The San Francisco call., 1910-11-05

have you select a man of this bads char
talking to the people of San Francisco
urging the selection of the democratic
candidate for governor. I ask you free
eremng to rres IF You nave are not
your heart the idea that a man who
views all equal before the law has
committed the unforgivable sin, ask
With Hearst and Ruef and Calhoun and
Burke and Herrin? Or do they lie on
the other side of the line? That is the
problem that is up to you.
ALIGNMENT PLAIN
There is the alignment. Every man
in this state and every individual in
this city understands the alignment 1t
is OF no avail for any man to say Il
have no knowledge of this particular
ment IL infamy in the city of San Fran
cisco on the one side. Every one of
that pirate crew there marching to the
state of California. There. Is every
single instrument that has been used
in the past to make of your city a
mock, just as they design to make of
in battle array, every one of them,
belching forth his billingsgate and en-
they all are marching along to the
democratic tune and in, behalf of the
democratic candidate. And. of course,
if they are able to fool you in this
Herrin and Mr. Jere Burke, his general
factotum, who is running the demo-
cratic candidates campaign in San
Francisco. you may believe that they
are going to elect the democratic can
didate for governor, SO that he can
put Mr.. Herrin out of the government
and that Mr. Burke is so Interested in
the campaign that he is going to elect
the democratic candidate $50 that he
may deprive Mr.. Burke of the lucrative
position of bribing Legislators in the

that sort of thing is possible? Every
one of these men is in the fight maxim g
the democratic campaign for the demo
cratic candidate.
FIGHT Is RATIONAL
/ have been speaking of what is the
local side of a national fight. For the
first time in the history of this state
California is upon the political map of
this nation. For the first time In our
existence we have taken q position in
revolt that is nationwide. Today
California is recognized as being a
part of this great national revolution,
the object Of which is to give the gov
ernment back to the people ind to re-
quire of every agent and every official
Of the government undivided alleg-
lance in its affairs. All along the line
we are recognized as being an integ-
raj part, great part. of national
the music that means political freq
dom for the entire nation, that means
that government shall be for the peo-
pie, for humanity, rather than for the
special interests or for personal or
private gain. This movement you may
term by what name you please-insur-
gent republicanism, progressive repub-
Iicanism or new nationalism, as our
great leader designates it. 1t is the
struggle of free men to gain and hold
self government as against the special
looting of the people by the unholy al
lance between big business and poll
tics. IT stands for true protection, pro-
lection of every pursuit and every call
ing requiring protection, but 1t opposes
the use of protection as a cloak for
the robbery of the people and the en-
richment of the trusts.
In this great movement every cltl-
zen, no matter what his previous politi-
cal affiliations may have been, can lend
his aid in order that gover1mental
that government may be put in this
great country upon its true and its
lasting and it's original basis. And
that IS the fight that is o nthroughoxt
this great land. Our brethren on the
other side have naught to offer in lieu
of that which is the glorious destiny
of the state of California.
In the national aspect of this fight
you have your choice On the one side
you have william Randolph Hearst;
on the other side You have the man
who typif1es American vfrility Ameri-
can manhood, American courage and
who represent civic righteousness in
this land-Theodore Roosevelt. Choose
ye between them. And in the state
you have your right to choose as we'll
There arrayed together are Ruef, Cal
houn. the Evening Post, the Examiner
William r. Hearst. Jere Burke, Leon
Dennery and the whole nauseous crew.
Choose between them on the one hand
and this man before you on the other
Which shall it be? Uour cheers.)
And I'll tell you something. 1t does
not matter which you choose, because
the rest of the stae has chosen already
and the result is not in doubt, no mat
ter how many votes are bought next
Tuesday in San Francisco. And what
ever these men are able to acomplish
in San Francisco, thank God they can
not yet in the state of California elect
the governor.
And now I will read you a few ex-
tracts from the speeches delivered by
the democratic candidate four years
ago. We spoke of the twin iniauities,'
Hearst and Herrin, and said that he
placed them on one side of the line
and himself on the other. Today he
has either crawled over the line to
them or they have hoped over the. line
to him. ] do not know which. You ear
take your choice %
You ask me why draw line and
