HON. JOHN A. M ADAIR RE-NOMINATED

(Continued from page 2.) that session, but I have the promise , of enough votes to pass it during the ] next session, and if you send me back for another term you may depend upon it being done. Not only did 1 1 work for better pension laws for the soldiers and their widows, but I went to the bureau of pensions more than a hundred times to Investigate claims on file with the department. I found hundreds of cases that had been laying there for weeks, months and years not acted upon, because no attention had been given them. I went through them carefully, ascertained what further proof was necessary, procured it and the claims were allowed. I now call your attention to the fact that more pensions and increases have been granted by the bureau since my term of office begun than had been granted in eight years previous, and the soldiers and their widows are now drawing over >IOO,OOO annually more than they w-ere drawing when my term commenced. I am proud of this record and I know the soldiers of the eighth district appreciate the service I have rendered in their behalf, and that they will show that appreciation at the ballot box. In fact I have earned the vote cf every soldier In this district and I confidently believe I will get practically every one of them. While I was working night and day securing increase of pensions for soldiers of the district, my opponent was having published in republican newspapers, a false and misleading article signed by an old soldier of my county. I have not a word of censure fo r the poor old soldier whose signature was secured to that article, and my heart aches, when I realize that his condition was such that h e could be used for that purpose. But gentlemen of the convention, if in order to be elected, it is necessary for me to engage in such methods, or to take advantage of the misfortunes of an old soldier who fought to sav e the union, by securing his signature to such an article, God forbid that I should ever be elected. I would a thousand times over rather go down in defeat than to resort to such methods to secure my election. That article published in the newspapers and mailed out to soldiers.was an insult to their intelligence, and more than a hundred soldiers wrote me while in Washington expressing their disapproval and assuring me of their support. The soldiers of this district have the power to send me back for another term and if you do so, I will secure the legislation you desire It piy Opponent should be elected, it would be more than a year before he would have a chance to do anything for you in the way of legislation, as the first session he would attend would be in December, 1909, and som e of you will die before he would have have an opportunity to secure legislation beneficial to you. But my soldier friends, I know you appreciate the service I have rendered and that you will not turn your backs on me in November. If you do, you will be serving notice on my successor that bard, honest efficient work in behalf of the soldiers and their widows will not win your support. But gentlemen, I am not alarmed. I know the soldiers who fought in the war for liberty, justice and right are not ungrateful and will reward me at the polls in November. It was urged two years ago that if I were elected, the district xvould lose its standing in the way of committee appointments; that being a new member I could not be heard on the floor of the house and that It would be impossible for me to get a bill through congress. I have now served in the first session of my term and what does the Record show? It shows that I not only secured one, but two, among the first class committee appointments of the house, equal to the appointments held by my predecessor after eight years of service. It also shows that I was heard on the floor in debate more hours than nine-tenths of the old members, and succeeded in getting thirteen bills passed by the house and senate and signed by the president. I trust you will not think me boastful, but I wish you would compare my record with the record of Mr. Crumpacker, Mr Watson, Mr. Overstreet. Mr. Landis and all the other, Indiana members who have been serving in the house for years. Just before the session closed, the clerk informed me that about 2,300 house bills had passed the house during the session, an average of less than six to the member. The Record shows that I was not an average, but more than twice an average, having secured the passage of 13 bills. I also Introduced several bills which were not passed but should have been, and will be if I am sent back for another term. One of them, a bill to repeal the duty on lumber, which if enacted into law, would save the peo-

ple of this district more than SIOO.000 a year. That bill is now before the committee on Ways and Meaa-. and I shall never stop until it ecomes a law. Another, was a .n 1 requiring the payment of- per ce interest on government money deposited with national banks. | An average of $250,000,060 has been deposited with banks in large cities for years and they have never paid a cent of interest. Two per cent on I this vast sum of money .would amount to over $5,000,000 annually, and would go a long way toward reducing the taxes under which the people are already groaning. Another, was a bill to prevent over-capitaliza-tion and over-issue of stock by cor porations doing an interstate commerce business, and to prevent wha is commonly known as watering stock with the view of unloading on innocent purchasers. Another was a bill to suppress trusts and combination, in restraint of trade and protect people from their extortions. You cannot find a man in Indiana but what will say that all were meri- , torious bills and should have been ( passed. Th e introduction of these bills and the speeches I made on the • floor of the house denouncing the wickedness of Wall street, the Standard Oil company and the trust corporations. won for me their hatred, and ■ I have already been informed that . they have slated me for defeat and will furnish the money to accomplish that result I have too much faith in the people cf the district to believe they can be bought away from me.; and I repeat now what I said in a . speech upon the floor of the house on the 18th day of March, that I would rather serve one term and have the satisfaction of knowing I had discharged my whole duty to the people than to remain in congress the balance of my life as the willing tool of greedy ccrporations. So the contest gentlemen, in this district, is going to be one between predatory wealth on one side and the people on th e other. I have faith in the gcod people of this district and I i know they are not going to allow the j Standard Oil company and the trust corporations to drive me out of congress because I had the courage to stand upon the floor of the house and denounce the methods they employ to rob and plunder the people. Now, gentlemen, you are here from all parts of the district and I want to tell you now, the kind of a campaign that is going to be waged against me. Mr .Cromer and his nominee realize that I cannot be beaten unless they can divert the minds of the people from the work I have done and the record I have made as your representative. They know I have kept every promise and have rendered a service that is approved and endorsed by all the people regardless of party and that I have earned and deserve another term in which to complete the work I have begun. 1 am reliably informed that they are going to try to turn the contest j into a mud slinging campaign. I am to be charged with all the crimes in the calendar. Twenty years ago I was elected cityclerk cf Portland and my service in that official capacity is to be criticized. Eighteen yea r ago I was elected clerk of the court in Jay county, and my work in that office is also to be criticized. Six years ago 1 was elected to the Indiana legislature and my work in that body is to be found fault with. All kinds of charges are to be trumped up against m e with the hope of making the people forget the record I have made in congress. I now hold in my hand a copy of an article my opponent has had published in many of the newspapers of the district, In which I am charged with owning a half interest in two drug stores and belonging to a drug trust. This charge is scarcely worthy of my notice, but I can truthfully state that I do not own an Interest in any drug store and never did own an interest in two drug stores at any time during my life, i do not know whether there is a drug trust in existence or not but it there is, it should be prosecuted just the same as any other trust. But, my friends, they cannot fool the people and I shall not allow myself to be led into a campaign of that kind. I shall not descend to the filth and mire of low, dirty politics to win a victory. Therefore, if my opposition chooses to make it that kind of a campaign, I ask you, my friends, not to be a party to it. Let them make all the charges they like Everybody will know it i s done for campaign purposes and will result in increasing my majority. I intend to make an honest, clean campaign and
