SAMPSON THE
PEOPLES CHOICE
Spoke In the Interest of
His Candidacy to Large
and Enthusiastic Crowd
at London Monday.
Special to The Advocate:

Speclal 10 Inc Advocate:
London, May %, 1916. Judge
Sampson spoke in the interest of
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Appellate Judge
and was enthusiastically greeted
by a large number of voters, as
sembled in the court house. 1t
was the opening day of the Lau-
rel Circuit Court and an unusually
large crowd was in town. The
Judge found the same condition
prevailing in Laurel county as
exists in so many other counties
visited; that is, that the farmers
and laboring men are for him,
and want him to be their Judge.
They will give Sampson a ousing
big vote in Laurel. At this
stage of the campaign, it looks
like Sampson will carry in addi-
ton to the counties in his own
Circuit Court District. also all
the counties of the 26th and 9th
Judicial Districts, and will get a
good vote over any candidate all
over the western end of the APP
pellate District. He will get
votes in other parts, and sufficient
to insure his nomination by good
safe plurality. Judge Sampson
is the peoples choice. Every
where he is being supported by
the good, honest laboring man.
He has always been their friend
and stood for their rights. The
people can trust him.
On Sunday Judge Sampson,
and his friend, Judge William
Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, j. M. Robsi-
on, j. L. Harrison and many
others went out from London to
the Baptist Association at Bush,
some twelve miles from London.
There were, it is said, more than
fifteen hundred people there.
Judge Sampson was called for
and delivered an address on that
occasion. Judge Lewis also made
a short talk. At all places visit
ed the people were enthusiastic
for Sampson.

1t looks innocent. 1t appears
harmless. Its purpose seems to
be studiously concealed in the
language used. Let me reveal
its meaning through the gentle
man from Wisconsin Mr.. Stec-
nerson, the ranking Republican
member on the Post Office and
Post Roads Committee. He said
concerning it:
1T amounts to this, that the
Postmaster General can abolish
some fifty-odd thousand post
offices and annex them as sub
stations to the principal offices
that he may select. 1t is propos-
ed by some to make the country
a postal division under this bill
and the First Assistant Post
master General stated in the hear
ings that he would have authori-
ty under the law to establish one
post office in each county of the
United States and have all the
other Offices as substations.
Now. there are 533 first.class
offices, 2,lS9 second-class Offices,
5,278 third class Offices, and &c.
$50 fourth-class offices in the U.
S. lfthat plan as proposed should
go though. it would be possible,
and it is evidently the intention
of the department to make one
post Office in each county. There
are 5000 counties in the United
States. You would therefore
abolish something like 55, 900
or So, 600 post offices and make
them substations. II would Gre
ate that many vacancies to be
filled whether they appointed the
the old postmasters as superin-
tendents of substations or select

This complete overthrow of the
merit system, the turning out of
Office trained and experienced
Republicans. and putting in their
places unframed and inexperienc,
ed Democrats, has given US the
poorest mail service within the
recollection of this generation.
Business men have bitterly
complained at the confusion and
delay in the transmission and de-
livery of the mails, but the rural
districts have suffered most in
the shortning and abolishing of
routes for the sake of economy in
the Post Office Department. And
while it would appear that the
Democratic politicians ought to
be satisfied with the number of
republican postmasters they have
turned out of Office and the num-
Der of democrats they have put
in, still their thirst seems insa-
table, only last year they tried
to put all the assistant postmas-
tiers of the country. in the larger

trying a method. They are re.
sorting to a most revolutionary
and far reaching plan to make q
political machine out of the en-
tire post Office force and system,
There passed the United States
Senate on March Is, 1916, bill
styled a Postal Savings" bill
containing this provision:

POWERS SCORES
THE DEMOCRATS
Extracts From Speech
Made by Him on the
Floor of the House of
Representatives, M ay
IL, 1916.

The very first law (The Under
wood Tariff Act that was pass.
ed after the Wilson administra-
ton came in power, exempted
from the Civil Service Regula-
tons more than six hundred
agents, deputy collectors, inspec-
tors and other income tax en-
ployees to be employed in the
collection of the new Internal
Revenue taxes.
In the very first general Def
cheney bill put upon the Statute
books by the Wilson administra-
ton. There was a provision au-
thorizing appointments, and re-
movals, without reference to the
Civil Service Act 1145 Deputy
Collectors of Internal Revenue
and 176 Deputy u. s. Marshalls.
When the Federal Revenue
Banking Law was enacted the
Democrats over the earnest pro-
test of the Republican members
of Congress, inserted a provis-
ion in it exempting from the clas-
sified competitive test. all appoin-
tees Of the Board.
BY an act of Dee. II 1914, (38
Stat. 1897 over the protest of Re-
publican Members of congress,
there were exempted from COM
petive test 200 employees in the
Internal Revenue Service to en-
force the provision of the act re-
gulating the distributing and sale
of narcotics.
BY the act of Dec. 26, 1914, the
Democrats again ignored their
platform pledge and exempted
from the Civil Service laws. the
secretaries, clerks. attorneys,
special experts and examiners in
the Federal Trade Commission.
By an act of July 16. 1914, the
Democrats again forgot all about
their sacred promises to the Amer
lean people to uphold the Civil
Service laws, when they exempt
ed from competitive test the COM
mercial attaches in the Depart
ment of Commerce.
The Democratic Party by the
act of Jan. %. 1915, again re-
minded the American people that
it had no regard for its platform
pledges when it included in the

postmasters who receive but a
small pittance for their services,
and put those little Offices and
substatiOns in charge of clerks at
81, 200 a year, which is the way
it is proposed to furnish efficient
men such as they have not got in
the local communities, it would
increase the expense of the Pos
tai Service. If you pass this law
you could make vacancies for
56, 600 men, to be filled in this
case by worthy Democrats, and
then put them into the civil SER
vice forever. AS to the eficien-
cy. who can tell?
| do not believe this bill will
become a law at this session of
Congress. There are men in this
House, Democrats though they
are, who will not stand for this
legislation.
In my judgment the Democra-
tic majority in this House is too
small to pass this bill at this time
but with a larger Democratic ma
jority, in all probability, it would
go through. But that majority
will not be larger for years to
come. The people will have their
say about that in November.
When they have spoken again
there will be returned to this
House an old time republican
majority.
The Democratic Party has been
weighed in the balance, found
wanting. 1t has failed to keep
the faith.
The Democratic leaders have
broken their Baltimore platform
pledges on the immigration ques-
ton, and the labor question.
They reversed themselves COM
pletely on the Panama Canal tolls
plank. Their broken pledges of
economy is known of all men and
denied by nobody. The high cost
of living has scared still higher
since their advent into power, al
though they pledged themselves
to reduce it at once. The only
reason they can give for it is that
ithas gone higher because it has
not come lower. They promised
they would put a tariff law on
the Statute books of our country
that would not injure legitimate
industry.
And yet but for the European
war, the darkest and grimest pa
mic this country has ever seen
would now be upon us. They
said that the laboring classes, a
long with the great masses of our
citizenship were staggering I'M
der the weight and burden of
robber protective tariff laws.
They promised relief in Free
Trade. They promised the labor

vice.
BY the acts of March a, 1918,
Aug. /, 1915, and other acts, the
Democrats have shown their ut
ter disregard for Civil Service
laws. and their platform pledges
to uphold them.
Following the unhappy advent
of the Wilson Administration,
with bugle blasts, it manifested
its purpose to put the 45. 200
fourth class postoffices in this
country into the classified service.
or rather the people to fill them.
Where the salary of the Office
per annum ranged between $3.50
and $500, a competitive examine
ton was required for appoint
ment. The three making the
highest on the examination were
eligible to appointment. Since
the Democratic pie distributors
had the right to recomend any
democrat in the list of elegibles
and since he was sure to be ap-
pointed and since this, by expert
ence became to be an accepted
fact among republicans. natural
ly they did not trouble themselves
to take the examinations, know
ing that it would profit them moth
ing. In this way and by this
clever rush the Democratic poll
ticians found a way to put deserv-
ing Democrats into most of the
postoffices of this whole country
where the salary ranged from
$3.50 to $500 annually. They did
it, too, under the guise of extend
ing the Civil Service. The post
masters in all the 4th class post
offices in the whole country,
where the salary of the Office is,
less than $3.50 annually they now
have appointed upon the recon-
mendation of postofiice inspectors
sent to the locality for that pur-
pose.
Post Office Inspectors under a
Democratic Administration ma
turally recommend, when they
can, democrats to hold Offices. |
No doubt they have been taught
to believe that it stands them in
hand to do this. since every post
Office inspector appointed by this
administration has been a Demo-
crat. Not a single Republican
have they appointed. BY these
methods substantially the whole
postoffice force of the country is
now Democratic. know that
