Arizona republican., 1900-11-01

| us hear it once in while" He had also be n accused of riding in a spc- cial ear. That he said, was necessary in order to fill dates and as it was by the courtesy of his brother it was only his good fortune. He had covered a good part of the trip by blackboard and mule and had more of it ahead of him. He did not believe those were matters that vitaIIy interested the public. or that they cared whether he rode OF walked. He said he did not propose to abuse any democrat, though Vilifica- tion was the stock in trade of his Op ponents, but he would try and show why the interests of this people could be best subserVed by the election of a republican legislature and delegate to congress. He announced that he was proud of the republican party and it's record. al thing no good democrat could condemn him for. At the mention of McKinley's name there was great ap- plause, for Tempe people are patriotic beyond all things else.
 NATIONAL ISSUES. For at least half an hour he reviewed national policies of the last decade. Scarcely had the republican admins tration started the wheels of industry
 after the disastrous panic brought about by the democratic administration when the furics of an impending war culminated in the blowing up of the Maine. Then followed the historical events unnecessary to repeat, save that it ended by the planting of the flag in two hemisphercs and planting it to stay. Arizona was the first to respond. In upholding the flag party lines were wiped out, but those who guided the ship of state were republicans. Demo- crats were equally patriotic and might have done as well. but they were not in command. It was now the duty of the American people to endorse that ad- ministratiOn.
 He reviewed at length the bogie is sues of imperialism and miltarism and took up the question of expansion, it being sufficient merely to quote the record of national events in that mat ter from the occupation of the western reserve to that of California.
 He commented on Bryan's seeming oversight of the white metal in his nu- merous letters of acceptance, and gave some possible reasons. Trusts were given due consideration and democratic demogoguery exposed in the matter of attempted republican legislation on that question.
