the republican party over the democrat
ic-populist combination two years ago.
said:
Now, our friends, the enemy tell us
they have lost all interest in national
anairs. They propose to make the cam
palgn upon state issues solely They
evidently fear to face the people on
their national record. Having no recent
record on state affairs, they are willing
10 go before the people on that issue
We VIII meet them on state issues If
they desire. We shirk no responsibility,
They say there are no national issues
why, we are to elect a United States
senator and "a representatives in con-
gress who will deal with questions as
important as any that ever received the
attention of the nations congress"
Payne recited events in connection
with the Spanish war, criticsing the
democrats for advancing the income tax
proposition to raise revenue for war ex-
penses, and continued as follows:
New questions have grown out of
the war. New territory has been ac-
quired. What shall be done with il?
New administrative questions will arise;
questions of revenue, questions of
finance, all of which are disturbed by
our responsibilities. Shall we trust their
settlement to those who two years ago
We're making a crusade against law and
order, against American credit and ap-
peallng TO the lowest motives of the
citizen? No, we must see to ii our DEM
ocratic senator retires to the shades of
Troy. We must have a republican exec
utlVe in the Empire state. We must
stand by the administration in the per-
llous times TO come, guaranteeing to
our new territory stable Just and eouit- |
able government that will give to Cuba !
a place among the nations of the earth /
and give to Porto Rico a chance beneath !
the American flag to march up toward |
American civilization and become part |
of the American people"
