the future for the effects which nre-
sent conditions may produce.
What are the conditions in our
state today, with reference to govern.
mental affairs? We know that our
taxes are too high; we know. in a gen.
eral way tina our government is he.
ing administered largely as an argan.
izatlon for the dispensation of polit.
zeal patronage, and that unjust and
oppressive laws have been placed ur,
on our statute books; but few of us.
perhaps, realize the seriousness of
these things.
IL we wish to get aclear under
sctanding of the real conditions which
exist in our state, we must examine
the political machine which is in con
troll of our government. and through
its long accumulation of lower and a
multitude of office-holders is today
challenging the rights of the people to
govern themselves.
TO give a history of this machine
would require too much time in a.
speech of this kind. We know that if

head at Charleston and its strong
arms reaching nut into every county
and district of the state"

Public Service Commission and de.
clared that today we are confronted
with a. partisan commission with all
Its vast and extensive poyers." The
same is true of the State Board of
Control, he said, and he declared that
the result is, taken altogether, that
we have in this state a pawerful polit-
zeal machine, strongly entrenched in
power, and determined to retain con.
troll OF the government regardless of
the will of the people," Continuing.
he said:
The mining department OF the
state is another potent factor in this
organization, the influence of which is
hard to estimate"
That this is true, the record of the
present state administration proves
beyond any reasonable doubt. If we
consider that record we will find that
this machine which has existed for
years in the state and has been grow
ing stronger every year, with its ac-
emulation OF office-holders and in.
cFeases in salaries, has finally become
SO bold and powerful that it stands
forth brazenly defying the rights of
the people in demanding of them
tribute, in order that the means may
be supplied for it's operation. Thus

This brings us to consider the

III part senator french SAID.
Men who have never been Demo-
Gratis everywhere openly declare that
woodrow Wilson is good enough for
them. and this year they are going to
vote for him, and with him the whole
Democratic ticket The people of
this country know, my friends, tina,
our great President has never waver-
ed in his devotion to their. Interest;
They know that his wisdom has guild.
ed the old Ship of State safely over
the troubled seas of international com
pIcations that have broken upon us
during the past two years. They
know that his high sense of justice
ard his firm stand for the principles
and rights of humanity, under the
most trying conditions that ever exis-
ted in all the history of mankind, has
won for him the respect and admira-
alton of all the nations of the world.
They know that while all the great
nations across the seas are pouring
out their blood like water in the most
terrific struggle that ever afpflicted
the human race, with their lands de-
wasted, their homes destroyed, and
their women and children starving or
begging for bread, that in this land
OF ours we have peace. plenty and
prosperity. They know, too, that
Woodrow Wilson has refused to be
stampeded by the appeals of the tn
sterical and that the taunts and crit
icisms of politicians and oyer-zealous
partisans have broken about him like
the sea foam that beats and breaks
upon the granite walls of Gibralter.
How long the blessings of peace
may smile upon us in these perilous
times, no one can say But should
the day come when peace with honor
can no longer be maintained, then
there will stand united behind our
President hundred million of the
brayest people that ever lived in the
tide of time.
The peop-e of this country know,
too, my friends, that a Democratic
Congress has in three short years
placed upon the Statute books of our
nation more constructive legislation
for their welfare, happiness and pros
perity, than was ever before enacted
In any decade in the history of the

Appeal to Democrats.

With the smaller political par
ties slain by the cruel manipulations
of this political tyrant; with the doo,
closed and barred against the en-
trance of any new or Independent par
ty or ticket; with the once pround Re.
publican Party with all its history OF
forgotten, and now re-
duced to state OF abiect slavery and
made to yield itself and its fair NAM,
to the unrighteous service of this po-
litical machine, the people are turning
with anxious hearts to that party
which has never betrayed them, and
has always been their friend. From
the intolerable conditions which exist
III our State, there is no hope of re-
left save through the Democratic Par
ty, that party into whose very being
the spirit of freedom and of Inde-
pendence was breathed by its first
great leader, Thomas Jefferson, and
reflected in our great President and
leader, Woodrow Wilson.
"Oh, my countrymen Are you
dreaming Of liberty in a State that is
no longer free? Do the shackles or
tyranny rest so lightly upon you that
you feel not their weight? win you
yield your neck supinely to the OPP
pressor's yoke, and leave to your
children heritage of political servi-
tude? God forbid! No; the people OF
this State viii never submit to being
disfranchised and robbed of their lib
critics; they will never yield to the.
Lyrapt's hand of oppression; but next
November the light of new day will.
break upon US, the motto of our.
State shall be indicated, and the
whole world shall know that noun.
taineers are always free"

on election day, but they have wiped
out the law which made it an offense
to vote under an assumed or fictitious
name, so that names may be given
them as they vote, and that they may
vote as many times as is deemed nee.
essary in order to override the will
OF the people and keep the control
of the Government in the hands OF
this political machine.
Like giant. rousing himself from
slumber, and finding himself bound
and fettered by his enemies, so the
people of this State are arousing
themselves from their peaceful
dreams of liberty and freedom, to
find their Government in the grasp
of powerful organization, which
challenges the right of the people to
rule, and lays upon them the heavy
hand of oppression.
