RALSTON’S GREAT SPEECH

In Reply to Hanly— Delivered at Greenfield nn October 16, 1906. Hon. Samuel M. Ralston, of Lebanon, in a great speech delivered at Greenfield on October 16, before a large audience, gave special attention to state affairs. He took up Governor Hanly’s speech at Tipton opening the Republican campaign and laid bare its sophistry and misrepresentation, proving beyond cavil the malice and Insincerity with which it abounds. By irresistible facts and argument Mr. Ralston demonstrated why the Republican party should be driven from power in the state and why the management of the state’s business should be restored to the Democratic party with its long record of honorable and faithful service. The speech follows in full and it should be read by every good citizen from beginning to end: Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Citizens—ln-dlana is a great state. Her soil is rich and productive. Her climate is tn>l‘U Rarely has she known serious droughts or violent storms. The destructive forces of nature have spared her. Among ths riches Imbedded within her bowels are to be found the finest building stone, vast fields of coal and reservoirs of oil. She is one of God’s most bountiful gifts to man, where there has been developed a citizenship unsurpassed by that of any other state in this splendid republic. I am proud of her, and so are you. Mutually we rejoice in her and swear allegiance to her institutwns. It Is of the administration of the government of this magnificent commonwealth that I want to speak to you tonight. It is a representative government and therefore a popular government. A popular government Is a government administered through political parties. No country has ever enjoyed a government by the people In the absence of political parties. So it is our boust that we have in state and nation a government ofpolltlcal parties and by political parties, but not for political parties; and thtf man who rails against these organizations has not familiarized himself with the simplest of the basic principles upon which popular government rests.

Instead, therefore, of a political campaign being looked upon by the people as a hardship unnecessarily imposed upon them, they should welcome the opportunity these political contests afford them of learning what the party lu power has accomplished, why ft hns not accomplished more and what It proposes to accomplish for the public good, if its lease of power be extended; and to judge of these things in the light of the criticisms offered and the things proposed by the party out of power. Hanly’s Tipton Meeting. Governor J. Frank Hanly, in a speech delivered at Tipton ou Sept. 24 last, discussed at length state issues and ills administration In the presence of an audience largely composed of supreme and apellate court judge, state officers and their attaches. including tlie lady stenographers of the statehouse. The governor was at his best and we are told lu a published account of his meeting that the stenographers al times cheered him enthusiastically. The governor was cmimored <>f his theme, but he suffered himself to digress long enough to tell the eminent jurists present how he expected them Io write the law in certain eases now pending in their courts. There Is nothing 1 nearly said small, but 1 menu modest about the governor. In tlie course of his keynote slogan he eulogizes without coercion, his own administration mid just as cheerfully criticizes. stigmatizes mid condemns every administration, Democratic and Republican alike, this state lias had from 1872 down to his own. Hut tmtwithstanding tlie eulogy he pronounces upon his own record, lie nevertheless Ims some misgiving Hint all his fellow-ltepublicmis may not view It as lie doos, for he tells them they have no right to refuse t<> support his mlmlnlsratlon because "of pas’slon, personal pique, the personality of tlie man who happens to be back of it, or adverse party affiliation.” Tlie personality of the men back of the iidniinlstriiMrrn seems to press itself upon governor’s mind. I wonder why? Isn't lie satisfied with himself?

The Governor's Integrity Task. But lie goes on to tell of the corruption and defalcation of his friend Sherrick, and what an ordeal he passed through upon making this discovery, "for." using Ills language, "there were those who counseled condonation mid secrecy, and tlie continuance of tile defaulter In office,” and how. when tlie light broke In upon him, “before him stretched tlie path of duty, rugged ami thorny, but straight and true (nd sure." This is, however, only one of many crises, we are Informed, through which he had to pass In Ills official career of less than two years. He says, in summing up tlie work of ills administration, to use Ills language, “it lias restored and maiutnliieil. under trying and delicate circumstances. Integrity In the administration of public offices." That Is to say. as I understand It, mid evidently as lie intended the public to understand. that it is under delicate clreiimstmives he is now maintaining Integrity in tlie aduiiulstratiou of the different ntllees In tlie statehouse. What a certificate of character tills Is for Bigler, Binis, Hill. Attorney General Miller mid the other state officials, in view of this declaration of tlie governor I am amazed that lie did not accompany ids attorney general oti his recent exploits of the French Lick hills and valleys! What a risk tlie executive took In permitting this limb of the law to scamper about that section of our state with tlie famous one-eyed constable unprotected by executive watchfulness. What a plight this state would be in If onr rosy cheeked attorney general had lost his official virtue In the French Lick valley. Keeping the Judge* Straight. Upon reading this passage of the governor's speech, It was at once made dear to me why he liad Judge Hadley, Judge Monks and Judge Jordan along with the other Jurists to attend his opening meeting of the campaign. In addition to telling them how to write the law he desired to Inform them lu the most public manner possible that he was having the task of his life to maintain official integrity In the statehouse, mid that they must be straight, as he would tolerate no foolishness or questionable conduct on their part. Surely the writer of proverbs had these times In his vision and our governor’s administration In mind when he declared "When tlie righteous are tn authority the people rejoice, but when the wicked bear, eth rule the people mourn." Our governor does not only keep all the Republican officials under him honest, but he furnishes the material for the platforms of his party. He says, referring to Its present platform: "Its platform is not a subterfuge upon which to get Into office. Most of Its provisions grew out of the experiences of the last two years and the public needs that hare been disclosed thereby." So you see the governor la the whole thing, and yon dn not have to prove it on him. He will admit It. And If It were not for the biblical Inhibition that "flesh and blood shall not Inherit the kingdom of heaven." I would hesitate even in prophecy to tlx boundaries to the Jurisdiction he would ultimately assume over the heavenly orbs. Demdcrat* and th* Railroad Law. Coming now to the governor's speech more In detail, what claims do we tint! him making for himself and his narty. but more particularly for himself? He calle attention flrat to the railroad rate regulation of

the last legislature, enacted upon his reeommendation and gives in detail the workings of his commission and the supposed benefits resulting therefrom to the people at a total cost of $ 10,753. But he does not tell the people that the Democrats, us a party, stood by him for thia legislation and that the Democrats In both branches of the legislature voted for the passage of the blli/und that the on 9 objection they made to It was that the people were entitled to a better law. Nor does the governor inform the people that he was utterly unable to persuade the Republicans of the legislature to pass this rate bill In any form until after the railroad la'wyers £ laced their O. K. upon it. Hon. John W. lern led the fight for this legislation as the attorney for the shippers, and It was in hla office that the bill was finally agreed upon In the form in which It became a law; and up to the time of this agreement there was never any show for the governor or anyone else to secure the passage of the bill. The situation was controlled by the Influence that always controls the governor's party. But, my friends. It is a late day for the governor to shriek himself hoarse in Insisting upon the honor dm- him or his party for this character of legislation. For the sentiment In this country that has ripened Into this sort of legislation, honor is due to another. The honor belongs to a man whom the governor has slandere<l In the past and in the Imitation of whom as a reformer he Is now making himself ridiculous. Railroad Plank of 1896. In 1896 the Democratic national platform contained this plank: “The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our railroad systems, and formation of trusts and pools require stricter control by the federal government of those arteries of commerce. We demand the enlargement of tne powers of the interstate commerce commission, and such restrictions and guarantees in the control of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppression.” That plank, my friends, was denounced by the governor of your state and the national platform of his party has never con tained a similar declaration. It was the torch that lighted the way for all the laws that have been enacted on this subject, and it was suggested by and borne aloft In the hand of that great commoner, the first statesman of the civilized world, William Jennings Bryan. Without the assistance of Democrats the Republicans could have accomplished nothing on this question in their last congress, and they were only enabled to pass the emasculated bill they finally got through, when a Democrat assumed the leadership of the tight. No, my friends, there is no reason for any Democrat betraying his party to assist Governor Hanly and his partisan followers, because of anything they may have done for rail road rate legislation In the last legislature. Sherrick and Storms.

But let us pass to the next subject discussed by the governor—the defalcations of certain Republican officials. Aud I want to preface what 1 shall suy on this part of his speech by the statement that I do not desire to deprive him of any honor In the premises. Whatever he did that was right, he should have credit for. Now how did he propose to deal with the Situation when he found himself face to face with these defalcations? In searching for the answer to this question we should not overlook the tact that the governor is posing before the country as a genuine reformer—as an executive who be lieves In the enforcemnt ot all laws without fear or favor and denounces in untneas ured terms compromises with crime. If in truth and In fact he Is a reformer of this fiber and an executive of the character I have indicated, then he Instantly knew, appreciated and resolved that Sherrick should be sent to the penitentiary upon his confessing he bad converted to his own use $145,000 of the people's money, but did he so resolve, and If so, when? I charge the fact to be that before Sher rick sent him his resignation he, the governor, through Janies I’. Goodrich, chairman of tlie Republican state central committee, assured the Hon. Addison <’. Harris, attorney for Sherrick, if the defaulting officer would resign and give up his office, he, tlie governor, would protect him from prosecution. If he denies tiffs, then 1 ask him to say If when he was trying to secure the resignation of Secretary Storms, for whom tin- Hon. Addison C. Harris was also appearing as counsel, this conversation, in substance, didn’t take place In his rooms in the statehouse:

Hanly’s Veracity. Mr. Harris saying: "1 advised Sherrick to resign and was criticised for it throughout tlie state. In that case a man came to me as an emissary for the governor and represented that if Sherrick would resign mid turn over to the governor the securities iu his possession, that that would end the matter. With this understanding, on my advice, Sherrick sent his resignation and nil tin- securities iu his possession to the governor. The same evening tlie governor placed the matter iu the hands of the prosecuting attorney." And If thereupon he. the governor, didn't say. "Hold ou, Mr. Harris, I never authorized any person to make any such representation to you." And if thereupon Mr. Harris didn't say. "The man who .came to me saying that he came from you Is In tills room and someone lias lied." And if thereupon Mr. Goodrich, chairman of tlie Republican state central committee, didn't say, "I made only such representations as 1 was authorized by the governor to make, and 1 mu not tlie Hur"; mid if thereupon Mr. Harris, looking nt the governor, didn't say, "Then. Governor Hanly, you are tlie liar’" 1 repeat I challenge the governor 10 deny. Then if Sherrick did resign with the understanding that the governor would not ask that he lie prosecuted, or that lie would ask that lie be not prosecuted, 1 submit the governor cannot consistently plead with Democrats to support ills administration on account of its moral tone, until he himself quits forming an alliance with criminal.-,.

Getting Money From Sherrick. Besides tlie record in tlie Sherrick case now pending in the supreme court shows that iu r.HM Hanly gm m one time $250 mid nt another time SSOO belonging to the state from Sherrick as auditor, and that he didu't repay the state until after tlie exposures came late in 11*15. I mu told by Ai attorney who Is conversant with tlie fact, that if Sherrick is kept in I lie penitentiary. it will lie on the count of the Indictment charging him with the conversion of the money of tlie state, a part of which was the money the governor had. How tlie governor, while Sherrick remains In the penitentiary, can go into tlie pulpit* of tills state and preach civic righteousness without experiencing the sensation of the ball and chitin about tils ankle is beyond my comprehension. But In what better light do the facts in the Storms ease place the governor before the good citizenship of this good state? He tells us that his commission laid bare the wrongdoing In the secretary's office. His language Is: “A little later, a misappropriation of funds by the secretary of state—a conversion of public money to his own use —was laid bare." And then he tells how he demanded the resignation of the secretary, and how that official refused either to resign or to permit an examination of his books, but that finally, rather than have the general assembly convene to Impeach him. nc gave up the fight, handed over his resignation mid left his office. Storms and Question of Crime. Let's analyze this situation. If the secretary had converted public money to his own use he was guilty of the commission of a crime, and no one knew that better than the governor, for he is not ofilv s good statutory lawyer, but also a good constitutional lawyer, and if he 1s to be believed, he has a real passion for the enforcement of Inw. He delights In telling ills preacher and civic audiences how the constitution enjoins upon him that "he shall take c«re that the laws be faithfully executed,” and how all tsws look alike to him, and that it Is his unbending purpose to enforce them, oven at the risk of cutting short his political career. That Is to snv. he wants the people to understand that he Is for Inw enforcement, even If such a course in the future deprive hla country of his services as president. How’ do hla acts square with his words? He admits that the evidence showing tlie commission of a crime by his secretary of state was laid before him end that It was so conclusive of guilt that It enabled him to compel the derelict official to floe from his office. The evidence then was as strong as It was in the Sherrick case. Why. then, was the one sent Jo prison and the other allowed to go free? Why, then, did the governor send for the prosecuting attorney In th* one case and lay the facta

(bowing guilt before him and insist upon a proecution and in the other case remain silent? Do great governors do this way when they are seeking to ferret out crime? Can you Imagine a Folk acting In this way under simitar conditions? And Is such a course in harmony with his Interpretation of that provision of the constitution he enjoys reading to the preachers that the ■Governor shall take care that the laws lie faithfully executed? I make the charge that he does not dare to tell the people of tins state why he has not insisted upon the prosecution of his defaulting secretary of state. Storms Case and Consistency. With what consistency can the governor insist that prosecuting attorneys should see to It that all felons be prosecuted, in view of the position eh has assnmed as regards the felony committed by Storms? Does he answer that. Storms made good his defalcations and gave up the office? If he does, a man does not have to to be a lawyer to tell him that that doesn't satisfy tne law. Any felon in the clutches of the law would make good the value of stolen Eroperty und leave* the state If that would uy his l.berty. Does he answer that an assurance L«d to be given Storms thfit he would not be prosecuted before he would agree to hand In h'.s resignation? If he does, then the official who is keeping that assurance good Is gu.lty of compounding a felony and should be sent to tne penitentiary with Sherrick. Again I charge that tne governor doesn't da;e to tell the people of this state the truth as to why Storms has not been prosecuted and until he does make a satisfactory showing as regards such failure, he is not In a position to appeal either to Democrats or self-respect-ing Republicans to support his administration. But he does not only Insist that he is entitled to great honor for getting Sherrick, Storms and the adjutant-general out of office, but that much credit is due him for. collecting of these three defaulting Republican officials the money they had converted to their own use. Each of these officers had a good bond on file, and a very ordinary lawyer can draft a good complaint for the breach of a bond. The governor, however, is grappling at straws, and no incident that will serve*to bolster up his administration must be overlooked. Hanly’s Motives.

Now the trtfth Is, my friends, ths governor hadn't been In office long until the fact became known to him that the state house, under Republican administrations, had become rotten to the core and that rumors of the condition were then reaching the public, a;id he was not long iu convincing himself that when the whole truth got to the public the righteous indignation of the people would sweep bls party from power. So he became desperate and at once conceived the scheme of starting an investigation of the records in certain officesback as far as 1872 with the hope of being able to scandalize the official record of some Democrat and in this way molify in some degree the outraged feeling of the people toward bls party. The first one he makes an attack upon is a dead Democrat, James H. Rice, who while living bore a reputation tor honesty second to no man. Anu the charge is made that Rice, while auditor, failed to account for certain money that he received officially, and that his shortage now amounts to $108,823.69, including more than $46,000 Interest. . A proper appreciation of the value of character and of good reputation usually suggests to a fair-minded man the importance of stating all the material facts, when he is proposing to ask the judgment of his countrymen thereon, upon the conduct of a fellow man. And especially Is this true when the judgment is asked against on who Is dead. James H. Rice’s Case. I charge that the governor has not given to the people all the facts In James H. Rice's case, and that he has purposely, with evil intent, wltheid them. Notice the language of his speech: "For some unaccountable reason the books are missing and can not lie found.” By that statement he meant for the people to understand that all the books of James H. Rice are missing, when the truth is, the records are only missing for six months of his official term, as 1 have been Informed, and the books covering his term, so I am told, all except this six months, show his aci counts Jo be correct to a cent. Why didu'tthe governor disclose that fact to the people when he was dealing with the honor of * dead man? Is It customary for apostles of spotless purity- to deal with the dead in this wav? How, then, did the governor and his commission arrive at the amount of Rice's alleged shortage? Why. he says: "It is based upon the average receipt of reciprocal fees for a term of years before and after Mr. Rice's term." But that doesn't necessarily show that any part of the alleged shortage went Into his hands. I submit, therefore, In view of all the facts, if the governor had wanted to be fair and decent in his dealing with Rice, he would have refrained from makjng his vicious attack upon his official record, But no, he couldn't do that. He had to have a Democratic victim to break the rising tide of opposition to his party and to get his victim he repairs to the grave of this Irish patriot—this old soldier—and with fiendish cruelty clawing into the sepulchre of the dead, he drugs out the skeleton and rattles it, with ghoulish glee, in the face of the multitude. 1 leave him with the skeleton.

Increased Taxation. In hls Tipton speech the goveronr takes exception to the charge made lu the Democratic state platform of 1906 that since 1894 the Republican party "has unnecessarily and largely increased the number of officers, the salaries of officials, the expenses of the public business and the burdens of the taxpayers.” He seeks to break the force of this arraignment by saying that if the expenses and burdens of the people have ineerased, they have been increased without a raise in the tax levy. This sort of statement doesn't deceive any one. Why didn't he tell hls audience how much the assessed valuation of the property In the state had increased during this period? The most ordinary citizen understands that a 3-cent levy, for Illustration, will produce twice as much revenue on a valuation of S2OO as It will ou a valuation of sLoo. Now the’ truth Is the receipts of the state for tlie year ending October 31, 1904, were nearly a million dollars greater than for the year ending October 31, 1895, And yet when the legislature met In January, 1906, the governor announced In his Inaugural address that he found the state's finances "embarrassed," aud cited a deficit of a half million dollars. This was followed by drawing $91»4.0(M> In advance from the counties up to October 31, 1905, and the embarrassment mentioned by the governor forced the raising of the levy for current expenses three cents on the hundred dollars, which Increased the taxes for such expenses about a half million dollars a year. Why didn't the governor, in hls Tipton speech, tell the truth? State Office Expenditures. Again a Republican legislature appro prlated for the expenses of the Auditor's office from 11)03 to 1907, $82,303.90. Under the law us enacted by a Democratic legislature, If Governor Hanly's Interpretation of that law be correct, J. O. Henderson's total legal compensation as auditor for four years was only $3,473.43, as against $82,303.30 for the same office for the same period under a Republican law. Matthews and .Myers, both Democrats, administered the office of secretary of state from 1891 to 1895, four years under a Democratic law, for $41,461. For the same length of time, from 1893 to 1907, under a Republican law, It cost $53,600 to run the same office: that is, $12,119 more than It did under the Democrats. Haying nothing of the different contingent funds upon which the governor has been liberally drawing, the office of governor for 1905. cost the people more than $4,000 in excess of what it did In 1896, when Matthews was governor. But the governor, in hls speech, arguwi that the four offices or governor, secretary of state, auditor or state anil attor-ney-general cost the people, under Democratic laws, mere than SIOO,OOO In excess of what they are now costing under Republican legislation. He Is enabled to reach this conclusion by taking the attorneygeneral's office, when the Hon. Alonso Greene Smith was the Incumbent, under a law that was prepared by AttorneyGeneral Michener, and approved by Governor Hovey, both of whom were Republicans, and under which tn* attorney-gen-eral was, In fact, allowed fees that made him a large compensation. A fairer way to have presented th* question, I suggest.
