ance in Illinois led State Chairman
Rowe to ask him to make speeches
for the Republican ticket, but he
declined on the ground that his
furlough Is only for another month
and he has not the time to take the
stump. In 1884 Mr.. Campbell was
elected as a Democrat to the house
from the forty-sixth senatorial dis
trict, and was reelected in 1886.
Two years later he was promoted
to the senate, where he served
eight years. His legislative career
was criticised many times, but he
was ever known as a loyal Demo-
crat. In 1896 he was elected to
congress on the Democratic ticket
in the twentieth Illinois district.
When the Spanish-American War
broke out he raised the Ninth Illi-
nOis Regiment and was elected
colonel. He was the first congress-
man to resign from the house to
accept commission in the army.
He has been in the Philippines since
occupation by American troops.

BRYAN MISSES THE SPIRIT
OF AMERICAN ASPIRATIONS

DR.. j. A. Milburn, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church of In
dianapolis, who has been a sturdy
champion of Democratic principles
in the past, intends to vote the Re-
publican ticket this year. He says:
Il see no reason why a minister
should not express his political pref
erences, as well as any one else. I
have been for long years Demo-
crat, but at the last Presidential
election voted for Mckinley. / will
vote for him again. Mr.. Bryan, I
think, is good man, but he is the
incarnation Of economic heresies,
and what is more he fails to under
stand the temperament and the
genius of a growing world He has
not yet learned, evidently, that life
means growth, and that to cease to

from all sides. I looked at it in an
unbiased manner. What was good
for me certainly must be good for
my neighbor, and he must also suf-

deprecated, the cost of clothes
might be less, but would have no
money to buy them. I studied the

A GEORGIAN'S REASONS FOR
VOTING FOR MCKINLEY

shall vote for Mckinley and
Roosevelt because:
First-We are Americans, and are
against all of Americas enemies.
Second-We are patriotic, and are
DESTROYS of suppressing those who
give aid and comfort to our enc
mics.
Third-We are honest and are
against all efforts at dishonoring
the nation by currency legislation
or otherwise.
Fourth-We are law abiding, and
are against all encouragement OF
force in the settlement of disputes.
Fifth-We are progressive, and
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1900-10-19

favor legitimate expansion of our
commerce and our power
Sixth-We are hopeful that Mr..
Mckinley has seen his former errors
and will treat our Southern people
fairly and broadly, and carefully re-
frain from humiliating them.
Will he do so? If he does not,
then all hope of ever breaking the
solid South must be postponed until
he is succeeded by wiser man; and
we, who are leaving the beaten path,
will sorrowfully and penitently re-
turn whence we came.
