Timothy s. Hogan, candidate on
the Democratic ticket for attorney
general, is one of the gifted orators
of Ohio In his speech at the Demo
cratic campaign opening at Canton he
made a number of happy hits. His
speech follows in full:
/ am grateful to the distinguished
chairman Of the state executive com.
mittee and his worthy associates for
the great honor conferred upon me
in my selection as one Of the trio OF
speakers for this occasion.
It Is always an honor to advocate
the principles Of true Democracy,
and surely it is with both pleasure
and pride that now uphold these
principles at a time when they are
sustained by ballot and by express
sion throughout this broad land. We
have marched faithfully on behind
the Democratic banner through yearB
ana years OF disappointment and ad-
versity, and is it any wonder that
our hearts throb with Joy and en-
thusiasm as we behold the flags of
victory hoisted, one by one, over all
our Democratic citadels?
The armies Of Democracy were
never more united, more harmonious,
more confident and more determined
than now, while the ranks Of our Re-
publican brothers are scattered hope
lessly. We Democrats realize that
our cause is now, as 1t has ever been,
true and just and honest and pa
triotic one, while a large portion of
the Republican party has been forced
to open rebellion because Of the
broken promises of their leaders.
Under the alluring theory that the
tariff was created solely and entire
ly for the protection of the toilers of
this country, the duties on the neces-
saries of life have been steadily in
creased, until behind the fortified
walls of a prohibitiVe tariff, gigantic
combinations and trusts have been
fah lott n
wealth beyond the dreams Of avarice,
while the laboring man, unable to
supply his family with bread and
is demanding the cause Of
the high cost of living.
During the last presidential cam
paign, the advocates of the ridiculous
theory that "the foreigner paid the
tax" we're compelled to admit its fall
lacy, and in order to perpetuate
themselves in Offices and further en-
they appealed to the vot-
ers for reelection by solemnly prom
ising to revise the tariff downward,
and thereby reduce the cost of liv-
ing to our people. How that promise
was kept is now a matter Of history.
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, sup
ported by the other stand-pat sena-
tors, and Joseph G. Cannon Of Illi-
nois, supported by our representa-
tives in congress from Ohio, effectu-
ally throttled all legislation and
forced the passage Of the most in
Iquitous tariff bill we have ever
known.
This wanton violation Of the most
sacred promises made before the last
election to the American people, this
Derfidy and double-dealing on the
part of our representatives in con-
gress, has aroused the righteous In
lignation of every true American cit
zen.
Thousands Of the strongest men in |
he Republican party have been
branded insurgents" by the ma.
,hine," because they have repudiated |
Aldrich and Cannon, and have the
courage to demand that those prom
ses shall be fulfilled.
The disclosures of corruption in
ligh places, brought to light by
orced investigation, as notably the
,ase in which it is shown that a
member of the presidents cabinet
vas involved in a gigantic plot to abb
yorb the coal lands of Alaska, cover
