MIR. ODDIE's ADDRESS
We are on the eve Of a great cam
paign. When the smoke has cleared
away we will all be in harness. pull
ling to carry through the policies Of
the Republican party. I don't need
TO tell you that the consensus of opin-
ion everywhere throughout the coun-
try, throughout the United States, IL
that Harding and Coolidge will be
elected.
The hand writing Is on the wall.
You know there is a great balance Of
power in this country. a great body Of
intelligent. thinking people who
swing from one side to the other.
When an administration Is In power
and conducts itself In an improper
manner, that great balance OF power
swings back and puts In another ad-
ministration providing the people are
convinced that II will do the right
thing, and that the candidates will do
the right thing by them. and that is
what will be done this time. II the
representatives of the people have
not conducted themselves properly.
II is up to the people to put them out.
We are not narrow minded in these
things. We want to look at them as
they are. We must face the condi-
tons. Now. that that condition Is
present, II IL the duty of every man
and woman to look IL squarely in the
face, to analyze the situation. to look
up the record of the administration.
to look up the record thecandidate.
to look up the record of the body
which Is seeking to obtain power.
The present administration Is about
to give an account of its stewardship.
The Republican party is about to
show the people of the country that
It will correct the faults of the past
Administration. You know that par
ties are necessary. They are a neces-
sary part of the great machinery Of
government. and public opinion can
best be expressed through political
parties. Now. to-day. there are two
great questions that separate the par
ties.
The first IL protection. The Re-
publicans want q protective tariff.
The Democratic party opposes 1t on
every ground. They say that the
tarifY is q Joke. Now. we want to see
about that. We want to reach into
the very vitals OF this question.
Coming down to the question Of a
protective tarif. / want to say at
the start that we In mining camps
are apt to think a little too much OF
our own affairs, the affairs of mining
exclusively. without considering the
Affairs Of other industries. We are
not SO apt to realize that farming and
live stock interests are vitality import
ant. and when those industries are
not prosperous the mining industry
will not be prosperous. The three
basic industries OF the State are min
ings live stock raising and agriculture
II any of these suffer all will suffer.
They are just like wheels In a great
machine. II they are all prosperous.
the machine works well and smoothly.
II one breaks, the machine stops and
all are injured. Do you realize that
the live stock industry and the agri-
cultural industry affect the merchant.
the professional man and the mechan-
&c vitality. Look at It this way:
When the purchasing power of the
people is normal or high, every one
is prosperous and happy. When 1t Is
low or below normal every industry
will suffer.
You realize that eight years ago
when the Democratic party came into
power the Underwood tariff law was
passed. You realize what happened.
Right after that tariff law went into
eject over a million men were out OF
employment and many of them were
failroad men. There was a depres-
sion everywhere. Industries closed
down and the people were sick. Then
something happened that was un-
