Immediately the students raised
nearly two hundred dollars, and with
an added fifty by the Lawrence mer-
chants, the expenses for medicinal
aid were entirely paid for. The
readiness with which the raising of
the fund was carried out and the
many additional pledges made to
provide for further ueed, showed the
strength of sympathy that exists

Think 1t Over.

Democrats talk as though the
country were on the verge of ruin,
Is ii?
Wages were never higher.
Our factories were never buster.
Our railroads never had greater
mileage, or larger number of loco.
motives and cars in use every min
ute of the day and night.
There never were so few idle
men.
Farmers never had so good a
market for the product of thei,
farms.
Prosperity was never more mark
ed or more general.
Where is the distress?
Where are the soup houses?
Where are the Coxey's armies?
What industry is on the decline?
What workingman who wants work
fails to find it?
Think it over.

MIR. Campbe11's Record.

"Mr. Campbell, if elected, will
use the power of his office to sustain
the Republican president and to help
him fulfil the pledges of the Re.
publican platform. There are many
things In his record which com.
mend Elm to the progressive ele-
rnent + the Republican, oarty. He
was an earnest advocate of tie
principles Of conservation Of natural
resources and endorses the policy
OF conserving these resources as
announced by Theodore Roosevelt,
Clifford Pinchot and James Garfield.
II. has repeatedly pledged himself
in public to these policies. In ad-
ditlon to this, he has aided by his
vote and Influence, the passage Of
the most progressive measures of
the administrations of Roosevelt
and Taft. Among these might be
mentioned, the act providing for
arbitration, employers liability;
the establishment of bureau OF
immigration and naturalization; the
Panama cana pure food and drugs;
the immunity of witnesses IN cases
affecting corporations, { most i'm
portant law; the publicity of cam
paign contributions by corporations; !;
limiting the hours of employment
for railway employees anti-pass law;
the prohibition of the white slave
traffic, "a law vigorously opposed
by the Democrats, because they
said it interfered with state rlghts);
the railroad rate law; the conssrva-
tion of natural resources; making it
a penitentiary offense to create
trust or monopoly. 1t shouId also
be said to Mr.. CampbelPs credit
that he voted for an amendment to
the railroad law, which if passed,
would have prohibited the increase
of stock of railroad corporations
except by government subscriptions.
and which would Lave prevented
one railroad from owning stock in

A Game That Won't Work
Think it over

If the Democratic spellbinders
can call the progressives and
regulars of the Republican party
into their ranks at one and the
same time, they can win first honors
at the siren show. And they are
trying TO do just that thing in this
campaign. They are catering to
both wings and as a natural result
will get neither. And they will
probably lose good many Demo
cratic votes while they are off the
Bourbon reservation flirting with
Republicans who had buried their
own troubles as long ago as the
second day of last August.
