds annual
acreage of cereals and the aggregate in
Grease Of it's consumption. has written an
opinion which will DO doubt interest
Kansas farmers, who have more wheat
10 sell than anybody. He holds that
''prices are, because of the persistent
-exaageratiOns Of interested parties
grain gamblers both In America and
Europe and buyers of grain in Europe
little likely to advance materially until u
large part of the wheat has left the
hands of the growers; but actual eondi-
tiOus must assert themselves about April
or May. and prices then advance mater

than now indicated, the years harvest
world harvest-is likely to prove largely
deficient, with no considerable stores OF
+ old grain anywhere in the world. In
fact, even the European trade journal.
that always try to minimize demand and
exagkerate the available supply, agree il
stating the remainder from former world
1,arsests is the smallest ever known. In
view Of these facts and the related one
that the wheat Of 1898 went into con-
sumption from two to four weeks earlier
shan usual, and thus meet nearly thirteen
months requirements, there 10 little
probability of prices remaining low until
another harvest-unless, ~ the Mark Lane
Express contends, the Russiam return is
1ixty million bushels greater than in 1897,
and the growing world crop promises
unusually we'll when the spring growth,
OF 1899 begins." The Kansas farmers
are said to be holding their wheat teua-
ciOs'sly, to such an extent that mills in
all sections are being closed. According
TO Mr.. Wood Davis views they cannot do
better than hold it as long ~ possible for
rising prices.

he Voted Against the Very Measure That
the Populists Now Do
mand.

I'm 1896 the populist leaders again
vent before the people on a platform
declaring for maximum rates and in
that year routed the republicans foot,
horse aud dragons
For the first time they had complete
control of all the departments of state
and had an overwhelming majority in
both branches of the legislature.
IF the members of the state admin.
istration were honest nothing stood in
the way Of the enactment of maxi
mum freight rate law and fulfillment
of the promises which they had So
lavishly made to the people.
with . populist majority large
enough to pass any bill and with the
promises of three state campaigns
staring them in the face the legisla-
ture buried the maximum freight rate
bill so deep that no populist Gabriel
has vet been found who had the temer-
ity to blow tho horn for its resurrec-
ton.
1.-THE time for the campaign Of 1895
was coming on and the railroad ques-
sion could not be ignored. The man
ayers Of the party were compelled to
abandon the maximum rate theory be-
cause on that question they had been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting. and they adopted platform
declaring in favor of enlarging the
powers of a board of railroad commits
sioners to be elected by the people,
giving them the power to fix rates
1T Is safe to say that these prom.
Uses will not be fulfilled If the party
managers are given another opportu-
nifty, as they have too firmly established
q reputation for breaking promises to
Justify a kelief that they would keep
one noW.
But We are not left to conjecture.
The present managers OF the party
have placed themselves on record and
have declared against the doctrine
now set out in tl.e party platform.
In 1898. Mr.. Greenlee, Of Reno
county, who was a member of the
house and . large shipper. prepared q
rate bill providing Cor the enlarge
meut of the powers of the board of
railroad commissioners and their
lection by the people.
Mr.. Greeriee himself was . repub-
lican. the house of which he was .
member being also repu blican. This
bill was in harmony with the repub-
Lean platform of 1922, and in the line
with republican precedent of keeping
promises and fairly sets ont the re-
publican position on the rate question.
