change in this respect. L can recall
General Barnes, Sam Shortridge and
George A. Knight.
IF it is true that President Roose-
welt should be reelected, why should
any Republican cast away his ballot
and tie the hands of the President?
Ten years ago l was first elected. In
the silver flood was defeated. My OPP
ponent went around and begged the
votes of Republicans. The great fruit
industries hired me at $500 a month to
stay in Washington and help frame
the Dingley bill. They could not trust
their representative, who could do no
less than be true to his own party.
Every industry in California was
promptly paralyzed by the free trade
ideas of Mr.. Cleveland. l remember as
1 travelled through this country find
ing the storehouses bursting with crops
that could not be sold.
BILL is INTRODUCED.
THE Dingley bill was introduced. 1t
was a common thing at that time for
a grower to receive a bill for the
freight on his shipments-aIl the value
he received. 1 have seen fruit from
Italy discharged at Eastern ports by
the thousands of boxes. The California
orchardist had no chance competing
against cheap labor.
When the Dingley bill was reported
by a Republican committee it raised
the duties on fruits over the Wilson
German bill from so per cent to so
per cent. l followed that bill to the
threshold of the door of the House of
Representatives. Barlow. who succeed
ed me, told me at the door that this
far you may go, but no farther, and
had to acknowledge the fact.
When that bill came up for final
passage the Minister of France and
the Minister of Italy went from house
to house begging the members of the
Ways and Means Committee to report
unfavorably as its passage meant the
ruin of French and Italian vineyards.
And when Barlow's name was called
in the final vote he voted in favor of
the French and Italian vineyardists
The blush of shame came to my face
as he recorded his vote against the
interests of California and against the
interests of it's greatest industry.
1.-The same condition will soon prevail
again The revision of schedules in the
Dingley bill must be made and who is
to make the changes?
II ask for a single reason why any
Republican should support a Democrat
under such circumstances.
Your rivers need improving: the Re
publicans have the organization The
majority in each committee is Repub-
lican. Do you suppose that a member
OF the minority can obtain the same re-
suits? l urge every citizen to cast his
vote for the man who represents the
dominant party which must provide
for the improvements that are required
and demanded by this section"
