seen their business swept away and their
earnings confscated by the trusts. no
avenue of trade is safe from assault by
millionaires, who crush small operators
only to gobble up more of the country's
wealth. The trusts will, unless checked,
throw only seanty crumbs to those who
toll to create the riches the world has
never known the equal of. The liberty
of the worlcngmen is being assailed daily.
Now should they awaken to that fact
and profit by the opportunity that is ac-
corded them in the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. He is for the oppressed and
against the oppressor. The Democratic
party is standing for humanity this time
with Mr. Bryan for a leader. There are
score of reasons why Mckinley Should
be defeated. Every action of his admin
istration is open to criticism. But the
most important point in the campaign IS
the trusts.
.eThese affect the masses, and upon the
masses depend the settlement OF that
great problem. If men want lower wages
or no wages at all they should support
Mark Hanna and his trust corrupted can
didates. If they want delivery from the
yoke of trusts they should cast their pal
lots for William J. Bryan. He is the great
est champion of the people ever known
He is of the people and for the people at
all times. His heart is in the right place.
and If supported by the people he VIII re-
ward the people with an administrator
that will bring revival of business ana
create confidence in all avenues OF trade.
Workmen realize that they are not gettlhs
fairly dealt with The remedy is in their
hands. And I will be surprised II on Iues-
day next there is not a tremendous land
slide for Mr. Bryan, the champion OF the
people. The Democratic organization has
made hard fight in this county for MI
Bryan, and next Tuesday the result OF the
labors of that organization will be appar-
ent.
ST only regret that other counties in the
State were not so well organized ana
equipped to make just such canvass as
we have here. Had they done so this
State would give Mr.. Bryan vote tnat
would exceed his fondest hopes. The
outside counties have been hustling the
last two weeks and the outlook is better
than it was. I am not in position TO
make any prophecy for the other
counties, but will vouch for Hudson on
the issue between Mr.. Bryan and Mr. NC
Kinley. Here workingmen understand the
situation. They will vote intelligently ana
| will pile up a magnificent majority for
Mr.. Bryan. If Mr.. Bryan's election de-
pended upon Hudson County he might re-
turn to Nebraska and prepare for quick
removal of his effects to the Whte
| House. where he so rightfully belongs.
That he will be elected is my honest
! conviction And 1 feel that way because
his fate rests with the masses, and the
| people are for him beyond doubt.
! Taking I'D the local fight Mr.. Davis had
| this to say:-'We are called upon this
| time to elect Congressman, State Sena-
| tor. Assemblymen, Freeholders and Cor
| oners. 1t is an unusually large ticket and
an unusually important one. 1t will please
me greatly if we are able to shut out
/ every Republican nominee. And just at
present I see no real reason why we
| should not accomplish that very desira-
BILE end Our candidates will bear investl-
CATION. Our Congressional candidate will
| win There is no logical reason why he
| should not Mr.. McDermott has been
criticized and complained of to such an
/ extent that our Republican friends really
thought they had chance to work in
their candidate, Mr.. Van Winkle. They
have been disillusioned, however, and |
think a majority of them agree with me
that Mr. McDermott will probably head
the list of Democratic candidates. / do
not wish to be understood as speaking dis
| paragingly of Mr.. Van Winkle, but when
he is contrasted with Mr.. McDermott he
does not appear to be much of a luminary.
Mr. McDermott was chosen by the Demo-
cratic party because of his eminent fit
ness for the office. Mr.. Van Wrinkle was
named to fill vacant space on the Re-
publican ticket.
| The young man does not want to be
| elected, and he has shown good sound
Judgment in not resigning his present
lucrative Office to seek one that is far
beyond him. Since McDermott has ap-
peared before the public he has won over
hundreds Of voters. He is a magnetic
man and what he says can be relied upon.
He is not the man to deal in generali-
ties. He says what he feels, and no man
can change him when he has once made
up his mind what is the proper course
for him to pursue. By his fearless can
vass he has shown the people that he is
made of the proper material to represent
them in Congress. Mr.. McDermott is a
strong party man, and 1 will vouch for
him. He will make 2 record for Hud-
son County in the halls of Congress. His
voice will be heard and his arguments on
| subjects affecting the public welfare will
keep his Republican colleagues busy. Nc
man in Hudson County is better quail
fed to be Congressman than our candi-
date. Allan L. SMcDermott. He has beer
a true servant of the public, asd as 9
Congressman he will serve his constitu-
ents well and always ably. He is the
regular nominee of the party, and as such
is entitled to the support of every mar
who has the welfare of the Democratic
party at heart. We will need competent
men in Congress during the next foul
wears to check the progress of the Re
publican oppressors. Our fate may be left
with perfect safety with Allan L. Nc
Dermott. want to see glorious major

"As for Mr. Hudspeth, too much canno
be said in his favor nor can too mucl
work be done. He is a young man, bu
he has had wide experience in politica
and public life. He is in every particula
