Tom Campbell at Smithville

Hon. Tom Campbell, candidate
for congress, on Thursday of last
week addressed an appreciative
audience at the school house, the
directors having kindly consented
TO allow the pupils a recess. The
audience was not so large as 1t
would have been had the weather
and roads been more favorable.
However, a goodly number were
present, representative people who
gave the speaker very close atten-
ton and frequent applause.
Mr.. Campbell took up the bills
introduced IN congress by bis appo-
nent, Mr.. 0ldfeld, and discussed
their relative merits as compared
with the interests of the people.
He spent considerable time in ex-
planning and criticising the "Ark
ansas Sunk Land Bill" which bill
was introduced by his opponent at
request of Senator Davis, and
stated that the passage of this bill
would have taken from hundreds of
Arkansas settlers the little homes
they have built in the forests, and
given the lands to rich corporation
not resident of the state.
Mr. Campbell also stated that he
was in favor cutting down the ex-
penses of the government; of max
ing retrenchment whereby the
people who have too often been
robbed by the unsatible demago-
gues, might be benefited; of a more
equitable division of the appropria.
tlons for internal improvement than
in the past.
Mr.. Campbell promised that if he
was elected be would introduce a
bill in Congress, providing for an
annual appropriation of $50, ,OOO,,
900 for the construction and main
tainance of the country highways
to be equally divided with every
state in the union, and that effort,
would be made to obtain the money
for this great and badly needed i'm
provement from a reduction of ap
preparations much less needed mat
ters, and without increasing tn
already burdensome taxation. Tn
speech was well received and Great
ed a favorable impression. Hon
Crofter.
