His campaigning is always cam
paigns of education; for he never speaks
That he does not tell his hearers some
thing of history, something of govern
feel that they ought to have known but
do not. He never appeals to prejudice,
never arouses passion and never seeks
to belittle those who are opposed to
him. He believes that if people can be
made to look at the issues through his
glasses they will see the solutions as ne
does. and SO he endeavors to get them
to try his glasses. Up in the Fifth DIS
trict you will find many hundreds OF
Democrats and Populists who have been
voting for Mr.. Calderhead all along De-
cause of his methods of campaigning.
There is proba bly, no one of Mr. Cal
derhead's constituents who is more IN
timately acquainted with his congress
siOnal work than / am, and know that
very few people realize how faithful he
has been to the needs of his district.
His work never ends with his own peo-
pie, however: every man is his brother.
and his best efforts are always given TO
diers can testify to this fact in very
large numbers.
Mr. Calderhead stands very high in
the councils of the house of representa-
tives, because his fellow members have
learned to depend upon his honesty and
his judgment. If he reaches the senate,
he will honor Kansas and never dis
honor her. He. will there have that OPP
| pOrtunity to prepare speeches and de-
liver them which is seldom afforded in
| the house. By long years of careful
| study of history and government, he is
| highly fitted for the senate. His tenn
permanent is that of a United States SEN
ator, rather than that of a representa-
| tive.
He IS the last of the old soldiers in
| the house from Kansas, and, I believe.
| is the only senatorial candidate who
| served in the civil war. The old boys
| everywhere mourned inexpressibly when
| President Mckinley passed, as they fell
| that their last comrade had gone from
the White House; and they-those who
| reside in Kansas-feel that in Calder
| head is their last chance for reeresen-
| tation in tie senate. Many of them
are politically tied to other candidates
| now, but a few votes in caucus will re-
| lease them. and that sympathy whicf
begun when they touched elbows will
draw them around his standard"
The Linn county Republicans have de.
clared in favor of Congressman Bower
sock for senator Here is the resolution
endorsing him:
I'VE hereby express our full faith IL
the patriotism, integrity and SOUND
statesmanship of the Republican repre-
sentation in the congress Of the United
States from Kansas. and we do esDe
| cially commend the Hon. Justin D
| Bowersock, our distinguished represen
tative from the Second district, for tn,
prompt fair and fearless manner IL
which he has met and discharged every
duty devolving upon him For his re-
election we pledge him our united ant
| hearty support, and we further declar,
him to be our first choice to seat IL
the United States senate to succeed tn
