Shall we continue it, or shall we adopt a
policy that will stop the wars that are
now in progress which will stop the
death lists we see every week coming
over OF our own people. They talk about
Spain-they wanted to Christianize the
Indians of America with the sword in
one hand and the Bible in the other.
How much better are we now when we
want to Christianize the Filipinos with
the Declaration of Independence in one
hand and six shooter in the other? Are
we any better off than Spain was when
Cortes overran Mexico? No. we are in
the same position exactly in the same
position that England is in when she
wants to Christianize and civilize the
Beers in South Africa with her lancers,
who killed them like pigs at Elangsgatte.
Nov, you need not say that Bryan is
less patriotic than Mckinley; he is not;
he showed his patriotism when the
war broke out; he volunteered his
services to Mckinley and Mckinley

was not the big, broad minded man that
ought to occupy the position that he
does when he refused to accept the ser
vices of his competitor in the defense of
his flag.
he is too narrow minded to be presi-
dent, but that is the kind of a man we
have got; he ignores man who received
six million five hundred thousand votes,
and he only got six hundred thousand
more himself; but he ignored him, say,
and it only remained for the governor of
Nebraska to say to Mr.. Bryan, L will ac-
cept your services He was a royal gov
ernor and is now chief Justice; the peo-
pie of that state know what a citizen
Bryan is,and what a citizen Gov. Holcomb
is and have honored him for it. ZAP

During next the month we may dis
cuss with our friends the issues of this
campaign, but today we are discussing
with our democratic friends who believe
that MIR. Clark is the purest man in
Montana and that, though convicted by
our supreme court of bribery, and though
convicted by nine men of the United
States senate, as splendid committee
as was ever organized; Mr.. Turley, as
grand and brilliant man as we have
known for long time; Mr.. Pettus OF
Alabama; Judge McComas of Maryland;
hoar Of Massachusetts; Chandler, and
they say that Chandler is in the employ
OF the Amalgamated Copper company
and while l am here will refer you to
this talk. They tell you that I have got
"a copper collar on, and these Clark
shouters tell you that Bob Smith wears
a copper collar. Now, I will tell you
what the conditions are:
"ln January and February of 1899
there was a legislature in the city OF
Helena, state of Montana, and there was
a house bill, 132, and house bill 124
house bill 132 was the bill which organ
lied, created and brought into existence
the eAmalgamatedC Copper company of this
state. Did you ever think of that!
House bill 124 was passed for the pur-
pose of giving it power in the courts
unusual power, too. When these bills
were before the legislature they came tc
me and wanted to know what would
do with them when they came to me fol
my signature. said: gentlemen, shall
veto those bills with all the power that
can bring to bear upon them why
will you veto them? Because l was
elected upon platform that condemned
trusts and corporations Of this kind; be-
cause the constitution of our state con
demns it, and it is unconstitutional and
against the policy of the party by which
l was elected, and, therefore, will veto
it because it is destructive of the inter
ests of the people of this state; it is de
structive of the just compensation and
competition that the people have right
to expect
when that measure came to me

uage as l could write pointing out
the injuries to the state, to the people
it's unconstitutionality that it was op

which was elected. did that. What
does this man Clark do-that is trying
to buy the state of Montana-let some OF
his heelers answer. He wrote letters and
sent kilograms to the members. of the
legislature that had recently voted fol
him for United States senator asking
them and imploring them to pass these
measures over my veto, and I saw the
letters and l know what am talking
about. Nong and continued applause
