ILLUSTRATED FACTS.
LAFAYETTE Pence is one of the most enter
tanning speakers on the rostrum today. he
has a way of putting his facts to the people
so they will appreciate their weight an1
merit, and as a story teller, stories .olo
which emphasize a point made, ne Is perhaps
without an equal in the west. -. t..

THE REASONS
The sneaker said There are $4,000, 600
reasons why Huntington should oppose Ma
cuire. The reasons are that Masuire made
him pay $4,000, 900 to the government that
he owed. and don't you ever believe that
man who is so in love with money that
every time he sees the letter S he wants to
draw two bars across it will ever forgive
that act.

Pacific HAD "CHOKED" COMMERCE. IN
THE WEST TO BENEFIT CORPORA
TIONS IN THE EAST, and added that not
until the voters had broken the Huntington
power would western industries flourish.
In closing his speech Mr.. Pence told why
it was that people had broken away from the
old parties. He asked any Republican to
compare the doctrines of Lincoln, Sumner
and Seward with the doctrines of Hanna,
Quay and Ellsins. He defended the men
who had manhood enough to break away
from prejudice, and said that in 1900 the
and corporations would realize
what they had been doing. The people were
thinking for themselves. In the end they
would do what WAS right.
After brief resume of the financial con-
test and glowing tribute to Bryan and Ma
guire, the speaker closed.
Beyond question, the speech of Mr.. Pence
was the best of the campaign, barring that
of James G. Mcguire, who had the advan-
tage of explaining his position and environ
ment as candidate, as well as to the causes
which had led him to make the stand he
had taken.
So far as "the railroad in politics" is con-
cerned, Mr.. Pence is well informed, for a
foreigner, and seems to be educating himself
rar.dly. He talks at Pasadena tonight.
