as Historian of RepubIicanism-..Davis Backs
UP Governor Carter.

vail The Republican party has never
tried to evade an issue True to ita
tenets it takes up the issue that the
Democrats are making OF unfair
charges. They are. dealing in false
hood and invective.
The charge against the chief execu-
tive of this Territory is that he is
breaking the laws and the constitutions
He is charged with usurpation OF
power. but their charge is not one Of
dishonesty or fnefffciency or incapacity.
(Applause.) In all their attacks on the
Republican standard bearer of this Ter
ritory there is not one word of ineffi-
cheney. What they say is, Governor
Garter, you are doing first rate, and the
departments have never been better
run. but you must accomplish these
things the way we want you to 40

when Kinney fixes up an issue he
should have given you something OF
more modern origin. Breaking the con-
stitution has been the siren song with
which the Democrats have tried to lure
voters for a century. 1t is not kim
ney's idea. The idea was in vogue be-
fore he was born. The same charges
were made against Washington, and by
that patron saint of Democracy, Thos-
Jefferson, through his miserable crea~

Lincoln, the Democrats of both the
North and South said the same thing.
And today, the Democratic newspapers
and orators talk about usurpation OF
power by Roosevelt. It has been the
same old Democratic campaign, the
same old idea of obstruction to
progress. What has been the result
through all these years? Washington
went to his grave, honored of men,

nation. Abraham Lincoln shall live al
ways in the hearts of a loving and
grateful people. (Applause)
Notwithstanding the cry in the
