Mt. zion. Lincoln County, Aug.
8 At the pilsric at Mt. Zion, after

address in the interest of his candi-s
dacy, a big debate opened up be-
tween the candidates for Congress,
beginning with a warm Democratic
speech BY Hon. Tom Shelton, Lin.
coin county s candidate. who made
a vigorous attack on Mr.. Dickson S
record in Congress when the latter
voted in the interest Of the Lum-
Der Trust. Mr.. Shelton reminded
This audience that his attack on Mr..
| Dickson was not personal, but al
together in reference to his record
He stated that unless he made that
record public. many voters would
perhaps never know how Mr.. Dick.
son voted, and would not, there
fore. be prepared to vote in the
looming primary irl an enlightened
way. What he had to say about
the record was merely to give the
people information. They we're
entitled to know these things, for
1.-THE acts of their public servants
were their property The people
do not read the Congressional Rec
lord, because they do not get it. and
they have a right to be Informed
as to whether their congressman
voted according to their promises.
| Mr.. Shelton showed that the
Democratic party declared for free
lumber. and demanded that the
tariff thereon be removed. he
showed that two years ago Mr
/ Dickson. when candidate for Con-
gress. declared that he stood on the
platform Of the Democratic party /.
and said that the platform was al
admirable instrument; there were
40 flaws in If. After Mr. Dickson
went to Washington he changed bis
mind and voted against one Of the
