Caldwell Speaks.


Last Saturday afternoon Hon, D. J.
Caldwell, candidate for Congress from
the Ninth Congressional District, oppos-
ing Hon. FINS J. Garrett, addressed a
representative gathering Of voters and
delivered one Of his PLAIN, practical
speeches, setting forth his claims for
the high honor to which he aspires.
Mr.. Caldwell has many friends in I.au-
derdale County, he having served this
county in the capacity Of Attorney GEN
eral for number Of years, before the
Sixteenth Judicial circuit was estab-
Iished and took Mr.. Caldwell to the
Fourteenth.
The speaker handled his opponent in
the fairest way his entire discourse be-
ing on high plane and free from mud
Singing. He said that eight years ago
Mr.. Garrett made the successful plea
against long tenure in Congress and
said he agreed with him and supported
him then against his old-time friend,
Mr.. Pierce, He said that he thought
Mr.. Garrett was right then, and that
he knows now that he was right. He
charged that Mr.. Garrett voted to raise
his own salary $4,000 per year. He
said that he had not word 70 say
against his opponent personally. He
contended that his public record was
open for inspection and criticism. He
charged that Garrett had done nothing
to benefit his constituents, and that he
spoke and voted against Federal aid on
rural route public roads, and said that
Mr.. Garrett was opposed to any apprc-
priation for our roads. MIR. Caldwell
said that this was Of great importance
to the people. and bic very much favored
it. He charged that the present In
cumbcnt did nothing for the overlooked
district, The speaker said he favored
governmental drainage system. This,
he said, would benefit the lands, In
crease their value, open. them up for
settlement and increase the country's
revenue by just taxation. He further
said he favored the protection 81 life
and property by the building Of mounds
in the overhowed country.
He said he was opposed to the extravs
agant expenditures Of the Government
but with the continued billion dollar
Congresses he wanted the Ninth District
to receive its part Of the public money.
lie claimed that the Ninth had received
nothing except appropriations FOR post
Office building at Union City and one
at Dyersburg.

Praises Vermont's Executive

Praises NermontS EXECUTIVE
New Haven Conn, June 1.-THE
Times Leader says editorially:
Governor Mead of Vermont, one
of the strongest men that the Green
Mountain state has ever produced,
has been urged by his friends to
come out for the vice presidential
nomination and a vigorous campaign
is being made in his behalf, not only
in Vermont but in many other states.
The movement is meeting with such
favor that it will certainly have the
very careful consideration of the Chi
cago convention.
THE career of Governor Mead has
been a remarkable one. The son of
parents who had not the means to
send him through college, he started
to work his way through the Univer-
sity of Vermont. The Civil war broke
out, however, during the middle of
his course He enlisted In a Yer
mont regiment, served with honor UNI
til the end of the conflict and then
returned to finish his college work.
During the early SOS Governor
Mead managed to gather together
enough money to secure control OF
the Howe Scale Co. of Rutland which
was then in bankruptcy and OF little
value. Today this same concern is
one of the states largest industries
with branches throughout the world
Howe scales are known everywhere
and the profits of the business have
made Governor Mead a millionaire
several times over.
His administration as governor o
Vermont has been characterized b!
the same ability and methods which
brought about such a success in bust
ness life and Governor Mead is gen
orally considered to the the best ex
ecutive the state has had in recen
years.
"a good parliamentarian and pres
iding officer, a brilliant speaker an,
able in debate, Governor Mead is wei
fitted for the duties of the vicepres
dency and for official life at Washing
ton. Although governor of a consel
vative state he himself can hardly
classed as a conservative, his offit
ial record and his public utterance
have shown him to be pretty tho
ugh-going Progressive In fact h
would probably be as satisfactory
one wing of the Republican party a
to the other. AS campaigner
would be a big asset to the Republ
can national ticket"

SOCIALISTS BEGIN CAMPAIGN
Debs and SeldeI Make Addresses Al
Meeting In Chicago

Debs and SeldeI Make Addresses At
Meeting In Chicago
Chicago, June 1.-THE first cam
paign in which the socialist party
has had complete ticket in every
state in the nation opened here yes
terday afternoon. Eugene V. Debs
and Emil Seidel the socialist candi-
date for president and vice president
of the United States, made the chief
addresses. Both candidates spoke at
meeting in Riveryiew park.
Mr.. Debs said In part: In this
campaign there are but two parties
and but one issue. The socalled re-
publican and democratic parties are
substantially one in what they stand
for, opposition to each other on no
question of principle but purely in
contest for the spoils of office. They,
or rather 1t, stands for capitalism, for
the private ownership OF the means
of subsistence for the exploitation OF
the workers and for wage slavery-a
spectacle of political degeneracy new
er before witnessed in this or any
other country.
I'VE have in this city at this hour
an exhibition OF capitalist machine
politics which lays bare the true In
wardness OF the situation in the CAPT
| talist camp. Nothing that any SOC
ialist has ever charged in the way of
corruption is to be compared with
what Taft and Roosevelt have charg-
ed and proved upon one another.
They are both good republicans, just
as Harmon and Bryan are both good
democrats-and they are all agreed
that socialism would be the ruin OF
the country. What difference is there
judged by what they stand for, be
tween Taft, Roosevelt, La Toilette
Harmon. Wilson Clark and Bryan"
For the first time. Mr.. Debs said
the socialist party was now organized
in every state in the union with &
full ticket in the field and there was
but one issue he said, that appealed
to this conquering army-the uncon
ditional surrender OF the capitals
class. Mr.. Debs demanded social jus
tice for everyone and referred to con
ditions in the New England textile
| nillS anu the luInDeI ana railroad
camps of the Northwest, to what h,
called "the civilized savages of San
Diego" to the pressmen's strike il
Chicago and to the shop strikes Of
the Hartman railroads.
The speaker upheld the manner II
which the socialists had gone to tn
rescue OF Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, and he declared that Ettor an
Glovannitti, who are now In Jail a
Lawrence, awaiting trial. on a charg
of murder. were no more guilty OF IN
crime than he himself. Mr.. Debs d.
clared that according to the lates
census reports factory workers In tn
United States were paid an averag
wage Of S519 for the year an increas
of not quite per cent in five year
and an increase OF 81 per cent in te
years, but the average cost OF Twin
had increased more than 40 per Ger
during the same time.
The speech OF Emil Seidel vic
presidential candidate was devote
: largely to showing the extraordinar
, power Of the capitalist system whic
he said, holds in its spell every MAJ

were on their toes last Saturday
morning when the Chronicle came
out stating that Campbell was
coming over to meet Oldteld in de
bate here that night. Campbell did
come in on the 1880 train and spent
the afternoon handshaking with the
boys here.
Oldfeld did not get in until
about 1880 at night, being delayed
by the bad roads.
The festivities started at 500
sharp and lasted until nearly ll:O0.
Olddeld opened with a defense Of
his own record and a sharp arraign-
ment of Campbells career in the
Arkansas legislature. Campbell
came back opening with defense
of his legislature record that brought
Oldfeld to his feet giving the lie to
Campbell. At cries of "sit down
Bill" Oldheld sat down and listened
to bitter attack upon his record in
the halls of congress. Oldfeld Of
fered no rebuttal. If the noise was

great deal Of studying.
Edward Hicks, one of the seniors
who has been absent for two weeks,
is back in school again.
The Lee literary met and elected
their officers last Friday afternoon.

LINING UP FOR
HON. S. BRUNDIDGE

Mr.. Brundidge is polished gen.
tleman, an eloquent and forceful
orator, one that has been a power
for good in the lower house of Con,
gress, and the people of the state
have in him an opportunity for a
representative in the upper house of
Congress that Will not only be a
benefit but an honor to the state.
His opponent has been IN the Senate
more than four years and with all
his bragadocio and self-exploitation
he cannot point to one dollars
worth of benefit he has been to his
state during those four years. He
has been permitted to make two or
three of his blood-an thunder
speeches In the Senate, all of which
have served to eliminate any infu-
ence for good he may ever have.
Public highways are receiving a
tremendous amount of attention all
over the country now, and it is
more than probable that the United
States government will take a hand
in assisting the great movement, and
it is expedlent for Arkansas that
her senators and congressman are
men that can and will see that Ark
ansas has her share of the benefits
The navigable rivers Of the state are
receiving great deal of govern.
mental attention of late, and Mr..
Davis has already virtually admit
ted that he does not want his state
to beg the Northern magnates for
assistance, which is equivalent to
admitting that he can do nothing
toward securing any help. Arkan-
sas pays her full share of govern
ment taxes, and it is due her to get
in return her share of governmental
benefits. During his terms in the
lower house of Congress, Mr.. Brun.
didge showed his ability to secure
for his district the full measure of
governmental appropriations, and
as senator he would be of equal
value to the whole state. In view
of all this, we firmly believe Carroll
county will roll mp good majority
in the coming primary election for
Mr.. Brundidge. -Berryville Star.
