Francis NJ. Brady, who was defeat
ed for election to congress in the
Third district in the recent election,
has issued a statement to the voters OF

stories printed in the Republican COR

Standard Oil part in the recent cleo
ton. Mr.. Brady says:
''Oswego. Kan. Nov IS. 1906
ITO the Voters of the Third Congress
sional District Of Kansas:
ION November 26th the Kansas City
Journal published an article insinuat-
ing that 1 had spent a vast sum OF
money in the last campaign. and that
the Standard Oil company was back
ing me. That article is absolutely
false=I never received a penny from
any person, corporation or organiza-
ton to assist me in my campaign. A
large number of speeches from the
Congressional Records were received
and distributed. Every dollar I spent
in the campaign was my own money
earned by me in my business as law
yer.
Some of the Republican candidates
cannot say as much and tell the truth.
Neither did my congressional commit
tee handle or receive one dollar of
money from any source I paid my
own way and am ready to furnish to
the public an itemized account of my
election expenses, down to the smallest
details. Will Mr.. Campbell do so
Will hin committee do so?
Had I been elected I would have
simply owed the people of this district
my oath bound duty to fill the office
elected no man in America would
have taken greater pleasure in. or
worked harder than I would to de-
stroy the accursed power of the Stan
dard Oil company. the trusts and the
monopolies, which have grown upsu un-
der Republican rule and fed them
selves fat upon millions filched from
the hands of the people by methods
no less criminal than robbery only
more cowardly- The article publish
ed by the Journal spe.rllaps ought to be
treated with silent contempt as IL Is
OF no force or effect to those who
know me. but I have never been
afraid to let the people know where I
stand on any question. and am still
willing to spend my talents and time
defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments and decep-
tions OF falsehood and crime
