Governor Dole, but his hands We're tied
with an irresponsible Home Rule leg
islature and irresponsible appointees
had been forced upon him. Did the
Republicans want that same thing
forced upon Governor Carter?
Mr.. Kinney makes Geo. Carter an
issue in this campaign" he continued,
land l for one. We're I possessed of
sufficient oratorical ability would ac-
cept that issue with pleasure. In TAX
ing up this matter we must consider the
legacy to which Geo Carter fell heir
when appointed to the office of Gov
ernor. Peculation and embezzlement
were rampant in the Territorial service,
largely by reason of the executive hav-
ing been tied by an incompetent Leg
islature, who does not remember when
some of the Government offices We're
guarded by policemen in the interest of
decency and good government?
I'VE must not forget that Geo. Car
ter, against the advice of his intimate
friends, called the special session and
by cutting right and left finally placed
the administration on business basis,
where, to use n Democratic phrase we
can tel WHERE we are at.
Not many months ago government
warrants were absolutely refused by all
of the banks of this city, then they
were discounted at about 3 per cent,
later at per cent and now at l per
cent. Can you imagine what our posi-
ton would have degenerated into had
ii not been for the courageous action of
Geo Carter in theoretically facing the
situation as he did? / confess that I
cannot, but no one will deny that the
Territory would have been perilously
close to bankruptcy.
IT think you will all admit that Geo.
Carter is honest and is trying to do
the right as he sees II, and | think you
will also admit that greater honor and
credit will come to him If the fortunes
of the country are retrieved under his
administration than in any other way.
but, Geo. Carter cannot carry on
the affairs of the country satisfactorily,
If we tie his hands by electlng a fac
tious or incompetent Legislature"
OTHER SPEAKERS.
A gentleman from the Consolidated
Soda Water Company stated that he
had attended meeting of Home Rulers
where Charles Motley spoke. Motley
told the natives 10 vote the straight
Home Rule ticket ana 10 take all the
money the Republicans and Democrats
offered them. If the Republicans now
cut the ticket for personal reasons II
would throw the election 10 the Home
Rulers. The speaker stated he would
vote The Republican ticket straight,
and even II he lived IN the Flfth Dis
trlct would vote Il straight d.augh-
ten.
