LONG AND WEIGH
Spoke to Valley Center Republicans
observation-disclosures AID Night


Chester I. Long spoke at Valley Center
yesterday afternoon, and R B. Welsh of
Topeka. at night. The Rough Riders
rode up in the morning and meeting Mr..
Long and Mr.. Welsh at the station,
| escorted them to the hotel and TO and
from the meeting. John Davis and Otto
Eckstein also attended the meeting.
The rally was held in the large tent
| that is being moved from town to town
for epublican meetings in this county
campaign, and it was well filed after
noon and evening.
Mr.. Welsh, who is one of the best
speakers IN Kansas this year, was for
merly county attorney Of Shawnee county
He also for some years was president
of the State Normal school at Emporia,
and is now a leading lawyer of Topeka.
He is a forceful speaker, and is making
Republican votes. He has a nexcellent
speech, full Of good things For instance,
he takes up what the Democratic party
attempted to do with the tarin-and
failed; then with silver-and finally
dropped that; next and this year, 1t
takes UP imperialism-the only thing left
since its record on trusts was such that
that could not be made the paramount
issue. Mr.. WEIGH makes a careful analy
sis of the history of wars and imperial
istic nations, and his deduction is that no
country ever waged war with another for
nobler and better causes than America
did in the war with Spain, and that the
results have been such that we are now
a world-power-a power for good, to 9TH
ers as well as to ourselves.
Mr.. Welch gets off couple Of good
things-here they are:
1.-THE Democrats say that Harrison
and Mckinley prosperity are the result
of luck; well, who wants to change the
luck if that is what 1t is?"
''The Democratic party did almost sue
coed in killing off the trusts onee-in
1S9s-and eerything else, too"
