manufacturing industries, and in labor
saving machinery, has been the Won

not been party Of malice.
No More Division.
II hope the time will come when
there shall be no north, no south no
east and no west, but one common gov
eminent under which all shall live as
brothers. considering all political
questions upon their own merits and
no longer divided simply because their
gFandfathers were divided on certain
issues a half century ago If any man
believes that such condition should
not be reached I should like to hear
him give his reasons for it. If any
man believes that his vote should be
own judgment upon current political
issues 1 would like to hear him say
why he so believes.
L would like TO see our people reach
that state of mind which is exemplifed
today In our great progenitOrS-the
people of England In that country
the men who are Joined together on
one political issue are not considered
bound together for contests that may
take place in another year On other
issues. Men bitterly opposed to one
another today on one issue are often
found standing side by side on another
issue tomorrow. That is my idea Of
politics To my mind it seems to be
the only consistent idea that any man
can have. 1t enables every one, with
out regard to past conditions, to strive
for what he believes is best for the
country today.
Prejudice Worse Than Ignorance.
The ignorant voter is bad enough,
but he has an excuse for he knows
no better But the man who votes from
prejudice is absolutely without excuse
and he is a dangerous citizen to his
own government.
In the campaign upon which We are
entering I shall attempt to appeal only
TO the reason of men. / do not expect
to indulge in personal abuse 1 do not
expect to speak evil of any man. Ny
purpose is TO present to the people of
Texas in the cleareSt way within my
power the political issues of the day
l intend to ask them To think about
them and 1 want the support of all
men who agree with me- Mr. ColQu;tt
from being radical of radicals has
suddenly declared against drastic legis-
lation. He has been accused by his
competitors of being a Republican and
running on q Republican platform In
a speech in this city a few days ago
he declared against any more legisla-
ton injurious TO the business inter-
ests and a host of business men thun-
dered back their applause declaring
that they wanted no legislation at all.
Good Business Sense.
These poor fellows forget that fes-
tering sores cannot heal while the
thorn remains. But they have been
chased so much and so often by po-
lftical pirates that they do not realize
that they are entitled to complete re-
lief 1 am going to talk TO them about
their rights in the present campaign
and I am going TO talk to the farmers
Of Texas, because all my life 1 have
believed that the farmers were the
great conservators Of public and pri-
vate rights and that when they study
public questions they are not afraid to
follow their judgment
There are some people that cannot
be reached by argument. The little
fellows who sit around the small towns
and year by year attempt to I'LL the
offices are beyond the reach OF argu-
ment and beyond the hope of redemp-
ton Regularity on the Democratic
ticket is their business and from il
they have derived a livelihood without
even doing so much for Texas's de-
velopment as feeding a pig until its
tail curled-
Genius for Making Mistakes.
I shall pass these men by and ap-
