CT September, yet does not feel the
strain in the least. He said, by way
of introduction, that chronologically
he was rs. physiologically he was
45, while in point of experience he
was as old as was Moses when he
died. He had been speaking in pub
lie for 81 years and had learned that
bravery was the rule among men. He
had also learned that honesty is over
whelmingly the rule among men.
But he held that not all the honesty
and intelligence are to. be found in
one party. In monarchy it is the
duty Of the king to govern his sub
jects so that the righs Of his people
are best subserved. In a republic
these governing powers are in the
hands of the people themselves. 1t

t., be an American citizen. An obli-
cation rests on all citizens alike. The
citizens of this country want purity
il, politics, and desire to drive bad
men out of power and to defeat bad
measures. Not all the good men or
all the bad men are in either of the
two great political parties in this
country, said the speaker.
The grey-haired veteran of the
-.
Civil war laid down his premises with
force and emphasis. He said he want

When He's at the Polls

Next Thursday, Nov. 3rd, is cleo
ton day, the one day when the plain
citizen has his say.
When morning dawns on that date,
the festive candidate, who, for months
past, has handed out campaign cigars,
extended the "glad hand and in

had his day and the voter will be

He referred to the fact that the dem
ocratic convention adopted a plank of
this nature without dissension, while a
similar proposition was smothered by
the republican convention. Gen. Wea-
yer claimed that the same guarantee
should be given to a deposition that
Ee shall get his money out of bank
as the bank requires from a borrow
er that he shll pay it back. In this
connection he used an illustration that
evoked considerable laughter He
criticised Taft's position that a gov
ernment bank guarantee is a ".propo-
sition to make the honest banker
stand for the dishonest banker The
speaker even went further and charg-
ed that Taft opposes the proposition
because Bryan advocates it. He quot
ed Deaws and Gage and Knute Nelson
as fayoring government guarantee of
bank deposits.
He claimed that since the passage
[of law of that nature in Oklahoma,
money has been going out of Kansas
banks into Oklahoma banks, because,
he said, it was safe in the latter state.
He claimed a guarantee would prevent
runs on banks.
The former candidate for the presi-
dency on the greenback and the popu-
list tickets then paid his respects to
congress. He asserted that ,Aldrich,
who married into the Rockefeller fam
lily. has the senate in his power. SEN
ators, he claimed should be elected by
popular vote. He complimented La
FC llette for his fight for right and de-
cency in the senate. In the house
Cannon, said the speaker, ruled SUI
preme. Aldrich has the government
b. the tail and Cannon is holding it's
head, shouted the speaker Five mea-
sures of great benefit recommended
by President Roosevelt were held up
because Cannon was a creature of the
trusts. Cannon is a tyrant," asserted
Gen. Weaver You should elect a
congressman from this district who is
opposed to him.
Gen. Weaver declared that Taft
would not know an issue if he would
see it coming down the street" He
denounced Sherman, the republican
vice presidential candidate, asserting
that he is Cannon's right hand man.
Gen. Weaver declared that the peo-
pie should have information as to the
physical valuation of the railroads.
The democrats, said he, have in their
platform, plank covering this idea;
the republicans rejected one, he aver
ed. Gen. Weaver declared that the
democratic platform is a bunch of
gems; the republican platform "a
bundle of contradictions and your own
candidate won't stand on it.; con-
geries of misfits."
Gen. Weaver said that his observa-
tion while in Minnesota, indicated
the election of both Bryan and john
son. He believed there would be a
great slump to the democratic tick
ct.
After the address, the fact that
Congressman C. A. Lindbergh is in
dependent of the Cannon rule, was
called to Gen. Weaver's attention.
He said he was glad to hear it and
had he been aware of the fact, he
would have given the congressman
credit for his manly stand.

nipeg Flyer Sunday morning for Indi-
