Frear Shows Up
interests Back of
The Pork Barrel

Pawnee City, Neb., Sept. 2S.-(Spe-
ciaf Telegram. )-Congressman James
A. Frear of Wisconsin spoke to a
good audience at the court house last
night in the interest, of the national
republican ticket and the candidacy
of c. F. Reavis for reelection to con-
gress from the First district of Ne
braska. Congressman Frear was given
close attention by his audience and
produced conclusive and unimpeach-
able evidence of gross extravaganza
on the part of the democratic admin
istration. He went further and
showed up the Interests which are
back of the pork barrel legislative
appropriations. None OF his hearers
could doubt that the south is in the
saddle and when he concluded his re-
marks the pork barrel was full of
holes and the Alabama Water Power
company was limping badly. Con-
gresham Frear made strong appeal
for the voters to give their support
to Charles E. Hughes for president
and made clear the necessity of elect
ing republican senator and congress
man to support him in his efforts to
put the United States back on a
business basis. All together he made
one of the strongest addresses which
has been heard here during the cam
paign and it will have a marked in
fluence on the vote which Pawnee
county will give the republican can
didates in November.
