At the outet of his remarks. Senator
Beverldge Invited those In the audi
ence at any time during his address to
ask questions or to question the cor
rectness of any statement he might
make, but In extending this Invitation
he explained that It should be under
stood from the beginning that "agita
tors and politicians" were barred.
Torns Tables on Opponents. -The
Senator had scarcely began his
address, when some commotion was
caused by taking a flashlight photo

advised the speaker, "that was Just
a flash of light on the situation on
which I shall attempt to throw further
light.-' Later in his address, the Sen
ator remarked: "Mr. Bryan la the best
speaker In the country, but " and at
this point his voice was drowned by
the applause of the friends of the
Nebrsskan In the audience.
"I am glad to see there are so many
of the people here to whom I am desir
ous of speaking," continued Senator
Beverldge, when the demonstration
subsided, "for I want them to be con
vinced of the error of their way. But
they should have waited for me to
nnieb my sentence before applauding.
I wonder If they will applaud when I
have done soT I will finish the sen
tence now:
Comparisons Drawn From History.
"Mr. Bryan Is the best speaker in
the country, but so was Patrick Henry In
his day, but who would have thought of
making Patrick Henry President Instead
of Washington? Wendell i Phillips also
was the brat speaker In his day, but who
would have maiie his President In place
of IJncoln? As for me, I nxefer ' listen
to Bryan rather than to permit him to
run my business and go Into bank
ruptcy." By referring to the order of succession
to the Presidency in the earlier history
of this country. Senator Beverldge showed
that it was nothing unusual for the re
tiring chief executive to be succeeded by
the candidate of his own personal choice.
"And It will be for the very same rea
sons that Roosevelt at this time will have
as his successor his closest friend, wisest
counsellor snd his best-equipped officer,
William H. Taft. the ablest administrator
and trained statesman ever presented In
the history of the republic."
No I'nklnd Word for Bryan.
After reviewing briefly the history of
the two political parties and urging the

concerned the welfare of the country.
Senator Beverldge said In part:
"I have not an unkind word to say
against Mr Bryan. I quit making parti
san speeches years ago. believing that
the parties belong to the people and not
the people to the parties. Bryan Is a good
man. but not a wise one: it takes both
goodness and wisdom for such m position.
He Is righteous, but not right; upright,
but not steady; brave, but not prudent.
It takes all these qualities to make the
j Chief Magistrate of the mightiest people
or me wona.
"It was only 10 years ago Bryan advo
cated free silver and if he had succeeded
at that time and Introduced that system
the country would have been ruined.
More recently he urged the Government
ownership of railroads, which I think he
himself would now admit was a dream
that would have been realised by suc
ceeding generations had It been Intro
duced. He now proposes to control the
business of the nation under a franchise
system and at the same time denounces)
the employment of so many Government
officials. But his franchise plan would
provide for at least 100.009 additional Gov
ernment officials.
What Reason for Change?
"But why should we have any change
at all? Taft Is Roosevelt policies personi
fied. Should we make a chance because
of the few bourbons in the Republican
party who for seven years have been op
posing the policies of Roosevelt? We
have unhorsed our own reactionary ele
ment and the progressive forces of the
party are now In the saddle.
"If Bryan were President today he
would And two-thirds of the Demo
cratic members of the Senate opposed
to every plan he Is now proposing.
Take the leader of the Democrats in
the Senate. Charles A. Culberson, of
Texas; Daniels, of Virginia, and many
others I might name, would they be
found supporting these very measures?
I again challenge the Democratic Na
tional committee to poll the Demo
cratic members of the Senate as to
whether or not they 'voul support
Bryan's policies.
"But who do we find supporting Bryan
at this time? It Is the men who hated
him yesterday. Who do we find? Judge
Alton B. Parker and Richard Olney.
(Applause.) Now applaud if you will
Charles Murphy, of Tammany Hail, and
Roger Sullivan, of Illinois, also are sup
porting Bryan. The hatred of these men
for Bryan of yesterday Is only equalled
by their hatred of Roosevelt today.
Uws Passed by Republicans.
"During the last seven years the Re
publicans have not passed a law that
a Democrat would dare propose to re
peal. We have passed the railroad rate
Jaw. Would Bryan repeal it? We
have passed the pure food law. the
meat Inspection law and the Irrigation
law. Would Bryan stand for the re
peal of one of them? For the working
men. Congress has passed more pro
gressive legislation than any other
four administrations. Among this leg
islation Is Included the employers' lia
bility law, the safety appliance law
and other measures limiting the hours
of employment. If they would not re
peal any of these laws, If they Indorse
everything in Roosevelt's administra
tion, what grounds have they to come
forward at this time and ask your sup
port to put us out that you may put
them In? v
"Of course, the ' Democrats have some
objection to our currency law. But as
passed at the last congress this measure
was only a temporary expedient. It pro
vides for a currency commission which
will Investigate the currency systems of
all of the countries and make some res
ommendatlon for a more satisfactory sys
tem to replace the one we now have.
Of course, Bryan could develop a cur
rency system In 15 minutes, but sound
business men do not want such a sys
tem. As to Tariff Revision.
"The Democrats also propose to revise
the tariff, so do we but In doing so we
propose to put the country In the fore
most ranks of the nations of the world.
The Democrats would put us back 70
years and where we find Turkey and
Japan today. China Is one of the few
remaining countries which today have

the tariff for revenue only but what
about the progresslvenesa of its people?
Tariff for revenue only la a tax on arti
cles which produce the most revenue. It
amounts to a tax on coffee and other
food necessities of the people. It does
not get a new market anywhere iff- the
world and surrenders our own home mar
ket. "The tariff we. will provide within six
months after the Inauguration of Taft
next March will protect American Indus
try and labor at home and at trie same
time open up additional markets abroad.
We will not provide a straight pro
tective tariff, but a double tariff
maximum and a minimum tariff. The
minimum rate will apply to nations
which give our producers the advantage
of their markets, while the maximum
tax will be made applicable only as
sort of big stick of retaliation to those
countries which deny us access to their
markets. '
System That Is Proposed.
"Under such a tariff system as pro
posed by the Republicans through revi
sion. Germany in 12 years Is selling
abroad 12 manufactured articles where
we are selling one. Canada, under the
same tariff, has shut out our livestock
from Europe. Give us. the same weapons
Canada and Germany have and we will
leave them so far behind on the sea of
trade that they will never see our smoke.
"Let me give you another Illustration
of Just how foolish all of their proposi
tions are. This one I think Is the worst
because It contains the poison of dem
agogy and one which would tear down
the pillars of our temple of liberty. I
refer to the Injunction plan. I know
there are those on both sides who do not
like to discuss any critical issue. If there
is any lesue that I am unwilling to talk
about I will get nut of public life. I am
hoping tonight that there are a great
many working men here, and particu
larly union men, because I want to make
this very clear to you. There are those
who say that the writ of injunction has
been abused, but the bench and bar of
this country know that It has not been.
Speedy Hearing of Injunctions..
"Every .man, rich .or- poor, powerful
or weak has a right to his day in court.
This is the first principle of law-made
liberty and liberty-made law. No "injunc
tion should Issue without notice. It
should be speedily heard and that Is ex
actly what we propose to do and declare
for in our platform. Within one year
after Mr. Taft is Inaugurated that bill or
a better one will become a law.
"I am against those gorillas who would
destroy this most vital writ of con
science. The court of equity is the keeper
of the people's conscience and the writ
of Injunction Is its most valuable power.
It prevents the digging of a ditch that
will damage adjacent property; compells
railroads to furnish cars. - It stays the
hands of lawless corporations from com
mitting acta which once done would" work
an Injury that could not me amended.
Under the plan of the opposition you take
the bridle off for lawless wealth and bid
it run wild. Scores more of Injunctions
have been Issued against capital than
against labor. Name me one and I will
name you at least 100 against capital.
Effect of Bryan's Plan.
"Mr. Bryan's Injunction plan would
give the corporations and railroads and
the overlords of wealth the arm of the
equity courts to despoil the people as
much as they will. Why? Because If a
corporation or any other form of law
less wealth wishes to do anything it will
proceed unhampered. When the act la
once committed the corporation doesn't
care what you think of it. What It wants
Is to do the thing. Mr. Bryan's plan
means the absolute destruction of this
writ because he proposes that wherever
a contempt of court la committed out
side of the presence of the court the fact
as to whether that contempt was corn-
rnltted or not shall be tried by a Jury.
"Now suppose that plan is applied
to
crfumuon, to any form of capital.
Suppose an Injunction has been issued
against the manager of a corporation.
Suppose he wants to violate it. He has
the best legal counsel money can buy. A
dozen reasons for violating it would be
concocted by these men. He has a Jury
trial. His hired counselors would take
hundreds of exceptions to the evidence
and present countless technicalities for
the purpose of appealing to the higher

RECORD OF SENATOR
BEVEBZDGE.
Senator Albert J. Beverldge le one
of the- most progressive Republican
members of the United States Sen
ate. He was drat elected from
Indiana In November 1898 and was
re-elected In November, 1904.
He proposed the amendment to the
. meat Inspection bill providing for
the Inspection of all product of
packing-nooses engaged la Interstate
commerce. S
Senator Beverldge has since been
making a vigorous flgbt for an
amendment to the same bill requir
ing packers to pay the cost ef Inspec
tion rather than let tbe cost fall on
the Government.
He aisa Is tbe author of a bill to
prevent the sale of the products of
child labor In Interstate commerce.
During the last session of Congress
before action wae taken by the party
leaders for an tnvestlgatioa or) tariff
revision. Senator Beverldge intro
duced a Joint resolution providing for
a tariff commlssslon to Investigate
tbe subject of revision during the
recess of Congress. While his .reso
lution was not adopted, hie persist
ency in keeping the matter to the
front was largely Instrumental In
causing the leaders In the Honse to
order an Investigation by the ways
and means committee and tn the Sen
ate by the finance committee, which
accomplished the end for which he
was contending.
Senator Beverldge Is an advocate
of a maximum and a minimum tariff.
In line with Governor Cummins, of
Iowa, and other progressive Republicans.
court and then to the next higher court
and then you would never get through
lawlng until the cause of action had been
forgotten. Are you willing to put the
power that these courts of equity hold
over corporations and lawless wealth Into
the hands of those who should be re
strained?" Interrupted by Questioner.
Voice " In the audience: "Do you
think the courts are a nuisance?"
"The gentleman asks me If I think
the courts are a nuisance. No, they are
the bulwarks of our liberties. From the
low tone in which the gentleman asked
the question I should say that he thought
so. Any man who would make a state
ment like that Is either lgndrant of tha
meaning of Jurisprudence or else he Is
a conscienceless demagogue trying to
coin the votes of citizens out of the
passions of men. Now, I do not believe
that the men who proposed this plan fully
understand Its results, do not compre
hend the Frankenstein they are creat
ing. It will be the laboring men them
selves who will write their black con
demnation on its author's brow.
'Bryan does not know where he Is
going. He hasn't studied the question
enough. He talks so much and travels
so much that he hasn't any time to think
at all about anything. Mr. Gompers Is a
sincere and faithful worker, devoted to
the uplift of the toller, but he has not
explored to its end the path upon whlcn
he would set our reet. i nave taken
these illustrations to show how thor
oughly chimerical, therefore, how ruin
ous their plans are. A statesman must
explore the history of every subject to
Its very foundation. The orator cannot
be a statesman: he has no time. Trie
organizer of business cannot be a states
man; he has no timeT
Final Question of Justice.
'I am for labor when It Is right and
only then; I am for capital when it Is
right and only then. But always I am
for Justice, whether labor or capital or
both should deny It or whether the peo
ple themselves In a moment of wrath
should refuse It. Only justice Is ever
lasting. Only justice sets on an eternal
throne, unshaken and unshakable, and
only be who takes his stand at the right
hand of justice shaU prevail.

the world, and as the first power In the
world we ought to build the greatest
navy in the world. We ought to have a
navy great enough to have as large a
fleet on our Pacific Coast as we had last
year on our Atlantic Coast. There are
some men in both parties who seemed
to think last year that there was only an
Atlantic coast. When the battleship fleet
sailed around the Horn we realized then
that the Pacific Ocean Is a mighty rac
tor In American history, and we realize
now that the Pacific Ocean is the might
lest iacujr in America lomorrow.
"We are In a great historical period
now. Just as clearly marked as the W ash
Ington period, Jackson period, Lincoln
period the great period of human ad
vance; the great period when the peo
ple are writing conscience Into their
statute books as a part of the nation s
law what the preachers have long been
preaching from the pulpit. Who shall
be our captain?
Taft Trained for Position.
"The candidates today are as important
as the platforms. - They are equally true,
equally. ' sincere, equally devoted to the
Interests of the people. Mr. Bryan Is
Inexperienced. Mr. Taft Is the most
thoroughly trained man that has been
presented for the presidency of this coun
try. Bryan is sincere buc untried; he
Is the prolific parent of theories. Mr.
Taft Is equally sincere In purpose and
Intention, but he Is the prolific parent of
mighty plans, every one of which has
worked and has risen up and called him
blessed. He Is a trained statesman, a
graduate In the school of deeds per
formed. "This is a great and splendid nation
and we cannot trust its destinies to an
unskilled hand. Mr. Taft has adminis
tered a department of the government
with brilliancy; as the Solicitor-General
of the nation, as a Judge on the bench
whose decisions were" never reversed, as
Governor of the Philippines, where he
successfully handled Intricate and com
plicated problems, he was equally ca
pable. "It Is a mighty future that looms be
fore us, and behind us are favoring
winds. But also before ns are crocks
and false lights on the shore. Give us
the commander and deliver to him the
chart of our destiny, that great leader
whom fate has equipped for us, by put
ting Into the chair once occupied by
Washington, Jackson, Lincoln their nat
ural successor, that great, that good,
tthat kindly, that just man, William
Howard Taft."

of "The Clansman" has decided to send the
members of the original company to the
Coast and the services of these actors and
