phies Of the different members,

Kentuckians believe in honoring
their native sons. The two Sem
ators and eleven Representatives
from Kentucky all were born in
that State, a record held by hut
two other States in the entire
Union. Louisiana and Virginia
This would seem to illustrate
that Kentucks and Virginia are
very much alike in their charar
teristics. Indiana, which many
call daughter of Kentucky,
shows this prochvity toa pro-
nounced extent, as it's two SEN
ators and twelve of its Represent

congressman William Hughes has
won the U. S. Senatorial nomination
from James Smith, Jr., who never de.
served to have been senator. In fact it
is believed he bought it at so much per
head from the most political depraved
set of men who eVer sat in the legislao
tive halls of New Jersey, the rae
track gamblers tools, men who
were elected with the understanding
that they were to vote for Leon Albeit,
the heroic Governor who did more for
the Taxpayers of New Jersey than any
man who ever held office in this State.
MI. Smith represented the bipartisan
league of privileged interests in politics.
MI. Smith was good a Republican in
spirit as that party needed. This was
because he believed in and voted for
Republican party's financial and tariff
policies. Further proof is seen by most
of the Republican papers endorsing his
nomination, including the Salem Strnd-
ard and Jerseyman.
In return it is expected that the
Smith forces will now turn in and help
elect a Republican Legislature SO Sena-
tor Frank Briggs can be reelected a
representative of special privilege inter-
ests. 1t is up to the voters to decide at
the election of Assemblyman and Sena.

the paramount issue.

Car didates Exchange Boauets,

Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist candi-
date for President has been called a
''will-o-tbe-Wisp." MI. Debs charges
Mr. Roosevelt with being the leader of
a ''one-maD-party."
"Angered because defeated by the
Republican Party" said MI. Debs,
Roosevelt decided to have a party of
his own. So he called a convention at
Chicago, went to Chicago, nominated
himself by reclamation, accepted the
nomination and now is campaigning as
''the peoples Owl candidate
Notwithstanding eighteen of the
planks of the Progressive platform were
taken from the Socialist platform Soci-
alists have no faith in Roosevelt's sin
ceIity. A prominent magazine writer
says: "Our Owl belief is that Roosevelt
always Is sincere in his profession of the
moment" But what he will be in the
next moment is what makes him a
"will4of-the wisp" instead Of Debs, an;
causes sober minded men TO doubt his
stability, sincerity and sanity.

New Jersey Congressman Re-
ceives Remarkable Tribute
From FELLOW Members.

Jersey City, Sept. 19.-Hon. William
hughes of Passaic received a remark
able tribute from the men with whom
he served in the house Of representa-
tives in Washington when they met In
the office of Congressman James A.
Hamill In this city and formed them
selves into a campaign committee to
further his election to the United
States senate. Those present at the
meeting besides Mr. Hamill were Con-
gressmen Eugene b. Kinkead, W. E..
Tuttle and Thomas ]. Scully. The last
named was made chairman of the
committee.
One Of the reasons for the confidence
which his fealow congressman have in
Mr.. Hughes Is the prominent part he
took in the work Of reorganizing the
house Of representatives by the adop-
ton Of rules which break the power Of
the speaker and restore to the mem
bers Of the house the power to appoint
their own committees.
Under the old rules the speaker was
paramount, not only presiding over the
house, but naming all committees.

Students of American constitutional
government have pointed out that to
promote members of the house of rep
resentatives to the senate would do
much to correct the imperfections of

are noted by all observers and which
are responsible for the extent to which
monopolistic and corporate interests
have controlled the federal government

Dresden Exposition Awards rledaI to
The Prudential

President Forrest F.. Dryden has Just
been notified that The Prudential In-
snrance Company was awarded a com
memorative medal for an exhibit in
connection with the International Ex-
position of Hygiene Dresden, 1911.
This exhibit consisted of a set of
graphic charts showing the death rates
IN various manufacturing industries
and the increasing need of safety ap.
pliances for the prevention of acct
dents
These charts were prepared from
special study by The Prudential on
matters affecting the business of life
insurance in such industries as coal
mining, steel making, spinning and
weaving industries, railways, stone
and marble workers and various other
trades. Charts were also supplied
showing statistics of deaths from var
lous causes in the larger American
cites during the last 80 years.
These charts are of vital interest
to employers, working men and wo-
men, and students OF the safety, health
and welfare Of industrial workers as
pointing out the trades and occupa-
tions where there is the greatest need
for protection against accident or un-
healthy conditions. Ii interests Amer
leans to know that The Prudential ex-
hlblt has been transferred to the Ber-
lin Museum of Safety and is the first nom
German exhibit to form a part of their
permanent collection of safety devices and
information bearing on the betterment of
industrial conditions.
