perform 1t, and we are proud of our
office. 1t is our good fortune when the
harvest days are over to meet the

meet the sturdy citizen who tolls in the
hills with pick and drill, and who con-

Let me say to you. that when the Re-
publican party heeds the voice of the
people. when 1t is in close touch with

the Hon. George C. Pardee. Dare
a man who saws he is a Californian and
loves California say that George G.
Pardee has fiinched at any time to per-
form a duty when called u-on? No,
never.
desire to say to you. men of San
