Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-29


Democratic national and state tickets.
/ am not so partisan, however, that
would support the party whether r1gnt
or wrong, but permit me to say that
support the national ticket in this cam
paign because in my judgment our
presidential candidate who honors us
with his presence here tonight, is abso-
lutely right upon every contested ques-
ton in this campaign.
ut is time for change in the ADMIN
istration of the government, change OF
measures and of men.
Owes All to People
"Our candidates owes the nomination
not to any one man, or any set OF men,
but only to the people themselves. III
elected he will be president himself and
not dummy for any man. He viii not
be led around with a string like great
big Gagged bear"
Former Senator Hill, referring to the
Republican charge that panic would
follow Mr. Bryan's election, declared II
would not be busine-s panic, but it
will be panic on the part of the nun
dreds of thousands of federal onice-
holders and public officials who VIII
have to surrender their places 10 tne
victorious party"
He concluded his encomlum or MI
Bryan by saying:
"Our candidate is your friend. He is
my friend. He is the friend or the
laborer and the people. He has been
the courageous, sincere and constant
friend of labor ever since he has been
in public life He is as incorruptible as
he is brave and he can neither be pur-
chased nor intimidated."
Gets Grand Ovation
The Democratic candidate received a
grand ovation when he arose to speak.
g. oh md
large audience reluctantly obeyed his
gesture after many minutes to become
quiet.
He expressed his appreciation of the
cordial welcome he had received ''in
the capital city of our nations greatest
state" and replied to Mr.. Hill by
saying:
GUS words emplo-ed by Senator Hill in
presenting me to you. One OF the
pleasures in this campaign is the unity
that manifests itself in the Democratic
party"
II believe" he continued, "that we
are going to win great victory. and.
NV friends, L am glad that Senator
HILL the hero of so many battles, is
fighting by my side, prepared to share
with me the joys of u Democratic
triumph.
Not a Sectional Victory
"This victory would be incomplete IL
it were sectional victory"
MIR. Bryan said he would present
"some evidences that will encourage
you and some arguments in behalf or
our position"
First, however, he urged support OF
the Democratic state and congressional
tickets. AS he did at Schenectady and
other places, he laid stress on the plank
in the Democratic platform providing
for publicity of campaign contributions
before election.
''T asked my national committee" he
said. ito publish the contributions be-
fore the election, and it has been done.
| asked our congressional committee to
follow the example of the national
committee, and it has been done"
Mr.. Bryan referred repeatedly to. Mr..
Tafts labor record. He declared that
Mr.. Taft was the most objectionable
public man to laboring men the coun-
try has ever known.
In the course of the day Mr. Bryan
made speeches at Hastings-on-the-
Hudson, Tarrytown, Ossining, Peeks-
kill, Cold Springs, Fishkill, Pough-
keepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson, Rensselaer,.
Schenectady and Troy. Everywhere
along the line of travel immense
crowds turned out in the rain to hear
him
