railroad boss at my back. 1t will pay
the people of California to examine into
the conventions and see how the Golden
State of California has been disgraced
by the infamous work of a desperate
political gang. I expect to get the
thoughtful Republican vote of this
State. as we'll as the votes of the men
who labor with their hands for daily
wage.
FAITH IN THE PEOPLE.
Il have an abiding faith in the con-
science of the people Of my native State
and l know that conscience will be
touched before the polls close on the
9Th Of November. I am fully conver-
SAINT with the history of the Republican
party in this State My ancestors were
a part of it, Conceived in purity it stood
for what the Stars and Stripes stand
for, but I ask you if that party in its
convention at Santa Cruz, bossed by
William F. Herrin, stood for that purity
of which the American flag is an en-
blem. There was neither free thought
nor free speech there. 1 ask you Re-
publicans, is it not your duty to repu-
diate that convention at Santa Cruz?
Il am told that third convention.
sort of convention, was held at Ala
media. I don't want to say much of the
Independence League, but it never has

servile creature of traitor who has
been driven from the ranks of the DEM
ocratic party, and his name is Hearst.
With the intention of destroying the
Democratic party, William Randolph
Hearst created the independence
League to use it as his tool in thwart-
ing William Jennings Bryan. Don't
you think that the Sacramento conven-
tion was justified with proof of this
mans treachery before it in driving him
from the Democratic party?"
ROOSEVELT MAY OBJECT.
The Republicans are picturing
Roosevelt as anxious for the election
of Gillett and they are deprecating
Parde, the man they outraged at the
Santa Cruz convention, because he con-
tinues to fish at Lake Tahoe while
George A. knight is calling on him to
help elect Gillett. But 1 want to warn
the Republican press and orators not
to use the name of Roosevelt too
carelessly. for President Roosevelt
might become conversant with the sit
uation here in California and send out
his whole Cabinet to help elect the
Democratic ticket in this State.

Cruz held a representative gathering2

No. %. What did they do with the
judiciary?
Every judicial nomination was put
on the block and auctioned off to the
highest bidder. There was only one
man who broke that slate, and that
man was Judge E. C. Hart of Sacra-

basis which the people of this State
cannot countenance.
YOUNG MEN HANDICAPPED.
Under such men as these there is no
opportunity for the young men. of our
State who have honorable ambiNon for
advancement and public honor. First
they must dishonor themselves at the
feet of this railroad boss. 1t has been
true. likewise with the young Demo-
Gratis They had either to dishonor
themselves by making themselves the
slaves of Hearst or give up their am
bition I call upon the young men of
both parties to stand with me and de-
feat these two men, Herrin and Hearst
They say I am young, but am free
to go out and say what I please about
every man, and that is what is keep
ing me young And if I am elected
Governor of California l will be the
first Governor that ever held the Office
owing allegiance to no boss. They say
that 1 am too radical. but I tell you
that I am as conservative as any man
in this State.
Il know what personal and property
rights are, but if the slightest trace
of graft is brought to my notice, should
1 be elected, I will become just as rad
ical as Joe Folk of Missouri, or as
radical as President Roosevelt. and that
is the kind of radicalism the State
needs. I ask you men-Republicans
