Saturday Evening

convention and their stand to-day.
He referred to the statements made
by Springmeyer before the conven-
ton and then invited the people to
compare the platform as adopted by
the Republicans.
He challenged anyone to discover
a single plank that even intimated
that the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company is in politics in this state
or that there will be any effort made
by the Republican party towork "un-
til the Southern Pacific, body, soul
and purse, is kicked out OF politics "
He called attention to the fact that
there were no planks i'll the platform
providing for further railroad legisla-
ton; for the physical valuation of
railroad properties; for the portec-
ton of voters from corruption by the
undue use of money and the intimi-
dation of the employe; the limiting
of campaign contributions and ex-
penditures; the prohibition OF the use
of corporate funds directly or indi-
rectly for election purposes, and the
publication of election contributions
and expenditures prior to elections.
He charged that the Endorsement
OF Senator Nixon was the indorse-
ment of Senator Aldrich and is in
defensible; that the insurgent ele-
ment won their victory in the prima-
ries but were betrayed by their nom
inees and leaders in the convention;
that this is demonstrated not only by
the platform but by the subsequent
speeches by these candidates where
in they failed to announce a single
insurgent principle.
The chairman then introduced the
next Member of Congress" in most
flattering terms, which brought forth
applause.
He opened by stating that it was
principles and not men before the
electors. He went after the speech of
Senator Morehouse and in referring
to the Republican platform stated
that it was made to get on and not
stand on. He took up the national
issues and handled them without
gloves and hit the railroad a rap for
its action through the Republicans
in recommending the abolishment of
the railroad commission as an ap-
pointive office.
The Democrats expect to win in
the state this fall on the splendid
business administration OF Governor
Dickerson and upon the straight un-
equivocal declarations in their plat
form on state issues. In the country
at large the Democrats will win on
the extravagant record of the Repub-
lican party and upon its betrayal of
the people in its unfulfilled promises
of tariff reform. The honest Repub-
licans throughout the country are re-
pudiating its leaders, rebuke is in
progress against their faithlessness.
and many Republican states and con-
gressional districts are being turned
over to the Democrats in conse-
quence.
Mr.. Sprague closed by appealing to
the Republicans to help rhe Demo-
Gratis restore popular government in
the country and destroy the money
power in governmental affairs.
Charley Deadly. one of Carson's
favorites, told of his expectations and
the work of the office of Surveyor
General. Charley is always we'll re-
ceived.
Ed Ryan, candidate for mine In
spector, followed and made a good
impression by his straight talk.
Joe Josephs had the last say and
the ting broke up with three
cheers all round.
