them we'll 1t is great thing TO have
such party"
Mr.. Fairbanks showed how the
wonderful prosperity of this country
had resulted from the present tariff
law and stated that the Democrats
if they secured control of the Nation
al House of Representative this year
would attack the tariff law and so
riddle it that the country would once
more experience the four terrible
years of Cleveland's second admin
istration Whats to become OF the
tariff law" asked Mr.. Fairbanks. 1t
is congress that will decide its fate.
What will Indiana do? If you be-
lieve in the prpesent conditions OF
affairs and a protective tariff, express
your opinion next Tuesday by vote
for James E. Watson.
Fairbanks Praises Watson.
mfr. Watson stands for the best in
politics; for protective tariff and he
is one of the trusted advisers of Pres
ident Roosevelt. Every man, woman
and child in the sixth district should
be proud of such a representative.
If you are satisfied with President
Roosevelt's administration it will
strengthen his hands if you will ex-
press that confidence when election
day comes. He is one of the great
est of leaders and he has accomplish
ed great work but his work is no4
yet completed. No President can
accomplish much unless he knows
that he has behind him the sympa-
thetic support of the people. If the
American people are loyal to Mr..
Roosevelt let them vote as | have
indicated. Governor Hanlys admin
istration has been one of great eff
cheney and of much credit to him.
He has accomplished much and will
accomplish much more. Many deep
questions have confronted the Cover
nor and he has met them In an able,
high-minded manner. We should
show our appreciation of him by
sending men to the legislature this
year who will support his policies. :"
Griffiths Warmly Welcomed.
Following Mr.. Fairbanks, County
Chairman Gardner introduced Mr..
Griffiths who was given a warm re-
ception. Mr.. Griffiths stated that he
was always pleased to be in Wayne
county in the state where the stand
here. He stated that there was no
county in the state where he stand
ard of culture and intelligence was
higher than in old Wayne, the county
which gave to the state it's greatest
governor; the county which was
among the first to respond in times
of national peril, her young men go
ing forth to the call to arms with the
dawn in their faces and a high re-
solve in their hearts. Mr.. Griffiths
told of The unprecedented prosperity
In the country and asked if the Demo
cratic party could advance this ar
gument for a change from a protec-
tive tariff to free trade and ruin. He
stated that he only knew of one per-
son in the State of Indiana who had
a complaint to make. This man was
a farmer in the Northern part of the
State who kicked to Congressman
Lands that he was getting too much
prosperity. Charlie" said the farm
er I've got so much crops that l
can't get enough men to harvest
them, so when you go back to Wash
ington see If you can ease up little
on this prosperity. There is such a
thing as too much of a good thing"
Mr. Grifiths stated that he thought
tariff schedules should be changed
from time to time as the occasion
demanded but that the changes
should be made by the friends and
not the foes of the protective tariff
.'Nn mr. fra rf.ip
certain evil'' he admonished.
A Joke on Fairbanks.
Mr.. Griffths stated that he thought
the farmers of the country should
vote the Republican ticket this year
for one reason if for no other, be-
cause under Republican administra-
ton the rural free delivery service
had been established despite the OPP
position of the Democratic party.
Farmers get such prompt mail SER
vice now days that the village post
master no longer has an opportunity
of reading all the postal cards." At
this juncture Mr.. Fairbanks left the
stage to take a much needed rest.
There goes part of the government
remarked Mr.. Griffihs and the crowd
laughed.
Mr. Griffiths took fall out of the
Democratic "boogey-man" tales about
trust having originated and f1ourished
under protective tariff by stating
that trusts would flourish as much
under free trade as under protective
tariff. England is a free trade coun-
try but last year there were more
trusts formed in that country than in
the United States. He favored the
regulation of trusts by the govern
ment but stated that they could not
be put out of business, classifying
them as necessary evils
Roosevelt's Opinion of Watson.
Mr.. Griffiths stated that all the Re
publican delegation to Congress from
Indiana should be returned as they
had proven themselves as exception
ally competent representatives. 1T
will be long time before the Sixth
district can get man who would be
able to take the place of James e.
Watson" stated Mr. Grifiths. 1T
means much to a district to have its
representative singled out by the
