MAYNARD A WINNER

of all Parties.

who will ON Jan. LIST assume the duties O
the Office of Encouragement of the State o
Michigan in place of the democratic failure
who is now drawing the salary, spoke t.
the largest audience that has assembled Il
hear a political speech this year, excepting
of course Mckinley. Mr.. Maynard is ont
OF the most convincing, pleasing and fall
speakers on the stump in Michigan this yeal
and his majority will, we believe rank ur
with Rich's and Gardeners, $4,000 or so, 000
FL. S. Hadsell introduced the speaker who
was given hearty welcome.
He did not think long speeches were nee
essary in this campaign. Long arguments,
especially on the side of protection, although
pleasing to the jury could be dispensed with.
The people as jury were ready to decide
American voters were ready to decide tie
case that had been before them for nearly
two years. 1t has been long and hard trial
but is nearly over. The democrats wanted
power so as to educate the people. We have
had the education-the tuition has been free
and we are all prepared to graduate aud re-
ceive diplomas. Our education has been a
bitter experience. It's too bad the only way
to learn is by experience. We are like the
man kicked by the mule, we know more but
are not so handsome. The cost exceeds
that of the civil war Bonds have been is
sued, the debt of the government increased
and under democratic rule will run $50, O00,
600 behind next year. If those alone who
voted the reform(?) could receive the les
sons it would not be so bad. But the stom-
ach of the democrat workingman has only
pocket-book has been shrinking as the re-
publican's. He was not here to convert any
old dyed in the wool democrat. Many eX-
cuses they could find for holding on another
time, yet they must realize as did his father.
He was as good a democrat as ever and did
not intend to leave the democratic party,
but the democratic party had left him and
he could do nothing else but vote the
republican ticket
The great difference in the parties has
never changed since they started and the
great difference was part of the Divine or
der. A boy is born and a girl is born to
keep him company. A man lives who is
willing and wants to work and there is an
other who is willing he should. The repub-
lcan party is progressive; the democratic
1t is easy and has been for
20 years for the democrats to sit around and
whistle, find fault, and condemn the repub- |
lican party. When the sun arose 500 morn
ing democratic papers have ground out their
condemnation and faults. In the evening
500 more put in their daily appearance with |
the same kind of stuff and as is generally the |
case the fault finder is least capable of do |
ing the work. The democrats have tried |
it-now we must put them back on the |
grand stand to grumble. AS Gen. Grant
once democrat-said: 81 love this country |
and its prosperity but know that its pros-N
perity depends on the defeat and the con-
tiuued defeat of the democrat party as now |
organized and controlled" The same organ |
ization and control is ruling today and the |
same rule will apply.
In 1920 in the Mayflower was held the
first political meeting-and q civilization
started, based on the open Bible; man
should earn his living by the sweat of his
own brow. Three months later came an
other with slaves on board and the feeling
among the men that it was dishonorable to
work. one man should earn his own living
by the sweat of another's brow-they
founded civilization in which a school
house was a curiosity and manufactures are
unknown things. These civilizations have
ever been at war. They could not combine.
AS the dark waters of the Missouri flows in
10 the Mississippi, they do not join but side |
by side the muddy and clear streams flow
along. The red water of the Ottawa and
blue of the st. Lawrence do not combine
but run their own courses. So the republic
can party believed in freedom. nationality,
protection; the South believed in slavery,
state rights and free trade. They came
to blows and fought 1t out at Appomatox. |
The right won and we all thank GOd-be-
cause the right won. The South is again In
