13 Jirry Eimpsoa. Kansas City Mall. It looks aa though the entire force of the Kansas camoalgn would be thrown Into the Seventh congressional district The republicans have determined that Jerry Simpson must be beaten It money can accomplish It He Is held by them as the embodiment of the republican mis haps In the state. He has caused them more trouble than any other representa tive of his party. His rapid develop ment from a common, plain man, pioked from the humble walks of life, to a statesman of power and influence, Is a menace to corporate encroachments, and no man Is so feared as he. The railroads In particular fear Jerry. These and the bankers and other corporate Influences will be concentrated on the one object to carry the Seventh district for the re publican candidate. It Is hinted that, If necessary, every man on the republican state ticket will be sacrlfled to compass Mr. Simpson's defeat Nor la the deter mination to make an example of the worst foe in the state to aggregated capi tal confined to the state. As in the case when every power of the national ad ministration was brought to bear in favor of McEinley In Ohio as an endorse ment of protection, so it is to be wielded in the Seventh Kansas district to make the most distinguished opponent of mo nopoly odious through defeat It is said that a secret poll Is being made of the district and the name of every suscepti ble voter is being forwarded, and that money will be raised unstintlngly. Every railroad man of influence will be used if possible, and In fact no stone will be left unturned to show the world that Kansas repudiates the doctrines exemplified in Jerry Simpson. Fort. nately, Mr. Simpson la onto the scheme, and is accredited with sufficient political sagacity to circumvent the sinis ter plans of the corporations. The very fact that corporations have made com mon cause with the state and national committee against Mr. Simpson will cause a rally of the people to his support. The assertion that he is to stand for the senate is of course sprung to create a lukewarmness among other People's party and fusion democrat aspirants for that position, but that portion of the program will fall as will the other deep laid plots against the homespun states man of Medicine Lodge. Oorporal Tanner's Position, The reason James Tanner was dis missed from the office of commissioner of pensions, and the reason that he 1 op posed to the re-election of Harrison he ;lves to the Kansas City Times as fol ows: " When I was summoned to Washing ton to take the pension office, I was liv ing in New York. I, of course, came on. I did not have much money, but rented a house In Georgetown and began my duties. For redeemingThe promlsss which Harrison had during his campaign made to the old soldiers I was dismissed from my position. I was thus taught to realize that a big difference existed be tween Harrison's promises and his per formances. The dismissal came suddenly and, not to put too fine, a point on It, found me without a cent I felt hurt and broken. For two days I never left my house. And for two weeks not a man who a week before had called himself my friend in Washington came to see me. I was under the frown of the ad ministration, and of course It was impo lite to even think of calling on me. I really did not know just what to do. I was without money and couldn't leave Washington. At the end of two days, a ray 01 ugns came, (julto a rood of sun shine, in fact I recelvtd a letter from Aljer, of Michigan, who, first delicately Intimating that he deemed it a probabil ity, from the sudden character of my dis missal, that I might be without meant, Inclosed me a cheok for $1,500, and told me to uie It and repay him when I could. With that I took heart and an office, and went into the pension business In Wash- ton. Here I am." BwamDing the Mails. The following Topeka speoial to the Kansas City Timet of October 18 shows how hard "our friends the enemy" are working: "The postofflce at Topeka Is crowded with business as it has never been before, and its employes have just cause for com plaint The republican state central committee is responsible for It all. It Is now sending out daily twenty large mall bags filled with campaign literature. Each bag contains about 800 places, mak ing an average dally total of 18,000 pieces.' This is exclusive of the large letter mall that the committee Is send ing out daily. Even the postal clerks on mall trains are unable to handle the vast amount of printed matter that Is sent through the Topeka office, and they are frequently compelled to carry large bags through to the end of their route and distribute their contents on the return trip. The postmaster has complained to the committee, and asked for a let up, to give the postal ' employes a chance to catch up. But the national committee continues to express ton alter ton to ine state committee, which In turn feels In duty bouid to distribute it among the doubtful' voters or nansas."
