HENRY PRAISES
MAYOR HAUSSL|NG
Continued from First rase9


duty as American citizens to judge
carefully and honestly of the men
that we are to vote for one week from
tomorrow.
1T believe in reviewing the records
of any party and of every candidate
fairly and honestly and in a spirit of
charity. l believe in making due al
lowances for imperfections We all
know that human nature Is weak and
sometimes wrong is committed unin-
tentionally, but when 1t is committed
without any evil of heart our criti-
clsms should not be so severe as when
1t is committed Intentionally and will
fully. When a mans character is
gone everything is gone.
'"There are many important offices
| to be filled at the coming election.
One is that of your mayor. There Is
| a candidate for this position who is
here tonight, your friend and my
| friend, the Honorable Jacob Hauss-
ling.
This gathering tonight, composed
as IL is of men of character and intel
| ligence, is conclusive evidence of the
| falsity of the declaration that some
of the mayors enemies have made
| that only 'drunkards and loafers' in
tend to vote for him.
Best Elements for HaussiinE.
MY experience leads me to believe
that there is not community any
where on this globe where loafers
are in the majority, and / do not be-
| lieve that there is any place on earth
where 'drunkards' are in the major
| ity, and I do not believe that there
| is any place in the world where the
| combined vote of such men would
make a majority. My experience
leads me to believe that the drunk
ards and loafers' represent a very
small percentage in any community
"Inasmuch as the mayor has been
elected time and time and time again,
| not only by large majorities. this is
| the best evidence that the best ele-
ment has been with him and intend
| to stand by him.
$50 far as Mr.. Raymond or any
other candidate is concerned, have
nothing OF a personal character to say
about them. care nothing about Mr..
Raymond's private affairs, and IL
could speak i'll OF him l would not do
so. His private affairs Is his private
property. AS he is now a candidate
for public office, his record Is not pri-
vate property. His record as public
man is legitimate subject for dis
! cussion.
Raymond Cannot He Independent.
''Now, Mr.. Raymond claims that
if elected he will reduce taxation, and
/ think that is the only utterance
that he has made. Some of his
friends have gone further than he
has. They have claimed that he is an
independent, and, II elected, we will
have non-partisan administration.
Mr.. Raymond made fight at the
Republican primaries. If he was an
independent then surely those Repub-
Leans who voted for him were sadly
deceived. He stands as an out-and-
out Republican candidate, and it is
false to say that he is an independent
candidate.
IF he should be elected would the
| taxes he reduced2
'In 1904, in March, Mr.. Raymond
was appointed judge of the First
District Court, and he displaced as
| fine a gentleman and as excellent a
| Judge as ever sat on q bench, Judge
Elwood C. Harris. Why was Judge
| Harris displaced? 1t was not because
| the bar did not want him: not be-
cause he did not do his duty but
merely because Mr.. Raymond should
have a job.
"In March, 1904, Mr.. Raymond was
appointed, and on the twenty-eighth
| of that month a bill became a law
which increased the salary of the
! judge of the district court from $4,000
| to $4,000 per year. That law in
creased the judges salary only three
| DAYS before Mr. Raymond assumed
the duties Of Judge. During his term
he held court three days per week
! While was hudge Of the other court
