HARRY G.. WOODWARD,
Declares for Cannon and the Payne
Aldrich Tariff Bill al
Cairo.
Glenville Democrat.

At an extensively advertised
! opening of the campaign" at
Cairo last week, Congressman
Joe Gaines, of the Third, and
Harry c. woodward, of the
Fourth, spoke 70 a small crowd
Of people. At the outset OF his
remarks, Mr.. woodward went on
record as rank "standpatter"
IS to tariff, and a devoted follow
er of Joe,Cannon in general. He
definitely aligned himself with
that element of his party which
is consistently and persistently
opposed to all progressive ideas
and progressive legislation, in
fact, opposed to everything cal
culated to better the condition of
the great mass of common peo-
pie, and in favor of everything
favored by the trusts, the corpo-
rations and the special interests.
His declaration of faith, accord
ing to the Parkersburg Dispatch
News, Republican, is as follows;
/ have no apologies to offer
for having voted for Cannon for
Speaker, nor for any support
which ! have given him..
The Payne-Aldrich bill is the
best tariff measure ever given
the people of this country"
By the first declaration we are
to infer that Mr.. woodward.
would again vote, if the opportu-
nifty presented itself, to confer
the speakership upon Joe Can
non, admittedly and confessedly
! the worst enemy of reform in the
interest of the whole people this
country has ever known. He
glorifies himself upon his aristoc-
racy, his contempt for labor anc
honest toll, and rather prides
himself upon The fact that un
! der the rules of the House, which
| Mr. woodward and other reac-
| honaries help him to maintain,
he has been able to stifie all leg.
islation in commit not ex
pressly acceptable to the moniec
interests Of the country.
By his second declaration he is
admittedly opposed to an honest
revision of the tariff, pronounces
/ the present makeshift and frauC
the best ever offered the peo-
pie. ~ On the same day that Mr..
woodward was enunciating these
declarations Of belief the Repub
leans Of Kansas were holding
their State convention, and here
is one of the planks adopted by
| the convention on that day,
1--WE do not recognize the re.
vision of the tariff of 1910 as sat
isfactory fulfillment of the tariff
pledge Of the Republican plat
form.
Now who is Alright on this tar
if business, the Republican
party Of Kansas in convention as,
sembled, or II. G. woodward OF
the Fourth West Virginia dis
trict? If the Payne-Albrich tar
if bill is the best ever" will Mr.
| woodward kindly explain why
Republican state conventions in
| Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa. Califor.
MIA, Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Indiana, and other states, have
mot only refused to endorse it.
but have unhesitingly condemn.
/ ed 1t as party measure?
For declarations similar to the
| ones made by MIR. woodward al
. Cairo, six out Of eight Republi
| can congressman in the State
|of Kansas were retired to pr
vate life.
| These declarations show Mr..
/ woodward to be out of sympathy
with the interests and the re.
Quiremonts Of the people whom
/ he seeks to represent.
lie should be required 10 ster
aside.
