HAS No USE FOR BRYAN
Campbell of Illinois Gets Out of the
Democratic Camp.
HE IS NOW FOR MCKINLEY
Says the Agitation in This Country Alone
Keeps the Filipinos at yar-Just
Back from the Philippines.

Elk Congressman James Campbell of
illinois is the latest democrat to change
his political opinions and declare for Nc
klnIey. lie gives as ais reason what he
has seen and heard in the Philippines,
has no hesitancy in saying that
Bryan and his friends are responsible for
the cont inuance of the insnlrection.
Colonel Campbell Is one OF the best
known democrats OF Southern Illinois
He was for twelve years member of
the state legislature. In 1896 he was
one of the few democratic congressman
elected in Illinois, and was reelected in
1898. During the Spanish war he re-
signed from congress and raised the
Ninth Illinois infantry and saw ser> ice
in Cuba. Afterward he was appointed
heutenantcolonel of the Thirtieth
United States volunteers, now in the
Philippines and Is at home ON ii iur-
Tough. He walked into republican lat
lonal headquarters and announced that
he was through with Bryan
In giving his reasons for this he said:
1.-The lnsurrection in the Philippines is
kept alive by the democratic agitation.
Aguinaldo and his small bands of wan
derlng natives are keeping up the strag-
gle IN the hopes of Bryan's ection. and
if il were not tor the encouragement
given them by Brsan in this country
Jhey would have collapsed long ago
Aguinaldo IS continually on the move
and III constant fear Of assassination by
his own men. They have no organiza-
ton, aud are simply rovlng bands. The
Filipino property owners and the better
class of natives declare that the Ameri-
can should retain possession of the is
lands have aIl$pI vii II ANY mn IN l,p1.

SOUTHERNER FOR MCKINLEY.
Another Life-Lo ~ Iemocra6 caves His
Party and Scores Its Policies.


Another lifelong democrat, James S.
Evans has come oat for President Nc
Kiuley, He is n Southerner, and is the
first n,ember Of his family who has ever
voted the republican ticket. His letter
follows:
Mr. r. i. Powell, president Southern
Democratic Club, Chicago:
My dear sir:-I thank You for your in
vitation to join the Southern Democratic
Club. the headquarters Of which are at
the Sherman house. At the same time
| must respectfully decline to become
party to an organization, the purpose of
which is to assist Mr.. William Jennings
Bryan in reaching the highest office
within the gift of sovereign people.
| come of long line of democrats,
many of whom have been conspicuous
in the political history of the Gulf States.
From them | was taught the cardinal
principles of true democracy; and re-
memberlng these | cannot subscribe to
the teachings of Mr.. Bryan and those
candidates who are advocating them.
Believing them to be dangerous to all
the people, and especially detrimental to
the interests Of the south, shall cast
my ballot against the Kansas City NOM
inees and for the first time in the history
of a member of my family vote the nat
ional republican ticket.
The CRY of imperialism raised by Mr.
Bryan and his adherents, to my mind,
is canting hypocrisy. And it seems to
me to be the very acme of insincerity
for southern democrat such as you
profess to be, to preach about individ-
ual liberty, the right of the governed to
be consulted ON matters of state issue,
when all Of us, long ago, agreed that the
negros place is inferior to the white
mans on election days. Is it your wish
to concede to the rebellios Tagalo greater
individual liberty than we permit half
of the population of the states of Louis
lana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, North Carolina and Arkansas to
enjoy? At this present moment, as you
very well know, every southern state
that has not made previous provision
for the dlsfranchisemenr Of the negro,
is arranging to do so; and no one of our
sect on who believes in the right of the
Anglo-Saxon to rule, is opposing.
We're / to assist in a movement seek
ing to destroy the interests of the Amer
lean government 10 the Philippines,
placed there by a combination of cir
cumstances this country could not hon
orably have circumvented, and subse-
quently consecrated by the blood of my
kinsmen who fell fighting for the honor
of their flag, should feel as if | were a
common traitor.
A southerner by birth, in politics
democrat, an American by the grace of
God, shall, in the absence of demo-
cratic nominee, vote for William Nc
Kinley because he is something more
than man after an office
Very truly yours,
