4 REPUBLICAN OPINION

Senator Gu mmips of Iowa is a
republican. In a recent speech,
he said: -" '5;,.
"Some men have said we passed
a good tariff law. l don't think
so. Leaders of the senate and
house deliberately repudiated the
republican platform and srevised
the tariff in the interest of the
manufacturers and big cororations
and not in the interest O.. the
American public. Whenever
the American people have oppor-
tunity to pass judgement on that
tariff bill they will consign the
men who made lit to eternal
infamy." .-.... .u.e 20, :,
Senator Cummins, Dolliver,
Bristow, Beverage. republicans
and the democrats fought gallantly
in the senate to make the tariff bill
in the interest of the people, but
Aldrich and his band of regulars
voted down all amendments that
protected the people and voted for
every amendment that would rivet
the shackles of industr ial slavery
more. secure upon the American
people.
The people of Nevada should
not forget that Senator George S.
Nixon was one of Aldrich's most
subs ervient, followers. They
should remember that Mr.. Nixon
answered the senate roll-call 129
times on the tariff. bill and that
1913 of the 129 times he voted with
M. Aldrich. He is one of the
men who made the tariff bill and
one of the men that Senator Cum
minis had in mind when he said:
Whenever the American people
have opportunity to pass judge
ment on that tariff bill they will
consign the men who made it to
eternal infamy."
Sentaor Nixon is candidate for
reelection He is asking the sup
port of the people on his record as
a senator. A vote for him is an
endorsement of his votes on the
tariff bill: Opposed to him is Key
Pittman, democrat, who will not
follow the lead of Aldrich or men
of his stamp. A vote for. him in
November will be a vote to send
Mr.. Nixon to keep company with
Hale of Maine and Burrows of
/. Michigan, two of Aldrich's lieu
tenants, who have been repudiated
by their people.

FOR OCTOBER
copy-isht by c. II. Roth

Went down in a heap.
He rested his broncho and fed
him his fill, and then he rode yell
T ing up Capitol Hill. He wasn't
expecting or asking thing, but
he landed right in the political
ring, shouting Unto 'em, Teddy,
and into 'em plump!" and the poor
politicians went down in a lump.
He watered his pinto and fed
him some oats.
And then he remounted and
hunted for goats.
He found him some people who
didn't agree.
With all of his notions, and gave a
whoop-pee, "..
Yelling, Unto 'em, Teddy,
&c. An into'em hot!"
And he knocked them all into
me plttomleSS bot.
He hobbled his charger and gave
him some grass, and then he went
after someone in his class. He put
up lion with blood in its eye. and
he clapped on the spurs with a
terrible cry. saying Unto i'm,
Teddy, an into i'm hard!' and the
lion passed on to his final reward.
He breathed his good mustang and
looked him around,
But futher adventure was not to be
found.
So he pulled up his trousers and
pulled down his vest.
And slowly rode back to his olden-
time West
Shouting "Back to 'em Teddy,
An back to 'em proud"
And they gathered about him
And solemnly bowe d.
He rode in his saddle and rode on
his head and he put all the tender
feet under the bed. He dashed to
the East and he dashed to the West
and he halted before them expand
ing his chest, saying, "Three cheers
for Teddy, the pride of the west!"
and they took a great pleasure in
doing the rest.
October is from the Latin octo,

the ball was even put into play,
and there was great deal of die
satisfaction at the old Greek and

frequently talked of, but it re-

subject of legislative corruption he said:
II hope the time has gone by when it

represent.
you are not handling your own mon

can much better trust the people if they

trust those who are purchasable and run
the risk in the future of reaping the har-
vest which is inevitable if there be sown
in our legislative halls the seed of brib-
cry and corruption.

Belgrade, Me, Jan. 19--(SpeciaD.-
The store building and story-and-a-

Mrs. Nellie f. Bickford and located at
North Belgrade were destroyed by fire
early this morning. A stable close to
the house was saved by hard work on
the part of the neighbors.
1t is supposed tnat the fire was due
to a defective chimney. The store was
a two-story building, the first floor
being used as a general store and the
second floor as dane" hail. \ por-
ton f the goods in both the house and
store were saved.
Tie estimated loss is fully $1,000. Mrs.

dwelling and $500 or the furniture. the
latter risk being in the Charles r..
