Washington , D. C. From now
on the campaign of misrepresent
ation inaugurated by the demo
cratic party is going to be met
with a campaign of refutation
by the republican party , and fi r
the next six months the people
on the one hand will be asked to
believe the questionable statements -
' ments of the democratic party or
1 to investigate the facts and
figures as presented by the re-
i , t publican party. We have had
'
' such campaigns before , and al
* 4 , ' ; though misrepresentation has
F " resulted in success , yet for the
. * I most part the truth has brought
| and should brirg victory
republican congressional
committee has been fully awake
.to the situation for some time ,
and has been quietlv doing all
that it possibly could to offset
u \ the wave of misrepresentation
which has been passing over the
country largely through the dis
gruntled and muckraking maga
zines and some daily papers ,
which are still sore over the fact
that the tariff was not made on
their special account. But here
after republican , speeches in con
gress and speeches made by noted
republicans throughout the coun
try and the regular republican
' < U ' papers will tell the people the
1 facts about the tariff law ; about
the pending legislation ; about
the work of the administration
and about the record of the re
publican party in general andin (
particular and leave the people
to decide whether they wish to
keep in power a party that does
things or a party that simply
f promises without even the ability
or the opportunity to carry out
its pledges.
Some very noted speeches have
I I been made recently which the
people should have the opportun-
tunity of reading , and so lar as
it is within the resources of the
republican committee they will
have this opportunity. One such
speech is that recently delivered
by lion. Nicholas Longworth.
son-in-law of ex-President Roosevelt
velt , before the republican state
league clubs of the District of
Columbia. This speech has now
been put in pamphlet form by
the congressional committee , and
a million will at once be circu
lated.
Another notable speech is that
of Representative Bou'ell , of Illi
nois , made in the house of repre
sentatives on April 15. It is
simply a compilation of the rec
ord of the republican party since
1897 , including every treaty made
by this government with foreign
nations , the various official proc
lamations and all the important
public laws enacted by congress
since March 4 , 1897. To many
this would be very dry reading
and yet every loyal republican
should have a copy at hand to
show to his democratic neighbor
when the question comes up as
to what has been done for the
people of this country during the
past doaen years ,
The speeches that have been
made by Duncan E , McKinlay
throughout the west and in the
south , and even in New England ,
have captured the whole country ,
and if Mr. McKinlay could spare
the time his services would be in ,
demand twice a day irom now
until the 8th of November , His
success has been due to but one
fact , and that is that he has told
the people simply and plainly ,
but very forcibly , the truth about
the tariff and the present admin
istration , He takes the growl
that the tariff law is no longer
under discussion , but that the
< peration of the new tariff law is
a subject for discussion. And
when he tells the people of its' ' re
sults , of the great increase-
