right" Good boy, Hearstl' and yells Of
II zee how Mr.. Root, the corporation
lawyer and employee of Thomas +. Ryan,
can indorse George r. Mcclellan, the poll
ical puppet of Mr.. Ryan and errand boy
of the trusts hat Mr.. Root serves, but
can Mr.. Root indorse the theft of the election
in New York city and the crime by which
the rights OF citizens were outraged and
the liberties OF citizens everywhere
threatened.
"Mr. Root objects to my opposing Senator
Knox. l have no personal hostility for
this man Knox, and 10 not think that l
have ever met him or seen him, but do
nov that when l sent him documentary
evidence hat absolutely convicted the coal
roads Of criminal combination and Of crush
ing out independent coal mine owners, he
pocketed that evidence and refused to act
for two years, although his United States
District Attorney Burnett had reported
to him that this evidence sus-
trust and warranted their prosecution,
although he recommended to knox that
the Government institute proceedings
against these Dad in the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. l was finally compelled
to proceed outside Of the Attorney Generals
Office and brought my evidence before
the Interstate Commerce Commission, and
because OF the interminable delay and
inadequate powers Of the Interstate Com
mission / introduced the railroad rate
bill in Congress, which the Republican
party takes the credit for.
Il positively assert that the Republican
party stole the greater part OF my bill n
that they would nave had a better bill IL
they had stolen all of it. Laughter and
applause.l That il my answer also to Mr.
Roots criticism Of my course in Congress.
MIR. Root objects to my criticism OF
Thomas Taggart and goes over from the
corporation side Of the Republican party
to defend the national chairman OF the
corporation wing of the Democratic party.
/ have no personal feeling against Mr..
Taggart. l ave opposed him because
he conducts a gambling resort where
women AM child rem were allowed to play.
This gambling house has been closed up
by tie Republican Governor Of Indiana.
Il have opposed Taggart because he is
a corrupt politician and represents Bel
mont and tie corporations on the Demo-
cratic CDmmittec. | ave opposed him
because he stands in opposition 70 honest
Democrats and honest American citizens
everywhere. Can Mr.. Root defend him as
the Keeper Of a gambling dive, where women
and children are taught to play, a resort
which the clergymen OF all denominations
have denounced and an honest Republican
Governor has closed DOWN. -
Il nave opposed Parker, Williams, Wood
rnf, Town, Cannon and others only when
they have opposed the people, and | a always
will oppose them when they oppose the
people. Applause. l do not conduct
my campaign or my newspapers according
10 my personal prejudices, but for the
interests of honest citizens.
Il have praised public men when they
were acting in the interests of the people,
and enounce them when they we're acting
against the interests Of the people, and l
will continue TO do so as long as l have "a
voice TO speak with or a pen 10 write with,
- ~ pNfnl 20 Nhi MI with iChnAT0 and
applause ,
FINALLY, l say that the same recognized
and unwritten rule that makes the President
of the United States the President of all the
people and not of any faction or section,
should apply to the officers OF his Admins
tration, andthat when lihu Root, Secretary
of State Of the United States, drags his high
Federal Office into a State election and into
a personal and partisan attack he degrades
his Office To- his own level"
