SAN DIEGO. Oct. 3.-~Ruman repub-
hcanism" was the name with which
Hiram W Johnson tonight christened
the great national movement of polite
al insurgency. In a talk Of the utmost
frankness, he outlined to 75 republic
an leaders Of San Diego county, gath
cred with him al dinner, the doctrines
Of the uew republicanism within the
state OF California.
Here is a city where a strong demo-
cratic sentiment exists and before an
audience of men many of whom were
aligned against him prior TO the pri-
mary election, the republican standard
bearer declared in the most positive
language his absolute adherence TO
the very doctrines with which he began
his hsht for the republican nomination
six months ago.
Though he spoke to men who fought
MIN bitterly at abe primaries, and
though he enunciated the same princi-
pies for which he then stood. he left the
banquet hall tonight with the echoes of
spontaneous ovation still ringing in
his ears.
HUMAN REPUBLICANISM
1t is human republicanism that
am preaching in the state of Califor-
MA now" he declared. 1T is a repub-
licanism that demands that the govern
ment shall control the interests and not
the interests control the government.
II is q republcanism that demands that
every child. whether rich or poor, shall
have an equal start in the race of life.
It is a republicanism that eXalts the
human being above the mere dollar.
Il is a republicanism that demands, in
fact, a government Of the people.
Rather than be swerved one bit
from the line upon which I began this
hght six months ago I'd lose the gov
ernorship of the state of California
and every vote in San Diega county.
] began this battle with the one great
end in view Of kicking out of the
government Of this state William +.
Herrin and the Southern Pacific rail-
road. and in the fulfllmen of that end
there shall be neither vaccillation,
hesitation, concession nor compromise
COUNTRY Is FOR HIM
1t doesn't make the snap of fin
gers difference TO me what any city
in this state may do at the November
election. I have travelled through the
state within the last two weeks, from
SiskiyOu 10 Fresno and have come
from Fresno here. Whatever the cit
les may do, I know that the country
is right and it's going TO win this night
just as it won the primary election.
Where there has been one democratic
accession of q man who listens to the
loot OF an engine or the rumble Of
train OF freight cars I've received
6ozen reputable democrats under the
standard for which I stand"
The country is for the man who is
now speaking TO you because it knows
ne is going 10 do just exactly what he
says ne is going to do and because 1t is
afraid Of the conservatism along these
lines which has been so suddenly de-
veloped by my opponent. L am talk
ing to you plainly because 1 believe
everybody is entitled TO know just what
am going TO do. No lure of Office nor
reaching out after votes can change me
one whit in the object / have set out
10 accomplished. What we set out to
DO within the republican party has
been accomplished. The same result is
going 10 be accomplished within the
government Of California"
