Mr. Meant Bald in mit:
"A votu la never lost l( U Is cast
for n rlKhtooiiB cause. If all wo
think about Is what party will win or
what candidate will bo successful,
then,, Indeed, Is our vote lost. Wo
tilioult! voto'our convictions over hold
lap In mind liow our volo will ef
fect the future policies of our coun
try. If wo bollove that tho proRre-
nlvc. party more nearly stands for pro
gressive nnd humanitarian principles,
then wc should volo our convictions
nnd not ho bound by n dead tradi
tion. Would Stipwii WIImiii
"If elected to conj;recs, I would
support our great president. Wood
row Wilson, In his European peace
policies and in such administrative
policies as the monetary bill. I
would work and vote for an amend
ment, to tho constitution In favor of
national woman suffrage which both
tho democratic and rcubltcan parties
oppose. I would favor a non-parti
san tariff commission which would
take tho tariff out of politics and
plnco It on n purely business basis.
would fnvor tho submlttlni; to tho
peoplo of n constitutional amend
ment In favor of national prohibi
tion. I would favor a 'national child
labor law which the two old parties
oppose. I would work for the so
cial Justice legislation advocated by
tho progressive party.
"Wo nro against tho democratic
party because as a national party It
is opposed to the Initiative, referen
dum and recall and national woman
nuffragc. Many of tho democratic
leaders have been engaged In fight
ing tho policies of tho president ex
cept when they want office.
Itcpiihllcau-t Ilenctlonary
"Wo are opposed to the republican
party because It is more reactionary
than It was two years ago. There
nrc some republicans which question
this. I would llko to refer this to
their candidate for senator. Mr.
llooth. I would ask Mr. Uooth to
answer this question tomorrow night:
Is It not a fact that the republican
party is tho conservative party of
the country. If not how do you ex
plain tho nominations by tho republi
cans of (iallingur, I'cnroso, Harding,
Smoot, Joo Cannon, McKlnley Curtis,
Knowland, "Pat" McArthur, Uawley
mid other slandpat candidates?
"Why not elect the progressive
party candidates who will stand with
the president In his great European
pcaco policies and who will support
In addition national woman suffrage,
national child labor legislation, tho
social Justlco legislation, and tho
other great progressive and humani
tarian principles of the progressive
party?"

LONDON. Oct. 21..-Although tho
big guns used by tho Germans have
been the surprise of tho war and are
accredited with having caused the
fall of l.legc, Nanutr nnd Antwerp,
some military experts In England
question the wisdom of carrying such
woapons Into the field, regarding
them as u bunion which an army
(annot afford lo transport.
Colonel K. N. Maude, disclosing
tho henvy guns, says In The Stand
ard: "It would be Interesting to obtain
the exact facts and calculate wha;
the policy of taking tho 4" centime
ter nnd 2S centimeter howitzers Into
the field really cost the Gcrmnns In
loss ir transport power for the food
of the troops. I am willing to giant
that the -12 centimeter weapon was
admirably adapted lor its purpose of
dslroylng steel and concrete targets
presented by the forts of Liege and
Nainur. Out seeing that the weight
of one of ttio shells is nearly equal
to the weight of a whole square meal
for one of their battalions, would
not the available horsepower, wheth
er mechanical or actual, have been
far better employed In hauling food
for men to the front In the first in
stance?" Military exports writing for the
English prccs say that big guns are
not really a noelty. The new fea
ture is their general uso In the re
cent campaigns. Heavy guns were
tried In the Eranco-Prusslan war
over much the same territory where
recent fighting has taken place, hut
their movement was found too much
of a burden.
England has constructed a more
formidable weapon than the German
howitzer. It is Mallet's mortar,
which was built for use In tho Cri
mea war but not completed In lime
to go Into tho siege. The mortar
Is now at Woollch arsenal. It was
built in sections for transport nnd
has a 3C Inch bore and a bursting
power charge of S50 pounds of gun
powder. It was tested at Plumstead
marshes and a shell sent with n full
powder charge penetrated IS feot
and blew out a crater CO feet In dia
meter. AT
AMSTECOAM, via London. Oct. 20,
4:10 a. in. According to an Ant
werp telegram to the Chonania
Transport company of Mannrelm,
some of the ships sunk in the port
of Antwerp by tho troops of tho al

Cohort A. Uooth the conservative
candidate for senator spoke to an
nudleuce of 700 people In Vlnlni;
Theater Wednesday evening, lie was
Introduced by George W. Dunn and
tit the close of tho address E. V. Car
ter offered a fow words of emtmr
UKOmcnt to the candidate and asked
him to stnnd In front of the theater
entrance and shake hands with tho
nudleuce us It was passing out. Cun
ning through the remarks of both
Mr. Dunn nnd Uooth was a note of
pessimism and calamity and tear
and the evening rcemed to bring
them to no other conclusion than
to turn hack to something In tho
past. Mr. llooth went Into an ev -
tended discussion of the business
methods of the lUioth-I-elly '.umber
company, then Into a discussion of
the tariff and cloed wah an at
tempt nt word painting of conditions
as he would like to see them.
Krom start to finish tho address
disclosed the speaker's limited ca
pacity. ills tariff talk was that of
20 years ago and completely out of
tuno with the views of McKlnley o-
pressed In his Buffalo sooch and It fiiwuiti. prompt mc the oonooetion
was even out of dnto with the fra- "'' ."J"'1' Wlil'' tliinh. as 'Veil" miir
mors of the Aldrldge revision upwnrd '" ""' Im,m' Hv,, " ih'imturiil
type of thought that wrecked thoi ,M' "'oohol Unvoted with oil of pen-
protective party in this country. It
shows the Speaker's mind to bo ex- '"eu'led sweet wines made trout

The speech gave Ashland voters
tu opportunity to gauge Mr. UoothV
rapacity with that of Scnntor Cham
berlain who spoke In the same thea
ter last Wednesday. Senator Chain
bcrlaln would easily class In the rnnk
of tho late Congressman Tongue or
the late Senator Mitchell or Ex Sca
ator Fulton If Indeed :ie Is not their
superior. Mr.- Ilooth's qualities for
