Gov. HENDRICKS SPOKE
for about an hour. lie said:
next Tuesday We shall unite in the
most Important act of tho four years
! That act is the election of president OF
the United States. In selecting q
president the people, under the consti
tuition, will decide for this country
whether there shall be A
change in administration or whether
we shall continue under The
Republican policy Of government.
viii offer few reasons, my felluw-citi-
zens, why we should have d
change, and that is all the argument
have to make this after
noon. For twOnty years tho Republi-
can party has been saying to the
| Democrats. "You are not worthy t.
take charge of public Matters" For
tU onty years they have excluded the
Democrats from every position OF honor

within that is to cea appeal to Re.
publicans. Don't you know
that your neighbors are as good
rs you are2 Don't you know that
the Democrats pay their taxes and dis

| society, and now they propose tc
sasert their rights in the govern
ment OF the country. cloud applause
Upon what principle is it, that one party
is to be kept constantly in power? Isn't
the fifth OF century lonp
enough? Oughten't there to be d
change after political party
has boon in power for twenty years?
