RALLY BIG ONE
FULTON MAKES STRONG ADDRESS
J. L. Ctrte r aud S, ii. Tate Also Speak
on Lead In I? Issni of Campaign
to Knthiislavtlc Andlrnre.
Under the auspices of tbe Hood
River Taft and Sherman club Senator
Cbas. W. Fulton ppoke to a larRe au
dienoe in the opera bouse Wednesday
evening. Tbe addrei ot Mr. Fulton
was a strong, logical and loroeful one
based on policies that originated and
have been put in sooessful operation
by the rephlioarj party, and which, be
proved by oonvioing aiguments, have
been largely resposlble for toe pros
perity of tbe oountiy.
I be meeting opened at a o ciock
and was presided over by J. L. Carter,
pre-tident of tbe Tatt and Snerman
club, aud republioan member of tbe
state legislature from this district.
Mr. Carter made a short address aud
tben, in a few well chosen words, in
troduced J. U. Tate, a well known lo.
osl speaker who formerly lived in Mr.
Uryan a home town, Lincoln, Nebras
ka In his opening remarks Mr. Tate
called attention to the beneflclent in
fluences of a protective lurltf in tbe
United States saying tbat bo was
born in the manufacturing districts of
Kugland and tbht previous to tlio time
tbat tbe tariff was put into elfeot on
steel rails that the great plants nianu
faouring them the.re employed thous
ands of men at good wages and sold
their product to this country at a
hint) figure. After the protectee thr
ift was put into ettect aud the manu
facture of this product whs com
menced in this country many oi the
lactones in England were compelled
to close, and wages went down, and
bad remained so. Tbe tarilf he argued
was one ot the greatest blessings to
tbe working man in this country tbat
bad evei been put into elfeot. lu le
gal d to, Mr. L'ry ail's aspiiaicnsto be
president tbe speaker said tbat be
bad lived for several years within a
few blocks of the talkative democratic
leadei and knew him personally very
well. That in rogard to Mr. Liryau
as a man be bad nottiing to say. lie
belived bim to be morally a good mail
aud knew bim to be a good neighbor,
but as a oa nil date for tbe greatest
ottice lu the gift ot tbe peope be was
impossiplo. He was a poser in tbe
limelight seeking tbe plaudits of the
multitude. In tbe tbree campaigns
in which be bad essayed to lead tbe
people to a new land of poltloal prom
ise tbe issues tbat he bad promulgated
and espoused were dangerous, im
practicable, skin deep in their wis
doro and flung brcadoast ovei tbe land
to oatcb tbe vote of the unthinking
and discontentd. Ilia vacllatina
course in hopping from one perch to
another in bis vain endeavor to strike
an issue tbat would oatob enough of
the popular vote to land bim tbe pres
identtal chair was both ridioulous
and pathelio. In this respect tbe
speaker said he bad obbserved tbat
bis last stand In t tie three times that
be bas essayed to be president was al
ways to declare tbat a great corrup
tion fund was being rained to buy the
vote of the American people away
from bim. Tbe announcement from
tbe veteran presidential campaigner
bad been delayed a little longer tbia
time, tbat in previous years, but as
be bad eApectod, it came a few days
ago. lie iienevea a statement ot inis
kind on tbe part or Mr. bryan oi any
one else was au Insult to the 1 tell l
genae and honesty of the American
voter and implied that it votes were
bought they must'be deaiooratio votes
as Mr. liryau was not a oadidate on
tbe republioan ticket. In conclusion
the speaker snid be didn't think tbat
tbe American people were going to
elect a man to tbe presidency they
bad twice repudiated for bis danger
ous policies aud instability and pre
dicted an overwhelming victory lor
Taft.
The introduction of Senator Fulton,
wbo i-i not a stranger to Hood Kiver
audiences, called forth a round of
bearty applause. It is about two years
since Oiegon's senior member of tbe
United States senate has spoken bere
aud bis address was listened to with
rapt atti ntion. lie prefaced his ad
dress with an apology for talking poli
tics by telling tbe story of a tramp
wbo bad a man arrested for assaulting
bim. When the judge asked the pris
oner what be had to say in mitigation
for bis oonduot tbe latter stated tbat
tbe tramp came to bis borne and asked
for something to eat aud tbat bis wife
bad given bim the best tbe bouse
attordod, iuoluding tried chicken and
other delicacies. Alter it was put be
fore him the tramp looked it over and
soathingly Inquired if tbat was the
best tbey could do. The piisoner stat
ed that be didn't say anything in re
ply to this as ho didn't want to have
any tiouble. After he bail dovoured
everything In sight the unbidden
guest Insulted tbe prisoner's wife, lie
let this go also as lie didn't want to
have any trouble. The stranger then
reached in bis pocket, drew out a
filthy pipe, loaded it with strong to-
baooo aud put bis feet up on the, able
dirtying the snow white linen tbat
oovered It. Still be didn't say any
thing as he didn't waut to have
trouble. "Finally, however, judge,"
said tbe prisoner, "ho oommeuoed to
talk polltcs aud I got a club and
knocked him down." "Well I don't
blame you," replied tbe judge,
"You're discharged."
The speaker said be wouldn't blame
the audience for net wantlng'to listen
to too much politios, but be felt tbat
there were some very important 1 1-sues
In tbe present campaign tbat tbey
ought to bear discussed. In au able
manner he went buck to tbe llrst prin
ciples of republicanism and democra
oy taking as tbe originators and lead
ers of tbe two great parties Hamilton
and Jefferson. To tbe formei be said
oould be tiaced the great development
of tbe United States, fostered by tbe
policies of the republioan party due
to tbe staud be took tbat tbe coustl
tutlou of tbe United States provided
tor au implication of powers not spe
clUually stated in it. To thin implied
power as enniiiiciHted by Hamilton
aud opposed by Jefferson weie largely
due nil the gieat publio works and
many of tbe laws enacted by tbe re
publican party wbicb bad proved to
be tbe life, bone and sinew of tbe nation.
It was on this account the seotor
said tbat tbe policies of the republic
an party were more in touch with tbe
great Deeds of tbe penplu and tbat
tbelr continuation wae so essential.
In tbe enactment of legislation tc
control tbe trusts be slated tbat every
line tbat was on the statute books was
placed theie under republioan admin
istration, lu this connection be cit
ed the case of tbe Northern Securities
Company which had been dissolved
and restrained from doing business by
tbe United States Supieme Court,
every judge of which, who voted to
sustain the order to abolish this cor
poration was a republican and every
judge wbo voted against it was a dem
ocrat. This, said Fulton, was in ao-
oordanoe with tbe broad view of Ham
ilton, and tbe interpretation of tbe
implied tower in the constitution of
the United States as construed by the
republican party. "And," tbe speak
er added, "this alone is estimated to
ssve tbe shippers of tbe United States
1150,000,001) annually."
Touching ou tbe tarilf, Mi. fulton
said tbat there was no question as to
the wisdom of tbe protective tariff
wbon it was put into eSect and ot its
great beneliti now. It was realized
tbat there weie some items on it that
posslbily needed adjusting and there
was no doubt that it would be revised
so as to conform to tbe best Intel ter
cets ot tbe people. lie said however
tbat notwithstanding tbe fact tbat
there bad beeu a democratic adminis
tration since the orlgnal protective
tarilt was put into etlecl, no radical
attempt was made by the democrats
to alter the provisions of it.
Tbe goverment by injuuotlon plank
inserted in the democratic platform
tbe speaker said was without signifi
cance. Ouriug tbe past four years
there bad beeu only 300 Injuctlous
Issued ky the federal courts in all
parts of the Unted States and only
tweuty of these bad been granted
against labor aud then only when it
was actually necessary to protect life
and property.
"I am not bere to abuse any other
party or the theories of any otber
party," continued the speaker "1
douut not we are all workng for the
best interests of our oountry. I am
not bere to abuse Mr. Biyan. No
doubt be Is a good niau, but it la not
a good man only wbo makes the best
otllclal. 1 do not believe Mr. liryau
Is in any way connected with the
Standard Oil Company, altbougb it

was found uncomfortably close to it.
but let us be fair, 1 do not think he
bas auy connection or sympathy with
that corpoiation. Hut 1 do think he
knows lees about government affairs
than anyone else lu this oountry.
"Mr. liryau ooutonds that there
publican paity bas tostored trusts by
its polioles and is their friend. Yet
Mr. liryau knows tbat every Jaw on
tbe statute books aimed ut the trusts
was placed there by tbe republican
party, r irst came tbe Sherman law,
tbat attacked the trusts, but there was
a question whether or not it waa val
id beoause the constitution of tbe
United States did not state expressly
that tbe government had power to
regulate trusts. To give the govern
ouent undoubted power to regulate
trusts, it was proposed to amend the
constitution, but all the democratic
members of aongress. save only live,
voted against the amendment and tbe
required two-thirds vote was lost,
"Tbe democrats wbo votd against
the amendment of tbe constitution
were probably not under tbe influence
of tbe trusts but they adhered to their
party principles, holding tbat such an
amendment tended to a strong ceo
traltzed government and opposed it
on tbat ground, lint tbe republicans
still believed tbe Sherman low valid
and have always enforoed it while tbe
democrats have always done their best
to oppose its ontorcement.
"People will tell you tbat no mat
ter what paity is in power, we will
have good times or bad times anyway.
Most of you bere remember 1892 when
the oountiy was going along on the
high tide of prosperity. Tbe repub
lioane told tbe people what would
happen if there was a change In tbe
poiioies of government. We all know
tbe resulting conditions, how mills
were olosed. wheels of industi y stopped
and a goneral stagnation ot business
followed. This was not for one year
but tor four aud how long those four
years seemed 1
"In law Mr. Bryan came in and
propsed to put an end to the prevalent
bard times with his rree-siiver rem

publicans to powei, tbe hum of in

smiled once more. Tbe next election
brought up Mr. liryan with bis rem

1 do not believe Mr. liryan is a man

"Tbe next morning a storm of pro
tests went up, particularly from tbe
South, where tbey are still wedded
state rights and tbey saw in this pol
ioy a further move toward a strong

tbe idea of Jefferson.
"Tben liryan expressed himself

Assuming tbat all tbe voters wbo
have registered aa republioana will
vote for Taft be should have a major
ity over liryan iu tbe county of 710
votes. It Is very probable tbia will
increased by a number of votes
from tbe independents and those who
efused to deolaie themselves. In fact
is safe to assume that if tbe vote is
as large as tbe reglstiation tbat tbe
republican standard bearer will re- .
ceive In Hood River county a major
ity over liryan approximating 700. It
estimated tbat from 5 to 10 per
cent of tbe vote of ia not registered
and any loss tbat may result from
those wbo are registered and fall to
vote is expected to be more than made
up by the voters wbo qualify on elec
tion day by swearing in their votes.
It is Interesting In tbls connection
to note that figuring by tbe uual es
timate ot one voter to five residents,
the population uf tbe county la over
000 people. (j,0U0 ot whloh ara resi
dents of West, East, Center and Booth
Hood Kiver preclnoti. Making a con
servative estimate tbat Ave per cent
of tbe voters aro not registered, on
tbe assumption that tbe list will con -
tain 1000 names wben complete there
are au additional 80 voters in the
ouoty and also an additional popu
lation of 400 which added to tbe 8000
already given gives Uj,e total popula
tion of tbe newly created county
olose to 9,000 people. Aooordlng to
the estimate of one voter to Ave resi
dents tbe registration shows a popula
tion in lialdwln preclnot of 615; Odell
530 and Falls 565. The registration
bows tbat there are no professed pro
hibitionists or socialists in Falls pre
cinct, and no socialists In Odell,
As a matter ot fact tbere are more
people in all ot tbe peoincts of the
county, than have been given In
these estimates as tbey do not in
clude non-voters and tbe floating
population.
