Mr.. Mccoy. who was the first speaker,
said among other things:
II am glad that Major Wiley has de-
cided to come out into the open where
we can see him and ask a few ques-
tons about his past record in Congress
and what he intends TO do If he should
be reelected.
He started his campaign by making
certain statements, which | shall UNI
dertake to speak of on another occasion.
on his sccon appearance he urges the
Insurgent Republicans who opposed his
nomination to forego their convictions
for the sake of party regularity. He
does not express regret at having joined
in the violation of the pledges of the
Republican platform of 1908, the viola
ton of which more than any other one
thing is the cause of Republican insur-
ency; nor does he explain why he SUP
ported cannon and ~"Gannonism' ON
all occasions, In short, he belittles the
intelligence of those to whom he makes
such an appeal or casts a serious re-
Election on their claim to sincerity.
Ask Major Wiley these questions:
Ask Wiley About This.
Why did you vote for changes in the
cotton schedule increasing the duties
on the cheaper grade of stockings 81 per
cent, on plain white goods used Tor
women's and children wear 80 per cent.
on colored cotton cloth for cheapest inn
itation of silks 81 per cent; on eolored
sateens for women's dresses, Innings,
etc, 46 per cent; on white gloves, such
as are worn by policemen, over 80 per
cent?
Was 1t from sympathy with the
Dartmouth Manufacturing Company. of
New Bedford, which paid 1888 per
cent. dividends in nine years and which
has a surplus of over 80 per cent. of It's
capital; or with the Pepperell Manu-
featuring Company, of Biddeford, Me-,
which paid Dos per cent. in dividends
in nine years and has a surplus of over
so per cent. of its capital, or with the
Union Cotton Manufacturing Company,
of Fall River, which paid 202. Y per
cent. in the same period, and Sycamore
Manufacturing Company, of Fall River,
which paid 80 per cen in four years.
both of which have SURPRISES of nearly
one-half of their capital2
Are these profits reasonable or I'M
reasonable"
Mr.. Osborne exposed the legislative
trickery of the Republican party. He
also exposed the Republican opposition
to the bill introduced by the Democrats
to pay railroad employees their wages
at shorter intervals than a month
only three Republicans joining the
Democrats in its favor.
Mr.. Hull in. his speech maintained
that the rAgiste.'s Office Is a purely ad-
ministrative ard business institution.
1t should be flied by d man thoroughly
qualified and fully experienced to rams
act the affairs of the office, he said,
and promised, If elected. to perform his
duties in a way which would reflect
honor on his party.
Mr.. Boettne. said: When we look
upon the acts of the Republican party
In the recent legislatures we, must feel
convinced that il honesty and common
sense prevail or election day, then the
ca candidates of the Democratic party
win triumph"
Party's shattered Character.
James 2. Mylod described the Repub-
lican party as a party with a bankrupt
character.
Mr.. Brown mad an eloquent appea
