Conditions similar to these which
we now enjoy have existed before on
the eve of election and when the peo-
pie voted for change they got it,
but It was not for the better. Busi-
ness became paralyzed Labor walk
ed the highway looking for work and
things generally went to the bad. This
was no fancy but the actual fact.
What we need to do at the COM
ing election is to put men in office
who will serve the people and not
forget that a public Office is a public
trust Our business conditions are
sound now. so let us make our poliu-
cal conditions to correspond
Il would remind you that the solu-
tions OF the problem OF government
must depend upon putting into Office
men who will conserve the interests
OF the people Methods without pro-
per officials to administer them will
avail nothing and any form of gov
ernment OF itself will not produce
good results unless the officials have
honesty Of purpose Behind these Of
ficlals theer must be men willing to
back them up. strengthen them and
be ready TO do their part to see that
the state is living up TO its opportun-
files.
Government is "a thing to live
under and not 70 live upon and when
YOU have an official who is honestly
trying to do his duty, Il is your duty
20 come forward and lend your sup
port, encouragement and assistance,
and IL you find an official who does
not live up to the obligations of the
Office he occupies see to IL that pub

elected governor It shall be my aim
TO give to the state an administration
which the people without distinction
as to party can endorse and approve
Vale Refers 10 Roosevelt.
Mr.. Vale began his address by say
ing that the nation is appalled, and
stands aghast with horror because
maniac has stricken down a candidate
for President He said no man can
but admire the fortitude Of the VIC
tim who stood unconcerned In the
face of death and no man Of religious
Temperament can but join In the
prayer that Colonel Roosevelt be re-
stored to health and yigor
Mr.. Vale continued the major por-
flon of his remarks to the tariff and
declared that in the past, as we'll as
IA the future low tariff or free
trade had resulted in business depres-
sion. whereas high tariff had resulted
fn great industrial activities.
In speaking Of the present campaign
Mr. Vale said.
"The momentous significance OF this
campaign cannot be exaggerated. All
rejecting minds must be profoundly
Impressed with its import. The Wis
dom of our time proven system OF
revenue Is assailed. and the perma-
nance OF constitutional representa-
tive democracy trembles In the bal
ance The validity OF the doctrine OF
protection to American industries and
American labor is not only chal-
ienged by the cry OF tariff for revenue,
but for the first time in the history
of American politics. It is assailed by
a presidential candidate who avows
his belief in the efficacy Of free trade.
The constitution of our fathers not
only seems no longer to be rever-
enced by some of the sons, but for the
first time in the history of the world
is it proposed 20 abolish the restraints
and limitations which the wisdom OF
the ages has placed upon the will Of
Sovereignty.
This avowal Of radical belief in a
doctrine fraught with such peril TO
national prosperity from a candidate
SO pre-eminent may well be viewed
with alarm. alike by American maun-
facturers and American workingmen.
ANY change whatever which Is
proposed i'm the fundamen.al princi-
pies that constitute the Foundation
upon which our republic IS builded
should be examined with scrutiny

Wilson on Foreigners.
In referring TO the candidacy o
Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Vale read tina
section of Wilson's book: History q
4he American People as follows;
Now there came mulutudes G
men of the lowest class from th
south of Italy and men of the meane
sort out of Hungary and Poland, me
out of the ranks where there wa
neither skill nor energy nor any IN

from year to year. as if the countri'
