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.
A Few Questions Asked.

and then tax sober people to support
tliem?
4. Is it right for per pie to
wish the temperance Cause -succes^and
at the same tiruo continue
to diiuk?

God to "give us this day our
daily bread/' aud'then support
the system that liceuses men to
destroy the grain by fconverting
it into ;rink to destroy body and

G. Is it right for men to profess
to call themselves Christiana
and pray "Lead us not intc
temptation," and support the
system which has ruined sc
many thousands?
