JUDGE JONES AROUSED
MILITANT DEMOCRACY
Scamins
Sedmn nd TumuioE Applause Whenever


Major Stedman (applause). It is only
question Of how great will the ma
jority be. was in the convention
that nominated the major. and was
defeated, but / will help him and ask
my friends, who supported me to help
him (great applause). The next
house viii be democratic. Since the
last congress met So OF the old mem
bers have been defeated and all Of
these were standpat republicans but
Eve. These FIVE we're democrats that
voted with Cannon on every count"
Judge Jones devoted the last half
hour OF his speech TO state issues and
during this time he flayed Butler. He
thought that while the bonds that had
been collected were not reconstrnc-
tion bonds, the collection of them had
been made possible through the mani
pulations OF Butler. ANY man who
will do that, is the same kind OF a
lawyer who will accept a fee from
one client aud then call aside the man
whom that client is fighting and take
fee from him. Butler was senator
when he did that any any man who
would do Il Is a traitor. And yet he
goes about the state challenging men
to meet him in joint debates Nobody
will stoop TO that evil. Let Tom Set
tie, Holton. Meekins. or any other
republican make the same challenge
and there will he plenty OF people TO
meet them. II ! am not big enough
TO do It. there are plenty OF others
who are"
He said that there were three rea-
sons why the voters should pile up a
democratic majority this year. One
these was 10 keep Butler aud his poll
cies out OF state government
The second was that a republican
victory would put IN jcpordy the con-
stitutional amendment, which took the
negro from the stale politics. There
are three candidates for the supreme
court bench on the republican ticket
These men were not In favor OF the
amendment az the time II was passed
H n they get on the bench they will b.
able 10 out vote the other two any ma,
reverse the former decision Of The
court that this amendment was con
stitutional. n this IL done u will b,
possible 10 make the people Of thil
state pay those bonds. which they arr
not ready to pay. There are oyeI
thirty million Of those bonds and Their
are only two million IN this state
You may figure for yourselves wha
II would cost.
The third reason for voting m
: democratic ticket II that the party hal
given good administration. On th
other hand every time the republican
: have had charge Of the state govern
ment II has caused disorder and con
8 fusion. He compared the rule Q
9 Vance and Holden. The republican
J. have not been able to find singl
: thing to criticize into state govern
( ment. They charge extravaganza. b.
n we have spent money for things the
a dare not criticize. schools. insane as,
4 lums and things OF this kind.
Il The latter part Of the speech r
r yerted back to national politics. II
