badly Handicapped because of severe
cold which he had contra tied while
speaking at open air meetings during
the last week. However, for almost
half hour, he poured hot shot after
hot shot into the ranks of the Re-
publicans. In his opening remarks
he referred to a declaration which
had been made by prominent speak
er of Marion, q Republican, at Ur-
bana a few days ago, when he said
that the Republican party had done
more for civilization than Christian
ity had accomplished in the last FIVE
hundred years. Mr.. Hogan took
exceptions to this declaration, claim
ing that the teachings of the Gentle
Master had done more for mankinl
than all of the political parties COM
binad. Mr.. Hogan then referred
to Governor Harris and his brief
record as a temperance man. He
pointed out the fact that two years
ago when the governors home coun-
ty voted on the temperance question,
under the Beale law, Governor Har-
ris did not go home to vote Governor
Harris said that he was told that It
was not necessary for him to go
home to vote. "But," declared the
speaker notwithstanding Governor
Harris declaration that he with the
whole state and national ticket will
be elected on next Tuesday, | will
venture that he goes home to cast his
ballot just the same"
Mr.. Hogan declared in closing that
1t was one of the highest duties of
a lawyer to serve the people faith
fully and honestly and that upon
no official of the state did this duty
rest more heavily than upon the at
torney general. He declared that if
he was elected to that office no boss
should lead him about by the nose
and no official would be allowed to
deposit money in his own banks,
which had been organized for the ex-
press purpose of being a depository
for the states funds.
Hon. Atlee Pomerine who was the
most formidable candidate against
Hon. Judson Harmon, for the nom
ination for governor at the last Dem
ocratic state convention, was then
introduced by Mr.. CUTLERY. For
more than an hour he held the clos
est attention of the immense audi
ence, while he discussed some of the
issues in the national campaign.
He first took up the discussion of
the anti-injunction plank, comparing
the principles of that plank with the
acts of President Roosevelt. He
stated very plainly that the anti-in-
junction plank in the Democrats
platform meant simply that when a
working man was accused of having
violated an injunction of the court,
not in the presence OF the court that
he should be given the right of trial
by jury, II he denied the offense.
Mr.. Pomorene referred to President
Rooseveit's attitude in the instance of
three Colorado miners who were ac-
cused of murder. While these three
men were lying in jail awaiting the
time for the trial which they were
to be given by jury, President
Roosevelt gave out a statement in
which he declared that these men
should be executed without a trial.
In this connection, reference was
made to the Brownsville affair, when
the negro soldiers were dishonorably
discharged from the army without
being given a trial by either court
martial or jury. While he meddled
in these cases, declaring that these
men were not entitled to a trial, he
shielded Paul Morton, who was then
in the presidents cabinet from being
brought to trial for having given re-
bates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, when Judson Harmon ana
Mr.. Judson pleaded with him for a
chance to bring criminal action
against the Officers of the Santa Fe
railroad, Paul Morton then being a
vice president of the railroad. "Pres-
ident Roosevelt is ready to condemn
the miners and the negro soldiers
without a trial, and at the same time
he, shields a man who holds high
rank from the punishment which he
deserves. And Judge Taft says he
will follow in Teddy's footsteps" de-
plared Mr. Pomerene.
In most able and convincing
manner, Mr.. Pomerene took up the
guarantee deposit plank of the Dem
ocratic platform, showing how that
the government, the state, the coun
ty, the city, the township, and the
board of education demanded secur-
ity from the banks when they de-
posted their money with them.
"Why should not the depositor de.
mand that he too be given some Sc
curity. Every banker carries burg
larry insurance and advertises the fact
that he protects his depositors by this
Insurance, If 1t is good thing to
