Il am now back again in my own state.
and come to appeal to you, whose repre-
sentative at Albany in the executive cham
Der l have been for two years to ask you
to stand by the cause of civic honesty, of
civic decency, of national prosperity and
national honor.
You have been asked by our opponents
at different times what were the paramount
issues in this campaign. l can tell you.
The paramount issue for the whole nation Is
once for all to stamp underfOOt Organism,
and with 1t in this state goes the only less
important issue of stamping underfoot
Crokerism.
What Organism Means.
"Bryanism means somewhat different
things in different places but fundamental.
ly it means an appeal to the lowest pas
sions, to those qualities that in the last
analysis are most dangerous to the welfare
of the people, whether it is Pettigrewisna
in South Dakota, Altgeidism, smelling of
anarchy and bomb throwing, in Illinois;
Goebelism, which means fraud of the bal
lot. in Kentucky, or CroKarism, with all
that it calls up of the reign of Tammany
Hall in New York, of blackmaied vice and
people fattening on iniquities of great
city, and ask you to save the nation from
all material woe and the shame and dis
grace, to save the state from being dragged
down to the level to which Tammany Hall
has dragged the city of New York. l ask
you to compare the nation as it now stands
with what MIR. Bryan prophesied four years
ago, and to compare the government of
New York city. and then make up your
minds II you willing to desert the state
and turn it over to the rule of Tammany
Hail.
