Of making these weighty declarations

Lauds His Party.

a
Culberson asserted the Democratic
party made no war on wealth, nor
sought to imhitter the poor against
the rich. He desired to place tho
present rate legislation upon the prin-
ciples Of equality and right. It would
not give any man favors by the law
which would afford them unequal ad-
vantages In the race of life. Democra.
cy believed in dispersion, not concen'
tration OF power, and had abiding faith
IN the efficiency of popular sovereignty
The Democratic party is a .narty to
the constitution" He charged the Re
publicans with bringing about centrali-
zation power in Washington, encroach-
ment on the rights OF states, and i'm
position of taxation not for public, but
for private purposes. The pending
bill, he said was primarily to protect
manufacturers from, foreign compe,
tition not to provide revenue for the
government It was the tax levied to
augment private fortunes. Individual
Democrats might favor free trade.
he declared but the Demo
cratic party believed in a reve-
nue. tariff. and was opposed to protec-
tion on either finished products or raw
materials. In the Dingley bill, he
charged the people were required to
pay a tribute to the amount OF $780,
100000 annually to protect the manu-.
facturers, mosly trusts.

GYPSY BOUGHT BRIDE.
Now Tribe Is Divided by a Feud
Which Courts Will Settle.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-There is feud
between two gypsy tribes, with Chi
cago and vicinity as the scene of con-
fict. The alleged kidnapping of 13
year old Amelia Johnson, from her
father, Ephraim Johnson in Eliza
beth, N. J., three years ago, started
it. The arrest of Zalacho Demetro on
a charge of stealing the girl aggravat-
ed the feud.
Now Nichols George, his wife, and
three children, said to be members of
Johnsons band of gypsies, are under
arrest and may be deported. They
were arrested when they arrived in
Chicago, presumably to aid Johnson
in getting his daughter back.
Demetro's nomads informed the
authorities that the Georges were
Struggled" in from Canada after be-
ing denied admission by way of De-
troit.
The. gypsy girl repeated on the
stand before Judge Better that she
did not want to return to her father,
but preferred to live with the Deme-
tros because she loved to travel.
Demetro declared his son was
Amelia's husband and that the girls
father had been paid $1,000 for her.
He said $500 was spent for a bridal
feast. The girl and boy were held to
the juvenile court.

MAKES A PREDICTION.
Case Broderick Thinks Anthony Will
Win and Surely Be Reelected.

Case Broderick of Holton predicts the
reelection of Dan Anthony to congress
from the First district on the Taft issue.
He places party regularity ahead of other
things and believes that Kansas Republi-
cans will send only men to congress who
will work with the president in all things.
M M T. Broderiek's letter follows;
While some localities in the state are
being stirred over the question as to
whether Kansas is now Taft or anti-Taft,
the Republicans this way, for the most
part, while believing that Taft will sue
coed himself and that Kansas will be in
discussion of that question for a while
and in the meantime elect Republican
staod With Mr Ta fd or ge
ton desired
Regarding. First. district politics. Mr..
Anthony will surely be renominated and
reelected by a good majority. He is a
close student of public questions has
untiring energy and his ability and useful
He stands we'll at Washington and the
voters of this district will not supplant him
with an inexperienced member and one
who will be antagonistic to the president
and his administration.
There is nothing urged against Mr..
president and with the Republican ma
jority in the house in voting for speaker
and for the tariff bill
AS a Republican sent to Washington by
Republicans from a district that has been
Republican through all the upheavals and
not have been expected to have voted
for Democratic speaker. A Republican
member of congress may vote with the
opposition upon legal or business PROPOSE
tons without being subject to criticism
by his constituents. They would not ex-
of legislation because the measure was
advocated by members of the opposite
party, but the speaker of the house of
representatives ranks in power and Off
cial dignity next to the president of the
United States Mr.. Anthony could not,
fhAr 1,o- aSr1c% w
eron after he had been nominated by the
Republican caucus without deliberately
aiding an effort to subvert and destroy
party prestige and to transfer the political
power of the house of representatives to
the Democratic minority.
Such a vote by Mr.. Anthony would have
violated his implied pledges to every man
in his district who voted for him last
year.
No Republican should have asked or
this and other questions Mr.. Anthony
voted and acted as the great majority
of his supporters expected and desired
Had the voters of his congressional dis
trict favored the Bryan policies or the
overthrow Of Republican rule in congress
who was committed to their line of policy
instead of choosing Republican
The Republicans elected Mr.. Taft presi-
dent and also the majority OF the congress
who were in accord with him. Business
began to improve soon as the result
of the election was made known and mas
continued to improve ever since.
There is no evidence of disappointment
or unrest anywhere except from a few over
ambitious politicians whose stock of rhe-
toric is being impaired in the effort to
make the people believe that in some way
