R « i T jjjb m v / ■ p b x m g s .N ' e w s — Mr. Kd’tor;~~ An ^diforiaj la the Cincinnati En­ quirer of October 7th, under the cap­ tion of “The Independent Voter and His Ballot," has, in part, this to say: "Seldom has there been a political campaign in the United States in which there was so plainly visible the oblitera­ tion o£ party fines at the polls, "We have Republican Senators and Republican Representatives in Congress in ioud denunciation of the tariff bill their party passed. "The crossings, the intqrminglings, the so-called bolts and desertions aTfe so,} numerous and cover the Union to such an extent that no party candidate can depend upon his own organization as in past years. "The currents of thought that party leaders formerly imposed upon millions Of voters are no longer available to pol­ iticians. "The party sbiboleth is no longer a guarantee of party loyalty, and inde­ pendence in voting is the password the i country over," Had the writer of the above sought to state the political, conditions obtain­ ing in this, the Sixth Congressional Dis­ trict of Ohio, he could not have done so more accurately. In this, the Sixth Congressional Dis­ trict, a political anomaly, at once strange and disquieting to Rpeublicans, has been made to obtain by j the selection of a candidate, Jesse Taylor, for Congress, whom a vast army, of Republicans re­ gard as the very antithesis of Republi­ can politics and Republican principles, and totally lacking in intellectual talent and ability to perform the high duties required of a Congressman. If the honor of furnishing a congres­ sional candidate in the Sixth District fell-to Greei.4 County in 1908 and 1910, it is inconceivable why the talent and ability of the Greene County Bench and Bar-r-talent and ability second to\none in the district—should have been passed over, or that very excellent talent in the many other vocations of life ’in our county, r#ho have served the party so faithfully and welt during honorable and useful lives, be totally ignored, and a man selected instead whose efforts in political life have been in contravention of Republican success. In confirmation of this let-us cite our Republican friends In the Sixth District to the fact that in the campaign of General J. Warren, Keifer, Seventh District, of Springfield, but a few years since, for election to Congress, Jesse.Taylor tookrthe stump agdinst him during that campaign, spar­ ing no effort, nor end, to compass his defeat. General Keifer is a lifelong Re­ publican; was a faithful, honored soldier m the war for the Union, winning his straps as a brigade commander by brave and meritorious service. Veterans of the Sixth Congressional District, don’t forget this. But Jesse Taylor has a sort of uncontrollable, passion at, times, for traducing men who gained distinction in the Union army. Recall liis aspersion, two years ago, of Brig. Gen, James W. Denver, a compatriot of Abraham Lin­ coln, the father of Hon. Matt. R. Den­ ver, our present' Representative in Con­ gress, than whom no more zealous friend of, and worker for, the Union soldier ever sat in 'Congresses will be shown irt a subsequent letter to cover this special subject Again we ask—as was asked two years agOy-when. was Jesse Taylor ever a Repubican? Certainly it was not when he led the bolting delegates from the Republican Convention at Wilming­ ton a few.years ago. Certainly it was not during’all those years he was work­ ing with the Prohibition Party, the worst enemy the Republican Party ever bad. It could not have been when, four years ago, he leagued with the forces that elected Mr. Patterson Governor of Ohio. It is,'indeed, amusing to read the Re­ publican record of Jesse Taylor ns he wrifes it, and note the enviable success and high honors that crowned his un­ tiring efforts, A record upon which he predicates his right to political prefer ment at the hands of Republicans of the Sixth District We cite you to the Jamestown Journal of May 13th last for this record—a self-written record of the political victories he achieved in Morton County, Kansas, in the "Big Seventh District of Kansas” (as he calls it) in 1888, when he was .elected Probate Judge at Morton County, Kansas. The effusion is exceedingly humorous read­ ing to the writer, who was a resident of tfie ‘Big Seventh District of Kansas'' during those years, from 1884 to 1899. As a matter of fact, ALprton County. Kansas, had, practically/, no existnece its a county, except in name, during all those years, nor could very many coun­ ties in that "Big Seventh" District boast much, if afty, more.^ There was scarce­ ly one acre of land in one hundred that was not goverment land, subject to pre­ emption. Even today there is scarcely a county in the "Big Seventh" District tiiat can boast a courthouse, probably not one; while there are hundreds of thousands of sterile acres subject to pre-emption today. There was not a church nor a schoolhouse in Morton County, Kansas, during those years Jesse Taylor won such political renown ns a Republican (?) and not a house in the county a Sixth Ohio District farmer would live in. Dug-outs and sod- l.ouscs signaled the onward march of Empire, arid but little else is there to­ day, in Morton County, Kansas. There was no more use for a Probate Judge in Morton County, Kansas, in those years than there was need for a Bud- 11st Temple. There was scarcely any- 1ody there to die and be probated but tile Judge and a few other tfcnder-feet, whose only probative possessions were on their backs or spread on the desert sands to purify 'ncath the torrid rays of a Kansas sun. About all the medium of exchange ip Morton County, Kansas, at that time was poker chips and buffalo chips, the relative value of which was fixed at the ratio of 16 to 1, Populism was the politics, and county seat sites the pursuit of <the few people in Morton County, Kansas, during all those trou­ blesome years, while the "Middle of the Road” was the Policy adopted by all ‘‘tender-feet" who looked ahead for po­ litical preferment when order should, supplant chaos in the ' "Big Seventh" j District of Kansas; side-stepping into; the dominating party was thus made j easy when the psychic moment should i arrive. It was too long coming In that; “Big Seventh" District to suit the! "Judge" train Morton County, Kansas, | so he took the "Middle of the Road" * route and hiked back to Ohio, where be I lowered h«3 hot-air ship info the Prohib 1 camp and took service at so much per, and now, ns a reward for "flying the J coop,” demands election to Congress as a Republican# j In return for this favor he makes a ; pledge to the farmers of the Sixth * Ohio Congressional District that if they Will (we quote him) ‘'send Jesse Taylor I 1 Hyman’s : ' ' m ■ t a ■ No One But a Million3 aire Can A fford Great C r j l p * Bankrupt . .

C.,. several years ago striving to obtain legislation by Con- • gress, to the end that immigration laws be passed by tl;e Congress that would bar from our land that ^tremendous army of undesirable immigrants then invading our shores? Since your efforts there, the stream of foreign immigra­ tion has broadened andi deepened, until today that army of foreign invasion has reached such stupendous proportions as to stagger the most unconcerned. ! The accounting for the money your friends put up to defray your expenses and remunerate you for your services is a matter for accounting between you and them; with that the citizenry in general of the Sixth District have noth­ ing to do, but when it comes to results from your efforts, Mr. Taylor, the cit­ izens of this entire Congressional Dis­ trict have all to do. Each and every citizen herein has a personal, an equal interest. No^ particular organization shares in this interest more than do_ the people in general, except in a pecuniary way, but when it comes to results, we are all interested, and demand of you an accounting. Did you accomplish a single thing in your efforts to stop tins tremendous flood of undesirables from foreign lands? Did you? No one in this dis­ trict has ever heard that you did; and the thousands herein demand, now, no delay in your reply. If you did accom plish^ anything for the suppression of this influx, of undesirables, what was it? And why has that influx increased' from the day you took service to stop it, un­ til to thin day it is far greater than ever before? What are your answers to these questions, Mr. Taylor? In as much as that class of undesir abl*s, and all otlics, for that matter, are far in excess of former arrivals, are not the people in this Sixth District jus­ tified in marking you down, Mr. Taylor, as a complete, egregious failure as an agent for the peopje before Congress? Immigration statistics show you were. Then how, Mr. Taylor, pleasettell us, can you assure the voters of this Sixth Congressional District that you can do any more on a good-roads measure than you did on ■ that immigration proposi­ tion? Come now, Mr. Taylor, honor bright, is it not a fact that you never even prepared a bill, let alone secured the Introduction of a bill, to that end? No one ever heard you did, and if you received so little, absolutely no, atten­ tion from the Congress at that time, hot; Can we expect any more to be given you were you a member of that body, pleading for good roads? Mr. Taylor, your prompt, unequivo­ cal replies to these questions are de­ manded by the people of this district, irrespective of party; and your silence, or failure to do so, will be accepted as an acknowledgment on your part of your incompctency to represent a con­ stituency in Congress.
