REPUBLICAN WON 7.
SUPPORT DENBY.
Vote for Congressman Would Be In
dorsing Cannon, Aldrich and
Ballinger, He Says.

To the Editor OF The Times:
I am Republican. and supported
Mr.. DENLY for congress on the former
occasions on which he ran for that
office in this district shall not vote
for him this time for the reason, as
| believe. that on the main issues he
has not represented for some time,
and does not now represent, the SEN
timent OF the majority of his party
In this district.
The main issues in this election are
centered around the question whether
Cannonism, Aldrichism. and Ballinger-
ism, favoring the big predatory inter
ests, shall be upheld or put down.
The tariff is not vital issue just now.
A new tariff has just gone into effect
and no important change Is likely for
the next two years at least. de-
cline to be inundated against regis
tering my vote against Cannon, Aid
rich, and Ballinger by Mr.. Denby's
statement that Mr.. Doremus will ruin
the business OF the district Mr.. Dor
emus can do absolutely nothing so far
as the tariff is concerned, during the
next two years, unless Mr.. Taft and
a Republican senate permits II. But
Mr.. DENLY working with Cannon, Aid.
rich, and Ballinger, can increase the
strangle hold of the big interests
nightly during the next two years.
Were a vote Of the Republicans OF
this district taken today on the ques-
ton of confidence in Cannon, Aldrich,
and Ballinger, an overwhelming ma
jority against them would be record
ed, and yet by voting for Mr.. DENLY
We o. X. these men as strongly as
though we voted directly for them.
Mr.. DENLY has gone out Of his way
to "bravely" assert his allegiance to
these men and what they stand for.
Our party is in danger of defeat all
along the line this fall, solely be-
cause OF the opposition to these men
and what they stand for. For Repub-
leans of the First district TO indorse
and support these men at this election
will, in effect, be an act reasonable
to the future welfare OF the party.
refuse to be a party to such a short
sighted policy.
A few years ago we helped to elect
Mr.. Lucking to rid ourselves OF con-
gresham, VINO, we thought. was too
friendly with the predatory interests.
Nothing to our detriment happened
then, but We got rid OF an objection
able candidate, and at the next con-
gressional election we elected a Re-
publican without any trouble. This is
exactly what we ought to do again.
Mr.. Doremus can absolutely do no
harm In the tariff matter during the
next two years IL he wants to, and
do not believe he wants to.
Let us not be simple-minded child
rem to be scared into voting for Can
nonism, Aldrichism, and Ballingerism,
the real issue, by the tariff "bogie
man" that Mr.. DENLY holds up before
us. foH by this election the tariff will
not be affected unfavorably and Mr..
DENLY knows 1t. But, IL elected, he
will surely have cause to laugh in his
sleeve at the success of his presen-
tation OF his "bogie man."
Inasmuch as this is not written for
the purpose of advertising the writer,
ask you to withhold my name, which
give you herewith, and put me down
In print as
NOT A SHORT-SIGHTED
REPUBLICAN.
