you gave it to me.
The Democratic candidate for Governor,
Elvin w. Crane, then made his appear
ance at the rear of the hall. and the au-
dience arose as one man and gave him q
mighty cheer, which nearly raised the
roof. 1t did not subside for more than 4
minute. From his entrance until he re-
tired, the people were anxious to show
how much they thought of him, and not
infrequently his address was interrupted
with loud and prolonged cheers. He was
admired for his open, frank and earnest
way of expressing himself. He said,
among many things
To-day we are in a Democratic state
which is controlled by a Republican party.
When John W. Griggs was elected, the
Republicans made all sorts OF promises
to the people. They claimed that the
Democratic party was unfaithful They
claimed that the Democratic party spent
too much money in carrying on the affairs
of this State. Although the office Of Gov
ernor was conferred upon Mr.. Grlggs by
Republicans and Independent Democrats,
he thought SO little of it that he deserted
the State to become Attorney General
Not one Democratic Governor has ever
thought of deserting his post. No doubt
Mr. Griggs thought the position was too
small for him.
There are lots of people in this State,
today, who, to save their lives, could not
tell you who is the Governor, and have
often been asked to explain who really
was at the head of the State and how 1t
came about I told them of the resigna
tion of Griggs, and how VOORHEES, became
Acting Governor, and how Watkins Sc.
cured the position when Voorhees, got out.
But they asked me who would assume
that Office should Watkins become sick
or died. / told them that I thought the
janitor of the State house would no doubt
fill the chair because of his knowledge of
State affairs. Gaughter.)
when the Democrats went out of pow
er, in 1898, they left three-quarters Of a
million of dollars in the treasury, and al
though they promised you an economical
administration they have, besides SPEND
ing more annually than the Democratic
party ever did, managed to make that
under Governor Leon Albeit was wiped
out, and since then the Democratic party
has saved money. An examination of the.
treasury reports will show that the Re
publicans have spent thousands of dollars
more annually than the Democrats ever
thought of spending. Their argument is,
that the Democratic party will steal the
State if you put them back into power
When the statistics for this year are
compiled they will show that the Repub-
licans have spent $1,000 more than was
ever spent in one year by the Democratic
party.
Congressman Fowler has been asking,
Who is Crane?' Let me say that Fowler
was elected on tidal wave when even
a yellow dog could have beaten US. Wait
until election day and he, like a good
many others, win know who Crane is
The speaker was congratulated on all
sides and his hand was kept working
like a pump handle He was frequently
hailed as Governor" and was cheered
Justify when he departed.

ward Commissioner, spoke about the poor
