Wherein have the people whom you
have sent into these great bodies of the
government betrayed you?
"ToorHAcHE" 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. l
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 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 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

from sixty to thirty bushels per acre in
the state Of Idaho? Hard times? With
a crop of 100000 bushels of wheat on
the fields of Idaho. Hard times? With
clip of 25,000,000 pounds of wool this
year? (Applause)
| do not want to point Won ont 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 endeayor
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 Republic
cans of the state to accept its work
whether they, approve of it entirely or
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
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 op-
| position whether it be Dubois Democ-
raey 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
representation on this ticket Some
ridiculous charges have been made for
the purpose of diverting the attention of
the Republican party from those great
issues, They are false, but are being
spread over the land. | saw one in a
newspaper in regard to myself; as false
as it is possible for it to be. 1t says,
Senator Hepburn comes out in opposi-
ton to platform pledges of any kind"
was almost tempted to use harsh Ian
guage in discussing that statement OF
course, it is not true No man stands
more firmly for the pledges of the party
than myself, but want to know they
are the pledges of the party, not some
body's. statement as to them. should
be the last man in this state, or among
those, who would for moment coun-
