The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1908-09-23

Wherein have the people whom you
have sent into these great bodies of the
government betrayed you?
'TooTHAcHE" PANIC LAST FALL.
Last fall there was a financial panic
of small extent; one of those sharp
what / call "toothache" panics. Most
excruciating pain, with a plain remedy
in sight, as there is always of the dent
lists forceps to cure a tootache. So
there was a remedy to cure the panic,
and it was at the hand of the Republican
party and they applied it and it disap-
peared and it is only what you might
call long distance telephone panic. |
had man in the last few weeks tell
me the panic is not past yet. Where
is the center of the panic? Why, in Los
Angeles they are having hard times
You meet a man from Los Angeles no,
they are not having hard times there,
but they are over in Galveston 1t is
always somewhere elsa long distance
panic-for today there is no panic
Go out and look at those fields, those
trees loaded with fruit, and those trains
Of cars taxed to their utmost capacity to
carry it to a market such as the world
has never known Yesterday stood in
an orchard between Payette and
Plymouth, which the owner told me
would yield him thousand dollars per
acre profit, and he was trying to get men,
boys and women to pick the fruit for
market.
HARD TIMES? NOT AT PRESENT
Hard times? With wheat at the price
it is selling now? Hard times? With
from sixty to thirty bushels per acre in
the state of Idaho? Hard times? With
a crop of $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat on
the fields of Idaho. Hard times? With
clip of 25,0o0,000 pounds of wool this
year? (Applause)
do not want to point you out as
person for criticism, but a man in the
vigor of his youth who talks hard times
in the state of Idaho has certainly made
mistake in the direction of his endeavor
prolonged applause).
| have seen some evidence of the
lame bird to which | referred The
state convention has been held, and
has performed what it believed to be its
duty, and it is the duty of the Republi-
cans of the state to accept its work
whether they approve of it entirely or
not. Bear in mind that this world is
one of averages; that is all you can get
in business; that is all you can get in
those legal principles or declarations
No man can have everything he wants
Each man under a government such as
ours comedies something in order that I
he may derive some benefit from others |
REPUBLICAN TICKET REPRESENTS PRINCIPLE
That principle is behind the candidates
Of the Republican party in this state.
They represent principle If their names
were changed they would still represent
principle, and it makes no difference to
you whether their names are John Jones
or John Smith They are Republican
nominees standing upon the Republican
platform, representing Republican prin-
ciples, and you cannot cut them out of
it without substituting for them the OPP
position whether it be Dubois Democ-
racy or some other Democracy. Stand
by the Republican party and its ticket
and vote it straight That is the advice
| give and the advice of good citizenship.
You have all received some share in
on this ticket. Some
ridiculous charges have been made for
he purpose of diverting the attention of
he Republican party from those great
ssues. They are false, but are being
spread over the land. | saw one in a
newspaper in regard to myself as false
IS it is possible for it to be. 1t says,
Senator Hepburn comes out in opposi-
ion to platform pledges of any kind"
was almost tempted to use harsh Ian
'uage in discussing that statement. Oh
curse, it is not true. No man stands
more firmly for the pledges of the party
han myself, but | want to know they ,
re the pledges of the party, not some ;
'ody's statement as to them. should ;
