There are two ways to conduct a
political campaign. Oae is to get
votes, no matter how; the other
is to make an open, courageous
aggressive fight for definite prin
ciplss and policies. Those who
have heard Phil Campbell and JET
Hudson in this campaign have had
an example of these two methods.
Mr.. Hudson's speeches are these OF
a maA who has no we'll defined idea
Of any policy that he will pursue
should he be elected. He makes
charges and statements which he
knows to be absolutely false, and
makes insinuations against Mr..
Campbell where he dares not make
an open and unqualified statement.
Mr.. Campbell is making a campaign
that cemmends itself to every fair
minded aud intelligent man, no
matter what his politics may be. 1t
is clear cut aAd his statements are
made without any strings to them.
He is making a campaign upon the
record of the Republican party
which he has helped to make and
for the carrying out of national
policies which he has helped to
and which he will help to
The campaign Of Mr..
Hudson is that of q man who will
do anything to secure the necessary
votes to elect him. Take for In
stance, his statement that MI.
voted to raise his owp
salary and that Mr.. Campbell in
the bill raising the salaries
Of congressman from S., 900 to ST.
500 a year, when the Congressional
RECORD shows that so far from Mr..
Campbell introducing the measure,
he voted against 1t. The only policy !
that Mr.. Hudson may be said to
have, and this is judged from his
voting for the Wilson German bill,
s that he is in favor of unrestricted
free trade. The character of the
iwo men can be judged by the cam
,aign they are making.

The Protection OF the
Ware Scale.

Under our presAnt law we place q
tariff on goods made BY underPaid
labor Ia Esrope, so that these goods
cannot come into American markets
to the disadvantage Of American
goods made by higher paid .Ameri-
can workers. We protect in this
way the American wage scale against
The competition of cheap foreign
labor. II the law which gives this
protection is removed and Ameri-
can manufacturers have to meet the
prices of goods made by European
labor, the wage scale of the Amer
can workmen will have to be cut
down. Mr.. Bryan and his party do
not believe In the principle of the
protective tariff and want to abolish
It. Hasn't American labor all the
ompstition it can stand without
adding tho competition of under
paid foreign labera The Republl-
can law which protects the wage
scale of American workmen will not
be abolished ualess the werkmen
abolish 1t themselves by voting the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Taft prem
ises to Improve the law, but to
MAINTAIN the principle; n. Bryan

What the people Of the Third Dis
trict should do IS to see that they
send to congress a man with kaown
capabilities, one who has proven his
ability to take part in the great work
thatis now pendIng in congress. Phil

on every occasion and he has had a
prominent part in the work that Is
now pending and is able to assist

The New Tax Law.

Some Of our Democratic speakers
are going about over the county
misreprssenting the effects Of the
new tax law in an endeavor to make
the country voter dissatisfied with
Republican rule. In their zeal to
make 4 big impression on the voter,
to create prejudice against the Re-
publican party and inclte favorable
opinions of the Democrats, they
try to hnd much fault with the
law aad make glowing promises of
what the Democrats would do had
they the power. tits easy to fad
fault and easy to misrepresent and
a Kansas Democrat is perfectly safe
In promising any kind of legislation
in Kansas when his party gets in
power. The chances for such q
calamity are 50 remote he takes NO
risk. These orators tell US that un.
der the new law everything 10 taxed,
even the chickens that the good
house wife uses to secars \ little
pin money for herself, and every
thing else in sight or that can be
uusarthed. That 10 just the mean
ing of the law, aad for that reassn
Thousands of dollars in noies and
mortgages held by town people
have been taxed this year that haye
escaped heretofore. That lightens
the tax on the farmer. The County
Assessor is paid by the day for
the time put in instead of receiving
a handsome salary whether he works
or not, as has been represented.
But, to settle the question, many
farmers have taken the pains to 20,
to Erie aud investigate their tax
for this year and every one that We
have heard from reports HE taxes
less this year than last, unless some
special tax is levied this year.
That should silence the, Demo
cratic orator. If it covers the tax
on the farmer and places an ad-
ditional tax on the city man and
the money loauer the farmer has
no kick coming aad the Democratic
orator has wasted his breath.

The people of the state generally
cannot help but notice the difference
in the character of the campaign put
up by the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Chairman Dolley Of the Re.
publican state committee, has coa.
Quoted his campaign on Il high
plane. He has simply stuck to the Is
sues. He hasuot dealt inpstsenalitiss
or attempted to besmirch a single
Democratic candidate, Aor humiliate
his family, Had he wanted to have
gone into filth he had plenty OF
ammunition. But he didn't and he
suppressed it. On the other hand
the Democratic managers have con
Quoted perhaps the dirtiest political
fight ever waged in Kansas. No
stone has been left unturned in the
way of political villainy. mountains
have been made from molehills and
wings have been given to every vile
rumor, even though the Democratic
managers themselves knew there was
nothing in them. Their idea was
that !, might fool some of the peo-
pie. But it seems that the only
people fooled have been the Demo
cratic managers themselves. The
indications are that the people will
repudiate such contemplate methods
by giving the Republican ticket
evea q greater majority thaa the
Republieau managers are hgurins

The widest dreams Of the demo-
cratic prophets do not reach the
limit Of even the probability of q
democratic congress. Why then
should the Third district send a
man to congress who as a minority
member, even if he had twice the
ability conceded % Jeff Hudson,
will be absolutely pewerless to do a
single thing for the district or its
people, let alone taking any part in
national legislation.

1t Is as necessary the country
should elect a republican congress
as that Judge Taft should be elected
President. His election to the
presidency will mean little for the
natisn il a congress composed Of
majority of members who are
opposed to his policies are elected.
President Roosevelt makes q strong
plea for the election of 4 congress
that will work in harmony with Mr..
Taft. Congressman Campbell is
one of these mea whom Mr.. Taft
needs Ia congress. He has had the
experience and has proven his
ability, integrity and loyalty to the
people of this district.

There is an impression in some
quarters that the people of Kansas
will vote direct for United States
senator at the coming election. This
is a mistake. The names OF the
candidates for Uaited States senator
will no, appear on the official ballot
The senator will be elected by the
legislature jsst the same as in the
past. The way to help J. l.. bris-

Phil Campbell has always bsel

Phil Campbell has always been
honest with the people. If he has
advocated a measure 1t has beek
because he believed it was tor the
best interest Of the people. He
ha, at all times asked for the advice
of the people of this district as to
what they wanted and as near as
possible he has consulted With them
en- matters of interest to the men
vhon he represents.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-10-30


Mr.. Campbell was never stronger
in all parts Of his district than he i.
to-day, and he was never stronge;
with all classes ofvoters. The Thirc
District never needed Campbell c.
much in congress as it does now,
aad the people Of the district realize
that. He represents NO faction
within the party, but the entire
party. He stands for revision ol
the tariff, md it was Mr.. Campbell
who introduced q resolution IN the
last session of congress fer a com
mission TO revise the tariff. Mr..
Hudson has said that he does not
favor tariff revision, but free trade,
and there is not a farmer, q miner,
4 railroad man or a merchant in the
district who does not know what
the free trade of the Democratic
party means. In the great fight
that is to be fought to a finish be
tween the trusts and the people,
the Third District wants the man
in congress as their representative
who dealt the Standard Oil Com.
pany, the father of ali trusts, the
wsrst and the most staggering bio "
it has ever received-the blow that
almost killed father.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-10-30

The records of the state tax COM
mission show that the railroads OF
Kansas will pay more take, this year
than they did under the old law last
year. They also show that the rail-
roads are assessed at $40, ,oo2 a mile
in Kansas, against SIAI3o In Mis-
souri; s9, 656 in Colorado; $aa,77S
in Michigan and $3o,874 in Wis.
consiA. In view of these facts the
Democrats will have 4 hard time
getting anywhere with their charge
that the new tax law is in the in
t.rests of the railroads and against
the farmers.

While the Democratic campaign
managers are tying to prejudice
the negroes against the Republican
ticket on account Of the Brownsville
affair, President Roosevelt is going
right ahead trying to secure redress
for insults offered some Kansas neg.
roes by the Democratic officials OF
Oklahoma. Recently q prominent
negroe Of Oklahoma died IN Kansas
and several prominent Kansas neg.
roes accompanied his body to Okla
homs. When they reached tha
state line they were ordered to 90
into the Jim Crow car. They claim
ed they were interstate passengers
and entitled to ride in the car they
were in. A sheriff was notified by
wire and met the train at the next
stop and by force compelled the
Kansas negroes to 60 iuto the Jim
Crow car. The negroes reported
the case to the district attorney of
Oklahoma but he paid no attention
to it. Then they wrote to President
Roosevelt. Immediately he ordar-
ed the department of justice to take
. ich steps as were necessary 10 pua-
ish the Oklahoma officials.

The election of Mr.. Taft will
mean that the republican party will
be true to its record Of the last
seven years, and the reelection Of
Mr. Campbell means that the Third
iDistrict through its representive in
congress stands by that record.

A CHANGE u ,,ROGREss

The New York papers are begin
ming to sit up and take notice" Of
the unexpected strength Bryan IS
developing In Tnat state The wise
and Judicious conservatism that n
has displayed since his nomination
is having its effect even in New
York and is bringing to his suppnri
men and elements that were not
counted upon. The campaing be-
gan with Ne wYork conceded to the
Republicans, together with practi-
cally all the territory east of The
Ohio and north OF the Potomac:
now there are several states there
in which we have more than a fight
ing chance, and the Republicans are
showing anxiety about New York
New York is normally Democra-
ic. 1t was the alarm felt and the
antagonism aroused by what was
regarded as Bryan's extreme radi-
calism that made New York appar-
emily hopelessly Republican In any
presidential election IN which he
was the nominee Of the Democrats.
| Hearsts Independence League
movement seemed to destroy the
last vestige of Democratic hope to
carry New York in this election
But that there is a marked change
in progress is apparent. How far
| it has already progressed we can
not tell; but if nothing arises to
check t. the Republicans may wei
| feel anxious for the state.
Hearst and his League are doing
much less harm than was expect
ed: and Bryan's conservatism is do
| ing a world OF good.
This last cause is having its eff
| feet. not only in New York, but IN
other states of the east, and the
| Democrats are now far-very far
from conceding to the enemy
the country north and east of the
| two rivers.
1t may well be that our great
| gains will be in the east instead OF
the west. Mr.. Bryan's conserya-
tism since his nomination has been
as gratifying to his friends as II
has been surprising and disappoint-
| ,ng TO his enemies. Il has done
much for him. and bids fair to do
| more. -R,chmond journal
