CA) l'nited States Senator P.enjamin 1C. Shively was present and addressed the convention. Congressman llarnhart, in a speech criticised the policies of i aft, Cannon and tjie lanfT. An extract of part of the address of llarnhart, is as follows: A four line poem was quoted by Mr. llarnhart in opening his address which, he said, "bopeaks my gratitude for the more than generous honor you have just given me ami the manifestation of confidence and esteem which vour action bestows is one of the rarest and richest treasures any life might crave. Mus may seem matter-of-fact formality of speech t some, 'but the trust of iiut.cco deserving people, as ex pressed at the polls two years ago and re-affirmed by you here today, is an inspiration to any man worthy of the name, to 'volunteer the best public service there is in his make-up and then loyally keep tlc faith. Py way of introduction I want to declare to you that whatever the future may hac in store Tor me, whether or not I shall continue t) serve as vour Representative in Congress, it is a pleasure to vc you and your people a debt of gratitude which I can only pay v impartial advocacy of a larger s-ohore of comfort and orospcrity for every deserving home in the district.

me an apology, I want to talk brietly of myself. It matters little to you and to all the people of the district what individual represents you in Congress, so far as personal favor or political glory is concerned. You have already generously bestowed upon me all there is in the honor of representing this great and deserving jxypulace in the Congress of the United States. l.ut you are concerned as to the kind of representation you hhve and by the impartial judgment of voters as to whether or not I have made good I shall willingly stand or fall in the election. The Tecord of my pu'blic service is open to every man in the district and I want to know what it is before he casts his vote next November. And. whatever this estimate, I cannot promise more in the future titan the advantage of experience and I will not pledge you more than, if again given your trust, I will do my best to discharge my duty as my judgment leads me to see it. And if it be the people's will that I again represent them in Congress, I hope that I, may vote their sentiments aright when I continue in favor of less money for unnecessary office holders' expenses and more for pensions for the old soldiers who saved this Union; lower tariff taxes on the necessaries of life; an income tax; election of Senators by direct vote of the people: reciprocity with Canada and our best customers and more opportunity for those who work and less for tho-se who scheme. "I want to' also assure von, in this connection, that if there is any harsh reference to political competitors in this campaign any mud pies, tin pans or pitchforks thrown or any insinuations that the people are to be lowed down in shame if the majority votes this wav or that some other than

myself will do so, for I am res lived, as I was two vears ago, to win this race out in the open, on the square, and in a gentlemanly way or not at all. "When you gave me the great confidence of a nomination two years ago I said to vou that 1 could accept only on the condi tion that, if elected I should be free to work and vote for legisiatfon that I believed to be right, regardless of dictates of party politics. I declared that I would not be bound by a party caucus to vote for lergis'Iation that I believed to be wrong, and I here emphatically re-affirm that jxsit'on and declare to you that I never have done so. and that I never wid.
