OFFICERS:
M. M. KERN, President.
tee has demanded his services
in other parts of the country
He would much prefer making
his speeches among his own peo.
pie who are his staunc i suppor-
ters and friends, but, like the
good soldier that he is, he has
disregarded his own inclinations
and has gone to do battle where
his service is most needed.
Just now he is making life
miserable for Uncle Dick Mor-
gan in the 2nd District. In a
joint debate at Clinton last week
Mr. Ferris succeeded in putting
the republican Congressman in
a hole. He showed from the re-
cords that he is a "stand patter"
that he was an ardent supporter
of Uncle Joe Cannon, supporting
him on every occasion; that he
has always voted for the trusts
and against the interests of the
farmer and small business man.
He forced Mr. Morgan to admit
that he voted against the reduc-
tion of the tariff on sugar there,
by increasing the living expens-
es of every family in the nation,
and putting millions of dollars
into the treasury of the sugar
trust. He showed that Mr. Mor.
gan had voted against the re-
duction of the tariff on steel and
iron ihereby increasing the
cost of all agricultural imple-
ments and adding millions ot
dollars to the treasury of the
steel trust. The same thing
was shown to be true m regard
to his vote on all reforms at-
tempted during the last session
of congress for the relief of the
people. „ ,
He also forced Mr. Morgan to
declare himself on the presiden-
tial campaign, alligning himself
with President Taft and the
stand patters. This is an
issue he has been able suc-
cessfully to dodge until he met
Mr. Ferris.
Scott Ferris will do much to-
wards turning' the 2nd District
back to the Democratic column.
He has the goods and knows
how to deliver them in a con-
vincing manner. ,,
After his campaign m tne
northern part of the state he
will make a speaking tour
through the northwest and will
:lo effictive work there.
ther shooting by the prompt ac-
tion of one of Mr. Roosevelts
attendants.
It was with difficulty that the
man who did the shooting was
rescued from the crowd who
threatened to lynch him and
only the intervention of the
wounded man himself prevented
its being done. Notes in his
.pockets indicate that he is men-
tally unbalanced and is laboring
under the halicination that the
spirit of President McKinley
has informed him that Roose-
velt is responsible for the presi-
dent's death and has placed the
task of avenging it upon him.
Mr. Roosevelt rode four
in the two sections of this class
and they and their invited
guests are anticipating a good
time- The following program has j
been arranged:

he knew that he had been shot
and then discovered it only af-
ter his companions had called
his attention to the bullet hole
in his coat. He went to the place
of the meeting and insisted de-
livering his speech. For more
than an hour he spoke to fhe
people much as usual except in
asmore subdued manner.
He was taken by special train
to Chicago where the bullet will
be removed. It is thought that
nothing serious will result from
the wound.
No political significance
ever is attached to the shooting
and it Will have little effect on
the election.
