that have said except esteem and
respect for my opponent. You know
how little respect was paid to his
wishes 20 put into that platform any
thing that had the least tinge or color
of progressiveness.
Therefore he Is tied hand and foot
by the machinery that has nominated
him, and he has consented to stay so
tied. for in his speech of acceptance
he said that he would not undertake
to force upon his party in the Legis-
lature anything that they did not want
to have forced upon them.
Concerning the Governorship.
HE said he would be a constitutional
Governor, and would punctlliously con-
| fine himself to these things that were
modest and becoming a man who had
nothing of his own to thrust upon
anybody. | do not want to be elected.
If you should elect me upon any such
false pretenses II that is the defini
! ton of constitutional Governor, l
shall not be constitutional Governor,
because there is one thing that man
| has to obey over and above the State
constitution, and that Is his own con-
stitution
II have very great respect and
profound sympathy, I must say, for
President Taft. He is in about as un-
| favorable and awkward a position as
a man could get in, and it is not his
own fault that he got into it. That is
| the reason he has my sympathy. If
man walks into hole he has no
| sympathy from me, but If he is put

dent Taft has my profound sympathy,
and yet he did make a great blunder
himself He did not see the signs Of
the times. that little cloud no bigger
| than mans hand rising on the hori-
zon in the West; he did not know 1t
was going to spread until 1t covered
the whole face of the Western heaven,
and so, in a very well-known speech
at a town named Winona, which l
am happy to say is not in New Jersey.
he declared that the Aldrich-Payne
| tariff was the best tariff ever enacted
| by Republican Congress. I think
that is nothing less than a libel on
previous tariffs. Some previous tariffs
have been very reasonable in my opin-
ion, but the Aldrich-Payne tariff was
possible-impossible for rational men
to sustain. I say that there was a
colossal blunder.
Right Use of Power.
7 "I have just now spoken of being an
unconstitutional Governor If l should
be elected Governor of New Jersey. I
don't know that the Constitution for
bids the executive or the President
from using his patronage in any way
he pleases, but 1t does forbid him to
use it in order to drag men into voting
the way he wants them to vote. There
is an immortality which is very much
more serious than an unconstitutional
| ity, and l am very sorry that this great
and honorable man has made this use
of his patronage, and now he sees that
he made colossal blunder and used
1t on the wrong side. That great body
of insurgents is rising and rising and
these stand-patters are going to get
drowned, because If they can't rise
they must drown.
THAT river that divides us from
Canada divides us from much cheaper
living, Notwithstanding that the Can
adian Parliament levies duties on its
| importations. But there are not these
combinations of factories In Canada
that ride our backs like old men of
the sea, to make men really believe
that these combinations with capital
give them the benefit of the tariff.
Don't they know that? They. know
that they have gotten the benefit out
of everything. They have gotten the
benefit by the process of organized
labor say all honor to the legiti-
mate use of organized labor.
II have taken the liberty sometimes,
as every man should, to criticise some
of the things that organized labor has
done, but have never for moment
ceased to sympathize with these es-
sential objects which have benefited
the laboring man.
