/ believe that we should protect the
laborer against unfair competition, ex-
actly as we protect the product of his
| labor. The man, the laborer, is the
basic stone upon which is erected the
whole Superstructure of our Nation, and

you protect the laborer, you are pro-
tecting the whole Nation, and are ben
efitting not merely the people, but the
| country and our children and our Ma

| We must protect the man. Therefore

have to fight for it with the Yankee

| I ask you this year to vote the Repub-
| lican ticket, even If you never voted 1t
before. Forget that you ever voted any
ticket Forget that you ever were a
| Republican, a Democrat, or a Populist.
Remember only that you are a voter in
| these United States; that you own an
| undivided share of stock in this ma
tional corporation that we call the
United States of America, and vote this
year just as you would vote If you were
| carrying on your own private AFFAIRS.
Vote this year not for party; vote for
home. Vote this year not for political
prejudice. Vote for home, for Sacra-
mento, for California, and for your
country. Great applause.) Then all Will
be we'll. Adopt the same rule in national
affairs that you would in private affairs.
Examine the records of the two parties,
| and vote for that party which reduced
| the national mortgage. Vote against
| that party which increased the national
mortgage. And in so doing you Will be
| doing right.
You have in this county ticket OF
which you can be proud. Judge Catlin,
| Mr.. Hart and Mr.. Post are candidates
for Judges upon the Republican ticket,
and we may we'll be proud that we have
such good men to fill those judicial Of
fees Our candidates for the Assembly
are all good men-Mr. Sims, Mr.. Ennis
and Mr.. I4ovdal. They are all young
men, anxious, ready and willing to work
for the people and they are entitled to
the support of every Republican Our
candidate for State Senator you all

| Our candidates for Supervisors are all
good men. Vote for them all. I am say

| well as a Republican. Vote the ticket
| this year, and in so doing you will feel
| that you have done right.
| 1 ask you this year not to be deceived
| by the Democratic party. 1t is the same
party that deceived us in 1892. 1t is the
same party that we fought against and
defeated in '94 and '95. 1t is the same
party. Do not be deceived. 1t is the
same party coming before you with the
same promises.
| I am reminded Of a story that is told
| of the university in Oxford. 1t is known
to all of you that those universities are
