nor introduced him to the voters.
Judge Robson matte a plain speech to
the pain people. That is, a speech full
o; argument and illustrations that they all
could understand. His speech was very
forceful and viii make many votes for the
democratic ticket. This Is German coun-
try principally, and uisey holi to the gold
Q andard, which is the republican platform.
Many have seen the error Of their way ANA

Judge Robson is against expansion and
claims it viii be a fraud and outrage to

Judge Robson scored Hawley about his
sugar farm in louisiana, which was max
ing him about $500 per acre, with the .
per cent bounty he draws from the gov
eFnmsnt. H.awiey answered him at Nsw
Ulm yesterday and SAID: "That is my pri-
yate business" Julge Robson says /, doa't
look lAe private business TO tax or rob
the people TO pay Hawley or any other man
bounty. Why not give the farmer-''she
man who SWEETS and labors for his daily
bIeslf'--a bounty on has cotton and other
products No says Robson. only the ch6seu
few OF the republican pie-eaters get the
benefits. sian, this 3 their private affair
and should not be criticised by the voters.
Judge Robson referred 20 usa many ecm-
pliments that had been paid the American
navy. He says II can cope with anything
that may come No against It. The Amer
cans say today: I'VE fear no nation" still
they lst the boss goldbug tell them they
have not eense enough 10 govern or at
tend to bAeir financial affairs, but have to
look TO England for the gold standard
which Is ; curse TO this country and its
people. The speech was masterfln and
cheensd all along.
