Mr.. Finley measures up to Johu
Sharpe Williams, Joe Cannon

people should vote for him, but
If he does not so measure up,
Mr.. Williams thought they
should vote for him. His oppo.

$50, 900. he had received ought
to be enough for one man. He
said that later on, when the
campaign had been arranged for
the District, he would discuss
fully the issues before the peo.

Speeches Of Candidates fol'
Congress.

report or the speeches OF the can
didates for Congress at this place
last Friday:
After the State candidates had
spoken here Friday, the candi-
dates for Congress from this
District, Messrs D. E. Finley
and T. Y. Williams, addressed
the audience, i'll the order named.
Mr.. Finley discussed manly
national questions. Some had
said that the issues are nil, but
the speaker declared that in his
opinion the issues Of today are
as broad, momentous and deep
as ever before in the history of
the American people. The Dem.
ooratic party might as we'll dis.
band if there were no issues as
claimed by some. The American
people are more bufdened and
heavier taxed today than ever
before. If it were left to the
Republicans they would claim,
and, as a matter of fact, do
claim, credit for advanced prices
of farm products. Many of the
peoples burdens are due to the
present tariff law, under which
trusts have grown up, and
which enables them to charge
what they please. The people
are now paying tribute to the
trusts on a majority, in value, of
the commodities they buy. The
government is far more expen-
sive than it should be, the speak
er declared. Besides, there is
corruption in some departments.
The frauds in the post Office de-
partment and in the matter of
government lands were referred
to. The Republicans have
grown arrogant and no longer
fear the people. The tendency
to absolutis,n in government
was commented upon, and the
"young man In the White
House" criticised for attempt
ing, as in the recent pension
matter, to make laws, instead of
confining himself to executing
them. The effect of Roosevelt s
famous pension order No. 7S was
explained. The popularity of
Mckinley and the marked un.
popularity Of Roosevelt in the
south we're alluded to. He has
yet to hear, the speaker said, OF
a white man in the south sayin @
a good word for Roosevelt. The
Democrats secured the best OF
the last session Of Congress, from
a political standpoint. 1t was
the shortest session in 80 years,
for the reason that the admins.
tratlon wanted to get rid of con.
gress, as the Democrats kept
making speeches emphasizing
its corruption and extravaganza.
Mr.. Finley said that he had
represented this district since
1893 and had rendered the best
service of which he is capable ol
giving. He had sndeavored tc
carry out every pledge made tc
the people. He felt that his
experience better qualified him
for effective work in the future
He had never appealed to county
pride and had represented al
counties with equal zeal and
fairness.
MR.. WILLIAMS,
after expressing the pleasure il
afforded him to meet and tc
speak to SO many of his friends
took occasion to thank the peo
pie Of Lancaster county for the
overwhelming vote given him

proner Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind. however, that pneu- 1nonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and by the proper treatment of these diseases threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off There is no question whatever about this, as during the thirty years and more that Chamber Iain's Cough Remedy has been used. we have yet to learn of a single case of a cold or attack of the grip having re- suited in pneumonia when this remedy was used. It is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. w. J. Smith. of Sanders. Ala. who is also a druggist, says of it: 'T have been selling Cham berlains Cough Remedy and prescrib- ing it in my practice for the past six years. use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best re- sults.''
