steel interest, but the biggest part, if not
all, represent the steal interest. These
men operate on your representatives,
and money does the business. And
each lobbyist believes in the old maxim,
syou tickle ne, and I'll tickle you" The
congressional elections have been all
bought. Heard and Morrison were
beaten with money, and they are trying
to beat Mills, OF Texas, but they will be
mistaken. ''It is doubtful State" He
then drew a comparison between the
luxuries and the necessaries OF life, show
ing that the legislation OF the Republi-
cans is exclusively for the benefit OF the
rich man, and the burden of taxation
placed upon the poor man. He spoke
of their consistency, presenting bill in
the Senate reducing the tariff more than
the Mills bill, unfortunately, however,
the taxation benefits the rich, not the
poor. Their bill is sectional measure,
the Mills bill is not. The Mills bill puts
wool, coal, lumber and salt on the free
list, and advocates a moderate tariff. If
this is in favor of your interest,
vote for it. He then spoke of sew
eral other matters OF interest, but
space prevents me going further. He
said, if you see fit to elect me, l will at
tend to your interests that have been
neglected; will make this Congress feel
the importance of the district represent.
He complimented the ladies of Santa
Ana valley, assuring them that by their
power and knowing that they had power,
that he would promise them assistance
in reducing the taxes on the necessaries
of life, and not advocate free whisky and
free tobacco.
Col. Messmore then being presented,
said he admired the quiet attention OF
the ladies and gentlemen who had lis
tened so attentively to the young orator
who had so ably addressed them, and
who was well qualified and should be
elected to the position he sought for.
Young friends, said he, this is year Of
political education. Would the man be
elected who enforces the principles enun-
ciated by the parties who have been in
power for quarter OF century, whose
acts have been so lucidly presented by
Mr.. Terry, or would you elect the man
whose ideas had been thrown broadcast
by his message, a thought discussed
many years ago. Daniel Webster dis
cussed it in 1922 and 1928, so did Henry
Clay, and Thomas Benton, and
w. II. Seward. Discussed by them
and understood. 1t is here again, the
question OF tariff, and the growing gen.
Grafton are thinking. 1t is question OF
taxation, tariff, never tax. He said
the Republican party was the party OF
the rich man, and that their Legislation
had been for the benefit Of such men as
Carnegie, who was riding in Scotland
with his boon companion, James G.
Blaine. with his coach and four and en-
joying all the luxuries, while the poor
operatives who had enabled him, by
their labor, to enjoy it were glad to get
the necessaries and cot to rest their
wearied limbs on. The Colonel then
spoke OF the candidates. He said Judge
Dupuy was man of fine ability, fine
ju,ist. had conducted his office in a man
ner highly creditable to himself and the
county, and deserved the Office he sought
again to ill, District Attorney. Mr.. T..
E. Rowan, man whom all know to be
efficient, affable and courteous to all, one
was always ready to serve his friends,
had filled many places of trust. was
capable of filing more, and should
which he seeks, his genial smile will

and make them feel as he always has
done, at home in his office. Mr.. c.. f.
White, you all know him, he is your old
citizen and is at home with you. lie is
your candidate for County Auditor, and
is we'll qualified to fill the position, as
you all know having shown his capability
here, and should he be elected, and do
hope you will elect him, he will keep for
you as correct set Of books that is kept
in the county, and always be ready to
give you all the information you require
when you 60 to the Auditors office. He
said this was his first campaign in Cali
fornia, this Gods country, this, the finest
land the sun ever shown on, (and he was
happy to say that he had saved his vote
this country when the gentle breezes are
waited over it from the peaceful ocean,
and when the sweet dews are distilled
from the heavens and that when the
Angel Gabriel (after he has done his
duty in placing the noble men we have
as standard bearers in their position)
will say, don't know that you can do
any better, but come up higher and we
will welcome you. u.
