ably Democratic and endeayor to
reflect the wish es and wisdom of the
Democracy of this district, that he
would always keep in mind the fact
that the Democratic party both from
the circumstances of ITS birth and
the practices of its life is the
party Of the people and that the
merchant, the mechanic, miner, the
farmer and the laborers were as
much entitled to consideration at the
hands of the law making power of
the State as the millionaire or pow
erful corporations. Upon questions
other than political ones whether
they were social, economic, COM
mercial or Industrial, Mr.. Lowry
said he would represent the people
of this district without distinction
of party or creed, or condition. lie

the dignity and honor of this district
and to promote its interests and the
general welfare of the State.
Touching the financial question,
Mr.. Lowry said that he was not in
favor of the establishment of single
gold standard in this country but
that he believed in the use of both
gold and silver as the standard
money of this country and in the
coinage of both metals without
charge for mintage and without dis
elimination against each other, and
in as free and unlimited coinage of
both metals as might he consistent
with the preservation of the parity
between both of them.
