| l say that we can better ourselves
in this and other respects, if the cltl-
zens of this State will only work to-
gether and vote for men who will
fight against monopoly and capital,
and for the people.
| | wish to call the attention of my
listeners to few instances at home
here, where a small political pot
boils and runs over to the side OF
the blessed few. One is that this
county collects three or more licenses
for the purpose of allowing as many
men to do a hauling and draylng
bushes in. Carson. I can name half
a dozen instances similar to those |
am about to illustrate.
Here the Chair called the Speaker
to order, and several members
claimed that he was off the question.
The Club finally decided to let him
90 ahead, and he continued.
The county and city have, in the
course Of term of office, consider
able hauling to do. Now, sir, for
years FAST one man has hal all Of
this work, and although other men
pay license to do work of this kind,
YOU can never see their names on the
publ shed list of county or city dis
/ busements.
Another instance of the blessed
few is this:
The State employs physician
from the Carson staff of physicians,
to tend on the sick at the State Pris-
on and Orphans Home. The county
| employs the same man, ard both IN
situations have employed the same
man for twelve or more years, and
no other man can have any Of these
positions, no matter how competent,
or at what compensation he may be
willing to do this work About nine
or ten years ago, and nearly the
same thing, has happened several
times since, graduate of Belle View
New York, the most reputable col
leee of medicine and surgery in the
United States, offered to do this
| County work for $50 per month.
He also agreed to furnish bonds
for the faithful performance of his
duties of County Physician, IN any
sum from 81, 600 to 800, 1000.
| He sent his bid to the County
! Commissioners to that effect.
The man who held the position at
the time and who has held it ever
since had his bid in at S75per month.
The Commissioners awarded the pos
ition to the SO man, and that man
has received SO per month ever
since for that work.
Now Sir, these are all public posi-
tiors that | have named. and | think
that every man who is competent
| should have chance to fill them, at
such times and III the manner pre-
scribed by law.
Thus it is that the favored few
hold the fort, and sir, who or what,
is going to better this condition OF
affairs, certainly not the Republicans
in this State, for they have been
tried and have made no progress.
The Democrats, have also been
tried, and have made equally as
much progress. Is it not necessary
then, when the people cannot have
redress through either Of these pc
| litlcal parties, to demand third par
ty, and thereby procure redress if
possible.
Mr.. President my principles are
Republican, but when Republicans
allow those principles to be abused,
and used as shield, for the benefit
of favored few, | for one shall re-
volt and use my vote and my lnflu-
ence, to have the equality clause OF
the Constitution of the United States
lived up to, and if necessary, enfor-
ced.
shall vote for the man who will
in my judgment conduct the affairs
of his office to the best interests Of
the masses and not the one man OF
money power.
At the close of his speech he was
applauded by portion of the club.
Mr.. Folsom was followed by S.
Summerfeld and P. S. King.
The decision as to whether the
affirmative or negative side Won the
debate, was deferred until the next
meeting, and committee Of three
