THE SEATTLE STAR—WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1908, ° ‘ e # ° e (Paid Advertisoment.) _. DECLARATION. OF JIMMIE DURKIN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET The Man of whom the Baptist Minister said iG & : “He is a man of his word” To My Fellow Citizens of the Common People of the State of Washington: I want the job—to be the next Governor of your State; and in applying for it, you ought to know if I have the necessary qualifications and honesty to be the right man in the right place. I believe I have. I believe that when a man aspires to public office he should throw himself open for public inspection, and if he cannot stand on his past record, let him go away back and sit down. I have owned bull dogs and game chickens. Fought them? Yes, and I always got the other fellows’ money because I had the best. I saw the errors of the past, and have not done this since 1890. There is good and bad in me, and more bad than there is good. But, whenever I have given my word as a busi- | ness man the good has always come in first, never having broken that word in a business way, and I have been in business over 30 years. I have been in the whisky business for the past 30 years and am still in it, with no regrets or apologies to make to any- one. I have aimed to conduct my business, and have succeeded in doing it, as well as any banker has run his business in the State of Washington. Abraham Lincoln sold whisky; he made you a good President. General Grant drank whisky; he made you both a good soldier and a good President. And I know of no reason why I have not the business qualifications, along with the necessary honesty, that should go with it, to make you as good a Governor as has ever sat in the Governor's chair from the time that this State was a territory until the present time. You must not think that it is the salary attached to this office that I desire. It is the honor of being chosen your chief which I covet. So far as the wealth of money goes, I have all that I want, and in saying that I know that I have more money than all the rest of the Durkins who are left back in Ireland. The salary attached to the position, I will donate to the different charitable institutions of the State. A Baptist minister in a Sunday sermon said that he wished the opportunity were offered him to decorate a saloon win- dow, that he would not make a pleasing display of it, that he would put in a black background with a black border around it and an imaginary devil in the center. I gave him the chance he wished for, and entered into a contract with him to deco- rate my windows to suit his own taste. He did so, and in speaking of the affair in a lecture delivered at the Christian church, as reported in the Spokesman-Review of January 1, 1906, he said: “He gave me a square deal. Durkin is a ‘man of his word.” I promise you that if I am elected your next Governor, the man with the overalls will get a square deal with the man with the silk hat—no better, no worse—just as I gave the minister a square deal, or any other man, white or black, who has ever done business with me. I will be as honest in my candidacy for Governor as I was with the Baptist minister. Of course, I am doing this as a joke; and from a business standpoint to get before the public and jump into the lime light —all for the small amount of $60—and newspaper advertising at that, the best medium in the world for publicity. I have had the experience. I advertised once for cats, in Spokane. Inside of 24 hours from the time the advertisement appeared, I was the proud possessor of 384. I don’t advise you to get into trouble with your mother-in-law. But if you do and it gets into the newspapers, you would have to live longer than Methuselah’s ghost to ever hear the last of it. ‘I said I did it as a joke. If you want to, you can by voting for me, perpetuate the biggest joke ever perpetrated on the railroads and corporations in this State. They would not find me a joke, or make me one. It would be business then; as I know from past experience that capital and corporations can always get a hearing, while the interests of the common } people cannot get even a look-in. I promise that they both get a square deal; and if there is not a law on the statute books | that gives it to them, I shall do the best that is in me to see that there is one. At the time of the agitation as to what President Roosevelt would do at the expiration of his term of office, I settled that question so far as I was able, by offering to hire him as my advertising agent at a salary of $52,000 per year for five yeats, guaranteed by a bond given by the Union Trust Company of Spokane, to the amount of $260,000—this from a man | who never had a piece of fresh meat until he was six years old; and, looking back on it now, I think it was a piece off the neck. However, it was the best piece of meat I have ever eaten. patible with the Declaration of Independence.” What is unionism but concentrated force? It was that which gave us the Declaration of Independence! It's the concentration of money that gives us the trusts. Why are the latter formed? To increase the value of the property of the capitalist, which is money, by getting control of the product of labor and either de- | creasing the value to the producer or increasing the price to the consumer, Generally, they do both, as proven by the records. Let the laborer and the farmer take a lesson from capital, and organize. If they do not, it will be a question only of time | until they are ground down into the dust. How is labor to fight capital? They are direct opposites, always were; always will | be competitors, except by organization. One thousand trained soldiers can scatter and whip a mob of 20,000. If the laboring men display their business tact by voting as a unit, as Wall Street has done in the past, we will not have to ask the question, | “What is Wall Street going to do next?” The eyes of Wall Street would be on the common people and the capitalists would | be asking, “What are the common people going to do next?” If you but stop and think, this is the grandest and greatest country the sun has ever shone upon. The laboring man | has made it so. In case of war, he is the one who is called upon to defend the flag of his country. What does that flag rep- | resent? The property that lies in the country. Who owns the property the laborer takes upon himself to defend? Not he, but the man who stays at home, and when the assessor calls upon him, commits perjury to save a few dollars on his taxa- | tion; while the laboring man, leaving his aged father, mother, wife and children, gives all that it is possible to give—his life's | blood. If it is necessary to have the laboring man form into unions in time of war, it is more than necessary that he should do so in time of peace, to protect himself from being ground down by capital; for there is no animal that runs upon four legs | that is more merciless to its own kind, as proven by history, than man against man. I stand upon the national Democratic platform as adopted at Denver. I stand upon the Democratic state platform as adopted in Spokane this year, with the exception of the prohibition plank. | There are all kinds of rabies running through the world, and people who can't see as others do who have a special kind | of rabies, are to be ground down, if it is possible for them to do so. I am against prohibition; as I believe that the people | who have that special kind of rabies would persecute anyone who does not have the same disease, of which they seem to have le plenty. There is not a man, no matter what good he has done in the past, who comes out in favor of moderation in all things—as the Reverend Cardinal Gibbons did in favor of high license and moderation in both eating and drinking—but is at- tacked by people who are infected with the hydrophobia of prohibition. Speaking of Cardinal Gibbons, they said: “He should | change his surplice for an apron, his prayer-book for an ice pick, and go get a job tending bar.” For people who speak so dis- respectfully of so eminent a man, I have no concern as to what they are going to do, or try to do; it is only a question of | time when their rabies will kill themselves by biting off too much and they will lie down and die. Old Man Time—he is coming along—will have the kindness and the mercy to do this for them. I recognize that there are extremists in the saloon business, as there are among the prohibitionists; and I believe that the best thing is the taking of the middle course, not running to one extreme or the other. To cure the disease of both of the extremes, the prohibitionists as well as the saloon keeper, I would have both swallow a big dose of moderation, repeating | as often as required. Jesus Christ, the most unselfish of all men, the one the ministers use as an example of goodness, for the’ benefit of all mankind to follow, made wine, drank it and gave it to others. Why do the churches still continue to use wine? Why do physicians prescribe spirituous and malt liquors for medicinal purposes? If they are good for the sick man, s the physician must believe, why are they not good as a preventative? A word to my friends, the farmers of this State. As a boy I used to pick up a rock and throw it in the middle of a pond. As it fell, I noticed that it would make a circle of rings; as I watched the rings going on their way to all parts of the shore, 80 now I look upon the farmer as the stone that is today being dropped into the pond. As the farmer is the foundation of | prosperity—it comes first from him—it is only a question to know that, as he prospers, the circle that surrounds him goes on | and on to every part of this broad land. You have had rats and mice in your chicken houses. You could stand for the mice, but you could not stand for the rats and weasels when they commenced to kill off your chickens, If I am elected Governor of this State, there is no ferret ever put into a chicken house that has done better than I will do in killing off the rats that are burdening you down with taxation. I'll not promise you to do all that the other candidates for the office of Governor of this State are promising; but I will do more than they can do, because they are pledged to the corporations and trusts in this State, I am a free agent; and it is up to you } this year to see whom ye shall choose. | @ Dated, Spokane, Wash., August 12, 1908.
