Another Open Letter To OIdfeId From
Tom Campbell

Second Congressional District OF
Arkansas who favored the gambling
clause in that bill. The people of
this district are the ones who elect
ed you, MIR Oldfeld, and it is to
them that you must answer for
your actions. You know that this
bill does not protect the cotton
grower of the South. If so, please
explain why a committee Of Con-
gressmen is now busy investigating
a scheme that these LICENSED
GAMBLERS HAVE ON FOOT TO
RUN DOWN THE PRICE OF COT
TON FOR NEXT YEAR. ALSO
PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU DO
NOT HAPPEN TO BE A MEMBER
OF THAT COMMITTEE. l charge
in my open challenge to you that
you were in cahoots with these
cotton gamblers. You do not deny
it in your letter to the people. |
take it then that you admit that it
is true. The main reason that your
services are so much needed in
Congress right now" is that you
cannot face the people when am
proving so clearly that your record
proves you unfit to longer represent
the people of this district.
You boast of the fact that you
are a member of the Ways and
Means Committee when you know
and the people know that it was
through no merits of your own that
you were given this appointment
The people know that the positions
on the committees in Congress are
handed about by system of rota-
ton. 1t happened to be time for an
Arkansas man to be appointed on
that committee. You happened to
hold the lucky number and your
name was placed on that commit
tee. YOUR VAIN DISPLAY OF
YOUR NAMES BEING ON THAT
COMMITTEE is DIS & USTIN G
MOCKERY when the people consid-
er that you have done nothing for
their benefit during the FOUR
TERMS you have been in Congress
and that you have broken the trust
imposed in you by joining bunch
of New York Cotton Gamblers.
| am sincere in my efforts to
show the people what you have
been doing. l am using no unfair
means. | made sure that the things
| charge you with were true and
then | produced the proof to the
people. You say in your letter
that my charges are not true But
where is your proof9 The blacklist
criminal of the land when he is
brought before t h e court pleads
Not Guilty" But it takes proof to
clear him. The people demand
proof, They know that your excuse
of having to stay in Congress is an
excuse that was worn out before
you were born, You know that the
campaigns for all Offices are now
on. You know that this is the
time when every campaign for Con-
eress is made. repeat that you
are refusing to meet me because
you know that you cannot defend
your record.
Very truly,
Tom W. Campbell.

Mr.. W. A. Oldfeld,
Washington, D. C.

w oolllISlOll, ~. W
Dear Sir:-I have just read your
letter to some of the papers in
which you make quibbliug plea of
Not Guilty" to some of the charges
| am making against your record.
You complain that you did not see
the challenge and had it not been
for a friends supplying you with a
copy you might not have known
about it. This challenge. Mr.. Old
field, was published in THIRTY
TWO papers and in every county in
this district. | thought that surely
the peoples representative in Wash
ington was trying enough to keep in
touch with the people that he would
take and read his home papers.
Your own letter is a stronger indict-
ment on my charge that you are
not keeping in touch with the people
than | could possibly have made.
| wanted you to see this challenge,
and | want you to know right now
that | am PROVING every charge
that | have made against your
record.
| said in my challenge on Janu-
ary 31st, that you are not earning
the money that it is costing the
people to keep you in Congress. And
| repeat it. 1t is true that the law
fixes the salary of Congressman
This the people cannot help, but
they can and will see to it that a
man shall fill the position who
earns every cent that is paid to him
| charged that YOU HAVE NOT
PASSED A SINGLE BILL SINCE
you HAVE BEEN IN CONGRESS-
| repeat this charge. | call upon
you to name a single law that you
have caused to be enacted. You
cannot do it! Here are the words
you use in trying to answer this
charge: The charge that no bill in,
troduced by me has ever been en-
acted into law, to put it mildly, is q
reckless statement and known by
him to be untrue" And then you
drop that subject AS THOUGH II
WERE SOMETHING HOT. Why
didn't you point out something that
you have done. All, Mr.. Old6eld
you can't do it. You know that
you can't answer these charges and
this is the reason that your services
are so much needed right now in
Congress.
You make yourself ridiculous
when you try to compare yourself
to such men as Speaker Clark and
Hon. Claude Kitchin of North Caro-
lima. They are men who have done
thinesl They had been recognized
as men Of ability before they had
served their second terms. For you
who are asking for a FIFTH TERM
with NOTHING TO SHOW FOR
YOURSELF to compare yourself to
such men is the most violent COM
parison imaginable.
You next try to explain your ac-
ton in voting for the. bill that Ii
CENSED THE GAMBLING OF THE
NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE,
You admit that you voted for the
bill and try to make people think
the farmers favored that bill. | call

further exportation to European or other coun- tries Of course it is better late than never, but the fact is that the step should have been taken year or more ago. Not only on wheat and flour but on everything.
 Most of us favor granting the right to the manufacturers and producers to make reason able profit on their products but most of us also object to being robbed. A governments aim should be to protect both the producer and con- sumer, but when the producer makes hog of himself, he thereby creates hardship for the con- sumer It is then that the government should step in and protect the consumer, just the same as it protects the producer from foreign compe- tition. In that respect at least the administra- tion has shown lack of judgment. It has allowed the producer to rob the consumer. No wonder the 1akers want something done.

WE WONDER WHAT THEY MEAN.

Most of us reformers believe we know what we want For instance we want to abolish the sa- loon and the drug store. We want clean politics and equal suffrage. We want preachers who are not too strict and we want to be society leaders. We want this, that and other reforms We be- long to one class who know what we want. Un- fortunately there is another class; composed of renegades maybe, nevertheless they claim to know not only what we want but also what we need, and they say we need gas, ether or chloro- form followed by an operation. We wonder if they mean that we need fixing.

THE OLD SAYING APPLIES.

The good old saying that "when you are right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are wrong you can't afford to lose it" ap- plies to every one of us these days. As election approaches in which we are all interested in the result and bearing in mind that the difference in our respective interest is only in degree; 1t would be we'll for all to talk over the various points that are to be brought for decision. We could with advantage talk the various subjects and in the event we find difference of opinion, we need not lose our temper and with little dis cussion we may arrive at different conclusion. provided our mind is opened to conviction.
 If you have good cause for plea like the "drys" for instance; the supporters of which cause are undoubtedly sincere and wish but good to this wicked old world of ours; or the election of certain man to an office; or the eight-hour law or anything else, discussion of the points involved and their attendent results can only be educative One can always learn. But by all means let us not lose our temper. In other words, give and take without trying to tear one another for having an opinion of our own.

SERVICE NOW
EXTENDED By
THE COMPANY
Usefulness Of TeIegraphic
Money Transfer Service In
creased by Regulations.

During the last few years the West
crn Union Telegraph Company has
been In the van Of public service cor
porations in putting out new services
TO meet modern business and social
demands. The company now an
nounccs another Innovation for the
benefit OF its patrons.
Tho Western Union company an
nually transfers by telegraph an enor-
nous amount of money and heretofore
the senders of money have not been
permitted to include in the transfers
any communication of business or
personal character to the payee, such
information being required to be sent
by separate message. Under the new
arrangements, however. transfers be-
tween points in the United States
may include such Information and the
same will be delivered to the payee
at the time the transfer is paid. This
surely represents an up-to-datc SER
vice and one that should appeal to
and be Of much value to business
houses and the public generally.
Through it, people will be- enabled to
transmit money quickly with proper
instructions to meet banking obliga-
tions, pay insurance policies. glaran-
tee purchases, accompany bids, puf-
chase railroad, steamship and theater
tickets, pay taxes, assessments and
bills Of all descriptions, make remit
tances to travelling statesmen and
pupils attending distant schools, etc.
There is practically no limit to the
purposes for which this service is
available.
The telegraph company is TO be
commended upon the matter in
which it is broadening the scope and
purposes of its various services in
order to meet better the needs OF
the public.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.
Cavalrymen Kill AZ Bandits-Another
Raid Across Border-Large Rein
forcements Called Out

Several important developments have
marked the Mexican situation during
the week, although no definite decision
has arisen from the conferences be-
tween Gems. Scott and Funston for the
United States and Gen. Obregon for
the de facto government at Eel Paso.
News was received at Columbus, New
Mexico, Saturday that the 18th infan-
try surprised and routed a force of Nlt
la bandits near Cusihuirachic. Forty
two Mexicans were killed and mum
Der wounded. There were no American
casualties. A band of about 20 bandits
rushed across the border Friday and
raided the American settlement at Glen
Springs, New Mexico. They killed
three infantrymen and nine-year-olC
boy. There were only nine cavalrymen
on guard at this point, but they put VI
vigorous fight until reinforcemenl'
arrived. Another small eXpeditionary
force has crossed the Rio Grande il
search of the bandits who were at Gler
Springs.
The President on Tuesday called Out
the National Guard of New Mexico
Arizona and Texas, about 5000 men
for border patrol duty. Two regiments
of infantry and several companies o.
coast and field artillery are also being
hurried to Columbus and other points
making total reinforcements of 5000
