been altogether satisfied with the
work Of the present incumbent, and
are not averse to supporting some
other man whom they know to be all
right. Buckman's supporters say as
how he has accomplished so much but
beyond the fact that he has secured
paltry appropriation or two, his
ettorts-if he really has made any
have not counted for much. The
talk of the Buckman press of his
doing things when simmered down
gives him credit for few new pen
sions. few increases in pensions,
and probably a rural route or two,
all Of which does not depend upon the
congressman in any manner whatever
with the exception that he has to
bring these matters to the attention of
the proper authorities. If man
deserves a pension or an increase in
one he already has, the doctors GER
ti6cate is what decides whether the
applicant shall have it or not, and in
the case of rural mail routes the
postal authorities must know to a
certainty the proper number of
patrons to be served in a certain
number of miles of road. The COZ.
gresham influence in these matters
does not amount to pinch Of snuff.
AS regards Buckman's being with
the president on the rate bill and a
number Of other things which his
friends are yelling about, it is a
known fact that he was home looking
after his political fences before these
bills were settled.
But laying all this aside there is
another reason why the present in
cumbent should not be returned to
Office. 1t is hard matter to find any
portion OF the district where he has
not gone against the direct wishes Of
the majority of the people who have
placed him in Office as their servant.
With the aid Of an INSCRIPTIONS poll
tical machine of which he is the
chief wire puller he has become
arrogant and altogether Indifferent to
the desires OF the voters unless it just
happens to meet with his personal
approval. The time for change has
come and the people naturally do not
hesitate to grasp the opportunity to
relieve themselves of a political SER
want who has outerown his usefulness.

better fitted by reason of character,
training, education, inclination,
habits and ability to represent the
Sixth district in congress than the

In the above Mr.. Eddy sizes up the
congressional situation correctly and
concisely.
The Litch6eld News-Ledger saws
the rank and file of the republican
voters in this district want the tariff
revised. No republican congressman
can do anything to revise the tariff
SO long as the standpatters Of the east
control Little Falls Herald.

do heap with the gang against

Senate and bunch of Lindberghs in

to be big boy now, you know
