may have a voice and representation
in the Presidents official household,
the answer is large army; and IL the
laboring man complains, he is told that
he has a full dinner pail, and that no
laboring man is entitled to more than
that. submit that the Republican
party is fighting its campaign on the
lowest level that any party ever at
tempted to fight campaign. 1t comes
to the laboring man and says, "as long
as your stomach is full your head
ought to be empty" that "just as long
as you have enough to eat, you ought
not to think" Why, my friends, it is
the animal in man that squeals when
1t is hungry and goes to sleep when
it is fed. A laboring man has head
and a heart as well as stomach;
and 1 will not be satisfied until the
politices of the nation are such as to
provide for head and heart as we'll as
stomach. prolonged cheers)
They tell the laboring man that he is
prosperous. I want to ask you, is the
laboring man prosperous when he must
send his son and his daughters out to
work to help support the family when
they ought to be in school? The La
Dor organizations have made fight
against the employment of child labor,
and when 60 into factory and find
children employed there before their
bodies are mature, and before their
minds are developed, know that no
father or mother would, as a matter of
choice, take child out of school at
that age. You need not say that con.
ditions are prosperous with the labor
ing man until the head of family
Is able to make enough in reasonable
hours to support his wife and his ckil-
dren, until his children have finished
their school. (Cheers.)
The Republicans come to the farmer
and tell him that he is prosperous.
They say, ''look at your bountiful
crops!" We'll, does the Republican par
ty give. the rain?. Does the Republican
party hold the showers in it's hands
and send plentiful rains when men
vote the Republican ticket, and hot
winds when they vote the Democratic
ticket? Why, If you stop to think, for
a moment you would realize that the
Republican party doesn't control the
rainfall, for If it did, there would be
monopoly on water, and you would
have to buy every shower at high
price, (Cheers) Il
The Republican party has no plan
that brings prosperity, permanent,
general, and lasting to. the great ma
jority of the people. Why, the Repub-
llcan party goes to the soldier and sug-
gests to him that the only thing he is
interested in is his pension, and that
he must stay in the Republican party
or he will lose his pension There is
no party in this country that .cannot
be trusted to deal generously with the
soldier, with the veteran; and / want
to tell any Republican who expresses /,
fear about the soldiers fate, that If
am elected will not have to hunt long
or search far to find commissioner
of pensions as satisfactory to the SOL
diers as the present commissioner OF
pensions. (Cheers) Republicans for.
get that the soldier is patriot as well
as a pensioner. The Republicans for
get that the soldier offered his life to
keep this one Republic from being di-
vided into two Republics; and will he
not give his vote now to keep this one
republic that he helped to save from,
being converted into> an empire with
the light of liberty destroyed? (Cheers.)
My friends, the Republican party in
stead of defending its demand for
large army makes special appeal to
every class that 1t thinks can be reach.

that the German has had experience
in other lands. The Republican knows
