H J4 1 ls 1 i Coming to McCook TWENTY FIRST YEAR NOllRlS SHALLENBERGER DEBATE The Opera House Was Crowded to Hear the Present and Next Congress man on the Issues Judge Norris the Republican notninco for congressman and the present con gressman A 0 Shallenberger held their liiml joint debate of the campaign in the Menard opera house of our city last Saturday afternoon in the presence of a crowded bousecomposed of farmers laboring men business men profession al men and a fair sprinkling of ladies The followers of both men were out in numbers and both debaters were strongly supported and roundly cheered on occa sions offering It is not easy to compare the men they are so unlike in style Judge Nor ris has the judicial mind and manner nnd more calmly presents and argues his points without attempting to use the arts of the orator With Congressman Shallenberger the case is vastly different He has the agility of the typical orator- icaljj jnast and a torrenlial facility of j speg js Indeed it in not easy to follow hs C iara of words lie has the poli ticilik skill of indirection and is not easy to nul down to a hard-and-fast proposition Ho plays to the gallery Congressman Shallenberger opened the ball by roasting the railroads for being in politics the coal barons the trusts and the tariff He would take the railroads out of politics by government ownership and kill the trusts with his bill lie claimed and we give him credit for voting for one Republican measure reciprocity In his closing peroration which smacked noticeably of the studied set honeyed phrase he threw bouquets to the people with the politi cians prodigality Judge Norris followed congratulating the congressman upon doing a few wise and useful things that is voting for some Republican measures and directed the attention of the audience to the fact that it would be much more advantages to the district to send him Norris to congress for the reason that he would be found all the time voting with the Re publican party and President Roosevelt Judge Norris promptly took all of the wind out of the congressmans sails on the Fowler currency oiilby placing him self on record as against the measureand offered to resign if elected congressman and the Republicans carried the measure through congress provided Shallenber ger if elected would resign if the measure failed to become a law Shallenberger did not accept the challenge although one of the hottest assaults made by Shal lenberger was on this strawman the Fowler bill which has no more show of becoming a law in its present form than ix snowball has for its existence in hades The judge favored reciprocity the oleo bill protection of the American laborer and market and stood with President Roosevelt on the trust question charg ing the Democratic obstructionists with being primarily responsible for the exist once of the trusts If one were to attempt to sum up the j whole matter it wouid be something like this Shallenberger had the theories and Norris the facts Shallenberger had the imagination and Norris the condi tion It was developed in the debate that Shallenberger and his party are associated with real disaster and distress in our national commercial affairs and that notwithstanding the prophesies of the Democrats to the contrary the party that Norris represents is administering affairs of the nation under Republican policies in an era of absolutely unex amplod and uuequalled prosperity The Republican position in governmen tal affairs was shown to be impregnable and the points of fact were cleariy with the judge And wo say all this without derogation of Shallenbergers accom plishments as a medicine mixer of the iirst class in the Democratic ranks Dr C M Headrick ear nose and throat specialist and
