was decorated with flags and he was
given a fine reception because he Sc
cured $50, 900 for new public build
ing there. That is the way town
should appreciate favorsI Mr.. Mil
Ter went at 1t right. Said he:
"some of the newspapers OF Kan
sas that are trying to wreck the Re-
publican party are running a candi-
date against me for congress because
I voted for Uncle joe Cannon for
speaker Of the house. voted for
him because he was the Republican
caucus nominee. Had l not done so
/ would not be Republican. do
not profess to be above or better than
the Republican party. II ] am re-
elected to congress this fall / will en-
deayor to vote at the Republican
caucus for a man for speaker who 10
the choice Of my district, but If he is
defeated for the nomination in the
Republican caucus then will vote
for that Republican caucus nominee
on the floor Of congress, whether
he be Joe Cannon, Walter Smith,
James R. Mann or any other Republic
can"
Mr.. Miller handed Senator LaFol-
lette a few "hot ones;" also he said
that the charges made against Mil
Ter two years ago and which he fully
answered at the time were false.
1.-THE people Of Wisconsin will pass
ON LaFollette's case this fall" said
he. land / want to make the predic-
ton that he is now serving his last
term in the United States senate. He
has betrayed every man who helped
him in his political battles. He has
turned on the very men who financed
his campaigns. Why, Senator steps,
enson of Wisconsin besides furnishing
him barrels of money In his Wiscon-
sin struggles, even paid his room rent
at the Chicago convention, when ne
was running for president and yet'
when Stephenson was up for election
as senator, LaFollette turned against
him because he found he could not
use him as a pawn in the senate. just
think Of the nerve of this sanity poll
tician coming to Kansas to tell you
people how to vote; this saint VINO
voted against free lumber, who want
cd the lumber rates of the old Ding
lev bill either kept as they were or
raised. This Is the man that comes
down here and makes what he calls
Republican speeches at SO much per
speech. And what do you think OF q
Republican who must be paid to
make what he believes are Republic
can speeches even though they are
not" Miller defended the new tariff
bill.
"In a comparatively short time' no.

dent said 1t would do.
81 voted for free lumber and
worked for 1t, but LaFollette ana
his like were against free lumber
and defeated it. also wanted q
duty left on hides, but the free trade
papers had worked up such a senu-
ment that hides were placed on the
free list. They said It would cheaper
shoes. yet shoes were higher today
than ever. The present congress mas
given to the people Of Kansas ana
lth United States more general legis-
llation than ever before In the history
Of all the sessions"
Again referring to the Insurgents
before closing he said:
"when l get ready to quit the Re
publican party l will walk boldly In
to the Democratic party. will moi
stay in my own party sticking q knife
in its back. II you want q congress-
man to obstruet the legislation pro
posed by the party, to oppose the
party's leadership as represented BY
william Howard Taft, DO not vote
for me-"
/ The Fourth district hasa splenoio
congressman in Miller and we pre-
dict that IL will renominate and re-
elect him by 4 larger majority than
before. aff
