When the campaigner speaks to the crowd his bias is defiantly noticed. “There is only one man who can rid the politics of this State of the evil domination of Boss Jim Getty’s.” You can most defiantly see that Kane in his speech believes that he actually will live up to his promises. This being said he claims “ I would make my promises now if I weren’t too busy arranging to keep them.” You can defiantly tell that there is extreme competition between not only Getty and Kane but the political parties as well. Kane says, “I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane, the fighting liberal, the friend of the working man, the next Governor of this State, who entered upon this campaign --with one purpose only: to point out and make public the dishonesty, the downright villainy, of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine -- now in complete control of the government of this State!” Kane is very bold in his speech. If you didn’t know any better you would have thought he had already won and the was giving his victory speech. Many fallacies were used by Kane and it seemed that he was not only making accusations, but slandering Gettys as well.  “There is only one man who can rid the politics of this State of the evil domination of Boss Jim Gettys.” At points there was more entertaining and selling rather than sincerity. Kane spoke mostly about how Gettys is not honest, and doesn’t help the his people, in which he did a very good job at making the crowd react in anger towards Gettys. “The working man -- The working man and the slum child know they can expect my best efforts in their interests. The decent, ordinary citizens know that I'll do everything in my power to protect the underprivileged, the underpaid, and the the underfed!” “The next Governor of this State, who entered upon this campaign --Kane: with one purpose only: to point out and make public the dishonesty, the downright villainy, of Boss Jim W. Gettys' political machine -- now in complete control of the government of this State!” The argument was very effective but it was not sound. There were a lot of fallacies and bias used by both the campaigner and Kane. Although, this was the case the crowd got a rise from it and it sound very convincing. Kane makes himself out to be the savor and threatens Gettys. “ My first official act as Governor of this State will be to appoint a Special District Attorney to arrange for the indictment, prosecution, and conviction of Boss Jim W. Gettys!” Very emotional speaker but it seems like the professional thing to do would be not to knock his opponent. He is playing with the crowds emotions and instead of knocking Gettys and appearing jealous he would have been more effective if he would have spoken from the heart and showed the crowd that he just wasn’t another “big talker”.
