"This is a 'Dirty Dora' campaign: that Is the republican cry," said Ches ter E. Contrell of Memphis, Tenn., on Friday, while d'srussl'iis bin recent trlj) through the middle west on a business tour. "That is the overlastlng cry among the bewildered standpatters: "Dirty Dora! Dirty Dora! Sho eats mud! She eats mud!' You've heard that cry about tho ragged tents of the average street carnival, no doumt. Well, that's the sum and substance of the cam paign cry that I've heard throughout tho middle west on my business trip. It's the cry of hysteria, of bewilder ment, of despair. 'The rural districts in Illinois, Mis souri, Kansas, Nebraska and neigh bor states may bo characterized as one continuous 'roaring camp' for Wilson. There the Wilson sentiment is spontaeous. enthusiastic and ex plosive in a mild way, but marked with firmness. Unyielding indepon- denco is more genoral than 1 over saw It and I have participated more or less in ten national campaigns. Strong With Mii-sse. 'In the municipal districts it is dif ferent in a distinct way. The organ ization in the cities and towns is more mechanical. There are more oratory and brass band blare than have been. heard for many years. But there is a noticeable degree of independence in the daily expressions of choice, even there. "Wilson is strong with the masses. His exalted Ideals attract the consci entious citizenry everywhere. The most vigorous charges and claims by the republican headquarters appear to fall flat. Even Candidate Hughes' speeches are regarded, on the whole, more as a velediction than a benedic tion. They don't conio from tho heart. They are not a soul song. Their superficiality damns them. The leading implication in all of his speeches appears to emphasize bis very low estimate of the average in telligence of the voters. They ask for bread and he gives them stone. The appeal from his own party for substance, for something that will hit the mark, for stuff that will stick throughout tho campaign, at least, is requited with a handful of chart. Cheap Falsehoods. "I have never seen and heard so much cheap falsehood In a republi can campaign in all my experience. It is too dlsgustng to be oven humor ous. "Tho people are not asking for stilted platitudes. They want facts. They want an outline of the proposed republican policies under another re publican administration. It is being discarded everywhere, as you will see by tho returns from primary elec tions. "The outstanding fact in tho whole melee is found In the general satisfac tion expressed by the people In the Wilson administration, in its safe and sane policies and In the extraordinary remedial and constructive legisla tion passed by tho national congress just adjourned. A positive demon stration is better than empty promise at all times." Mr. Cantrcll is a timbcrman and miner of the south..
