THE RAILROAD BILL.
4 * K X * X 4 ** X 4 4

|
An incident in the political cam
paign at Charles City shows how hope
less is the stock Democratic argument
| by and through which the Democratic
party hopes to regain the United States
senate.
Hon. Ben J. Gibson. Republican can
didate for attorney general, was billed
to speak and on his arrival found that
the Democrats had Claude Porter also
billed for a speech. 1t was agreed that
both should speak to the same audi
ence. Porter spoke first and, of course,
devoted himself entirely to lambasting
the Cummins- Esch bill and holding up
the senior Iowa senator as a very bad
man because he had hand in making
it. When the time came for Gibson to
speak he said in substances:
This bill has been described by Mr..
Porter as very bad bill. He has de-
nounccd it from many angles. He says
it ought never to have become law.
He says Cummins ought to be defeat
ed because the bill bears his name. But
let us see. You all know this bill pass
cd both houses of congress. You also
know that before it could become law
it went to the White House for scrutiny
and disposition You know that if it
was such bad bill as has been adver-
tised. President Wilson would have
needed only to write across the bottom
'Disapproved.' That would have ended
the bill. But did he do that? No. He
took his pen and marked the bill, APP
proved. Woodrow Wilson, That sigma
ture made the bill Il law Claude Porter
was in Washington holding down an
office and if what he says is true about
this bill. he ought to have told the man
who appointed him to office. His criti-
cism is against the president as much
as against anyone"
A similar incident to the one reported
in Charles City is reported at one other
of the Porter meetings. He was adj
dcssins some farmers. He said there
was six hundred million dollars of cold
graft in the law for the railroads.
whats that you say?" asked IA
farmer in the audience.
There is 5000. 100000 of graft for the
railroads in this law" repeated Porter.
IF that's sO.' said the farmer, what
have you got to say for your man Will
son who signed the bill!'
And Porter didn't have Il word to-
say. 1t is evident from what is happen
ing ut many places, that the farmers,
at least. are getting on to the fraud and
sham in the attack on the railroad bill
and have little patience with dcma-
gogucs who are talking about the new
law.

The jury in the case of the Rcinickcr
estate against Il. II. GiSh, of Blairs-
burg. returned verdict Saturday morn
ing at o'clock, giving judgment against
Gish in the sum Of $3,2S2.49. The exact

The case reached the jury Friday
evening about t 80 o'clock. following
ten days of trial. 1t was the hardest
fought case of the term and consumed
the longest time in trial-ten days. 1t
involved notes given by b. II. Gish to

disputed but certain payments on them

credited and certain counter claims
were made.
