Booeevelt end Hoch in tbli campaign.
The letter It:
Abilinf,, Kas., Sept. 80 In reply
to your kind end cordial Invitation to
participate Qin your ipeaking cam
paign, although I am quite buay it
present I thall be very glad to do
what I can to contribute to the sue
esi of Rooievelt and Hoch, and do
hereby acoept your invitation.
President Koosevelt haa taken 10
Arm a atand against grafters and
boodleri that he deserves to be re
elected, that other publio officials
may be encouraged to go and do like
wise. He has made common honesty
' en issue of the oampalgn. His par
ticipation in the settlement of the
anthracite coal strike was, I think,
the first occasion of importance in
which a great offloial has taken so
definite a stand as the friend of the
laboring manand of that vast num
ber who are hardly registered with
either organized labor or organized
capital. Perhaps no greater compli
ment can be paid him than to call at
tention to the difference between his
attitude toward the strikes that have
' ocourred within tjie last few months
and that of Grover Cleveland under
omewhat similar oircumstanoes.
President Roosevelt's treatment of
the old aoldier who has reached ad
vanced years. was such as they had a
fight to expect from him and had a
right to expect from thisoountry long
ago. The vigorous prosecution of
the merger case baa demonstrated
that be is not ibe property of the
great corporations. The faot that he
has selected a stenographer as chair
man of bis campaign committee and
declined to even attempt to raise
great oampalgn fund with which
debauoh the publio conscience of the
country is very good evidence that
does not intend to put himself under
financial obligations to those who do
sate snob funds, and that he will
an unbiased. servant of tba people
who eleot him. While I do not pre
tend to agree with everything that
Roosevelt haa said and done, I think
be always aims to do right and hits
the ball's eye about as often as any
body I(know.
"Ed" Hoch has been a ntighbor of
mine for. years. I have long been his
friend and I hope he will receive the
majority toiwhloh bis merits entitle
him., I think he is just as good
man aa Roosevelt; clean, honorable
and able. I oannot see how the state
could hope,. to have a better man for
governor than "Ed" Hoch. As long
as the Republican party nominates
men like Hoch and'Hailey, LiFollette
of Wiaoonaln, Van Sant of Minnesota,
Cummins of Iowa and Deneen of lEli-
nois, the people will not lack cham
plons to support Theodore Roosevelt
In his fight for integrity in public
life, against any Improper domination
of corporate interests in publio affaire,
and for the highest ideala of the great
party of Abraham Lincoln. I have
the honor to remain,
Very aincerely yours,
E. C. Little.

BENTON OPPOSES FOOTBALL.
Former Kansan Now President of
Miami Vnlveraltr Declares Game
Ia Too Hasardoae.
Hamilton, 0., Oct. 4. President Guy
Benton, of Miami university, in a
speech to the college students ex.
pressed strong opposition .to football.
I recognize the fact," he said, "that
one college could not act alone. It
would be dubbed a 'sissy Institution.'
should like to see the presidents of
all the colleges get together to abolish
the football business. I favor athletics
and want the boys to have a good time,
but football Is too hazardoui to be
Justifiable college sport" President
Benton's remarks, It la said, were
prompted by the injury of several
Miami players at Columbus Saturday.
Prof. Benton was formerly an In.
etructor In the public schools 'at Fort
Scott, Kan.
In announcing Its change from a
Populist paper to a Republican oaoes
the Eskridge Star, published by Bus.
ecbark Bros gives some reasons
that will furnish food for thought to
all the old time Populists. The Stan
says that the Increase Jn the produc-
MM u . .
sum dub soivea the money
question and that the hosts whose
rallying slogan was "16 to 1" bava
broken ranks, furled their banners
and been swallowed up mainly by tba
two great political parties. Tbe Star
editor doesn't blame Bryan for tay.
Ing with the' Democrats, but nays
Bryan can't blame others who had In
their earlier poirtlcal life trained with
the Republicans for returning to their
first associations. He also recalls
the hard times under the last Cleve
land administration and contrasted
It with the good times enjoyed since
under Republican administrations.
He continued:
"The action of the Republican au
thorities In granting Independence to
Cuba after nialntalnlng a wholesome
protectorate over it won our admira
tion, and believing that like action
will be taken by the same party with
respect to our insular Inhabitants In
the Far East tend to Influence us in
our choice of political affiliation for
the present
"We most certainly favor Hbe.-aA
pensions to veterans and know by Ihe
past history of tbe Republican party
that It really advances the old sol
dler's Interests when possible; and
that the Democratic party's history
on that measure la not to It credit.
The policies of the present adm'.n-
latration with respect to the anthra
cite coal strike, Venezuelan difficul
ties and the Panama negotiations and
adjustments have been such as to
recommend the party of which Roose
velt Is the representative head In
highly favorable light to the thinking
patriotic American who sees In him
an original thinker, a righteous civil
ian, a high-minded, brave, forceful
executive. He stands for many of
the poHdes which I admire. He stands
for many thlnga to further the full
consummation of which would a.Id
honor to any one economy In public
service measures, International arbi
tration, correction of election frauds
and exclusion of Chinese labor. Be
lieving that the Republican party.
drawing our conclusions for tbe fu
ture from the past, Is the moat pro
gressive, most resourceful and the
safest, we cast our fortunes with the
party of our young manhood for the
reasons heretofore given and others
good and sufficient to us, among
which are: The Republican firing
line It always within tight and bear
ing; It takes a position and vigorous
ly fights to maintain It; its utterances
mean something, and its standard
bearer le a man full of Americanism,
full of potential energy, perhaps,
little too strenuous, but aa we be
lieve Intensely honeat and intensely
earnest. Some of the monopolies of
the country have felt his Iron grip

Two Western young men who will
east their first vote for president this
fall wrote Henry Clewa, the veteran
banker of New Tork, asking, "Which
la the safer vote to give, a vote for
Roosevelt or a vota for Parker?"
Mr. Clewa replied. "Roosevelt" and
gave his reasons at length. Hera
are some of the facta he aet forth to
austaln hla position:
"Roosevelt and bla party are of
one mind; but Parker and hla party
are of many and contradictory
mlnda."
You can be sura that Roosevelt
and his party will treat the tariff
wisely; how Parker and hla party
will treat the Tariff nobody knowa nit
wa aU fear."
."With Roosevelt and bla party we
are eare of sound money; nut wita
Parker and hla party wa caa only
hope tor Its permanence."
"Wa know that Rooaavelt and hla
party will deal with tba trusts ear
lonely and Ttgoeoaaiy, aa la the past:

dential ticket Joseph A. Wright,
editor of the Smith Center messenger.
Pop, la a nominee for presidential
elector on the Pop ticket Naturally
Judge Dale would expect the Pop
presidential elector to reciprocate by
urging the Popa to vote the fusion
state ticket But Wright has balked.
In bis paper he says:
"Will we (the Populists) be bound
by our sale to Wall street?
"No; a thousand times no."

faction and the People's Party if

Washington, Oct. 3. Postmaster
General Payne's condition is declared
by his physicians to be decidedly more
encouraging, but they are unwilling
to hazard an opinion as to the future.
In the early hours his heart action
became decidedly weaker with re
sultant feebleness of pulse and uncon
sciousness. At times he suffered In
tense pain and once or twice he cried
out at his agony. These paroxysms
were followed by periods of exhaustion
with brief Intervals of comparative
freedom from pain, but the heart ac
tion continued to give the physicians
the greatest concern. Several times
during the day tbe pulse became so
feeble that It seemed it must cease al
together and at one time the physi
cians said the postmaster general was
as near deah as few ever get and sur
vive the day. The family, who were
at dinner, were summoned. By Mrs.
Payne's directions Rev. Dr. Cotton

were startled to find the lineaments
of Parker and Davis, both dona in a
hectic pink, staring from a background
of gold. Thousands of the buttons had
been expressed to western states by
the time the discovery was made and
fear that the Bryanites might take
umbargo led the leaders to place an
order for a smaller button with Parker
and Davis embossed In an environ
ment of silver. These Were sent to
Nebraska and other western states,
while the gold-faced buttons were re
called and distributed elsewhere.
