Mr.. Helvering then undertook to
compare Mr.. Rees' statements be-
fore the primary with those he has
made since. Judge Rees said at
Manhattan before the primary" the
speaker asserted, that Mr.. Taft and
congress has handed the people 81
gold brick in the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. The Judge denies that he said
that, but anyway, in the pamphlet
put forth by the Rees club Of Salina,
he Is quoted as saying that the people
believe they have been handed a gold
brick in that law. 1t looks as though
the Judge Is trying to hide his opin-
ion behind that OF the people, but
note this, which ever way It is, the
source Of the information is the
Judge. Now listen to what the Judge
said after the primary at Assaria and
also In Saline county-at least he
was 50 reported in Mr.. Bristow's pa
per, the Salina Journal. do not
know whether the Judge will still
say it wasn't authentic: 1T Is time
that we turn to battle again to pre-
serve the Union!' The fact the
Judge says the same thing after the
primary that Mr.. Calderhead said be-
fore the primary.
