come tax plank was read and Jarvis
said, then,
"BoYs, LET'S CO."
He could not stand any tax on his 800,
900 or $4,000 Of income from his build,
Jugs, or whatever IL was, but he could
stand any amount Of tax on the poor
ground-down, down-trodden laborersi
but not any on the wealthy.
Capt, Ball said q graduated income
tax was pure Democratic doctrine.
Such tax has been tried and sue
ccedcd, IT was levied during the war
and after and he thon gave some OF the
details OF that Republican income wal
tax. He quoted the opinion OF some
unnamed English statesmen who nd.
vocated the income tax as way oil
taking onc-half or three-fourths OF the
income OF the very wealthy so thor
property holdings should be gradually
reduced 10 an equality with the poorer
people, "Tho dangers from commnn-

dangers from the communism OF

lie defended the Brown bond bill,
which was condemned In the Beckbam-
Jarvis manifesto, In doing so asserting
that all railroad bonds and stocks In
the state were
wATERED FOUR OR FIVE TIMES,
and the phase Of tho bill that called for
tho cancellation Of all the excess over
what the railroad commission decided
was the actual cost Of the railways had
his earnest communication.
IL was no question Of Democracy II an
office BIO elective or appointiye, and yet
these men gave this as an additional
reason for their bolt II was unneces-
sary TO pursue the subject for the bolt
was swindle and a fraud, and these
matters were all fixed in adj
vanco of the Houston convention
by their master, George Clark and yet
when these men come before the people
and attempt TO embezzl9 and swindle
thom out Of their votes they claim to be
honorable men.
He stated that George Clark at Don.
ton upheld the silver plank OF the peO-
PIES party platform and the income tax
plank.
He asserted the bolt was predeter-
mined and at ClarlS's orders, arranged
whom no was hero. He thanked God
tnat Hogg and Clark disagreed aid he
then commended all the uttorunce that

ASSAULTS ON CORPORATE POWER
with which Clark stood identified and
he then went ON TO state the various
styles OF corporations, national banks
railroads etc, that were behind Clark
In his candidacy, and responsible for it
In every way He was glad these

incubus. Had H. not been for them
there would be- no Peoples party in
Texas and he appealed to the latter 10
vote for Hugg They were good men
oppressed by corporations, and he said
10 them that vote for their candidate
for governor WIS Il vote for Clark.
He affirmed that th0ra was not u man
In the Clark following but who, II
you would find IN be- rail-
road man Of some kind disappointed
olilco-seeitcr, u national banker or
fool.
llo then went into the most violent
donuGclution Of the corporations that
had their yokca on the neclts Of the
people and reassorting that Clark was
the plant tool Of the railroads aud
other corporations, His party was so
small 1t did not amount to marking
ON the blackboard, SO to say, and what
do they doY Why they get the en-
dorscment Of Cunoy's party In the state;
and he then repeated the lndecencios
that Hogg uttered In his Dallas speech
and the rest Of the address was an APP
deal to the young Democrats to vote
for IlOgg and not to be deluded into
going after the strange gods, and SO on
and so on.
He urged tho necessity for earnest
work until the polls closed In Noyem-
Der II thoy would have success.

applause aud tho Ninth ward club de- |
