ShalJenberger Greeted By
Two Large Audiences.
Last Saturday A. C. Shallen
berger spoke in our city , after
noon and evening , to large and
enthusiastic audiences. The farm
ers came in to hear him at the af
ternoon meeting and were with
him in sentiment , applauding
vociferously during the'speech.
Mr. Shallenberger told his aud
ience about the platform that he
ran on two years ago and.that it
was largely due to his campaign
that the legislature passed the two-
cent passenger rate and which
Gov. Sheldon opposed to the very
last. Sheldon wanted to leave
passenger rates to the railway
commission and it was at the very
last that he signed the bill , which
would have become a law without
his , signature , and the railroad
companies agreed to accept the
rate before Sheldon signed the bill.
( The railway commission has dilly
dallied along with freight rates
and left them practically the same
as before , but it is dill'urent with
the passenger rates )
Judge Yv'estover was with Mr.
Shallenberger and made a brief
speech outlining his position as
candidate for congress The ap
plause at the close of his remarks
showed plainly that the people be
lieves Judge Westover to be the
proper candidate for congress.
Much different were the remarks
made about Mr. Shallenberger's
speech from those commenting on
Mr. Burkett's speech of the even
ing before. The one , bitter with
ridicule and no argument for his
party's platform , while the other
staled his platform and gave facts
to support his claims. Eve.ry re
publican stated that Mr. Shallen
berger's speech was splendid and
two in particular said it was the
finest they had ever heard.
"Slippery Elmer. "
Elmer Burkett , or "Slippery
Klmer" as ho is oftentimes called ,
> poke in our city Friday night.
There was not a large crowd but a
iair sized audience t ; ) hear him.
lLe ? applause did n. > : indicate very
much enthusiasm and the audience
apparently did not appreciate his
denunciation of Bryan , He tried
to ridicule Bryan , saying that he
had not read the U. S. statutes
for ten years and ihat he didn't
have a copy of them. Perhaps
not. Has "Slippery Elmer" read
them ? Or has he a complete copy ?
Who has read some of the old
laws recently ? Or , why would a
'Jia.il read them every every morn
ing like a pra.er book or bible ?
True , that , iht-trusts probably read
over their favorite schedule of
rates protecting their business ev
ery morning , and have a copy
bound in morocco on the parlor
table.
The charge that Mr. Bryan
wrote the Denver platform and
that he asked for a reduction of
tarid on logs was like grabbing at
a straw for a drowning man.
\Vh.y didirt Elmer tell us that the
platform was made by the Denver
convention and that the plank re
ferred to. says : ; ' \Ve demand the
immediate repeal of the tariii'on
wood pulp , print paper , LUM
BER , timber and logs , and these
articles be placed on the free list. "
\Vhy dfcln'c "Slippery Elmer"
tell us that iie was opposed to all
these and that his party wanted to
continue this tariii' . Who could
afford to ship in logs ? It's lumber
we need and if there is no tariff on
logs , should we be content with a
tariff on lumber and all other pro
ducts of wood ?

At the earnest solicitation of his

This is not a matter of' his own

elected. .But , the same as a host

nizes Mr. Tucker's unfitness for
the position on account of his well
known reputation for immorality ,
incompetency and. dishonesty.
During his incumbency of the of
