M« R, DENVER, Candidate for re-election to Congress. It Is-withno small degree of satisfaction that we briefly review the records of Matthew It, Denver, the eminently worthy representative of the Sixth District to the federal congress. It is a record of fidelity to public trust and -performance of public duty that is not equaled by that of .any other member of congress wlfchm the-limits of his first session as a member of that body. Mr. Denver entered congress as a new member last December. En­ tering that body as a member of the minority party be could not rely on parly prestige, for recognition or advancement; hence the tecognitionbe reodlVed and the work henccompJished in behalf of Ids constituents was wholly due to his force of character, his judicious temperament and in defatigabje application to public duty. Mr. Denver was assigned to the committees on Mileage and Insular Affair's. The latter is one o f the important committees of the house ari* upon it devolves all the work of.disentangling the Complicated affairs o f our vasfciflenlar possessions^' Special attention,was given to the affairs o f the district. 0 . He succeeded in having eleven special acts passed granting increase of pensions to,deserving yereran8 of the civil war, thus seedring in one session within one of as many special pensions as his predecessors did ill seven sessions,, , ‘ ” , Several hundred individual pension claims, many of Which had been - buried in pigpon holes in the department for years* wefe called Up and put through by Mr, Denver, - s • handled for oomtilmmt#**d*im$ ,b0 fe » k Mr. Editor;-,* In the InmcBtown Journal of the 10th, tost..

He has conducted a campaign of Insincerity, evasion misrepresenta­ tion, \coupled with a private life that brands biro a demagogue, an ixponroit of hypofcrtsy, a black-leg hi society. His « p « r i e n c e, h i a a i t a i n^m e n t s, h f e associationqualify him Hga profess­ ional grafter and a leech on the body politic. The Herald has not come before the people at this time with a cam­ paign” story. We have never yet been questioned as to a single statement concerning this candi­ date. In investigating his record wo- have found Taylor in most every walk of life. He hasbar bills stand­ ing against him at this time. - To give much of the information we have gathered,- would be charged by a certain couhty paper as a roor­ back story. This Journal has the habit o f coming out1the' night pre­ vious to the election and crying “ robr-back” in defense of Borne cor­ rupt candidate 11supports. To offset this the Herald^ has se­ cured a.statement from. » former employe of the Pennsylvania rail­ road that assisted in pitting Taylor- to bed in the Xenia depot' hotel where he had come in an intoxica­ ted condition. This was during the time qf bis active work in temper­ ance speaking. Nor is this ail, bid sufficientat thiVtime. To Whom it. May Concern;—The undersigned is a resident of Greene county, Ohio, and a voter iu the Sixth Congressional District. I dm Weil and intimately acquainted with Jesse; Taylor, the Republican candidate for COngresafn the said district, and sometime In the sum­ mer'of 1006, I met the Said Jesse Taylor in the city o f Xenia at the Pennsylvania Depot Hotel in said city, and that ihe Said Jesse Taylor w«My%fhe oiffiof M tarn “All Thingsto All Men.” j .w-ytv*, vulAfiuaiiv ->w tlie aid o f Senator Eoraker, made tbe statement thatrhe w«s TEihga to A ll Wm*' Jesse wastlieD in the -early o f his campaign, when ho- was between the wet and dry fight. . I t wag in those days that specie! trains* good times to the boys and the like were on tap . $mce that time Jesse has been “ A ll things to all men.1' •Taylor is a double dealer in all things and to all men, so long as Taylorrs interests are at stake. He is wet in one locality one day and dry in another the next. He sits up witji the dry leaders "discussing plans for local option during the day and then with the liquor element at night, Taylor has the greatest fight in his home town and .township, . As evidence-of this the Herald has letters from the 'lea d in g , citizens o f that locality to prove our statements. When Taylor was decided upon for Mayor o f JamestbwH.--a few , years ago* it developed that he had been in caucus in the Sharpibiock with the wet element.- Taylor* more than that* * had, the open support o f the liquor people o f . his town as Well as the dry people. Seeing that this was not right, the drys turned Taylor do., i and nominated anotherman. Not enough"people could be informed o f T ay lors real po- - sition and he was elected What followed was Nothing, but an open town and Taylor; was charged by his home peo* * pie o f demanding from a former saloon keeper a per c e n t 1 from his, slot machines if he would let them run. The sa­ loon keeper refused and turned them to the walk To make good w ith the temperance people Taylor then entered the -• Anti-Saloon work and received $25 a 'night for his ■'services. ' The congressional conventions again show that Taylor was “ all things to all men.” He was for -Foraker' and for T a f t :. He was against Foraker to one class and, for. him to another. He wrote letters double dealing botfT ways when * his campaign was in Foraker’ s hands/. He* accepted-his , nomination in the Xenia convention when Roosevelt was called a d— anarchist, knowing the full sentiment of.that gathering to be against the present administration, which , he is now asking to carry him to victory. . •' V The Junior Order was Taylor’s pet hobby. He worked a number o f the councils to send him to Washington at their expense. He pictured what Foraker and Joe 'Gannon - were doing tp the working men: ‘ He told ' the- members of this order whatCatholicism was to the country. He went to Washington and what was his.record? W ith whom did he associate while there? I t was’ hot in the Interest o f - the ‘ Junior Order by any means. Mr! Taylor has represented to ■ S e people o f th is district that he could deliver the Jun ior , , :dqr vote. H e was to handle them as, so many' slaves. He was to have the whole Junior Order* soul and breeches. Taylor i^ a Mason and we ask him why h© .did n o l ,t o : to #fnd eacteroatoixs roacle la- *h« rural free M iv e ^ savvio® where the pabBe welfare required it, 1 Through hi# eflorla various points in the district have been provided •with pieces ol ordinance from, the war dpparttttent. The only federal appropriation ■ever made for the Sixth district is that providingfor a site for a federal building at Xenia,' and this was wholly due to Congressman’a Denver efiortsin its bphaif. Hois the author of a bill now pendingin’ the house for the benefit of farmers. It provides for franking pri- ileges tor,agricultural publications publications from the various agricultural colleges and experimental stations. Tills is Imp^rt^nt to farmers.all over the United States, #s un­ der such law they would receive valuable publications from -their agri­ cultural colleges and experimental stations free of postage. ItWould re* suit In greatly extending thatvaluahle branch of service to the farmers of Ohio and all other states.* • Mr. Denver probably stands alone as the congressman who responded to every roil call, except to those b£ the last live days of the session* when there was no business of importance before the house believing in attending to the duties for Which he was elected. ’ • As a candidate for re-election it may he said that Mr, Denver Is so Identified with farming, inamifaeturing and hanking interests ns to make him an ideal representative of the business Interests :of the district; and aside of the performances of bis required duties, he lias taken special in­ terest in supplying bis constituents, as far as possible with such public documents as might bo of interest or educational value to them. As a citizen at home, Air. Denver commands the confidence and re­ spect of all who know him. He is identified with the Presbyterian church, beluga trustee in. the "Wilmington church. Ho is charactable and hospitable and has always been a liberal contributor to worthy and charactable causes. Wilmington College, a Friends1 -institution, with which he has had nOdirect connection, but the worth and good influ­ ence of which to. the community he has always recognized add appreci­ ated, has been the recipient of aeyeral creditable donations froln him. **11 P a y s t o T r a d e l i t S P R I N G F I E L D ” <ei ■ .Hfel m / F a ll arid W in te r S a le n ow go in g on* Mail otd em l goods give perfect satisfaction.

The saloon element did not make any attempt to openly support their side* The township was the banner precinct tu the county as to major­ ity.

That convention which nominated Jesse Taylor referred to President Rooseveltns a damned anarchist, a Teddy bear administra­ tion, etc., e tc , and J'esse Taylor, indorsed ©very sentiment of aspersion cast Upoii President Roosevelt by that convention-, and accepted liis nom­ ination on a platform of bitler condemnation of our Hr, Roosevelt, which was Ouiy a makeshift for condemnation for Mr* Tait.

Information At this office. the people o f tH s district tho that tho were a lo t o f pigmies, SPhe members have arisen in certain towns and denounced Taylor for Jbis tactics. They have re­ sented hia work as detrimental to the lodge and placed them in a bad light as compared with other orders, . Even politically Taylor has followed the above motto. He was a democrat until he became the autocrat o f his . father-in-law's breakfast table. He is now sailing under Republican Colors. His Republicanism is questioned from the fact that he voted for M. R . Denver two years ago and openly campaigned in Springfield among the Junior Lodges against J, Warren Keifer, the war veteran* who, was then and is now a candidate to congress. Taylor told the mem - ’ hereof the order that Keifer waft against the American workingman He accused Joe Cannon o f selling out to the steamship companies* he did all in his power ,to defeat the General, Y e t today Taylor is asking the veterans o f this district for support when he himself is under the control of Foraker and Joe Cannon, whom the churches* labor unions and Junior Orders are trying to defeat. A meeting o f the postmasters o f the district was held recently in Cincinnati at the Grand Hotel, They were called there by Taylor, They were to ask for a room under an assumed name, but cautioned hoi, to inquire at the desk for Taylor.., A fter the meeting Taylor^ announced, that the meeting was in the interest of the Junior Order. I t was a lie pure and simple. I t was just another case where this ‘ , order was used as a cloak to cover up a gathering o f postmas­ ters-for political purposes* which the postoffice department prohibits. There was one postmaster who was not invited. Taylor had filed charges against hiin some weeks ago. He was charged with activity in politics. Double-dealing again marked'Taylor in charging, one postmaster with the very thing that he called the others together for. Its “ A ll things to all men. • __ / __ . ■fl HOW TO ,VOTE.
