RALLY Big ONE
FULTON MAKES STRONG ADDRESS
J. l.. Carter aud =. &. Tate Also Speak
on Leading Issues Of Campaign
TO Enthusiastic Audience.


Chss. W. Fulton spoke to a large su-
dience in the opera house Wednesday
evening. The address of Mr.. Fulton
was strong, log ical aud forceful one
based on policies that originated and
have been put in sccessful operation
by the republican party, and which, he
proved by convicing arguments, have
been largely resposible for the pros
perity Of the country.
The meeting opened at 8 o'clock
and was presided over by j. l.. Carter,
president of the TAFT and Sherman
club, and republican member of the
state legislature from this district.
MIR. Carter made a short address and
then, in few we'll chosen words, in
troduced j, q. Tate, we'll known To-
cal speaker who formerly lived in Mr..
Bryan's home town, Lincoln, Nebras-
ka In his opening remarks MIR. Tate
called attention to the beneflcient in
tiuences of protective tariff in the
United States saying that he was
born in the manufacturing districts of
England and that previous to the time
that the tariff was put into effect on
steel rails that the great plants manu-
fscuring them there employed thous-
ands of men at good wages and sold
their product to this country at a
high figure. After the protecti"e tar
if was put into effect and the manu-
fscture of this product WAS COM
menced in this country many OF the
factories in England we're compelled
to close, and wages went down, and
had remained so. The tariff he argued
WAS one of the greatest blessings to
the working man in this country that
had ever been put into effect. In re-
gard to Mr.. Bryan's aspiIaic MS to be
president the speaker said that he
had lived for several years within a
few blocks Of the laxative democratic
leader and knew him personally very
we'll. That in regard to Mr.. Bryan
as a man he had nothing to say. He
belived him to be morally good man
and knew him to be good neighbor.
bat as candidate for the greatest
office in the gift OF the people he was
impossible. He was poser in the
limelight seeking the plaudits of the
multitude. In the three campaigns
in which he had essayed to lead the
people to new land of political prom.
ise the issues that he had promulgated
and espoused we're dangerous, i'm
practicable, skin deep in their wis
dom and flung broadcast over the land
to catch the vote of the unthinkinl
and discontentd. His vacllatins
course in hopping from one perch t'
another In his vain endeavor to strike
an issue that would catch enough oi
the popular vote to land him the pres
idential chair was both ridiculous
and pathetic. In this respect the
speaker said he had observed that
his last stand In the three times that
he has essayed to be president was al.
ways to declare that great corrup'
| tion fund was being raised to buy the
vote of the American people away
| from him. The announcement from
the veteran presidential campaigner
had been delayed little longer this
time, that in previous years, but al
he had expected, it came few days
ago. lie believed statement of this
kind on the part of Mr.. Bryan or any
one else was an insult to the itelli'
genoe and honesty of the American
voter and implied that II votes were
bought they must be democratic votes
as Mr.. Bryan was not cadidate OIL
the republican ticket. In conclusion
the speaker said he didn't think that
the American people we're going t.
elect a man to the presidency they
had twice repudiated for his danger
GUS policies and instability and pre-
dicted an overwhelming victory tol
Taft.
The introduction of Senator Fulton
who is not stranger to Hood Rive
audiences, called forth round o
hearty applause. 1t is about two year
since OIegon's senior member OF tn
United States senate has spoken her
aud his address was listened to wit
rapt attention. He pretaced his ad
dress with an apology for talking poll
tics by telling the story Of tram
who had a man arrested for assaultin
him. When the judge asked the pris
oner what he had to say in mitigation
for bis conduct the latter stated tina
the tramp came to his home and aske
for something to eat and that his wifi
had given him the best the hous
aft orded, including fried chicken an
other delcacies. After 1t was put be
fore him the tramp looked it over an
soathingly inquired if that was tn
best they could do. The prisoner stat
ed that he didn't say anything in n
ply to this as he didn't want to hay
any trouble. After he hal devoure
everything In sight the unbidde
guest insulted the prisoners wife II

reached in his pocket, drew out
filthy pipe, loaded it with strong t.
bacco and put his feet up on thes ab

thing ss he didn't waut to ba'
trouble. "Finally, however, judge,
said the prisoner, "he commenced

knocked him down" "Well | don
| blame you," replied the judg
| "You're discharged. "
| The speaker said be wouldn't blar
| the audience for net wanting to list
to too much politics, but he felt th
there were some very important issu
in the present campaign that th
| ought to heer discussed. In an al
/ manner he went back to the first pri

cy taking as the originators and lea

and jefferson. To the former he sa
