 My Dear Friends; I think I have the ! right to call you so, as 1 have lived my life and fought my battles amongst you. We ccEle to you tonight on the eve of he closing of one of the great est presidential campaigns since the year 1860. Many questions of great importance are submitted tC you for your answer; the answers to these questions will settle the form of our future government. We are represent ing a permanent party with perma- nent policy and we believe in progress sion. Let me give an illustration to show that progression is one of our governments main parts. Many Of our great judges and other prominent men were the sons of poor men, and many% of them are sons of immigrants. The girls who worked in the mills when was boy have now grown up. Their children have received proper educa tiOn and today are amongst our great ministers, priests, doctors, lawyers, teachers and other men of fame That is what the children of immigrants and poor Workingmen have become. or t0t T publican party. They have fostered it by the protective tariff We fling open wide the gate of opportunity to the young men of today who wish to ad- vance themselves.
 Our Workmen in Better Conditions.
 The chairman then introduced as the next speaker John Eccles, republican candidate for representative. He said in part:
 Fellow Citizens: I have seen mills in this country grow up from small be- ginntngs. Let us pass now over the water to the European countries and there see the great difference in wages paid to workingmen. I have been there a number of times and am acquainted with the wage scales there. We live in better circles than the European
  to live in the houses they live in. They come over here, make money and then go back to their old homes to live high, I am trying to show you that We are well off as we are. Other politicians are endeavoring to tell you and make you believe that if the tariff was reduced living would be cheaper. If a change is made I want you to mo- tice how much cheaper living will be and you will be greatly disappointed. I wish you would let this government be as it is at the present time, and you would be the better for it. In 1893 Cleveland was elected president The mills of the country went back in their production, many of them closed down, and I was afraid they would go alto- gether. I am especially interested i'll my brother candidates here. Gentle men if you don't elect me as repre- sentative, elect MT. Taft as president and leave me out. thank you for your attention.
 Living Cheap, But No Money. Ashley T. Boon, candidate for rep resentative. was then presented to the audience and he spoke in part as fol- | lows:
 Fellow Citizens: I want to say just a few words to you. For forty years | have been associated with the work | ingman in shop work. 1 acquired my | education in the old white school 1 house over wonder, during the sixties 1 I was raised in Greeneville, and l be- | ileve I know whereof I speak. Since l the sixties the republican party has 1 given you plenty of work and higf wages. When Cleveland was elected we were told that we would have ful | dinner pails. Did we have them? Mine was home, as the mills were closed anC 1 there was no work It is true tha' | living may have been cheaper but d1t | the Workmen have the money to buy | their food? They say that goods arr | cheaper in Great Britain than they art | in the United States. The reason fol | this is that they manufacture th' goods themselves and pay the work ingmen wages that we would starV' with. Men over there are working tp a guinea a week, about five dollars Over here in this country they get $l and S15 a week. What do they conn here for, if not to better themselves Can you find any men in this countr, who are out of employment? Ever! man who wants employment can fint it in our workshops. $
