SACRAMENTO, Sept. s. - James Fl.
Budd, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, spoke here tonight to large and
enthusiastic crowd. Budd in his speech
defended the principles of Democracy
and laid the blame for the financial de-
preston to the Republicans. Among
other things he said
II believe in the independence OF the
American people, and that they them
selves will dictate who their officers will
be. and on next November, l believe,
they will rebuks the action OF the late
Republican convention. want to say
that when am governor of this state,
that amongst others, there is one
abuse that / will see wiped out
and will mako it removable offsnse
fer a member OF the police or fire
departments to dictate in politics. The
police and fire departments OF Stockton
have found their places, and will make
1t my work to bring about the same
state OF affairs in San Frsnciaco and
other cities. When We talk about this
kind of things, Mr.. Estee says. Let's
discuss the tariff You can't get the
Republicans down to state issues. II
you talk about our enormous taxes,
they say Let's talk about Cleveland's g
Hawaiian policy
There is another thing. We have a
lot of public Institutions built with the
peoples money when thare was abso-
lutsly no necessity for them. We have
five esylums, and suppose that after a
while we might have one in every
county. We have two state prisons,
and probably in time may have four or
five more. Now | will veto any bill
creating any commission for the erection
OF any public building where Que does
not already exist"
Budd reviewed his work in congress
and said he worked to get Sacramento
good postoffics go that he could get his
mail when ne was elected governor. He
called attention to the fact that there
was no boss rule in the convention
which nominated him. He scored the
Southern Pacific company and expressed
himself as . sure winner in the race for
governor. He said: ~ will veto any
bill the passing OF which would raise
our taxer.".
Speaking on the railroad question. he
said: II do not believe in the govern.
ment owning all the railroads. but l do
believe in its owning trunk line from
the Atlantic to the Pacific ssa5oard.
We have as much right to own the
Southern Pacific as We had to build it
for few individuals. II the govern
mont can do that, it can build road for
the heneft OF the public. Think of 1t.
This corporation combines to control 81
lines OF railroad. and yet it objects to
the government owning one line.
II propose to cut down state expendi-
tures as much as possible. Ipropose
that these railroads shall get their
rights-nothing more; nothing less.
I will see that their charges are cut
down % per cent. These are few Of
the things that intend doing when l
am elected governor of this state"
T. Jeter, Democratic nominee for lieu
tenant governor, Professor Smith, the
nominee for uperintsndeht OF public in
struction, also III. M. Larue, nominee
for railroad com missioner in the Firat
district, spoke.

Budd on his arrival from San Francisco.
He was escorted to Armory Hall by the
local Democrats, alao delegations of the

which were used in the line OF march.
Budd was frequently applauded dur
ing his speech. After the meeting he
