CAP Stewart, Democratic
Candidate for Congress,
Defends Constitution.
TALKS AT BURLINGTON
Stewart at Burlington Says
Voters Have No Republicans
to Vote For on State Ticket.

Clearly stating his stand as solidly
supporting the Constitution of the
United States and declaring that this
was the paramount issue in the cam
paign, Attorney Calvin Stewart, Demo
cratic candidate for congressman from
this district, opposing Congressman
Henry Allen Cooper in this race, con-
tinued his campaign Saturday evening
with an address before several hundred
voters at Burlington. Mr.. Stewart
minced no words in denounclng the
LaFollette- Wheeler stand on the Su-
preme Court and Constitution issue.
He appealed to voters to cast their
ballots for candidates who are mot
irving to get votes under false pre-
lenses" adding that "there is not a
Republican to vote for on that state
ticket" He was enthusiastically
cheered many times throughout the
fiery philippe.
Stands for Constitution.
Mr.. Stewart gave most of his ad-
dress to the Constitution and Supreme
Court issue maintaining that those
who support the LaFollette-W Wheeler
ticket or who are aligned with it on
some other ticket are endangering the
liberties of the people in the event
that they are successful in forcing
their stand on this issue.
After reviewing some of the pr1n-
cipals established in the Constitution,
he declared:
"To me these principles are as dear
as life itself, and / shall defend them
to the uttermost.
abolition of these principles I call
insane and destructive legislation.
stand for the Constitution for sane
and constructive legislation.
"This is the paramount issue In
Wisconsin.
"Our forefathers we'll knew the evils
of tyranny, of despotic bigotry, that
destroyed human liberty"
Raps LaFollette Hard.
The speaker raped Senator LaFol-
lette and Congressman Cooper hard.
He said in part regarding them as
follows:
"Not content with tearing the rail-
roads to pieces, destroying industries
and driving capital out of Wisconsin,
he (La Follette) seeks larger field for
his policies of destruction and social
istic dreams-goes to the grave of our
lamented deceased Roosevelt and there
takes, carries away, and appropriates
to his own. use the word Progressive"
He places it on his banner and at the
head of motley mess of Communists,
Socialists, 7. w. WIS and Bolshevists,
marches forth to engage again in bat
tie with legitimate industry, hoping
to para1yze the same, that he may
gain political success.
"Still in the meantime, trying to
convince the farmer and the laborer
that the runination of industry will
fill their pockets with gold and their
hearts with peace, happiness and con-
tentment.
But our little hero hardly expects TO
his exaggerated ego, unless he can
throw the election in the House of
Representatives.
"Then with his little band of law
makers from Wisconsin, piloted by the
great congressman from this district,
who at the Cleveland convention
stuck long sharp knife into one back
of the great party that had nurtured,
cared for, and protected him for such
long and happy time"
LaFoIlette's Election a Calamity.
Should our little crusader be elect
ed President of the United States, as
he hopes to be, by throwing the cleo
tion into the House Of Representatives,
you would have an example such as
you have never before seen, of a gov
- i,AI,
confidence whatever, and the signifc-
ance of this can better be imagined
than described.
81 can see bread lines and soup
houses, strikes, walk-outs, closed shops
and chaos, pale, hungry and discour-
aged fathers, sickly emaciated chill
dren, pitiful enemic mothers, bending
with sleepless patience over cradles
where starving infants are begging for
something to eat. oh! / pray you, my
fellow citizens, get the progressive
germ out of your system, for it's
only meaning at this time, is ruination
and destruction"
Stewart for Constitution.
ST repeat, stand for the Constitu-
tion Of the United States, which has
made this greatest and most prosper
Gus nation in all the word And while
our Governor can ruin Wisconsin, our
Congressman can ruinesthe nation. If
you want constructive legislation in
the event that either Mr.. Davis or Mr..
Coolidge is elected, certainly those
gentlemen do not care for any of the
Wisconsin brand of congressman to
assist them.
"The platform of the so-called Pro-
gressive party, which all of the Wis
consin congressman have subscribed I
to, would destroy our Constitution by I
abolishing one of its fundamental |
branches. Is there any question Of |
where they stand; you know they must |
do the bidding of their chief"

"These, whom l show you on this |
picture claim to be the dependable |
Progressives. On another picture, we |
see our little crusader with our pres I
ent Governor, and our great Congress /
men from the first district as his right /
and left hand bowes; who don't even |
claim to be dependable.
$50 it is up to you my fellow citi- |
zens, to take your pick. You have de-
pendable Progressives and ordinary |
Progressives, all standing on Social |
istic platform, and you have plain |
