IN CONCORD LAST NIGHT
Spoke in Interest of Candidacy of Max
Gardner. Also Told of Record of
Democracy.

ner." the speaker declared. He told
of the life of Gardner, how he bad
worked for an education, and of the
reputation be had made in life. "He
is a good lawyer, and equally as goodj
a farmer." Mr. Hoey said, "and 1 be

will make us the right Governor.
Mr. Hoey Npoke of the activities of
James Han-i-lt against Mr. Gardner,
and also staled he was unable to see
where Mr. Rarrett had done Gardner
any harm. "Man-elf started as a M.id
fson county radical and he hasn't iin
lirov.il any. I don't see what right he
has telling the Democrats of this State
who to vote for. He was chosen as a
candidate by the Republicans In this
Slate, but he didn't accept the nomi
nation for the Republicans thought he
could do their parly more good in his
present role."
"We are told that. Democracy in
Ibis Stale inns the nomination for
Governor to Cameron .Morrison. vn,
1 ask? We me told that lie saved the
State in the days of the 'red slilrt. ami
yet thin- were other men who helped
this move, and are we to choose
tin-in all as Governor.' It seems that
the people who live in the nine coun
ties where the 'red shirt' had its be
ing and did its work should know
whether or not thev want to elect n
man tor liovernor ror m noih
he (Ut ilization. And yet I tell you
that of the' nine counties Morrison did
it uet a majority in any of theui. and
lie got a small plurality in only two oi
lllelll."
Sue. iking of DciniM racy Mr. Hoey de
clared that the Democrats In the past
seven .ears bad given the country
more beiu-lieial legislation than hail
