LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
For myself, and for the political or
ganization l have the honor to repre-
sent, shall appeal to no mans pas
sions or prejudices, with a view of in
huencing his vote.
That work shall leave to the dema-
gogues of the opposition.
For two decades they have used pref
udice and passion as a foil to conceal
the real workings of a legislative and
administrative system that set at war
the common interests of common peo-
pie, and, under a false and pernicious
pretext, enriched the few at the bitter
cost of the many.
For years the masses have felt the
palsying effects of over-taxation and
class legislation, and their recent ex-
perience was but the dying struggle Of
a dethroned dynasty.
Your candidate for governor is here,
and am here to-day, not to appeal to
your passions, not to incite ancient
prejudices, but to reason with you with
that calm deliberation which BELTS an
intelligent people alive to their own
best interests.
1t argues well for the immediate fu-
ture of Ohio and the union, that the oc-
cupation of the demagogue, like
Othello's, is gone. The ghost of dema-
gogy may gibber ON some of the stumps
In Ohio, about hard times and about
pensions, and silriek for higher taxa
ton, but 1t will not succeed in fooling
anybody.
1t is to p;and intelligence, there
fore, that appeal, and, do not.over-
estimate the Intelligence of the $50, 600
voters of Ohio, when express my con-
fidence that that appeal will be in vain.
That many of the older members of
the republican party should cling to
the organization, even after Il had full
filed its mission, and abused Its oppor-
tunities, is perhaps the natural result
of reminiscent association.
But why any young voter of thirty
five years, or under, can march under
its banner of Bourbonism is incompre-
hensible. And / address myself es-
pecially to young men and young re-
publicans. Why should you link your
self to the Bourbon corpse? Why should
you act as pall-bearers at the funeral of
your own opportunities
Unjust, inequitable and burdensome
taxation, levied for any purpose, and
especially for the purpose,of enriching
class at the expense of all others, is
oppressive to the middle-aged and the
old, butto the young it is the blighting
mildew which destroys their hopes and
withers their opportunities upon the
very threshold of their lives.
The Mckinley bill unfurled the AL
gerian flag of rapacious and piratical
Mammon, in opposition to the glorious
banner of the brain and Drawn and
muscle of American youth; of the young
and virile, born to the plow and not to
the purple, engaged in a noble battle to
free themselves from their early en-
vironments and reach the highest
planes of American citizenship without
trampling down and destroying the
rights and opportunities of their fell
lows.
Under which flag?
You must give your answer at the
polls, and in giving it you should save
your common opportunities from over
throw and destruction.
Let demagogues maunder, but vote
for the preservation of your own fu-
ture.
The overthrow of McKinleyism in
Ohio this year insures the triumph of
the people in state and national affairs
for years to come. The rock of their
safety towers like Mt st. Elias above
the spray of the eliminating storm in
the nations capitol. There we have
the cheering spectacle of democratic
president and congress
''The temple of q peoples hope,
The center OF q lands DESIRE"
working out the peoples will.
The redemption of the promises made
to the people has begun long before
the regular assembling of congress-,
and 1t will go on until the high and
the low, the rich and the poor, the
mighty and the humble, shall each and
every one come into his rightful her
itage, bequeathed by the fathers and
guaranteed by the constitution. We
want you yonng men, you young re-
publicans, to come with us this year
and help emphasize the triumph Of a
free and intelligent people.
And now concerning the pension
question. desire to say few words
on that Ihave the right to say 1t here
in democratic old Licking county. II
could be no more appropriate any
where, for from this county you sent
your democratic boys to the front by
the thousand.
On almost every battlefield, from
Gettysburg to Galveston bay and from
the banks of the Ohio to Savannah,
xvhara Sharman'a iuyincibla troonara
saluted the sea under the light of the
southern stars sleeps one or more of
the democratic sons of old Licking
oountyl
And yet demagogues. seeing power
and place about to slip away from
them, are filing the land with the
lying statement that the democratic
administration Il going TO take the
pensions away from the deserving old
