The Address.

Governor Johnson spoke of the new
party which came into being in Chi
cage in August. He mentioned the
assassination of the Republican party
in June and said that only good could
come out of it. AS in Wisconsin, Cali
fornia had been struggling for certain
governmental principles and 10 the
great fight they owed much to Wis
consin. They won in California and
if there are any two states that should
go hand in hand it is Wisconsin and
California. For this reason Governor
Johnson said be was delighted to talk
to the people of Baraboo on living
issues.
He said his party sought to do certain
things, mentioning the recall and other
elements which go to safeguard a
government. The party seeks to aid
in the upiift in the human struggle,
seeks to solve the human problem.
The chief asset of any nation is its
men and women and these the new
party strive to aid. He denounced
child labor as it is found in America
and said that it should be prohibited.
Germany has reached the goal in many
of the human problem, while this, the
greatest nation, lags behind.
Two Handed Fighter.
Stepping forward as far as possible
and with both fists thrust outwar as
in an attitude of fighting, he said his
party was led by the greatest two
handed fighter which ever espoused
the cause of new organization.
(Cheers.)
Although he had been traduced, and
vilified he was the greatest leader in
the cause of humanity. In mention
ing Taft be said that ne was the most
pitiful political figure In all history.
