SOME REASONS.

submit the following reasons for support
ing Colonel Campbell Siemp, and
most respectfully urge consideration
thereof.
He supports the doctrine OF "equal
rights for all. special privileges to none "
2nd. He supports and defends Nc
Kinley whose administration Rhea de-
clared in 1900 twas the most scandalous
in our country's history" and yet Judge
Rhea now lands him as Christian states
man worthy of our higest honor.
Srd. He supports the American foreign
policy that has made our nation world
power; aud which hes enlarged and ex-
tended our foreign commerce.
4th. He supports the protective tariff
policy that will ''let we'll enough alone,
= and opposes the Democratic free trade
policy that made our people suffer in 1S'
93.lS97.
5th. He supports and represents those
policies that have developed our mineral,
industrial, commercial, lumber and mater
ial interests: and will sntagonize any re-
petition of the policies that caused panic,
and suffering among our labor: the loss OF
capital: the depreciation of values; and
general industrial and financial paralysis
of Cleveland's administration.
9th. He supports Republican protection,
currency, and business and believes IN
"Letting Prosperity alone" upon the
principle that when business is prosperous;
capital invested; industries established;
labor employed, resources developed, pro-
ducts in demand, wages remuneratiye, the
country expanding territorially, CONNER
cially, industrially and otherwise, no pru-
dent man will hesitate to let well enough
alone, and not try an experiment.
7th. He believes in the unparalleled
success of Mckinley lem and Rooseveltism,
whether foreign or domestic, in the
wonderful prosperity of the country, in the
military and naval splendor OF our
achievements in war and peace In Cuba,
Porto Rico, Philippines, or China, the re-
suits of which astonish the world.
Sth. He does not believe in the Demo
cratic clamor that protection produces
trusts" as every informed man knows
trusts exist in free trade cOuntries'and
further it is recalled that the most
powererful trusts in our country, the coal
oil and anthracite trusts, have no protec-
ton.
9th. He knows that to break down the
bars of protection the trusts OF foreign
countries would ruin our labor, Industries
and resources. Destroy US. Build them
up. Are such conditions desirable?
Hardly, l think.
10th. He declares that the Republican
party has enacted the "Sherman Anti
Trust law" (which Democrats tried to
repeal:) a Republican President has begun
proceedings hereunder: a Republican
Congress offered an amendment to Federal
Constitution to regulate trusts. The
Democrats IN Congress, Judge Rhea among
them, the Virginia General Assembly have
opposed.
llth. He believes in regulating trusts in
a practical manner by such legislation and
Constitutional provision as may be
demanded. Rhea voted against even con-
sidering the matter in Congress.
10Th. He believes nothing is politically
right that is morally wrong, therefore the
Democratic party is insincere when it;
Denounces imperialism" and ter
-rtoriaf expansion III face Of H. 2cs@i% -tc
have been the forefather OF expansion,
Denounces the campaign in the Philip
pines, our policy in Cnba, Porto Rico etc.,
when it is admitted by all men of culture
and ability that our campaigns there have
produced revolution in all matters that
benefit and bless a people, whether
morally socially, commercially, industri'
ally, Intellectually, relgiously, or nation
allv
Denounces the gold standard in face Of
the marvellous and general prosperity OF
our country thereunder.
Denounces protection to American in
dustries and labor in face of the record in
which Judge Rhea while a State Senator
introduced a bill protesting against putting
our raw materials on the free list and de-
clarcd it would injure our material In
dustriai, and labor interests.
Denounces "trusts" when it is known
that Judge Rhea voted against a resolu-
tion in Congress to report an amendment
TO Federal Constitution controlling trusts,
but at the same time protecting the states
in their rights to deal Herewith.
He opposes the infamous understanding
clause; the property qualification as a pre-
REQUISITE to voting; that have been used to
disfranchise white men.
He opposes the years poll'tax require
meht that will have to be paid after 1904
in order to register or vote. This will act
harshly on the poor laboring men;this is
defended by Democracy.
He demands that pledge of Governor
Montague in 1901 "that no "white man
shall be dlsfranchised" be enforced, land
vet Democratic Registrars have rejected
white men.
He condemns the failure of the Demo
cratic party to submit the Constitution, as
was pledged, to the people, instead OF pro-
claiming same.
He is supporter of the honored doc
trine "all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed
