"The local Democratic party has
wiped out all national Issues and has
said that local issues only should pre-
vail. The Republican party has never
tried to evade an issue. True to its
tenets 1t 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 constitution.
He is charged with usurpation of
power. but their charge is not one Of
dishonesty or inefficiency 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

when Kinney fixes up an issue he
should have given you something of

which the Democrats have tried to lure
voters for a century. 1t is not Kin

I'm Lincoln's time the Democrats Sc

! breaking the constitution and usurping

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. 1t 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.
Clay and Adams held high places in the
nation. Abraham Lincoln shall live al
ways in the hearts of a loving and
grateful people. (Applause)
Notwithstanding the cry in the
states of usurpation of power even
Roosevelt's election is conceded by
Kinney himself. The country is stead
lily advancing in progress, and in the
face of the croakings of a dismal
Democracy. there is no place today
where humap liberty is better safe
guarded than in these selfsame United
States.
1.-THE specific charge made Is that
Governor Carter usurped power by the
use of undated designations. The an
swer is substantially that the Cover
nor who is responsible to the President
of the United States for the conduct of
affairs here desires to have men in Of
flee in whom he can trust to carry out
his policy. When the Governor does
not think a certain department Is being
run economically or efficiently 1t is cer-
tainly his desire that that man he has
appointed shall no longer control 1t. BY
what reason the Democrats claim that
is an interference with the law ! don't
know.
