campaign the people will begin to
generally understand how shamefully
the opposition have misrepresented
the facts in relation to the tariff bill.
While it is not all that every repub-
lican wished it to be, it is repub-
lican measure, passed ~ republ:'
can congress, approved by repuDl1'
can president, and is doing exactly
what it's friends represented it would
do. 1t protects American working
men and American interests, agricul.
tural and manufacturing, and provides
the necessary revenues to pay the
expenses of the government. 1t is &C.
ceptable to President Taft, and to
those who have been identified with
the republican party from principle.
Those who would destroy anything to
gain place for themselves within the
party are not satisfied with it and for
the same reason would not be salts
fed with anything those who occupy
the places they want might do.
Mr.. McCumber has worked in har-
mony with Mr.. Hanna in all matters
pertaining to the interests of the
state, and Mr.. Hanna has taken an
interest in all of the measures per-
tanning to the state which were pend
ing in the house. Working together
they have been very successful in Sc
curing legislation for the state. II
farmer had couple of hands who
were up early and late, doing always
the right thing at the right time, ne
would scarcely turn them off Just
because two other fellows wanted
their jobs. There Is no other reason
for turning off Senator McCumber and
Congressman Hanna. Mr.. Hanna Is
extremely popular with all classes in
Washington. I met him one night at
meeting of old soldiers. They were
charmed with his earnest good will
and love for them. His father was
a soldier of the civil war. And Mr..
McCumber has greater measure OF
love in the hearts Of those who fought
and bled for the country than any
other statesman now living. He found
the way to justice for them, for their
widows and orphans.
There are many thousand former
citizens of Iowa in North Dakota.
Ask them what Iowa did with the
funds arising from the sale of school
lands in that state. Ask them II the
state ever realized for the public
schools of that state from the disl'osi-
ton of it's land grant as much as
North Dakota is now annually appor-
tioning to it's public schools. They
were sold for nominal figures and in
many instances the proceeds were
loaned to individuals and lost. North
Dakota school funds were protected
and built up by the men who are de-
nounced as old gang republicans. But
they never betrayed trust. They
never spent either unwisely or ex-
travagantly the funds of the state.
They protected the interests of the
state by wise legislation and built
good and strong constitutional bar
riers. The debt limit and the pro-

through them and the men they have
elected the prohibition law has been
strengthened wherever weakness de-
veloped. No one has ever had occa'
sion to hound any one who has been
responsible for the management Of
party interests in the state with the
cry of "stop, thief"
The last saloon, by the way, is
about to disappear in Alexandra
county, Va. They have neither local
option nor prohibition. The judges
may issue licenses but they refuse to
do so in the absence of adequate
police protection. They disappeared
from Alexandria some five years ago.
And this reminds me. Forty-1ine
years ago this morning I was with
the very first regiment. of Union
troops to march across the long
bridge into Virginia. We marched to
Alexandria. Ellsworth went down by
boat. Ellsworth was killed after
hauling down the flag from the Mar
shall house. It was sad day, but
there were many funny Incidents
The captain of my company knocked
over a saucy secessionist, and then
made him swear allegiance to the
United States, the state Of Michigan

gan, of which I was then a member.
| He thought the boys were dry. He
marched them into a saloon, gave the
order front" and an order for beer.
This was followed by Fright face!
Forward march! Left! Left! Left!
And the Dutchman who kept the
place, in telling of the incident, re-
peated the commands, and said, "And
they did all left and did not pay
cent for der beer!"
