Toozo lMcads Vnlty. At the termination of remarks by the mayor, Mr. Toozo addressed thu meeting and complimented tho Jack son county organization highly on the xcellent attendance and tho record which It has made during tho past few years. Mr. Tooze pleaded for party unity and for thorough organization and lotnted out thu Imminent danger .-onl'routlnK the state In the enmpaign wo years hence, should a democratic governor ho elected, lie wurncd bis audience that should this, occur that all republican statu employees would likely bo removed from office and bat should a vacancy occur in the United Ktates senate that n democrat would be appointed by the governor fill the plnco, thereby misrepre senting the statu of Oregon nt the scs sions of thu national legislative body. Mr. Toozo said: "The democratic candidate for governor Is so saturated with the desire to bo governor of the state of Oregon, that bo will promise nythlng under the sun, which he thinks will bring him votes." Mr. I'ooze also called attention to the boasts being made by the ilemocrnll leaders that Mr. l'lerce bad ft walk away in tno election tills fall, owing to an apparent disaffection among the republicans, and nsked those present If they proponed to "fall" for this ,worn out and much-repudiated democratic game. Knfnrce Dry ljnw. 1 he speaker delivered a speech which bore littlo similarity to the old time political speech with Its atten dnnt pyrotchnlcs and spectacular and extravagant enthusiasm. When ho got fairly started be launched a. treatise on good citizenship and niado each member of tho audience feel that It was IiIh duty to use bis right of franchise, to take moro Interest In politics and to vote only after bnvlng Intelligently Informed himself. 1 urged that real citizens aid the en forcement or all laws and scored the man who prates of good citizenship and yet watches other men In the act of violating n section ef Iho constitu tion. Ho stated that although many may net like the Volstead law, nnd that although be, himself, thought that some change. was necessary, that tho best way to Ret lid of a bad law Is to enforce It. ImlciMniilcnts Scored. Following his statement of his con victions regarding citizens who made no effort to assist in enforcing the laws of the country, he expressed bis disapproval of a "half-baked" democrat or reijubllcan nnd desig nated such n person as one of "little principle." He then expressed his disgust In no uncertain terms for the "Independent" and branded him n person of "no principle at .nil." The speaker then explained that man who registers republican democrat at the primaries nnd wiio then votes another ticket nt the final election was even lower, in his esti mate, than the members of the above mentioned species of voters. He de clared that members ef any county committee who could not pledge wnoie-iieartefl support to the pnrtv ticket from top to bottom nnd who proffered their support to a move ment which "eats from the inside" were a detriment to the republican party nnd therefore to iho nation. which the party stands for. He also stated that, as there could be no more than two sides to any public question, that two political parties were all that were necessary nnd all that could exist. He urged. "Not less politics, but more attention to politics." and staU'd that there Is no zone of twilight In politics hut that "right is right nnd wrong Is wrong In politics as well as anvwhere else." He st at is! that only two men who he had voted for at the primaries were now en the republican ttrkrt. but that he would vote the ticket straight through and that If he rtuild I do it and If Pep" Oatcs nnd Hert : Anderson could do it that other good j republicans could do It. I In closing Mr. Tooze urged Jsck i son county republicans to get behind him to the limit and help the repub j hian party to a victory In the fall, te ; remember that "right makes might" and to do their duty as they saw It. j Ikit Anderson Talk. IVrt Anderson took the fbior at the termination of Mr. Tooze s address and started with the remark that he didn't knew what he was going to say. that be was "Just simply a re publican." and that be had an en- during affection for men who could , stale truthfully th.lt thev wfre. i Mr. Anderson then launched Into a rehearsal of campaigns In Jackson county since the institution of a repub lican organization In llt. When he warmed up to his subject the interest of the audience kept par with him sought tho Bubornntorlftl chair. He branded I'utiinm'a Btutementa of those tlmos iib Hob and Blated that both men wore defeated by large majorities In Jackson county iib a rosult of them. Emotional Debauches Ho told how, In a paat campaign, "Kolly nnd Noff stumped the county and Kelly would work the crowd up to a state of mind that would cause them 10 murder their republican neighbors nnd thon Noff would come along nnd move them to a point of tours." He doslgnated these meetings as "emo tional dabniichcB." Mr. Anderson stilt- 011 during his speech that lie did not wIbIi to IndiilKo In personalities and that the men mentioned by him were men of ability and brains hut that he thought tho nuillenco should know "Tho sumo old bunch is horning in again nnd la playing tho same old Kumo." Ho Rtnted that whllo Kolly nnd Noff nnd Canon furnlshod the bruins for the damaging canipaiRna, that Putnam fur nlshod tho "slime and dirt." Ho told of challenges Issued by Kelly nnd Neff Inviting the republicans to open (lobiito nnd stated" that he had to admit thut tho republican organization bore hurt no man that could cope with them nlong that, line. The only mnn who ncoopted the chnllenge wns W. W. Trunx, who nccopted nnd is reputed to hnvo debuted nt.Moonvlllo. Mr. Ander son said he did not nttend tho contost nB ho wns nrrnld of defeut.
