SHAMEFUL ADMISSIONS.

Chairman Babcock of the Republican con
gressional committee Is now in New York
for the purpose of establishing headquarters
for the coming campaign. During recent
interview in Chicago he announced the gen
eral outline of the work for the campaign
He said that the literary feature OF this cam
paign would be subordinated TO speech
making. Probably not more than dozen
speeches in Congress will be circulated, EN-
brsciDg the subjects of tariff, trusts and the
Philippines.
The Republican campaign handbook will
not be out for several weeks, and II will be
designed mainly for the use OF the army OF
spellbinders who will be put 10 the field,
furnishing them suggestions and statistics
for use In their stump speeches.
Chairman Babcock's idea 10 this regard
Is as follows;
"The party has new doctrines and new
policies OF course, the people know wha,
they are. They have been reading about
them. But what they have read for the
most was the newspaper reports of our do
4 ings 10 Congress and President Roosevelt,
utterances.
Explanation of our Philippine, our trust,
, our Csban and our tariff policies Is the thing
{ that the voters demand in the campaign we
are entering upon. That is one reason Tor
s making II an oratorical rather than liter
airy battle. The battle Of the giants will

The Republican party is fortunate in has
ing big array oil oratorical talent among II,
members This talent must not be permitted
to go to waste where Il can be utilized /,
such good advantage.
"One advantage recognized 10 this plan ri
campaign Is the latitude which will be al.
lowed orators in discussing the issues best
suited To particular communities. For ex.
ample, In the east Chairman Payne aud Rep
resentative Dalzell Of the Ways and Means
Committee will shout for no tariff changes
and whoop It up along that line Tor all there
Is In It, with the serene Involvement of the
campaign committee. Out west the revis
ionist orators will demand reduction Of som,
Of the higher tariff schedules, such as steel
iron, glass, tin, ETC. still with the serene in
dorsement OF the committee. 10 Minneso,
Mr.. Tawney will berate Cuban reciprocity
while south of him, IN Kansas, his coleagu
on the Ways and Means Committee, Mr.
Long, will defend that policy.
"There will be labor orators for New Jer
sey and Pennsylvania, depicting the bene
ITS accrulng TO labor under Republican poll
cIes; there will be anti trust orators for th,
agricultural districts who will make tn
welkin ring with denunciation of the oc
topii and threats Of their determination
There will be German orators and Scandi
navian orators and Italian orators, each An
peallng after his own fashion 10 people
whom he talks In the interests of the RI
publican party and for the election Of a RI
publican House Of Representative"
To the honest, Straightforward people {
the country the above program will prov
disgusting dose, and any party that resort
70 such double dealing but shows It's veal
ness. What line Of argument will be use
In this congressional district remains TO b
developed. We suppose II will be excus,
for what the Republican Congress failed /
do, and bright promises for the future. N
doubt Mr.. Pearre, the Republican candidat,
when addressing the people OF Allegan,
will point with pride TO the liberal appropr
atIons he secured for them alone, while Il
the other counties Of the district he will OF
