SAM GORDON TALKS
TO CROWDED HALL
FULL COUNTY OPTION PROMISE
IS ROUNDLY APPLAUDED AT
AN0KA REPUBLICAN
RALLY,

s. Y. Gordon, republican candidate
crowded house in Anoka on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 18, and met with grand
reception. The following were his re-
marks:
We of Minnesota have but recently
settled cur differences within the part
les in the primary election and have
now set about to settle at the polls
our differences between the parties.
All of us are American citizens and
most of us have the welfare of the
state and nation at heart, but differ
honestly as to the proper poIltlcaI
course to pursue, and this divides US
into parties. Some of us are Republic
ans, some Democrats, other Prohibi-
tionists, and when we align ourselves
with party we ought to have rea-
son for doing so. This reminds me
of the story of the school master in
western Tennessee settlement who had
drilled number of his brightest pupils
In the history of contemporary politics,
and to test their faith and their knowl-
edge, he called upon three of them one
day and demanded a declaration of
personal political principles.
'You are a Republican, Tom, are
you not?' Inquired he of the first.
Yes, Sir" was the reply. And Bill,
you are a Prohibitionist, l believe"
"Yes, Sir" said Bill And Jim, you
are a Democrat" Yes, Sir" said Jim.
''Well, now," continued the school
master, "the one of you who gives the
best reason why he belongs to his
party can have this live squirrel which
caught on my way to school this
morning" Il am a Republican," said !

the first boy" because the Republican
party saved the country in the war and
abolished slavery And am a Pro
hibitionist," ratified off the second
YOUTH because rum is our country's
greatest enemy, and the cause of our
overcrowded prisons and pOOrhouses."
Very excellent reasons, boys, very eX-
cellent reasons" observed the school
master, encouragingly. And now, jim,
why are you a Democrat? We'll, Sir,
was the reply, Il am a Democrat be-
cause I want that SQUIRREL
And l have been wondering if our
friends Frank Day and James Gray
and other leading Democrats don't
have about the same plausible reasons
as Jim had for being Democrats. The
Republican party has been the party
of advancement, progress, achieve
ment, and l am convinced that it is des-
tined to continue to be such a party,
while the Democratic party has been
the trailing party, never advancing in
it's own right, never constructing.
The Tariff.
do not claim that the Repub-
lican party is infallible, for its mem
bership is human and it has been
known to err. | am not here to defend
the Payne-AIdrich bill in its entirety
There is no use in minctng matters
on questions of this kind. | do not
believe the tariff law is just what the
Of
it be, and l glory in the spunk of those
Minnesota senators and representa-
tives IN congress who refused to stand
hitched and swallow the dose, but the
responsibility of the Payne-Aldrich
law must not be made to rest entirely
on the shoulders of the Republicans.
AS Senator Clapp emphatically de-
cIared in his MankatO speech: LET
those without sin in this tariff matter
cast the first stone and l am not fear
full that the so-called progressive Dem
ocrats will be at liberty to do any cast
ing"
Had this element of the Democratic
party voted with the progressive Re-
publicans in congress the Payne-AE
drich law could have been defeated, or
at least so amended as to give US a
measure more in keeping with the
eternal fitness of things.
This tariff controversy proved
notable event in the political history of
the country and marked the beginning
of another demonstration of proof OF
the fact that the Republican party
Invariably in the end yields to the will
OF it's great body membership and
keeps pace with the needs and de.
mands of the times. 1t was fight be,
