FACTS WHICH CANNOT BE

The first speaker of the evening was
Mr.. L. Crumrine. and his remarks are
given pretty fully. The other speakers
were Judge Hayford, who made a tell
ing speech and Gen. Fishback. Mr..
CrumTine said:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men: There is one thing about this
campaign about which all parties are
agreed. All parties agree that some
thing is wrong: that the times are sad
ly out of joint. There is still another
matter upon which all parties
are in unison. They all
agree that this great business
depression, which is affecting all de-
partments of trade so disastrously
should not exist. All parties unite in
saying that with a country with such
vast resources rs ours, with such varied
climate and soil, with a people as intel
ligent and rs industrious as any people
on the face of the earth, a people who
are quick to see the right, and who
have the courage to maintain their con-
victions. that this state of things is
abnormal. Now if we can know for sure
what has brought about this abnormal
conditions of things, we shall then be
in a position to prescribe a cure. We
can then adopt and apply the proper
remedy. When a physician is called IN
to see a sick man. his first duty is to
find out what the trouble is, what dis,
ease his patient has. This is the
first thing hat he does. If he makes
no mistake in diagnosing the disease
he will nave little difficulty in applying
the proper remedy. Here is where the
skill of the physician comes in. Here
is where one physician shows his supe-
riority over another. He is enabled by
his better judgment and greater knowl-
edge, to make a truer and more correct
diagnosis OF the particular case, and
hence is enabled to more surely apply
the proper remedy. If the physician
should make a mistake in properly
diagnosing the case, he is as likely tc
make the patient worse, as better. He
is as likely to kill, as to cure him. Now
all parties agree that Uncle Same is Z
very sick man. And all parties agree
that instead of being sick. he should b.
the heartiest man on the face of thi!
old earth of ours. But sick as he is, /
we can only discover what it is tina
ails him, what disease he has got, W
can then intelligently apply a remedy
that will relieve him, and ultimatel,
restore him to his usual good health
