Ruef-

whole pirate crew today all gathered
together in the one desire and the one
design to elect the democratic candidate
governor of this state. He has made
his alignment with the Evening Post
Of this city. He shows it daily, and
when he answers the question as TO
whether or not Calhoun is for him by
saying he has no information you may
Judge of the character of that answer
by looking at the Eevening Post night
after night.
But there is the alignment today.
You understand what 1t is. You men
here know that I have committed in the
eyes of some people the unpardonable
and unforgivable sin. You understand
that there are some people in this city
who believe that the conduct of a man
in the past in certain circumstances
such as mine has been is such that he
never can be forgiven and that he shall
be bounded forever. You realize, just
as ] do, whence comes the advocacy of
the democratic candidate by the Even
ing Post. You realize. just as | do. the
alliance that has been on for some time
between Hearst and Herrin in the poll
tics Of this state. You realize how that
particular newspaper of Hearst. De
bsuched as 1T has become in the last
few years, resorts to anything, no mat
ter how base, in order to accomplish
its purpose.
INDICTS HEARST
I remember the sixteenth of Novem-
ber. when q brave mans blood bespat-
tered the very fount of justice, when
q man was shot down, assassinated by
the vile cartoons in the San Francisco
Examiner. / remember that night. when
every skulking rat in that paper went
down the dark highways and the dark
lanes surrounded by Pinkerton detec-
tives, fearing an outraged pubic and
an outraged public opinion. / remem-
Der how they whined for the next few
days and the next few weeks, and by
hypocrisy endeavored to cover their
trail in San Francisco. remember
how, going on then, growing bolder,
until their alliance was broadcast with
W. +. Herrin and the Southern Pacific.
And today you find the San Francisco
Examiner in alliance with the Evening
Post and with William F. Herrin and
the Southern Pacific in the endeavor to
elect a governor of the state of Cali
fornia. That is the paper today that
IS sending forth its billingsgate all
over this land concerning this candi-
date and which has sought to assas-
sinate men in the past by what 1t has
done and what it has said, which is
assassinating today, or endeavoring to
~ for this man before you to build UP
in the state OF California.
