Extract From the Speech of John W. Arc
lander at Cretin Hall Last Saturday Even
ing
Asto the legislative and county tickets
of the Peoples party in Ramsey county,
have not been sufficiently informed in
regard to their personnel to give any
opinion, but was most dIsagreeably
surprised the other day on reading in
the papers that the Peoples party of
Ramsey county, or at least its commit
tee, had Endorsed and nominated w. ID.
Cornish. the Republican candidate for
district judge. Now, gentlemen, l am
satisfied that there must be mistake
or something else. W. d. Cornish is
not only the nominee of the monopois-
tic Republican corporation party, and
prominent member of that party, but
what is worse, he was, before he went
on the bench, the attorney of the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. the most rabid cor
poratlon organ in the state, and it was
at the dictation of the Pioneer Press he
was placed on the bench in the first
place. and for the express purpose of
serving the corporations and monopol-
lists AS trusted friend on that bench.
He certainly has not failed them in
their expectations. The whole makeup
of this man is that Of an aristocrat and
a monopoIist. His bringing up at the
bar, by cases which he has tried for cor
porations and monopoliStS. has further
strengthened his natural instincts III
this regard, until he today stands
as the pronounced embodiment of all
there is of friendlinesS and servility
to corporations OH the district bench Of
Ramsey county. and such man the
Peoples party dominates and Endorses.
1t is enough to make the hair on ones
head stand on end. Either it is an act
of the blacklist treason to the Peoples
party's very principles. or else some
body had pulled wool over our commit
tees eyes and made them commit the
greatest mistake that ever was commit
ted by the Peoples party in this state.
SO much more aggrayating is it TO see
this action of the Peoples party com
mittee when we consider that they had
chance TO indorse Hon. John w. Will
lis, the Democratic nominee for judge
of the district court, and not>only did
not do this, but deliberately went and
Endorsed his corporation adversary.
For many years last past 10 lawyer in
st. Paul has more faithfully and more
earnestly and honestly taken up the
case of the poor man against the rich
corporations and successfully carried
them through than John W. Willis. In
my opinion there is no lawyer III the
city of st. Paul who is more staunch
friend of organized labor and of the
workingman, and no lawyer with
stronger anti-monopolistic tendencies
than John w. Willis, and il he is elect
ed the poor man is going to stand be-
fore him and find justice as freely as
the richest monopolist or corporation.
and can tell you, my friends, that did
live in ST. Paul and had | ten votes
which / could cast, they should all be
cast for John W. Willis for district
judge, knowing that i'll SO doing / fur
thered the interests of the Peoples
party, and hope that all of you who
are here present will. on election day.
record your solemn protest against the
unexplainable action of the committee
10y putting cross opposite the name of
John w. Willis for district judge, on
your blue ticket.
