DEMOCRATS ARE
KEEPING PACE

ter's arraignment of the republican
party and its leadership, I cannot
take issue with anything said by him
concerning the genral tenor and eff
feet of the Underwood tariff law. On
the contrary, l say that he is to be
commended for his action with re-
spect to that law, if that action was
founded on, broad and statesmanlike
convictions. trust that I might have
the courage and the patriotism to act
in like manner under like circum-
stances. 1 cannot understand, however,
if his views at that time were really
founded on conviction, how he can
square his action and his declaration
now with his conviction them"
Continuing, Judge Turner said:
II approve and heartily commend
the administration of the affairs of
this state by our splendid young gov
ernor, Ernest Lister. The expenses of
state government have been high, but
they have been high because of impro-
vldent legislation and extravagant ap-
preparation by the republican legisla-
ture. A balance Of a million and
half dollars in the state treasury to-
day, saved out of those extravaganza
appropriations, attest the wise pru-
dence and economy with which he
has conducted public affairs in the in
terests of the over-burrened taxpay-
ers OF the state. i heartily approve
and commend the administration of
the nation, by that wise, prudent, far
seeing statesman and great patriot
and great American, Woodrow Will
son. If elected to the senate, I will
uphold his hands in the constructive,
legislation which has been
lnaugurated under his wise direction |
and from which SO much is to be ex-
pected in social, industrial and eco
nomlc betterment. approve his con-
duct OF our foreign relations during
the critical period thru which the
nation has been passing. believe he
mas brought us thru in Europe and
Mexico with honor to the nation, and
las secured measurably the just rights
If our people, and all our essential
interests, in a manner that could not
lave been bettered by sacrifice of
million of the lives of our young
nen, and the expenditure of ten bill
ion OF our material treasures"
Mr.. Turner, who was formerly
hartman of the state progressive
ommittee, made a plea to former
'rogressives to align themselves with
ne democratic party, saying that
Practically all of the governmental .
eforms for which the progressives .

rats.
Last evening Mr.. Goodyear, the |,
