Congressman Long at Lacrosse on the

the audience and gave unqualified en-
dorsement to the strong points made
by the speaker. Hon. F. Dumont
Smith followed Congressman Long in
a telling address in behalf of the flag

who would be denounced by his own
people if he lied about the meeting
says:

Friday to an audience of about $50,
nearly half of whom were women and
children. Not more than 100 voters
we're present, a fair proportion of
whom were democrats and populists-
His talk was chiefly along the line of
imperialism and expansion. There
was very little enthusiasm and no votes
were changed. F. Dumont Smith.

If OUR Barton county farmers
had not been SO fortunate as to
raise a fairly good wheat crop
last year, and a cracker-jack
crop this year, how many of
them would be talking ''pros-
porous times?' When they
have to pay more for lumber,
machinery, staples, groceries
and collins when they die, how
many of them would have over
looked these advances in prices
if they did not have a goodly
supply of wheat to sell? The in
crease in prices of all you have
to buy will be continued by the
republican trusts; but that par
ty viii not. insure you a big
wheat crop next year, nor the
year after, neither will they pay
you what your wheat is worth
today.
