Dugan said that II he had inadvertently said
anything which those who supported Cole did
not approve, he wished they would say so. So
far as he knew, the sentiments expressed were
those Of Cole, and he understood they were those
Of the democracy. That he had agreed, In ac-

the Sound country, didn't say clam.eaters this
time, but Sound country and he wished to start

Lassater, formerly Of Oregon, then spoke.
Said that democracy was misunderstood; that
democracy had soothing to do with niggers, or
any Of those questions over which people get so
much excited. That the democratic party
started In 1917, and was anti.tariff, anti.bank,
anti.monopoly, but not anti-slavery; that duties
should be ad valorem and not specific. That
this Administration was In favor Of specific du.
