The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1906-08-17

Ninety members of the seth con-
gress voted for the famous mileage
grab bill, eighty against it. Among
the ninety wac McCleary. In effect
he voted to give himself about $500,
ostensibly to reimburse him for
money spent in travel from Manka-
to to Washington and back in that
instant of time between the two
raps Of the speakers gavel that
marked the close Of one and the
opering of another session. It was
as clear a case of downright, out
right graft as was ever attempted on
the, treasury. ~ It classes with SOL All
that other grating which. public
opinion has so severely condemned.
The eighty who voted. against it
so thought. The senate SO consider
ed it and rejected the item.

The McCleary organs are making
great ado about his great ability
and high standing in congress-. IT
there were q shadow Of truth in
their claims, why was McCleary
turned down with bang by speaker
Cannon when it came to tho ap-
pointment Of q chairman of the ap-
preparation committee, a place he
boosted in the last campaign had he
promise been by the speakers Why
did Cannon, = standpatter, pass
over McC leary, who was q member
Of the committee, and appoint Mr..
Tawney, who was not and who is
a revisionists The answer is clear.
Speaker Cannon is an experienced
legislator and q shrewd judge Of
men. Tawney was big enough for
the place; McCleary was not, even
after fourteen years in congress.
He never will be an important fac!
tor in congress-. He has long out
lived his usefulness and should be
replaced by a man who will en-
deavor to represent his constitu-
ente.

There appear to be some voters

at stake in the senatorial contest in
this district. The issue succinctly
stated.is, Popular Government vs.
CORPORATION Domination" In

service corporation govern Mime
sota9 The question has been met
and disposed of in other states, and
the people control. In others the
corporations are still dominant.

believe in square deal for ev-
erybody; that it is not right for the
rich to Cypress the poor nor for the
great to crowd the small to the
wall.
I believe in the equal obedience
to law by every one, be he rich or
poor, by he great corporations and
the small merchant, by the high
official and the private citizen, by
the saloon and the church, by the
man IN an automobile and the man
in the cart.
l believe that no public official
should ride on a pass or have FREE

The latest argument in favor OF
Mr.. McCleary's candidacy is fur
nished by the Heron Lake News, and
hinges on our Congressman's ''sta'
bility and integrity" If these two
qualifications are sufficient, then they
apply in still greater degree to-
Mi. Guttersen. The stability Of Mr..
cCleary is visible in his unoon-
trollable standpattism only. His po-
litical hesitancy, his various changes
with regard to appointments within
his gift, his manifold proceedings to
to cater to some Of his constituents
in order to get their votes, his con-
slant policy Of using almost any
means available to pacify conflict
ing interests and rally them around
him at any cost, are too we'll known
in the Second district to deserve
more than passing mention. On
the other hand, Mr.. Guttersen is es-
tablishing as clean a record in his
congressional campaign as he did
when he was running for the state
legislature. He makes no promises,
holds out no selfish motive to get
votes. The News hints that Gutter
sen is playing upon some popular
chord to catch votes. This is pure
fabrication. Mr.. Guttersen's plat
form will, no doubt get him many
votes and it should for he is in line
with the widespread and growing
sentiments of the independent re-
publican voters throughout the
land he is in perfect harmony with
the progressive party leaders, such
as Congressman Tawney, vice-chair-.
man of the National Republican
Congressional Committed. Elmer
Dover, secretary of the National
Republican Committee, and many
Others. Mr.. Guttersen belongs to
the present; Mr.. McCleary is a
back number.
