The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1914-10-10

against him by many Wayne county
Republicans that he had employed
unfair tactics in securing the nominal
ton from Judge Comstock of this city.
Il come to Richmond with no malice
toward anyone" said Mr.. Lynch, mo
matter how unjustly they may have
assailed me. | come here with Christ
ian charity toward all. l come with
no harsh words on my lips and my
heart bubbling over with good will
He then referred to the fact that he
had come into this life with the handi-
cap of poverty, being the youngest OF
the ten children of poor Irish family.
His father died when he was youth
and his mother then took her large
brood from "the little dream island
off the West English coast" to the
America of golden opportunities.
1.-The teachings learned at my
mothers knee have been the guiding
principles of my life, and if l have
been fairly successful | owe all to her.
| can at least say that on the White
marble of my manhood there is no
STAIN the speaker exclaimed fervent-
ly.
Mr. Lynch then accused the Demo
cratic state administration of eXtrava-
He said the last Democratic legisla-
ture had cost the people Of Indiana
$500 more day than any Republican
assembly in the history of the state
and that now We find that our treas
ury is empty and that the Democrats
have borrowed S6S0,0o0. He predicted
that the Republicans would carry the
state by plurality ranging from
GO, 1000 to 10000 and he said he knew
| whereof he spoke because he had
been out on the firing line for several
weeks.
Mr.. Lynch concluded his address by
| praising the county ticket OF the Re
publicans. There never was ticket
| in this or any other county of the state
more deserving of your support than
the ticket the Wayne Republicans are
offering this year. Every man on it is
clean, outstanding and capable and
everyone of them will be elected
He added that he was not posing as
a political reformer or a political lead
err. Il am just an outstanding, courage
Gus Republican, and if you elect me
won't be a political freak but just an
old fashioned Republican and faith
full and trustworthy public servant he
said.
/ In speaking of Democratic extrava-
gances Mr.. Mckinley said in part:
Nations that follow reasonable
courses get good results. This is
just the same as in the case of indi-
viduals. The United States has done
much to advance prosper1ty-leglsla-
ton did much of it.
Zone of the fruitful questions OF
legislation is that of revenue. Let
us regard the country as great bust
ness organization and the government
as an agency conducting its affairs
a board of directors, if you please.
ut takes much money to run the
affairs of the country, and the rails
ing of this money causes deep con-
Germ. Two years ago the Republicans
spent $1,O7O,OO0,0OO, and the Demo
Gratis said it was too great; that the
government ought to carry on the
business much more economically.
Let's see how it was spent:
"The postoffice department took
nearly $30O,0OO,OO0; the naval bill
generally takes S150,O0O00o: the civil
government s11o,0OO,OO0; public build
ings, S4O,OO0,OOO; the rivers and har-
bors, $4,000. 600 and the agricultural
bill 100000.
Receipts from the postoffce de-
partment usually lack ten or fifteen
millions of reaching the approximate
$3O0,OO00O0 spent; internal revenue
brought in about 1895, 900: the
administration of justice about $780,
600 and the sale of public lands about
$50,0OO.000 while the federal corpora
ton tax brought about $30.000,0 600.
This left behind s35,000,000 for Re-
publican administrations to raise.
"The Democrats raised an awful
howl about that $1.O7O,000, 900. but
they have spent this year $1,116,00o,
900 and they are not through. They
are still contemplating the expendi-
ture of $1O0,O0O,0OO, which will make
their expenses more than $200,0O0,O0
per year than it was under the Re-
publican administration.
1--WE always had enough money to
go around by raising it in legitimate
manner, and when we quit, left $780,
100000 in the treasury for the Demo
Gratis to begin on. And now the
Democrats are asking for special
tax to raise part of the money to run
the government. Heretofore it has
been raised by duty on goods brought
