 Senator Hanna, after thanking the au- dience for the hearty reception accorded him. said:
 We are on the eve of political cam paign second to none in importance, on the issue of which depends the prosperity of the country. I leave the discussion of that matter to abler hands, those who will soon address you.
 'I want to sound a note of warning to- night which the importance of the cam- paign justifies. I want to call your atten- ton to the duty before you, not only to individuals, but to the whole country. This is duty that is not transferable. It can not be placed on your neighbor. It is your individual duty.
 "The time is at hand when every man Is called on to contribute what he can to perpetuate this administration. It has been demonstrated beyond any doubt that the policy of the Republican party and Prest- dent Mckinley (applause) stands for every thing which means the welfare and well being of the country at large.
 You cannot shiri in this country, be- cause every man who has any property fael hof is fOl1t any other and that he must fight Tor his own interests.
 A Note of Warning
 "A note of warning has come from the national Republican headquarters. I am responsible for that (Cheers) I know the nature of the contest which is before us, and l tell you that you cannot afford to take anything for granted to miss a trick .Laughter and cheers.)
 I've are confronted with a dangerous fee and Bryanism is in the balance, and if that is killed now it is killed forever.
 T will now quote from one of Governor Roosevelt's speeches recently delivered by him, in which he says:
 Every man who loves his country is called upon now to stand shoulder to shoulder to maintain the prosperity which has given us to much
 This is materially true. There have been two object lessons presented to the people of this country In 1892, under a Repubi- can administration, found ourselves in prosperity; the spindles were all busy, our factories and industries were busy on every hand. Then came a change. The people said they wanted a change and they got it.
 "I will not picture to you how labor was then out of employment and how month after month it grew worse. You know all about that well as I can tell you.
 'The people then wanted another change and they got it. And what a change it was and how the spindles began to spin again in the factories, resulting in happy homes and firesides all the land.
 Now, do you want another change and go back to conditions that prevailed in 1893? (Cries of no, no)
 Then you must do your duty. I want New Jersey to set example to the whole country-one that shall be seen and recog- nized all over the land. (Applause) lover confidence is the worst feature of this campaign. No one can be blamed for confidence in that the outcome will be after three years of President Mckinley but remember that we have an enemy which may be called the cuckoo party which is composed of men of every shade of political opinion, every crank and every n1hi1st They are all against us. We must be active and it is to impress this upon you that I am here tonight and to tell you your plain duty In conclusion let me say, you must not neglect it.
