favor and votes OF the people, each prom
ising relief to our country. They are the
Prohibition, the Democratic, the Populist
and the Republican parties. 1t is your
duty, tellow-citizens. 70 decide which is
the best. l am willing to admit that each
ana all of these parties want to be good.
am willing to admit that each and all
OF them is animated by desire to aid
Uncle Sam, and assist him to complete
recovery. As a citizen, as taxpayer, as,
trust, patriot, l say to you now vote
Tor the party, vote for those candidates,
vote Tor those principles that will best
conserve and preserve the interests of
our beloved land; that will most GER
tainly relieve the distress that is now
prevalent in the Nation. and that will
most surely prevent its recurrence.
That is the solemn duty of every voter,
and L appeal to you to do that duty. L
believe tor one that
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY Is MOST GER
TAIN OF SUCCESS
In these matters, that it offers the best
hopes, Its record is the best, Its principles
are better fitted TO America, it's candi
dates Will do the most good. So believ-
ing, will endeavor tonight to convince
you, to impress you with my ideas, for
know in my heart that the Republican
party ought to win this year, and hope
to be able to show you all, not only the
faith that is in me, but to convince you
that that 1Sith is correct,
THE PROHIBITION PARTY
NO doubt is composed OF people who are
sincere. 1t contains, no doubt, many
good people, but in the expression of an
old saying which has become almost a
vulgarism, They are like the man that
fell out OF balloon, they are not in it this
year," [Laughterl That party does not
affect the contest. If its members desire
moral, political and social reform they
should seek it in the Republican party.
Every reform that has come to this coun-
try-every moral reform, every social
reform and every political reform-every
reform that has benented the rich man
and the poor man alike, every reform of
this character has been brought about
and made living reality in America by
the efforts of the Republican party Zap
plausel. and any man, be he here to-
HeB Va CS hO WIZ lI1b ltillilS Vi Sdll-
iornia-any man who desires to carry
out any reforms to benefit the people
who is in the Prohibition party, should
lay down the armor in which he is fight
ing and join the ranks of the Republican
party, and if his doctrine is right it will
be adopted by the Republican party, and
If he is wrong the Republican party will
refuse it. The Republican party has
never refused 20 accept a right doctrine
and to do the right thing for the people
and for the nation. Applause
THE POPULIsT PARTY
Comes next-it is really the first in line.
not because it is the strongest, but be-
cause it is the noisiest. 1t has within it's
ranks good men, well-meaning people,
and they compose its builders principally.
But there are some professional agitators
in the lead, and their influence is not for
good. But the POpulist party promises
too much. DR.. Cureall is bad in medi-
cine and he is bad in politics.
A man who goes upon the streets and
stands upon wagon, and gives out a
bottle of medicine which he says will
cure every i'll OF human flesh, from toe
ache to consumption, is a liar, and the
man who says that he has panacea for
all evils in one nostrum which he iniects
into the body polite is also doing that
which brings suspicion of his integrity.
There is no one doctrine of politics or of
science or of medicine that will cure
everything, and when party under
takes and says that it can cure all things
by one measure, that party is evidently
in error, and should not be tolerated or
supported by the people. They are going
to reyolutionize everything.
THEY UNDERTAKE TOO MUCH.
They promise too much. In California
particularly they are inconsistent. They
very gravely resolve in this State agains:
land monopoly and national banks, and
then they nominate a director of ma
tional bank and land monopolist for
Governor, and are marching after his
banner to-day. They very gravely re-
solved against public Office holders hav-
ing anything to do with their conventions
or their candidates, and they permitted
perennial office-holder to direct the pol
icy of their platform and the proceedings
of their convention. They very gravely
resolved and made speeches against the
best class of people on earth-lawyers
[laughterl, I and then nominated lawyer
for United States Senator. and are shout
ing his praise all over the land. These
and other eccentricities show the weak
ness OF their cause, and show that they
are not entitled to the respect which their
honest and well-meaning followers give
ham TThnU nffar NJ ,alx
Quack nostrum of an irredeemable cur
rency. They offer also an impossible re-
duction of salaries and of expenses of
State Government, and in addition con-
certed denunciation not alone of every
but of all capital. wherever situ-
ated, or engaged in whatever business.
Wherever they have been in power-in
Kansas, in Oregon. in Colorado-they
have worked evil to the people and not
good.
THE PROFESSIONAL AGITAToRS
Have had control of the party, and the
good men, the sound minds have been
beaten down into hopeless minority.
They cannot claim any votes in Califor-
MIA upon the record which they have
made here, for they have no record We
can JuuSe oi tnem py tnelr record else-
where, and it is bad. What can we rea-
son from but from facts that we know?
What can we judge of man save by the
he keeps and the people ne as
sociates with? AS was said by the lady
in the play, after the man who killed her
parents and sought her life and her dis
honor protested the recttude of his in
tentions, and when she chose death before
dishonor she said in response to him: az
Judge thee by thy mates and record: it is
for God to judge thee as thou art"
