In most Instances, .' where grave iWiigert have threatened the safety 1 the itate, nome, great character, mne master mind ha been found. produced a it were by the conditions themielvei, with capacity to direct aright the cnergiei of the people. This was true of the ancient world, it Inn been true of the modern world; it it true of the republic. We have inch a crisis, to meet today. The favor seeking corporations have grad ually strengthened their hold upon the government .until they now men ace popular institutions. The question is, whether this gov eiimciit shall be restored to the con trol of the people and be administer etf in the interest of all, or whether it shall remain an instrument in the hands of the few for levying tribute upon all the rest. In tii Mfii-iM.'il rapii.'iuf tit Pdiiurr n last winter, President Roosevelt de- dared, substantially, that certain 1 wealthy men who have become enor mously rich by oppressing the wage T ' - practicing all forms of iniquity, have banded together, and by. the unlimit- ed use of money, endeavor to secure freedom' from restraint and to over throw and discredit all who, honestly administer the law, That the . methods by which these men have acquired their great for tunes can only be justified by a sys tem 6f morality, that would permit every form of criminality, every form of violence, corruption and fraud. For many years, and especially during the last twelve years, these very men have been in control pf the republican party; they have financed every campaign of that party for a quarter of century, These exploiters of the people, whom the President has so, scathingly denounced, ' have given their enthusiastic support to the republican candidates and poltc ijif. They laid their hands upon the trust funds of insurance companies and other corporations' ( and turned the plunder oveir to 'flic rcpubl'c com mittee. The money thus filched from the innocent and" helpless' to pur chase republican victory, has , not been repaid.'" ' ". ' " ', '"' ." And where do we find these men today? Where ar c the "swollen fortunes" of which we have heard so much? Just where we would expect to find them supporting the republican ticket and furnishing the sinews of war for the republican committee as usual, The platform adopted by the late convention shows what the republican party in truth represents. Although contolled by the friends of Roosevelt and Taft, in framing the platform every genuine reform which Roose velt has advocated, was scorned and trampled beneath the iron heel of the predatory masters ', of the republican party. The Wisconsin delegation which favored placing a few reform planks in the platform, was denounc ed with sneers as being socialistic and democratic, and the convention by a vote of eight to one, repudiated the reforms that the present administra tion claims to favor. The mask of hypocrisy and decep tion has been torn from the face of those who pretend to favor the poli cies of the president, and we now know why the "system" admires Taft, tolerates Rosevclt, and hates the Sen ator from Wisconsin, When compel led to choose between an appeal -to the manhood and conscience of the people in defense of its platform and candidate, on the one hand, and the millions that the "special interests" Per e Food All our wines and li quors are guaran teed under the Pure Food Law.

' If the charges made by the Presi dent are true and there are true we are Indeed face to face with a situa tion as grave as any in our history. How shall it be met? The good sense patriotism and united action of the people alone cun remedy present evils To wage a successful fight wc must have a leader, The republican party, dominated by the seekers of special privileges, cannot furnish him, Re publicans who really desire reform are powerless; the efforts of the presi dent have been futile, ; ' The democratic party must furnish the leader which present conditions demand, and lie must be a man known to be free from the influence that con trol the republican party. He must be a man of superior intellect, sound judgment, positive convictions and moral courage; one who will meet the forces of plutocracy with the naked sword of truthone who knows no surrender. He must have a genius for state-craft; he must be a man of wide experience in public affairs; he must have ability to formulate poli cies and courage to defend them. But above all, he must have faith in the people, He must not only be lieve in the right of the people to govern, but in their capacity to do so. And he must be a man whom the peo ple know and trust. The democratic party has many distinguished men who might be chosen as our standard bearer; but it has one man who above alt others possesses the necessary qualifications and is eminently fitted for this lead ership. He is a man whos nomination will leave no doubt as to where our party stands on every public question. His genius for state-craft is shown by the constructive work he has done in pro posing reforms, and by the ability with which he has fortified his posi tion. But wc may go farther. A few months since, he visited the principal nations of the world. He came in contact with' the leading minds of Christendom, and the world abroad recognized his greatness and paid him that tribute justly due to men of high attainments. In the most distinguished peace convention that has assembled in re cent years, he proposed a plan which, i adopted, would prove more effective than any arbitration treaty that has yet been made, and by his influence he secured its approval by the repre sentatives of the twenty-six leading nations there assembled. Is he thoroughly informed regard iiig the issues of this campaign? Read his speeches and his writings, which for nearly twenty years have been a part of the political literature of the nation. Is he sincere, brave and de termined? Even his political oppon ents now admit that he is. I have had a close personal and Political acquaintance with this man, whose name Nebraska presents, since he entered political life. I can tes tify from observation as to his politi cal conduct before he was known to fame. He was honest, brave and un yielding then; he is honest, brave and unyielding now. "Honesty is inherent in him. He was an honest lawyer before he en tered politics. He was honest in his political methods before his states manship was recognized by the nation and he has been honest throughout his career, ' "His convictions have been his poli tical creed. He has impressed these convictions upon others, not by dicta- upon us a few months ago, he prompt ly proposed as a remedy, the guaran tee of baiJc deposits, and so popular has this plan become that it is to-day a national issue and supported by the masses of the people. He has long advocated legislation .which will sec ure publicity as to campaign contribu tions. ' . "He believes in peace in universal Christian peace. He believes the des tiny of nations should be determined not by wars but by applying the prin ciples of justice and humanity. Though these principles have met with uncompromising opposition from the special interests, he has remained true to the cause of the people. With clear vision and with unfaltering trust seeing and knowing the truth, he has never lost faith, in its final victory. Through years of unparalleled poli tical warfare, his loyalty to his ideals and to his fcllowmen has been abund antl, shown. His refusal to surren der his convictions, though subjected to abuse, denunciation and vindictive opposition such as few public men in alt history have been compelled to withstand, is ample proof of his su perb courage. :- 1 His career proves that successful leadership is determined by the suc cess or failure of great principles rather than by election to high office. "We have met to plan the camp aign and to commission the comman der under whom the masses will en list. We are not here in response to the voice of expediency; neither po litical bosses nor corporate masters sent us here. We are here at the sum mons of the rank and file of that po litical organization which is the spec ial defender of the rights of the com mon people. "We are here representing all that is best in the traditions of our party; we feel again that the spirit that ani mated the democracy in the days of Jefferson and Jackson. "The voters have spoken, and we assemble to give expression of their will. The voice for the third time calls Nebraska's favorite son to be the standard bearer of his party 'in this gigantic contest. 1 "Since time began no graitder tri bute was ever paid to any man by a free people. He is recognized to-day as the most representative citizen of the nation, the peer of any living man. "Friends and foes have learned that he was shaped in that heroic mold in which the world's great patriots, statesmen and lciders have been cast. "First nominated when ten years younger than any other presidential candidate ever chosen by a prominent party; living in a state five hundred miles farther west than that in which any president has ever lived, he has grown in the affections of the people as the years have passed. 1 , "Speaking and writing freely on all subjects, his heart has had no secrets and his friends have increased in num bers and in confidence. "Without an organization to urge his claims, without a campaign fund to circulate literature in his behalf; without patronage to bribe a single voter; without a predatory corpora tion to coerce its employers into his support; without a subsidized news paper to mnuence the public mind, he has won a signal victory at the pri maries and has become the free choice of the militant democracy of the na "Forming in one unbroken phalanx, extending from Massachusetts to Cal ifornia, and from Michigan to the everglades, the yeomanry of the party have volunteered their services to make him the party candidate; and they will not lay down their arms un- nation s saw .
