moral wave of awakening in American
life.
TN Missouri the young intellectual
giant Folk has sent half of the grafters
to the penitentiary, and the other half
Is half scared to death.
La Toilette in Wisconsin, Deneen in
Illinois, Douglas in Massachusetts, and
Chamberlain in Oregon are raising the
standard of citizenship in serving notice
upon the hirelings and vampires that
infest political conventions that the
days of graftitis and corporatitis are
numbered and are at an end.
Subjugated by S. p.
"And now California has been aroused
at the brazen, defiant disregard of all
political virtue and decency by. the
Southern Pacific railways control,
domination and subjugation of great
party that was honored by Lincoln and
Blaine and Garfield and Mckinley and
Roosevelt, into a private machine, to
corrupt the Legislative, executive and
judicial sovereignty, in order that it
may filch from the people without fear
ing the punishment that is meted out
to more ordinary thieves and plum
derers.
"Now, let me show you another pic
ture, published in the Los Angeles
Herald. I hold in my hand a photo
graph of banquet of the ringleaders
of the Santa Cruz convention, held at
the home Of the ex-chairman Of the
Republican state central committee the
night before the Santa Cruz conven-
ton.
1.-The lens in that photograph ma
chine did not lie. The Southern Pacific
Railway company's candidate is shown
here, standing beside the guest Of
honor, Abe Ruef, the most illustrious
and unscrupulous icorrupter of civic
virtue and the most defiant lawbreaker
on this coast To his right is Judge
Mckinley of Los Angeles, who was
chairman of the Santa Cruz convention
and is the Southern Pacific railways S
attorney in Southern California. To
the left of Mr.. Gillett is Walter Parked
the Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany's representative in Southern Cali
fcrnia and the man who has debauched
every convention held in this state in
the last ten years. And this Is not all.
The picture shows George Hatton. the
states most celebrated railroad lobby
list; Warren Porter, the Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor;
Rudolph Herold, state harbor commits
sioner and, If you please, Judge Kerri-
gan and Justice r. w. Henshaw, NOM
inees for the supreme court.
Caught with the Goods
Here, my friends, is a proof positive,
undeniable of the charge that Mr.. Har-
r1man In Washington nominated Mr..
Gillett for governor Of the state of Cali
fornia. Mr.. Gillett has been caught
with the goods on him. No burglar
ever captured with the plunder from
the home; no road agent with the time
piece and money Of his victim on his
person; no assassin with the cleaning
knife in his hand, dripping with the
blood of his victim; no road agent with
the gun at the head Of the peaceful citi-
zen with his arms uplifted to an AL
mighty God for protection, was ever
caught more redhanded than In this
band of conspirators shown in this pic
ture to subYert the government Of this
state to the Vaccinations OF private
and personal infamy for their benefit as
the agents of the Southern Pacific rail-
way.
"Can there be any doubt about it?
The Times, and all the Republican
newspapers OF last February announced
that Mr.. Gillett had been toasted by
Mr.. Hartman in Washington as the
next governor of California. Mr.. Her
rim, the Southern Pacific representative
in this state, furthered his nomination.
and Parker secured his selection at the
convention. Here you find him sur
