CAMPAIGN METHODS.

A correspondent Of the London Chron-
lcle draws a contrast between campaign
methods In this country and Great Brit
ain In the first place he does not find
that the Old Country accords such
fair play or free speech as is gener-
ally claimed He says that every cleo
ton there has its percentage OF broken
heads, speakers booted down, and
meetings turned into riots In olden
days rotten eggs. bad vegetables and
dead cats used 10 be hurled az candl-
dates, il Is not so bad now, but the
spirit Is the same, as was manifested
during the recent elections. at Oldham,
Battersea and Northampton Such lit
lie incidents as that Of Victor Colorado,
when Roosevelt passed that mining
camp are but usual occurrences in Eng
land.
Cur.ousIy enough the writer in the
Chronicle docs not think that the de-
corm observed IN American campaign
meetings is entirely conducive 20 good
results On this point he argues as
follows.
The American public speaker can
usually fee. pretty certain that the men
