Mr.. Wrigt in brief speech intro
duced Hon. John l. Morramn, Repub-
liean Candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Moorman made vigorous
speech showing what might be ex.
pected if q Democratic congress il
elected and the Tree trade ideas ex-
pressed by Governor Marshall in his
speech here are carried out.
He SAID the Democrats went before
the people in 1892 telling them that
the cost of everything was too high
and if the people would place the
Democratic party in power the eos,
of living would be reduced. The
people elected Cleveland president
and elected Democratic Congress
that congress enacted the Wilson
tariff, not near so bad tariff law as
Marshall now advocates. Most peo-
pie recollect what followed. Prices
were reduced but the country was
filled with tramps, and people IN
every section of the United States
suffered for the necessities of life.
The Republican party is a party
of progress. Every reform and every
advance that has been made In gov
ernment has been made by the Re-
publican party. One of the greatest
progressive leaders of the nation to-
day is Albert j. Beveridge.
Whatever the outcome. every citi-
zen of Indiana can have pride in tn.
fact that his state has taken and will
take great and notable part in the
struggle. 1t has been leader in the
insurgent movement and that is due
almost entirely to the senior senator
Mr.. Beveridge. No one who knows
him doubts he has taken his position
because his conscience and intelli-
gence have told him to; because he
believes with all his soul that he is
right and that he is fighting battle
for the moral, spiritual and material
uplift o fthe nation. And he is. He
is fighting with a courage as magni-
ficent and zeal as ardent as the
bravest soldier ever displayed. Tt
defeat him is the greatest desire OF
the enimes of reform. His skill in
debate, his acquaintance with seuat,
orial methods and men born OF
twelve years experitac and watch
fulness TO show what a tower oi
strength he will be to the movement
he supports. No new man coulo
WELD a hundredth part as much in,
fuence no matter what his talents
The supreme issue in this election al
| see it, as an independent voter, j.
his Endorsement hy the people o1
Indiana and his return to the Senate
History will record his success or
defeat as one of the great turning
points in mighty conflict. 1t is nj
time to quibble over trivialities or IL
shut our eyes TO escape seeing th'
! light. The day will come when mel
will count it an honor to have sup
ported him and especially is this tru'
OF the young men to whom the wore
patriotism is going to mean mor'
than IT did to the men of the las
thirty years. He is a leader they ear
follow with confidence and pride. III
deserves the support of every maj
who wants better America.
Mr.. Cummins followed Mr.. Moor
man and Mr.. Cummins and Mr.
Moorman both paid glowing tribute
to the old soldiers, and Mr.. Cummin
with eloquence such as he only cal
use, showed that the young men o
today have a responsibility resitinl
upon them, which is Just as great a
that which dcvolved upon the younl
men Of 1861.
