every prospect is that the voters this

political activity comes from the fact
that this is the home of ex-senator

crowd is fighting Cummins? 1t is any
wonder that the Wall street gang who
controls the secretary of the treasury
should send Shaw to Iowa to campaign
against Cummins and to advocate the
nomination of George d. Perkins. the
Blythe candidate?"

up: Blythe, Hubabrd, Elkins, ct AL

The Terril Tribune wants to know

publican party. as eXemplified by Lin
coin, Garfield and Grant? Are they
men like Elkins. Aldrich, Plat and De-
pew, or men like Cummins and La
Follette?'
The Hartley Herald says "The only
real argument why people in the
Eleventh district should rally to Perkins
support instead of that of Cummins is
his residence in the district. He does
not represent the sentiment or prin-
ciples held by large majority of the
republicans of the district, and hence
| is not entitled to their support. He has
labored for the party in years past,
but has held office for tWenty-four
years and that should be sufficient pay.

real issues" advises the Herald.

! One of the characteristics of Mr..
| Perkins as a reformer is thus noted by
the Sac SIN: "He admits the necess-
! ty of changes. but when brought to the
parting of the ways he usually sees
something wrong with the reformers
and gives his influence to the other
side"
The Odebolt Chronicle edited by Mr..
Perkins "favorite nephew Billy Ham

ger "is going too far. Governor Cum
Minis and his friends owe Dolliver
nothing in a political way" declares
| the Chronicle. "but they have cheer
fully conceded his recollection as a re-
| ward for his services in behalf of rate
legislation, and they are prepared to
keep their word. Now, to gain petty
political advantage for the railroad
| candidate for governor. the newspaper
which is published in Senator Dolli-
ver's home town and which is owned
by his closet friend impugns the good
faith of Governor Cummins and the
honorable men who are supporting
him"

ELKINs IN THE EAST.

The character of Senator Elkins has
been somewhat thoroughly exploited
in Iowa since he was dragged into the
state to bay Cummins and sent back
to Washington with the tin can attach
ment from which he has been frantic
ally but unavailingly endeavoring tc
rid himself. Still the following from
the New York Press is Illuminating
and worth the time required for it's per-
usal. The Press says:
1t is not only in Iowa that Senator
Elkins is looked upon as the leading
defender OF railroad injustice. Long
Z before Governor Cummins branded the
West Virginian as an enemy to the
people they knew him as the author OF
the Elkins "anti''-rate bill, which
was enough to give him bad name if
he were not in fact beneficiary of
the coal monopoly against which his
OWE state is now in revolt, and if he
were not the leader of the movemen:
to defeat federal rate regulation.
Every word of Governor Cummin's
scorching denunciation of Ell1ins is
of Governor Cummins to prove that
the farcical hearing" held last sum-
mer by the senate committee of which
Elklns is chairman was closed against
the public. Other witnesses than the
governor of Iowa saw the open coach
ing of Elkins by the attorney of the
syndicated railroads. Other witnesses
than Cummins were bulldozed and in
suited by Elkins and his associates on
the committee. That fake hearing
was held to pack the record of con-
gress in favor of the railroads and to
promote the railroad propaganda
against legislation at the expense of
the people.
Other states than Iowa have raised
their voices in angry protest against
the treachery of Elkins. His own state,
thru it's governor and its citizens,
have repudiated him and his colleague,
N. B. Scott. The Independent coal op-
orators, who can get no square deal
thru the agency of Elkins' bunco
rebate law, have taken their appeal to
the senator of another state. They
write to Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina
saying that they consider him their
senator, since the misrepresentation
Of West Virginia are deaf to their pleas
for. succor.
1t is not only the senators who have
been indicted or sentenced that are in
disrepute in the whole country and de-
spised by the public where they are
best known-at home. 1t is not only
those who have been caught buying
their seats or who are generally be-
lieved to have acquired their commits
sions unfairly that have lost the re-
spect of the public. Messrs. Lodge and

a GROWING FOREIGN TRADE.

That the foreign demand for our
dairy products is growing steadily
should encourage the dairy industry in
this country. Great Britain is a heavy
importer of butter and furnishes vast
field for American competition with
Denmark and Australia. Imports OF
butter into the United Kingdom In
1905 amounted to 465 million pounds.
OF this Denmark supplied about 40 per
cent and Australia Is per cent.
More butter was exported from the
United States during the second half
of 1905 than during the whole year
1904, and in January, 1906. the ex-
ports exceeded 100000 pounds, or
nearly one third of the amount for the
year 1905.
Most of these exports are consigned
to the United Kingdom. During 1905
the amount sent to that country eX-
ceeded 100000 pounds, or 20 per
cent Of the total exports. and during
the five years 19O0-1904 the exports of

THE PERKINS, DEMOCRACY
TAckley Inter-County Journal

lAckley Inter- County Journal
The only democratic" newspaper
in Hardin county the Acl<ley World
is making frantic editorial efforts to
prove that Perkins, candidate for
governor, and Steve Elkins, the West
Virginia senator are not corporation
tools. Its curious democracy is
manifested in its opposition to
Cummins on the ground that "he es-
pouses the principles that democrats
do and because there is no use of
putting up two democratic candi-
dates for governorship." Therefore
as democratic organ. to make itself
principles, it proposes to support Mr.
Perkins.
The Sioux City Journal, Mr.. Per-
kins' paper. has been quoting so
much of the Worlds editorials as as
sert that Mr.. Cummins is adopting
democratic policies and proclalming
democratic principles. and 1t is SO
pleasing to the democratic sheet to
be thus recognized that it feels un-
der obligation to support Mr.. Per-
kins for governor which part is
omitted in the quotations by the Per-
kins paper from the World.

ENCUSINC SENATOR ELKINS.
Northwood Anchorl
Here's something from the Manson
City Republican, radical standpat
antiCummns paper, that sounds ex-
ceedingly radical to the average re-
former:
The stand of Senator Elkins is not d
matter of doubt in the minds of the
people. He is a large railroad and
mine owner His state is one largely
depending on mining ana railroads,
and it is fitting that it's senator should
represent its chief industries Sena-
tors Allison, Dolliver, Nelson, Clapp
and Cullom, come from agricultural
states and represent what their con-
sttuentS demand II is a mistake to
ask that q senator or representative
like judge should be unbiased in his
advocacy or opposition to legislation.
1t is demanded that he stand for his
people and when so doing he cannot
be denounced as wrong doer.
The above is written in defense of
Senator Elklns shortcomings as made
public by the letter of Coy. Cummins
in reply to the I;lkins letter. If West
Virginia is peopled by grafters only
the state would naturally be repre-
scented in congress by men of the same
ilk. Simply because the interests of
West Virginia are largely mining and
railroads it does not follow that it's
senators should stand for the oppres-
sion of the people of every other state
in the union. Senator Elkins is a
representative of the state of West
Virginia, but he is not elected for the
purpose of making laws for the bene-
fit of that state alone. If he was an
honest man his influence would be
given in favor Of the people as a
whole. He is not honest, the people
know 1t. and it is mighty small bust
ness for even standpat paper to at
tempt to excuse him for opposing rate
regulation

in this connection that the Beacon de-
