was paid TO the men you claim built
the army post. Where was II spent ?
If you want to know more about 1t.
write to Representatives Lands. of In
diana, and Representative Cooper, of
Wisconsin. They made the investiga-
ton.
Greasng Up Iowa.
Am ! getting close How much is
Dobson guilty of that? told you that
Wall street was greasing the rails In
iowa
Federal officers, sttOnd up and say
that YOU are in favor Of that system
You say / am a bold man, that / am
opposed to the republican party be-
cause | ann against Captain Hull Men
love the republican party and | be-
lieve 1t is the best party in the world
but | believe there is an ulcer on It's
liver, which should be cut off am
not satisfied to see the ulcer Of cor
poration domination eat into the very
vitals of the party and see it de-
stroyed.
Il will not spend money In this cam
paign. II is against the law But |
will give you the biggest bunch of
American beauty roses IL you will show
me where once within the last ten
years Captain Hull has raised his voice
or done one thing against the removal
of corporate control except to vote
for the recent rate legislation bill when
forced to do so by Overwhelming pub
lie will.
'If you are looking for money don't
vote for me. If you are, vote for Hull
for he has lots of 1t behind him. He
has demonstrated that he has plenty of
resources ] know of one occasion
where one committeeman got $1,000 for
delivering the precinct right.
IF these fellows did that would you
want to vote for him and say he was
representing the interests of the people
of the Seventh district?
Federal office holders. speak up!
Spent Money Here.
During the last campaign, these old
philanthropists got in their work Ger
tain congressman wrote to. the head of
the system. The congressional repre-
sentation business has got down to
a system so that each election head
quarters are maintained in New York.
The system is to keep in congress the
men Who will carry on the wishes OF
these philanthropists, j. Pierpont Nor
gan and John d. Rockefeller Incl
dentally Capt. J. A. r. Hull is the Sec
rotary of the head of the system.
"There two congressman wrote into
the head of the system and asked for
some funds for campaign funds. There
they were told that there was nothing
left. The men got together. They
went to the head office personally and
found three men In charge One of
them was Captain Hull. No money,
was the second reply. They went over
the books and looked into the question
of where the money came from. Be
lieying that some interests had not
paid enough or had not paid at all they
went to the office of ]. Pierpont Nor
gan. The Wall street magnate re-
ceiyed them. They asked If it was not
about time to give something for the
congressional fund. They estimated
100000 was about enough. I've paid
that much already said Morgan. but'
gentlemen, the books didn't snow IT,
Who did he pay it to?'
"Federal officers, tlo you under
stand?" If you don't | will repeat my
statement -
zone little railroad blew in $1,000 IN
q Hull campaign. You know that rali-
roads are such philanthropic institu-
tions. They should be. Captain Hull
never did anything to harm them. he
never was an agitator. They say
stand by us and we will stand by YOU
make you chairman OF the military
committee and advertise you IN the
Army and Navy Journal.
What is Needed.
"Rut what is wanted is relief in rail-
road rates, establishing e. Des Moines
river scale SO that Des Moines can
grow to quarter OF a 1nillion IN popu-
lation instead Of being handicapped by
Omaha and Kansas City schedules.
We need relief from the grasp which
the enormous beef trust is holding on
this section Of the country. relief from
that great head of Wall street.
Federal office holders what would
you do to relieve the situation?
'.I may be tramped down by Stand
ard Oil or beef trust, but | would
stand by the rights of the people. No
honest man can get rich In congress.
j. A. Il. Hull tells me that his cam
paign costs as much as his salary,
but I want to assert that Hull never
suffered the loss of nickel from that
score. I do not want to go to congress
by purchased votes, but I do want to
be elected by the votes of free men.
II told you two years ago that j. A.
r. Hull would get 100000 for river
front Improvement. I told you that
he would get a s1,oO0,ooo postoffice,
told YOU that he would get the two
batteries of artillery for the army post.
These / believed that he would do, but
he didn't. learned that he never
called for the river front Improvement
bill out of the committee, | find that
he had not got the million dollar post
office, but that Denver. way out in the
west, got $2.300,000 for postoffica
and their congressman was not on the
committee, but was on the tail
end of the fish and game committee or
some other such concern.
Are you pleased with that, Mr.. Fed
eral office holders?"
How can we do ito said a voice
from the crowd
''By the common people demanding
their rights said Mr.. Dobson. "All OF
the votes which can be purchased have
people in the Seventh district to elect
George L. Dobson or some other man
better fitted than I to the place which
Captain Hull now has"
1t pours the oil of life into your sys-
tenn. 1t warns you up and starts the
