This within itself, is a strong argument iu favor of re tention of Professor llriggs. If his influence is sufficiently great to cause the entire number of high school students to petition for his retention, it follows without pos sibility of doubt, that his influence should be allowed to exist.

And there are other manufacturing slated for Springfield that are appreciation for the man who has done so much for us and who has also made a good senator. Let there not be one dissenting vole. Springfield News. McFarlnnd, Mgr. y Grown DISCUSS ISSUES I. II. Bingham makes his first Campaign speech. Only Can didatcs for Representatives Talk. A joint discussion between the republican and democratic candi dates for representatives to the leg islature nominated by the republi can and democratic parties was held in the opera house iu this city on Wednesday afternoon. Hon Ivan McQueen was agreed upon as chairman and A B Atkins was chosen time keeper. Each speaker was allowed 30 minutes to tell why he should be chosen the representative of the ixople. Hon I N Kdwards opened the debate. He said in part: There are 110 well defined issues iu our campaign am a republican anu will give my reasons for being one. Any state ment made is worth only what may be behind it. I believe republican ism is and has proven to be better for thc country than the democratic policy. Seven years ago the demo crats under Cleveland had full swing and that administration bad a very injurious effect upon the whole country. Every laboring man is interested iu the affairs of his cou try, it makes a difference whether times are good or bad, whether wages arejocentsor $1.50 per day. Under democratic rule the cry is tariff for revenue only. What would we think of a man who failed to make provisions for the future. It was estimated that during Cleveland's term at least 1000,000 men were thrown out of employment. Then there were ten men for every job now there are two jobs for every man. Mr Ed wards took up the question of the export trade showing the great in crease since the republicans re turned to power. $33.00 per sec ond, said he, is on its way to the United States, tint is what is mak ing Uncle Sam rich. When time was called Clark Edmundsou, democratic candidate, took the floor. He stated that in the begin ning of the campaign it was agreed the candidates would confine their arguments to state and county is sues, but my republican friends wander away to national affairs We have in this state serious issues to discuss. Our laws should be so Iramed that no one would be al lowed to trespass upon another. Equal rights and no special privi leges to any. Mr Edmuudson attacked Mr Edwards upon his record in the former legislature on his vote for the log stream and forest fire bills, also scored Senator Booth, was in faror of a flat salary law also a maximum freight law. Following this speaker came I H Bingham who thus far has not been, owing to the serious illness of his wife, able to take part m tne cam paign. If there has been any doubt in the minds of anyone as to his fitness to represent the people that doubt was certainly removed by his speech upon this occasion. Mr Bingham began by saying: This is n new business to me and I shall only attempt to make a plain business talk, The principal thing I want nt this time is to be elected then I can follow that up with work at the proper time. All the demo crats have done or can do is to find fault with the work accomplished by 'the republicans. The vicious loE bill and fire bill is n very seri ous affair with them. The man who can get his logs floated down stream for 25 cents per 1000 feet would be a lucky man. Mr Bing ham took up the question of the corporation tax law and explained why mining corporations should not be taxed, also advocated good roads, would do all within his power to bring about a maximum freight law. He closed bis con vincing speech with the advice to vote the straight republican ticket nnd be happy. G W Griffin, republican candi date for representative had given Mr Bingham his time and had but. a lew minutes to speak. He took occasion to deny the statement that Judge Ctirisman if elected would lock up the rock crusher, that the statement was malicious and false, was just a plain business man, if elected would do his whole duty by the people. J D Barnes, democratic iiuininee, stated it was 'his first visit here. He also complained that the repub lican speakers would not confine themselves to local issues but would persist in bringing iu national af fairs, dwelt nt considerable length on the subject of good roads and had planned a bill 011 the subject to introduce if he should be elected. Mr Edwards closed the debate with a vigorous 15 minute speech and ably answered the criticisms and arguments made by the demo cratic speakers, , COMMERCIAL CLUB.
