literally broke up vast open air meet
ing on the green.
After expressing his pleasure at being

said:
I'VE are now near the close OF this
campaign-so near TO it that we can see
what the Republicans have done and ne
can guess all that they viii do between
now and election day and want 60 call
your attention to the fact that THE Re-
ifFfl !
ure- The Republican party today has
failed to make the campaign that IL
started out 10 make aua today IL 81 not ln
a position TO defend itself before the
public"
He then referred to the full dinner
pail argument and said that BE- was be-
coming generally understood that an
dinner pals were not full-ln the an
asserted that the laborinE mans condl-
tion could never be considered prosper
GUS so long as he was compelled TO keep
his children out Of school and az work
in order TO keep the wolf from the door.
The Republican party" he said does
not today stand for any policy that ia
good for the laborer. one Of the present
injustices OF the Republicans is govern
ment by Injunction The meancst thief.
the blaclSest murderer. is given trial
for his offense, and the man who labQfs
has an equal right To- that proceeding.
To-day the Republicans do not expect
to get the vote of the great majority ~
the laboring men and viii give you one
evidence Of IT, As the election approach
IS you will find more and more evidence
OF an attempt to coerce II the lahurirT
men are prosperous. n they attribute
their prosperity TO the Republican party
why is il necessary for an employer -
threaten them with idleness and staFva-
ton unless they vote the Republican
ticket
Il viii give you an answer % thar
question. Whenever a man threatens ~
turn you out OF work. AZ you DO noe vote
the Republican ticket you tell him thar
IL this country as half an prosperous as
Republicans say IL ls YOU VIII be- able ta
get another job. even ~ you do lose the
ore you have"
