The gigantic trusts also are among the enemies of the government we must con- sider. The same power that destroyed Greece wnd Rome and found further expression of its wil influence in the French revolution is perating to undermine the foundations of his Government. There is no greater enemy of civil government than brilliant minds allied with dishonesty. Brilliant minds now are allied with dishonesty in the Government and it is up to us to see that the order of things is reversed.

If we exhibited the same zeal fighting the comimon enemy that we do in the battles in our own ranks we would have no trouble in winning out in Cali- fornia. We must unite for the common good. The success of the Democratic electoral ticket at the coming election i{s the question to be first considered and we must send Parker electors East, that he may be placed in the Presidential chair. Regarding the question of a contest for the chairmanship of this convention, all I can say is that {t makes no difference who pre- sides. 1f this question is permitted to come to @ contest Mr. Dockweiler might be elected, or T might be elected.
