We want in this day Of grscs &c reoog-
nize the fact that American citizenship is
a bigger thing than membership in any
party tremendous a~pplausel; that the
honor of the State Is a more important
thing than a mere party victory: that the
the right way and appeal to truth and
judgment in our efforts to right wrong
is a more important thing than whether
a given nan shall be inscribed upon an
administration banner tApplause.l
We have in this country but one security
and you may think that the Constitution
is your security. IL il nothing but a bit
of paper. You may think that the statutes
are your security. They are nothing but
words in a book. You may think that
cAdDOA u hCCLLdlll5Il u BONOlLhlCAb Is
your security. 1t is nothing at all, unless
you ave sound and incorrupt public opinion

vitality TO your statutes, TO make efficient
your governmental machinery. Great APP

Democrats are supporting my candidacy.
| am particularly glad in this community
TO recognize the fact that there arc those
loyal TO Democratic principles who refuse

many of the Democrats is reflected in a let
ter which Ellis P. Long, a member OF the
county committee, sent to Mr.. Hearst. The
Independence League had written to him
asking for his support as a Democrat anc

sheet of paper With a picture at the top Of
a yellow kid holding his arms up ~appealinglJ
to a baking donkey. Under the picture
was this curt reply:
In answer 70 your letter OF October Il
