Denton. Md, Oct. S1.-In entertaining
fashion. Secretary Of the Navy Bona
parte this afternoon dealt with the trust
situation. He appeared here in advocacy
Of the election of William H. Jackson.
Republican candidate for Congress. who.
he declared, was cheated out of the
seat he ought to have hlled In the pres
en-, House"
He stated that the prosperity OF the
country was a source of some serious en-
barrassment. having developed a crop OF
crCesuses without precedent IN history.
THE present situation" he said. ''re-
mirds me OF a story concerning the late
Johns Hopkins. To a stranger visiting his
barnyard, Mr.. Hopkins pointed out big.
stronE, greedy, over-fed hog, which
crowded away the other pigs from their
swill, and got far more than its share
Had that hog been a man. said the phi
IanthTcpist. he would have been q mill
licnaire several times over
Now. our big. strong. greedy. over-pros-
porous trusts are animals Of the like or
der. they crowd their smaller and weaker
fellows from the feeding trough so that
national prosperity; the problem is how 70
so fence on the great beasts as to give
the little ones a show. The Democrats
propose TO cut of the supply OF swill, or.
in other words. to destroy our prosperity
by unsettling all our business relations; no
doubt this process would soon make the
big hogs thin as razor backs, but would
the small ones fare any the better?
Not Worried About Daniel.
I'VE are troubled about the existing
state OF affairs which lately existed. jus,
as the little girl was who saw a picture Of
Daniel in the lions den. She weDt CO.
piously, and when her mother sought TO
console her by explaining that the prophet
would suffer no harm. exclaimed amid
sobs: 'Oh, Ma! am afraid the little lion
over there il the corner won't get his
share

wanted a square deal for every one.
whether pig OF lion or man. and. under his
leadership. the Republican party has tried
10 put and keep each Of our trusts in its
own proper pen. where il can't crowd out
any Of the little fellows around IT,
7 have come to ask that you ado one
Of the Republican majority Of the next
House Of Representatives by putting your
good friend and neighbor. Hon William
Il. Jackson. into the seat he ought 20
have filed in the present House.
Your present Representative holds his
place, not by the voters choice recorded
by the election officers but by the voters
blunders and the election officers mis-
counts. two years IS long enough. indeed
10 is just twenty-four months TOO long,
to have a seat in the National Legisla-
ture held by no better title.
But II is even more important more
important because affecting the whole
of this great country. and not merely
one State or one district In a State. that
each one Of US shall do all that in him
lies 10 keep the next House safely in
Republican hands. Republican rule and
national prosperity came In together ten
years ago, and have stayed with Us to
Eether since. ] do not say Il is certain
that the one viii go out il the other
goes out. but / do say there is enough
chance Of their leaving US together to

countries now grown to dimensions which
almost take ,.way ones breath. but it has
grown under Republican rule. without

than il did under Democratic rule. wien

Our President wants and has always
wanted a square deal for everyone He
urges. in the strongest terms that TO COM
plete the good work Of the present Con
gress the next House OF Representative
ike the present. must be Republican.
Again. J give you his words.
% TO change the leadership and organl-
zatiOn OF the House al this time means
to bring confusion upon those who have
been successfully engaged in the steady
working out OF q great and c0mprehen-
siye scheme for the betterment Of our

"FeilOw-citiZens. ask YOU TO do your
part in warding on this calamity You
cannot assure the President OF the coun-
try that voters in all districts now Re
publican will SO do their duty that the
majority IN the next House shall equal
