Senator Newlands' Speech
From $3.50 until IL o'clock the audi
ence reveled in political instruction
and advocacy. From Senator New
lands they received the fundamentals
and a very comprehensive and clear
resume Of the position Of the demo-
cratic party. The speakers who fol-
lowed devoted themselves more to
sounding the note OF the irresponsible
conflict which was at hand and as
they made use of some of the familiar
expressions OF combat for the trusts
and the predatory rich, not to speak
OF references to gumshoeing deeds
of darkness, the people began to feel
THAT the campaign was really at hand.
Ehe remarks OF Senator Newlands
Gfe set forth at large In part, in an
other column. They were received
with the closest attention and were
frequently greeted with enthusiastic
applause.
After a somewhat extended prelimi-
nary address the mention by DE-.
Bergstein of the name Of Senator New
lands brought loud and continued ap-
plause which terminated the intro
Juction in a happy way. and Senator
Newlands was again greeted as he
arose to speak
Refers to Superior Sex
After preliminary expressions Of
pleasure at being home again, Senator
Newlands very handily turned trib-
ute to the ladies' whose presence was
noticeable. He referred to them as
the superior sex" and stated that,
already sovereigns Of the home thu
might shortly be expected to share
with man in the sovereignty in the
government The promised assistance
was welcome, Senator Newlands said,
as women were essentially the guard
ians Of morality and the homo and
properly should be relied upon for all
legislation tending to protect those
very basic elements of society.
The tribute was q spontaneous one
and was received with much favor,
not only by the ladies. who were de-
lighted, but by the men who seemed
to appreciate the gallantry.
The address which Senator New
lands then proceeded to unfold be-
came very thorough analysis Of the
problem OF government both from the
standpoint OF revenue and existence
and from the-point of view Of equali-
ty OF governmental protection and
assistance. The formula Of the demo-
cratic party to be seen In it's position
