to Addresses by County
Candidates.

II anyone doubts the sincerity and
enthusiasm of the sound money clubs
C1 the railroad shops he should nave
been at the new Pavilion last night to
See and hear for himself what the SEN
t1ments of the !, 700 members were
ana his doubts would have been re-
moved
Ihe occasion was a meeting OF the
clubs alone, admission by ticket being
the order of the evening, and the county
candidates being invited to be present
and address them. The gathering was
one of the largest during the campaign.
and the enthusiasm was not Spasmodic,
but continuous and liberal, all the
speakers being loudly applauded and
interrupted by applause many times
during their addresses.
Ex-Mayor Jabez Turner presided
and opened the meeting with a few re-
marks, touching on the relations of the
club men to the railroad company, the
fact that the prosperity of the one was
closely connected with that of the
other and could not be separated from
it; the close connection of the funding
bill to Sacramento's interests and the
Importance Of the election of Grove L.
Johnson to this community.
Every point made by him was cheered
and applauded, showing that he was
closely in touch with the sentiments
of the men and that they have thor
ough appreciation of the situation and
a determination to act for their own in
terests.
He then introduced Messrs Cohn,
kidder and Crocker, who rendered a
beautiful trio and were loudly encored.
He then introduced Hon. Judson G..
Brusie, who was loudly applauded and
spoke as follows:
BRUSHES RINGING SPEECH.
Mr. Chairman and Fellow-citiZens:
My first utterance shall be given to
the expression of profund gratitude
and heartfelt appreciation for this
hcnored privilege which you have SO
generously extended. In politics, like
everything else in Sacramento, there
can be no hope for the man who holds
an slight esteem, or who loses sight of
or is disregardful or Indifferent to the
support that can come from yonder hive
of industry.
When | say support" do not mean
the aid of a few chosen friends: L do
not mean the interest alone of the Su-
perintendent or foreman; / do not mean
that support which may come down the
llne, but l do mean the support that
Genes from the honest heart of each
1ndfvidual who thinks, judges and acts
fol himself and for his own self-inter-
est
When L say support" I mean that
support which comes to a man or to
principle along the road that leads
not 10 the shops alone, but to the home
Der, as L said the other night there
are two spots on this earth within the
circumference Of which there centers
every possibility in life, every comfort
every tenderness. every happiness of
the past, every hope of the future. One
OF these spots is the home, and the
other is the place where, by our daily
toll, we provide for that home and its
precious contents.
Whether castle or cottage whether
bankers counter or workman's bench.
the castle leans to the counter, the
cottage depends upon the bench. In
the game of life there are but two
gcalS-the fireplace and the provision
place From the cottage door to the
factory floor, from the home gate to
the shop gate, there is a path over
which the grass must never grow for
the sake of the countrys prosperity.
And if there is within this broad land
of ours a city which offers the test of
that eternal truth, it is the city of Sac
ranento.
AT time when other cities of Cali
fcrnia We're trembling TO their very
centers in the throes Of the financial
ar~fh 10 rr-li
C untry, old Sacramento rode through
the storm with that confidence, pride
and Independence which come with the
ringing anvil. the smoking chimneys
and whirring wheels of yonder shops.
The man that is indifferent to Sacra-
mentos dependence is one who has
nothing to lose: the men who are trying
TO drive you from the ranks you are
now in; the man or party who is trying
to divert your march in this fight for
hcme. have nothing on Gods earth to
cffer you as a substitute.
They are trying to direct your
shouts to themselves, not for your
good, but to promote their own selfish
ei ds. Their sincerity goes to their
cause, not yours.
! hold in my hand a notice that re-
G. ntly appeared in one of our Sacra-
mento papers. 1t reads: Attention.
