First District probably has a greater

any other District in the United

sound judgment and common sense

This brief sketch of portion OF the
political life and qualifications OF MI.
Anthony differs from the usual poll

to the facts that voter should have
before he can intelligently select his
representative in any legislative Of
flee. 1t is the public life Of man
that counts with the people these days
when every citizen is taking an In

the public record that counts today
when our people are demanding that
their representatives really represent
them and not political boss or . pri-
vate interest. Mr. Anthony's indus

known to his friends and admitted by
his opponents. He is proud OF every
position he has taken on the public
questions which have come before
Congress during his service and 1t is

The purpose of this statement to
the men and women voters of the
First District is to set forth some
thing about the record of the present
Congressman from this District, SO
that the people may know of part OF
the things that he has stood for and
against, as their representative. In
recent sessions of Congress.
One of Mr.. Anthony's pronounced
characteristics is his frankness. There
Is no portion of his public record
that he would conceal; he himself de-
sires that 1t be an open book He has
never been known to dodge or equi-
vccate on any public question; he
has fixed opinions and is not afraid to
stand up for them in the open. This
statement will tell his constituents
fra ky some of the measures he sup
ported AID Just as frankly some OF
those he opposed.
One thing noticeable in Mr.. An.
thongs work at Washington and of
which he is proud is his record of
actual service to the people he rep

measures he has favored during his
service in the National House of Rep
resentatives.
Has Been Fair to Labor.

Has Been Fair to Labor.
Being large employer of labor he
understands the problem of the men
who work, and his votes have always
been cast in behalf of the American
wage-earner. Anthony voted In Con-
gress for the Employers Liability Act
and the Workmen's Compensation
Bill; for requiring materials to be
used in the construction of the Pan
ANA Canal to be purchased in the
United States: for limiting the hours
of service for men working on rail-
roads; for the various safety appli-
ance laws in relations to railroads;
for the government eight-hour laws;
for the laws creating the Bureau of
Mines, the Children's Bureau, the De-
partment of Labor; for the child labor
law for the District of Columbia; for
the eight-hOur law for women in the
District of Columbia, and others OF a
similar character. He has favored
and voted for legislation limiting the
power of the Federal courts to pun,
ish for contempt without trial by jury
unless the contempt was committed in
the presence of the court.
Always the Veteran Soldiers' Friend.
! Anthony has ever been an active
friend of the soldier. He voted for
all recent pension legislation having
for its object more liberal allowances
to the veteran soldiers and their wild
ows of the Civil and Spanish and In
dian wars: for the law increasing the
pension of widows: for the Indian vet
Grams pension Law. His interest in the
old soldiers and their widows and de-
pendents has not decreased as their
ranks have thinned. Mr.. Anthony's
vigorous efforts to improve the condi-
ton and the material welfare of the
members of the Soldiers Home have
already borne good fruit. He has al
ways favored every provision of law
giving the soldier a preference in gov
eminent employment and has protest
ed against it's violation

A Consistent Advocate Of Reform
Measures.

During his service in Congress Mr..
Anthony has uniformly voted for all
reform measures regulating trusts and
combines. He favored the law enlarg-
ing the powers Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, giving 1t among
other powers the right to ascer in
and fix reasonable rates, to suspend
increased rates until their reasonable
ness could be determined. etc, tho
right to divest railroads Of control or
ownership of competing rail or water
lines. He voted for the physical valu-
alton of railway. telephone and tele-
graph lines, and for many other acts
tending to control trusts and prevent
monopoly, including the act prohibit
ting corporations from making cam
paign contributions. He also ia
vored all the laws requiring publicity
of campaign contributions both be-
fore and after elections.

His Position In the House.

We are proud of the standing which
Mr.. Anthony has achieved at Washing
ton and believe that Speaker Champ
Clark told the truth when he once
said, Wisdom dictates that men who
have proved that they are of service
should be kept in Congress and the
value of their services increases in
exact proportion to the length of their
service" AS you know complaint has
been made of the undue influence ex-
ercised by members of Congress from
the eastern states both in the House
and in the Senate. The answer is
plain. The east keeps its members
continuously in the House and in tie
Senate and in this way they have very
naturally risen to positions of power
and influence in both bodies. This
power and influence will come to the
west If it viii but learn the lesson of
experience and keep it's active, ener-
getic members in Congress-
Mr.. Anthony has proven an able
and efficient representative Of our
people at Washington and we ask the
men and women of the First district,
regardless of party utilization, to re-
member him on November and to
make a cross opposite his name on
the ballot

Was Against Tolls Repeal.

Anthony voted against the bill which
provided for the repeal Of the law
giving American ships In the coast
wise trade the right to pass through
the Canal without a payment of tolls
He took the position that such a posi-
ton was a cowardly and un-American
surrender to Great Britain and to the
transcontinental railroads.

Public Health and Public Morals.

PUBIC Health ana PUBLIC Morale.
He has supported all amendments
offered during his term Of service COR
the Strengthening of the meat in
spection law and the pure food laws.
He voted for the white slave law pro-
hfbiting the transportation between
states of women for immoral purposes
and voted for the law prohibiting the
importation Of opium into this coun-
try for other than medicinal purposes.
He voted for what is known as the
Webb-Kenyon bill prohibiting the ship
ment in Interstate commerce of liquor
intended for sale in states which have
prohibitory laws. He voted for this
law because he believes that state
should be upheld by the federal gov
eminent in the exercise of its police
power.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-10-26

Mr.. Anthony has been a consistent
advocate of the benefits of a protec-
tive tariff. He is thoroughly con-
vinced that a free trade policy means
industrial ruin to this country and he
believes that the American working
men should be protected from the
cheaper competitive labor Of the rest
Of the world. He believes that this
nation cannot prosper If it gives its
work and its wages to foreign labor %
