HOBSQN HERE SATURDAY "My countrymen, you are living In the presence of war. Just as sure as the sun rises, 4 unless America prepares we 4 will have war with Japan." 4 "American manufactured 4 4 articles are sold In foreign 4 4 countries for from 60 lo 75 4 4 per cent less than they are 4 4 sold for here." 4 4 "There never was a run on 4 4 a bank in the history of Can- 4 4 ada." 4 4 Some of the remarkable 4 4 statements made by Captain 4 4 Hobson In his speech jester- 4 4 day afternoon. 4 4 4 444444444 444444444 Captain Richmond Pearson Hob- son addressed the people of Medford yesterday afternoon In the City Park. There was a fair-sized crowd present to hear blm discuss the political is sues of the day, and in addition to that, Captain Hobson devoted about one-half ot his speech to bis pet hobby the need of a larger army and navy and the capturing of the United States by the Japanese. The speaker was Introduced by Judge W. S. Crowell In an eloquent and well-delivered speech, which was listened to with the closest attention. He stated that be bad voted for Mr. Roosevelt four years ago, but that he was going to vote for Mr. Bryan this election. He began by stating It was folly to say that the Democrats could do nothing In case Mr. Bryan was elect ed and then to claim that if he were the country would go to pot. He then devoted some ot his attention to state rights and claimed that what the Magna Charter was to Great Britain the constitution was to the United States aud the American peo ple. In Mexico and South American countries it was a one-man power, while here It is the party who has and exercises the power of govern ment. Captain Hobson advised his bear ers that there was always only two great parties, and it was the duty of the voters to stay by one or the other of them, otherwise they would only be throwing away their votes and would accomplish no good. He claimed that there were about 5,000,000 Democrats and about 5, 000,000 Republicans In the United States. Then there were about 3, 000,000 Independent voters, and out ot that number about 1.000,000 could be Influenced either by the newspa pers or 'with the use of money. This 1,000,060, he claimed, should not have the franchise. In a splendid hurst of riotous In dignation the captain exclaimed: "If I knew that my party was using money to influence the election I would cast my vote for the other party." Uncle" Joe Cannon came in for a severe roast for not allowing Cap tain Hobson and other bright lights to speak when they pleased and to take up all the time they wanted in telling about the Japanese and other foreign people coming over and cap turing the United States In the near future. After roasting the sneaker to a finish the captain gave his opinion re garding the Increase in the cost of living and made the claim that this had Increased 55 per cent In the last few years. This was all owing to the Republican party and President Roosevelt. He also attempted to show how much better off the people were in the old country where they were blessed with free trade. The balance of the captain's speech was devoted to telling the peo ple of the great danger this country was In from the powerful Japs and hew the Anglo-Japanese alliance made It not only possible, but prob able, that in a very short space of time England, Canada and Japan would Jump on the helpless Ameri can nation, make the American peo ple grovel In the dust and then hold them as slaves for ever more. At this point In Captain Hobson's oration a Jnp In the audience, who was evidently a spy In the employ of the Japanese government, hustled away and around the next corner, evidently In tear that he would be lynched. The captain claimed that President Roosevelt and the Republican party were responsible for not having a larger army and navy. He said that the Democrats would greatly Increase both If they were elected to power. He wanted two powerful navies one on the Pacific and one on the Atlan tic oceans, and then an army that could and would defy the whole world.
