defeated this fall if only as the price
of it, l could get into the blood of ev.
cry Indiana young man and young
woman that real patriotism which
makes him think of the flag and the
republic rather than his party and
his ward boss. This is no ordinary
political campaign. The great move
ment which includes the ending of
child labor includes the ending OF the
wrogns of the laboring man: includes
the Strengthening out Of those things
that are crooked in American business
and which are defended only by those
who are getting graft from the people,
and defended only by the lobbyists
they employ. That great movement is
the movement of righteousness. which
is only a repetition of a movement
that lifted Abraham Lincoln on it's
great arms and made him the prophet
and the latter day martyr for a holy
cause; it is only the pepetion in anoth-
er form of that mighty movement that
started two thousand years ago by the
greatest revolutionists that ever lived,
which had, in the language of the
Bible, started movement which was
in Daniels vision like a stone cut by
hands unseen from the mountain side
which would roll on until it covered
all the world with the glory of the
king, or mans universal Lord.
A Great Compliment.
THE other day some man said to
me Beverage. you are not making po-
litical speeches; what you are doing is
preaching sermons l never had SO
high a compliment and when the time
comes in the future that when l ap.
peal to my fellow citizens in whose
hands and minds and appearances
rests the future of this republic that
don't preach a sermon rather than
make a partisan speech, l will get out
of public life.
81 get a great many letters from the
people. used to get grea
many from the politicians. I don,
get them any more. / don't mind tel
ing you citizens l am not very popular
with the politicians any more.
1.-The reason is that l have ended
SO far as Indiana is concerned. mos
unwisely in their opinions. the sourc
of our campaign funds. When you &
down the line for. Righteousness yo,
usually do away with the source o
campaign funds. I have chosen t.
do that, so I am not very popular wit
the politicians any more. They don
write me any more letters.
They say l am making nonpartisal
speeches in this campaign. That Il
true. I am doing the same thing l di'
for 1900 miles with Mr.. Taft in tn
last campaign. I am doing the SAM
thing have done for ten years. I an
not making partisan speeches, but a
l said a few minutes ago i am MAXIM
an American speech and l propose t
keep on making that kind of speech
boys, just as long as l live.
Fights Tariff Bill.

l fought that bill. You men and won

people, and no boss in this world ca

the party, said, well, think my pal

me- But when the democrats come I
you and tell you that we have done
very unrighteous thing, l want you t
know that the democrats in congress
didn't strike blow to prevent tn
evil of that tariff. Not only that, but
want you men and women to kno'
that when the fight was only abou
one-third over the democrats tried t
stop us republicans from trading o
that bill When anybody comes to 20

loughtn't they? The democrats dom
So far as 1 can see they are mere pol
passions of people against a wron
which they themselves helped to pc
petrate. Now then Mr. Bryan sal
that the only persons that did an.
thing for real reform were the pr,
gressive republicans.
