 After referring to the fact that he had contracted severe cold, he said:
 Gentlemen: My training has been in the court room-my education that of a lawyer. I have been trained from early youth to mature manhood, to dig my ditch and throw my dirt in the other fellows ditch I have been trained to take my view of one side of a case, and view it strong. That has given rise in me to a feel ing of partisanship. Why I never see two eur dogs fighting in a eoun- try road that I don't have my dog. I want say to you that I have no more respect for the man who has not the manhood and sense to decide for himself, and having made a deei- sion to stand boldly out and tell people where he stands-than I have for the thief or burglar who enters your house in the nighttime. He is not honest-he is not a good citizen.
 I have gone to the meetings of the democrats during the senatorial race, and have heard them, as they blew up the constitution of the United States piece by piece. have listen ed to senatorial candidates tear up the old flag and throw it in the dust; and friends, that old constitution was written by our forefathers. Under it our fathers and mothers loved and lived. Under the protection of that constitution I came into being, and friends. God knows I am thankful for that portion of prosperity which I have enjoyed under that old con stitution. (Applause). Friends, it is a good constitution. Let's keep it until we get a better one, I have listened to insults to the flag, to the old flag, the stars and stripes, that banner that led Washington troops at Valley FOreg. The same old stars and stripes that flOated over our Ari- zOna regiments at San Juan Hill. I have listened to them tear it into shreds. It is good old flag, friends. Let us keep it then until we get better one.
 They talk to you about the Ari- zOna constitution. They say WE made the constitution The democrats |. went to Phoenix and wrote a eOnsti- 1. tuition, and in Gods name did they write it for the democrats only or lid they go to Phoenix and write a | constitution for all the people of ! Arizona? That constitution is mine i it is the basic law of Arizona, and . as a republican and as a good eiti- zen, have been taught to obey the aw I stand second to no man in nv allegiance to law and to my fidelity to Arizona s constitution.
 There are things in this eOnstitu- ion that I do not like. There are a .ood many things that I wanted to ee inserted in that constitution, and aw defeated, but the constitution is nine, because the people of Arizona atified it. I am not bigger than ny party, and I am not bigger than he people of Arizona( and it is their Onstitution, and it is mine.
 never had an opinion that I was fraid to tell my fellow man, as l OOk him in the eye. I take issue Tith the recall of the judiciary as it 5 written in the constitution just as
 take issue with other things in the onstitution.
 want to say to you that the con titution is my constitution, that it your constitution, but it is not God iven, nor is it infsllible. I object 9 the recall of the judiciary. There re other things I object to.
