for that clsan. honest. honorable worker
IN behalf or the interests OF the people
OF this state--Sam Hyde. Of Spokane My
friends the nation and the state OF Wash
ington never needed the services OF the
Republican party as this country and this
state needs them now. We are just now
winding up four years OF Democratic add
ministratlon and We all remember right
well what tbs promises were before the
election OF that administration, and we
are painfully conscious nov OF how all
those promises have failed. There has
been nothing but disaster and ruin over
this entire country during this admins
trafion. and we believe now we can see
evidence OF the coming dawn, and that
when election day shall reach Us in No
yeEnber that the people of this country
viii overwhelmingly place In power again
thu grand Old party under which we have
seen SO muca prosperity. and VIII place
az its head that grand OLD Union soldier.
William Mckinley. Our people may re-
joice from this time forward that the
country Is again 10 be blessed with the
administration which has been al ali times
the friend of the American people. the
party which has protected American man
hood, the party which has protected Amer
lean labor and The industries of our peo-
pie everywhere The Republican party
stands for protection to American indus
tries for the upouflding OF our ocean
commerce: for fair elections. for safe leg
isiatlon. 80 far as financial matters are
concerned. II stands for the construction
OF the Nicaragua canal, which, j under
take 10 say TO yol tonight. means more TO
the people of the state OF Washington
than any other matter now demanding the
attention OF congress. The Republican
party stands and viii insist that Justice
be done the old soldiers, the boys who left
their homes and everything dear 10 them
and obeysd the coun;ry's call Ia Its hour
OF need.
Now, my friends. wish 10 say 70 you
At this time that | stand fairly and square
iy upon the last platform Of the Repub-
lean party adopted at their convention
at .st. Louis. tremendous applause)
wish to thank each and all OF you again
for your kindness 10 me. This Is the third
time In state convention OF the Republican
party of this proud young state Of Wash
ington that you have seen At 10 bestow
upon me this great kindness. This Is the
thing that touches me very deeply. and l
need not tell you that during this cam
palgn I shall work for the success OF the
Republican party IN this state and ma
tianally. and we viii carry the state OF
Washington for William Mckinley and
the Republican ticket al down the llne."
