in all the Union.
There is another way American Ia
Dor is threatened in this country, espe-
cially in this western part of it. be-
lieve in the exclusion of Monaghan la
Dor from it. And I want to say right
here that 1 have always carried out
this doctrine in my own business and
always will. AS long as there is a white
man for the work do not think him a
true American who would employ a
Chinaman to do that work. But even
more; by destroying protection of
American industries we would be doing
just that very thing. 1t is just as
wrong TO employ Cinnamon in China to
do the work which Americans should
be doing in America as it would be to
bring the Cinnamon here to do it.
What kind of a man is he who would
turn aside fellow American who says,
I must have 81 80 or 81 a day to sup
port my family, simply because Chi
naman offered to do the same work for
20 or so cents? And 1 can assure you
that / would never come before an as
sembly Of American workers and ask
them for their suffrages If had ever
to look an honest American working
man in the face.
RECORD WILL BE CLEAN.
Just one word more as to my own
position here tonight. BY this time
I suppose you have discovered that I
am a Republican, and if I am elected
on the Sth of next November I shall
stand by and help to carry out the
national policies of the Republican
party. At the same time 1 want you
TO remember that was nominated not
at my own solicitation, and that I
will go to Congress if the people of
this district elect me with pledges to
nobody except to do my duty by my
constituents, Republicans, Democrats
or Union Labor. If 1 go there, my
friends, 1 shall strive to so conduct
myself that I can have the approval
of my own conscience and of the
whole people 1 represent. Further,
promise that my record will be as
clean and as straightforward as I can
make it. L thank you for your at
tention."
At the conclusion Of Mr. Hayes
speech Colonel Puppy said: There,
didn't tell you he was all right?"
You bet he's all right" came from
several parts Of the house. Continu-
ing, Mr.. Puppy said:
NEEDED NO INTRODUCTION.
They have made out a programme
for me, but there is one part 1 am go
ing to omit. 1 do not believe that Jul
Jus Kahn needs an introduction to a
San Francisco audience"
Mr.. Kahn accepted the novel presen-
tation Of his name to the audience and
Immediately took his place at the
speakers stand. A great cheer went
up and it was several minutes before
the Republican candidate for Congress
could proceed with his address. When
quiet was restored he said in part:
1t is my intention this evening To
endeavor to give you few reasons
why the people Of the State of Cali
fornia should continue to stand loyal
TO the principles advocated by the Re
publican party, and in doing so if is
my firm determination not to descend
TO vituperation and personal attacks.

always deprecated and condemned.
such tactics, and L desire at this time
to beg my friends not to tolerate that
kind of politics.
REPRESENTS PRINCIPLES.
For the time being a candidate sim
ply represents the principles of his
party. The man, in the course of years.
dies and passes on. The principles of
his party, however, still live and con-
tinue to live until new conditions arise
that create new principles.
1 have always contended that in a
political campaign a candidate can af-
ford to be perfectly fair and honest and
sincere. Men differ as to politics-that
is only natural. And yet we should be
broadgauged enough to respect the
views Of our political opponents. even
though we may not believe in those
views
In the present campaign, among the
leading issues raised by the other side
are the personal characteristics of orr
standard bearer, Theodore Roosevelt.
We are told, in the first place, that he
overrides that great palladium of orr
liberties, the constitution of the United
States How the Democratic orators

(and, by the grace of the people of the
United States, the President-to-be for

Of next March) with usurping powers

not only misrepresent the facts, but
they show woeful lack Of knowledge
Of the history of the administration Of
the father of the Democratic party
Thomas Jefferson. For, If the annals
of our country have been writ true, it
is there that when Jefferson, through
his Commissioners to France, accom-

Territory, he openly and publicly adj

the constitution for his action in con-
