talked like Sam Blythe writes-plain
earnest.
In concluding his remarks, Mr.
White endorsed the action of the
Democratic congress and curtailins
the appropriation for battleships He
also declared that the Democratic
house had passed more remedica
legislations than any previous body
of Republicans. He brought home
the truth in this statement and prov
ed it. 1t was good.
Senator White talked to consider
able length on the tariff question, ex
planning carefully the doctrine of dem
ocracy and the remedies looked fol
in case of the election of Mr.. viii
son. He declared the high protec
tive rates did not protect and pointed
out for example the single manu-
facturers of the state of Washington
Congressman Williams dwelt tc
some length upon the conflict be
tween Mr.. Taft and Roosevelt. While
he did not say SO in plain words, hi
conveyed the meaning of the hope
less struggle of both gentleman. II
Is a fight, he said, between them
as to who will bob" up four years
hence. The Republicans wish to kl
for all time to come, the hope and
ambitions of the Progressives. The,

ers Of Mr. Taft, want Theodore down
and out. That's their aim, and viii.
undoubtedly be their gan.
Party Slang
In humorous vein, Mr. Williams
referred to the mud singing" OF
both the Republican and Progressivl
party, said that the Democrats had
never used such language in thei
campaigns of such nature. and If the
had. they would have been driven
from the country. The idea that "all is
fair in love and war;" don't seen
to work two ways, and as a result,
the Democrats tried as best they
could to be on the safe side.
Thieves, liars, and other endearin
terms are used very carelessly," said
the speaker. Whether the author OF
such remarks is thoroughly familiar
with the meaning of such words, |
know not. 1t is foreign to our cause,
and fortunately we are able to get
along without them. We never used
such words because we didn't know
Evidently both the Progressives and
Republicans know one another, and
we take it-for granted they are tell
ing the truth"
Government Of the People
After going much in detail in an
alyzing the issues of the campaign
and explaining the real meaning OF
Democracy, which he said was get
ting the government back into the
hands of the people, MI William.
said that the election of Wilson means
the revival of Jeffersonian simplicity
1t means that the people will gov
ern and that the money power viii
be destroyed. Harkinf hank to ~
time of Jefferson, Mr.. Williams said
that the trainers Of the constitution
were in a sense aristocrats. They did
not fully believe in the rule of the
people, hence the creation of the
electoral college and the legislative
and judicial branches CT the govern
ment. The electoral college in its
original sense had the power If T.
chose to select it's own President and
ignore the choice of the people. Such
action in this day. however, would
lead to anarchy. The judiciary was
away from the people and in the
hands of the President to appoln
and the legislative body like the up
per house of congress, was simply 3
private club of millicnaires. Is

Not Of the People.
Mr.. Williams said that the people
do not own or control the post office
branch of the govern ent; the rail
roads own the p'stoffices; the people
have no voice in the navy depart.

Wilson Pledged
After saying that Woodrow Wilson
was pledged to clean out and disin-
feet all of these departments and
that there would be reign of pure
Democracy, Williams took up the cud
