If@04 ~ = @ $500 EfW-TT2 49,
sided over many deliberations but |
do not recall when ! have had more
pleasure than now.
Il have always thought there were
good men in the Republican party; !
have never believed that the Demo-
cratic party contained all of the sane
tity and Virture. | know there are
good, true, patriotic men in the Re-
publican party. When men like ! see
before me act as they have today
/ am frank to say ! am willing to help,
follow or lead such men. AS a mem
her of the committee of nine ] had
the full opportunity to see how loyal
you were to the national ticket, to
your. state ticket but also how indie
pendent you were when you would not
submit to the outrage perpetrated on
you and your party, (Cheers.)
Two Parties Are Necessary
ut Is necessary there be two po-
litical parties. ], for one, would like
to see them so balanced that neither
would be able to run rough-shod over
the minority or the peoples interests.
] have lived among you some eight
years and ! number some of my warm
est friends here. We have met here
to throw off the yoke of oppression
hanging SO heavily on people Of this
grand county" (Applause.) why
has it been so strong? Because things
we're unevenly divided; because their
majority was so great they did not
fear. AS weak as / ana sick man
| don't begin to tremble as much as
your court house ring does today!
(Applause).
New Day Has 5aWned
"a new day has dawned for the
good people, for the oppressed people,
for the d~owntrodden people of this
county. | am frank to confess to you
that-my home pride would prevent
me from making a statement outside
my home people, had seriously
doubted the safety of life, liberty and
property under the rule we have been
living. These are things we wish to
correct when certain people are so
powerful they can purchase juries and
buy verdicts and indict you at their
pleasure, and grant relief solely on
condition you sink SO low as to do
their bidding and lower not only your
independence but also your own self
respect. The wonder to me is before
this day you have not risen up as you
do now.
1.-THE Democratic convention rati-
fled with as much enthusiasm your
nominees as our own. Every mem
Der we presented to you was nomi-
mated in our convention by acclama-
tion and Pm glad to hearlfrom Mr..
Davies that the same enthusiasm was
shown here, (Applause.)
Need Of Eternal Vigilance
There is only n thing we need
keep in mind and that is the old
maxim eternal vigilance We must
not let this interest and enthusiasm
lag for one minute. We know what
we are going up against-unlimited
money, INSCRIPTIONS men who would
not hesitate to browbeat or to bride
their results. We may have a poor
one among us. For Gods sake / say
to such: Suffer privation, resist
temptation, endure %hardships but bear
It and we will get Independence in our
personal and property rights
Il have more to say and | hope to
say it In the campaign. Let every one
stand together, going out hunting newt
converts, telling them of the freedom
and opportunity this occasion pre-
sents. And when the ballots are
counted-and they Will be counted,
and no monkey business goes this
time, daughter and applause) we
want a fair count. If they beat us
fairly we will take our medicine, but.
my friends, l tell you now we will
give the medicine" daughter and
cheers.)
"HIeh-handed Criminals"
