me people hau said should be done. 1t Is
Lot tAe Judgment VI Few people that
ls wanted, but OF all the people that Ii
wanted. That was clearly demonstrated.
Al the election of q Republican Legisia-
cure the majority OF which is Union
Republican, the people decided two
ehlAgs-the unity OF the Republican
party and the election OF two Republl-
San Senators, OF whom j. Edward Ad-
dicks should be one. The people de-
eIded that matter not only once but in
every campaign since 1892. Mr.. Ad-
Iicks was the majority candidate i'll
lSSi. Men who were elected to vote for
ann were driven away from him by
abuse and threats. Nearly all OF them
nave since acknowledged that and re-
greet it as they have never regretted any
thing else.
The men who are now in the Legis-
iature were elected upon the common
primary election agreement which was
simply that the majority should rule.
Inc majority should rule. The majority
vote should elect the candidates, and the
majority sentiment of the Legislative
delegation should control it in selecting
and voting for Senators. Any state
ment to the contrary OF that is untrue.
The men whom the Republicans voted
for were voted for and elected as repre-
sentatiyes Of the whole party. There
was uo factionalism in the voting. Their
obligation is TO the whole party, and
their support should be given to the
party's candidate.
That is the only way to carry out
the agreement by which the voters
on one ticket and elected it. This is
what these men ought to be made to
feel and acknowledge. They are your
representatives. They were elected By
your votes and are under obligation 10
do what you intended they should do
when you voted for them-write q letter.
\ thousand letters will do more good
than hundred names on a petition"
Mr.. Roberts remarks received marked
/ attention and liberal applause.
