Wo nro indebted to tlio Editor The Review for the following port of the speeches of the can lutes for Congress nt this place it Friday: After the State candidates had >oken here Friday, tho caudiites for Congress from this istrict, Messrs D. E. Fiuley id T. Y. Williams, addressed io audience, in theorder named. Mr. Finley discussed maiuly itinnnl nnoRtinnu linrt kid that the issues Are nil, but ie speaker declared that iu his )iniou the issues of today are i broad, momentous and deep . ever before in the history of e Americau people. The Demratio party might as well dismd if there were no issues as aimed by some. The American loplo are more burdened and lavier taxed today thau over fore. If it were left to the apublican* they would claim, id, as a matter of fact, do lira, credit for advauced prices farm products. Many of the ople's burdens are due to the esent tariff law, under which jsts have grown up, and lich enables them to charge" iat they please. Tne people e now paying tribute to tho jst9 on a majority, in value, of e commodities they buy. The vernment is far more expense than it should be, the spoukdeclared. Besides, there is rruptiou in som9 departments, le frauds in the post office deutmont and in the matter of vernment lands were referred The Republicans have owu arrogaut and no longer ar the peoplu. Tho tendency absolutism in government els commented upon, and the ?oung man in tho White ouse" criticised for attomptg, as in the recent. pension atter, to make laws, instead of mfining himself to executing era. Tho effect of Roosevelt's mous pension order No. 78 was :plained. The popularity of cKiuley and the marked un>uularity of Roosevelt in the >uth wore alluded to. He has ;t to hear, the speaker said, of white man in the south saying good word for Roosevelt. The emocrats secured the best of te last session of Congress, from political standpoint. It was le shortest session in 30 years, ?r tbe reason that the adrainisation wanted to get rid of conreas, as the Democrats kept taking speeches emphasizing s corruption and extravagance. Mr. Finley said that he had ^presented this district since 598 and had rendered the best rvice of which he is capable of iving. He had endeavored to irry out every pledge made to \o people. He felt that his Kporience better qualified him >r etfective work in the future, to had never appealed to county ride and had represented all aunties with equal zeal and li rnoaQ MR. WILLIAMS, fter expressing the pleasure it fforded him to meet and to peak to so many of his friends, )ok occasion to thank the peole of Lancaster county for the verwiielraing vote given him cr the Legislature two years go?the largest vote any man as ever received in this couuty fhere he had opposition. He id not consider it necessary to ntroduce himself to a Lancaster .*.<1 1-1 1 uuiuutn, j no peupio naa Known lira from hi9 boyhood, knew hi9 ecord, and it was upon that ecord he asked to be sent to Jongress. Ho would make no ppeal to county pride. If the ieople thought his opponeut has nore ability and can better erve them, they should vote for iim. It was unnecessary for him to nay thr * i* <vns going to make a clean, fui- race, as he had nhv^ys conducted such a campaign, and the peoplo had always given him. what ho asked for. Referring to Mr. Fiuley's claim as to the value of his exporiouce in Congress, Mr. Williams said that his own experience a9 a legislator , acquired by years of service in the Legislature, should also bo considered. More depends, he declared, upon the man than upou the term of service. You might cend some meu to Congress who would never be able to accomplish anything There are men in Congress from South Caroliua who haVO obtainod for fchfiir rnnaf.if.n ents iu ono year more than his opponeut lias for his in six. If Mr. Finley measures up to John Sharpo Williams, Joe Caunon and other leading lights in (J3tigress whose long terms of service hnd boon roferrod to, the people should vote for him, but if he does not so measure up, Mr. Williams thought they should vote for him. His opponent's six years service and the $30,000. lie had received ought to be enough for one man. He said that later ou, when the campaign had been arranged for the District, ho would discuss fully tho issues before the people.
