. FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM McKINLEY
OF OHIO
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
THEO. ROOSEVELT
OF NEW YORK.
Do you want to continue the
present good business conditions,
which give .employment to all and
better wages than ever before paid?
If so, vote for McKinley, for under
his administration the protective
tariff and sound money principles for
which the republican party legis
lated, the depression, the idleness
and want of 1S93-96 have vanished
The country is now more prosperous,
labor is better employed, wages are
higher than ever before. It is
reasonable to expect that witli a
continuation of McKinley's policy
prosperity and employment . will
also continue.
If American statesmanship had
no better representatives than such
men as Bryan, Altgeld. Pettigrew
and Tillman, the country would
have to confess that "the white
man's burden" was too heavy,
But the mantles of Jefferson, Jack
son and Lincoln have been in
herited by others as patriotic as
they, who will , not pawn their
judgment for nominations or trade
their influence for votes.
Hon. O. F. Paxton of Portland
will address the citizens of Cottage
Grove 0:1 the political issues of this
campaign from a republican stand
point at Martin's Hall on Monday,
October 29. All are invited to
come and bear the speaking and
are assured of an interesting talk
That all the great powers have
adopted tho policy of the-American
administration in dealing with the
perplexing Chinese, question is evi
dence of the wisdom which rules in
our state department and the re
spect shown abroad for American
opinious.
Bryan does not intend to apply
the beautiful theories about the
"consent of the governed" asenini'
ciated in the Kansas, City platform,
to the Afro-Americans of the South
They are intended for use in far
away countries.
Last Sunday was a grand day in
church circles. The storm that
had prcvnilcd for three days pre
vious had settled down to a quiet
calm, and the ,sun struggled to
penetrate the fog that hung low
over the valley, and for a short
time did peep through the veil of
mists and give assurance to all of a
pleasant day. Long before the
hour set for the dedicatory services
at the M. E. church the streets
were thronged with men, women
and children wending their way
toward that new temple of worship,
and as the hour drew nigh for the
opening service the people poured
though its portals until all its
available seating capacity had been
occupied. The choirs of the other
churches united with that of this
house of worship and some beauti
ful praise selections were sung
Presiding Elder Ford preached
an eloquent sermon and won the
uearts ot 111s Hearers, lie was
ably assisted in the various other
functions by the resident pastor C.
E. Crandall, Rev. Bryan, Rev. C.
H. Wallace and Rev. Gardner.
Before the dedicatory services
proper were conducted Elder Ford
made it manifest that the new
edifice must be clear of debt. The
total cost of the church as it now
stands was stated to have been
$3.50o. There had been $2,700
paid; $250 more were promised and
there remained $550 to clear the in
debtedness. Under the inspiration
of the Elder and his corpse of will
ing workers it took just 30 minutes
to raise this amount and' a surplus
of $75. The solemn rites of the
service of dedication were then per
formed; the choir sang the beauti
ful hymn "Coronation"; and with
a benediction the services closed.
This church is now launched
upon its mission of good under the
very brjghtest of auspices, and has
in its pastor an able, devout and
energetic man who, as time goes
on, 'will win many converts to his
fold and make the moral and
spiritual influence of the church
felt 111 all this region round. The
attendance of its Sabbath school is
perhaps the largest in this city, and
its Epworth League is. in a most
flourishing condition. Surely the
M. E. church people have much to
be thankful for and indeed they
have a beautiful home in which to
dwell in unity and from which
their praise offerings can well out
and up to the great white throne
where the loving master sits and
watches over all.
Many of the men who wore tin
roosters upon their hats in 1392,
and then wore Cleveland badges
upon the seats of their breeches for
lour years, voted for McKinley in
1896, and they'll do it again this
year.
i.ue only German daily news
paper in Kansas has joined the big
procession 111 that prosperous state
and declared for McKinley and
Roosevelt.
The handsome gain in ponula
tion made, by Memphis shows con
clusively that the prosperity en
joyed by that Southern city is not
ot the temnorarv vnrietv. The
business men of Memphis are firm
expansionists.
Democratic abuse of Governor
Roosevelt indicates quite clearly
that his campaign speeches are
vote-makers. The largest num
ber of clubs is always to be found
under the trees bearing the best
truit.
The more Bryaii talks, the more
he conviuccs the people that he is
not constructed of the sort of timber
that presidents are made of.
Former President Harrison hits
the nail on the head when he de
clares the full dinner pail is not a
sordid emblem. The man wlin
will not work and provide for his
family is not a good citizen.
As the election of McKinley be
comes a greater certainty, the in
crease of confidence in security
values continues steady.
a ue democratic stone and eere
throwers have manifested their dis
like for Governor Roosevelt, but
the American vote-casters will off
set all that sort of thing on election
day.
The wild predictions indulged in Lincoln would he

Tuesday was a dark and foggy
dav, with intermittent fulls of rain,
but notwithstanding the .threaten
ing elements hiany people came to
town from long distances out to
hear the Hon. Thomas. H. Tongue
discuss the political situation that
today confronts the American
people. He was advertised for
o'clock, but the train that brought
him did not arrive until nearly five
He was met at the depot by a large
number of our most prominent citi
zens and escorted to the Hotel Slier
wood, where an informal reception
was held for half an hour. As the
Opera House, where he was to
speak, had been engaged for a
democratic speaker that evening.
the committee provided Masonic
Hall. At 7.30 the people began to
come and by 8 o'clock the hall was
filled and but little standing room
remained unoccupied. Among the
audience was a goodly number of
ladies.
Hon. James Hemenway presided
over the meeting and in a neat and
apt little speech presented the
speaker of the evening Hon. Thomas
H. Tongue, who spoke for over two
hours and held the closest attention
of his hearers. He claimed that
the administration had fulfilled
every and all the pledges made four
years ago, and as a result the
factories all over this country are
running, the laborer everywhere!
has now employment and a full
dinner-pail; an increased volume oj
money in the country and an in
crease in wages, while there was A

In his defense of the ad minis
tration's Philippine policy he liiadd

u luuruugmy bouuti anu most com
prehensive argument. He proved
the title of this country to the
Philippines by every principle o
international law to be perfect
right and just, and said that the
utter weakness of imperialism as an
issue would be proven.
ihe prosperous conditions that
prevail today was forcibly con
trasted with the hard times of four
years ago.
Un the question of trusts he
completely upset all the arguments
of the opposition and placed the
credit for the only legislation ever
enacted-to down the trusts where it
rightfully belonged to a republican
administration.
Throughout his speech his lan
guage was choice, no epithet or
abuse being used, and at times he
became most eloquent and fiowerv
Generous applause greeted him and
the instruction and information he
imparted made the large audience
feel better for having listened to the
arguments he so ably expounded

Hrvnn is already defeated and he
knows it, but he must keep up his
continuous oratorical performance.
The great increase 111 tin- price 01

votes for McKinley.
President McKinley has handled
the reins of government in a
masterly manner. The people are
satisfied and he will be re-elected.
It is said that the Northern
Democrat is opposed to the South
ern Democratic injustice to the Afro
American. If so. why do the not
object to it in thq councils of the
party?
The American people have a sub
stratum of good sense, and al
though many listen to Bryan's
peculirr financial theories, they will
not vote for him on November 6.
