I'.'lli n i urnnri I BRYAN (foiled Iras Imm4 Win.) Denver, July 10. On the theory that fcalf a loaf Is better than none, It may be laid that tlio Paclfla' ooant reoelved ome benefits worth noticing from the Democratic convention. The platform planks wanted by the coast were planed, shaved and whittled until they were nice, smooth planks on wlilchny one may stand without dan for of splntcrs. They ate by no means planks with the bark nn. but the coast ftaiy llnd satisfaction In the fact that they are better than none. Tho original draft of the platform contained several paragrnphs relating to tho exclusion of Asiatic laborers. These Were cut out bofore'the platform was sent to tli convention. As adopted by the convention the platform con tained this reference to the Asiatic prob lem: "We ore opposed to the admission of Asiatic emlKiuntn who cannot be amal gamated with our population, or whose jresenc amonc us would raise a race issue and Involve us in diplomatic con troversles with oriental powers." The attitude of the Democratic party lenders was one of trying to please the 1'uUtlc coast und at the same time not do anything offensive to Japan. They contended that the mikado's government would regard any decisive statement Bgalnst the Japanese as an open Insult. They were willing from the first to adopt a conservative plank, but not the radical one, which particularly specified the Japanese, which the coast wanted. Ho Aid to Coast Defense. Coast defense doesn't get any help. There was an attempt to Incorporate a Strong coast defonso plank n the plat form, but It was not successful. The tavy plank eays: "We hold that the constitutional pro vision that a navy shall be provided Knd maintained means an adequate iiavy, and we believe that the Interests jjf this country would best be served by having a navy adequate to defend the coasts of this country." The drafting of this nlank hinged upon whether the words greater navy" cr "adequate navy" should be used. Itryan declared for the latter term and cautioned the platform makers not to Indorse a "large navy." This plank also Is in the nature of a compromise. The Democratie prty says there should be a navy "adequate" to protect our coasts, but not a "large" navy. A strong attempt was made to ad vocate leaving the shins now In the TVicfflc In western waters, but nothing was left of this plank except the ree onirnendution that tho navy be made adequate to protest botli coasts. Despite the lack of radical ontl-Jap-snetio and coast defense measures, the 1'ai lric coast by comparing the Demo cratic procedure with that or the jte pulillcnn party has not fared bndly, even though the planks were trimmed bo as to fit FtniKly into a platform that would not annoy any one with rougli edges. Banking; Two Thirds Bnle. The very Inst plank to he adopted by the committee wns that deallnc'wlth traits and monopolies. The declara tion on banks, which includes emergency currency, the guarantou of vank de posits, and a postal savings bank sys tem, wan also the subject of lengthy de bat u. and wan next to the last plank to te agreed upon. A proposition offered bv Oovernor Noel of Mississippi that "hereafter a majority vote shall bo sufficient to ef fert the nomination of any candidate for president or vice-president in the r-itlfiunl Democratic convention," in- j Flrn1 of the two-thirds rule now cxist lng. had been defeated by -a rising vote. Anti-Polygamy Shut Out. The most interesting incident, how ever, in the closing hours of the session of tile committee was the refusal to put into the platform a declaration In con demnation of riolvpnuty offered by for mer Senator K red TV Dubois of Idaho In Its support Dubois had made nn Im passioned speech. In opposition, no less earnest were the remarks of former Congressman King, the member from 1'lnh. The proposed plank was defeat ed ,y a vote of 20 nays to IS ayes. Senator Dubois attributes his defeat direetlv til the influence of Bryan, who, lie claims, personally directed his rep resentatives on the committee to ex clude all reference to the polygamy question from the platform Charles Kryan. t lie brother of the nominee for the presidency, heard dur ing the day t tin t Dubois was making these assertions and telcuraphcd to Lin coln for Information. In reply he re ceived the following telegram from W. J. Hryan: "I have not taken any part or o- Fressed any opinion on the subject re erred to in your telegram. There are several states especially interested in that subject, and I think they should all be permitted to nrc-ent their views, and that the committee nnVesolutions should then decide tho question according to Its Judgment. It will not be influenced one Wv or another by me." This was the only fight in the resolu tions committee that wns at nil close. Bryan's Will Was t!ia aside. All through the deliberations of the plwtfortn enmnilttee disputed Atiest'ons Were nettled bv the final rtnt' merit. "Mr. Itryan want" It this way." There was a lively debate over the tariff plank, which wns settled by a lonir dis tance telephone message to the Nebras knn The members of the p-enernl resolu tions committee who were not on tire subcommittee that actually drafted the platform worn not so docile as the sub committee had expected when thev told the convention authorities thev would have the platform ready for a 7 o'clock session. There were a dozen men who. nan something to say on nearly every plnnk, and thev said it. Plnnk sfter plnnk was sent back for revision Ver biage was changed, whole paragraphs left out or sentences Injected There were two factions which contributed to the delav. Tire conservatives were prratlv in the minority. The general committee changes were for the most part on the side of radicalism. Denver, July 10. Dunn' speech, placing Bryan in nomination, follows: Crises arise in the life of nations which endanger their Institutions and, at times, Imperil the advance of civili sation. Every people that has left It im press upon history has faced such crises. In most Instances, where grave dan gers have threatened the safety of the state, some great character, some mas ter mind has been found, produced as It were by the conditions themselves, with capacity to direct aright the energies qi i ne people. This was true of the ancient world It has been true of the modern world; n is true of this republic. We have such a crisis to meet today. The favor-seeking corporations have gradually strengthened their hold upon me government until tney now menace popular institutions. The question Is. whether this govern ment shall be restored to the control of the people and be administered In the interest of all. or whether it shall rc main an Instrument in the hands of the few for levying tribute upon all the rest. In bis special message to congress Inst winter President Roosevelt de clared, substantially, that certain wealthy men who have become enorm ously rich by oppressing the wage earner, defrauding the public and prac ticing all forms df iniquity, have banded together, und by the unlimited use of money, endeavor to secure freedom from restraint and to overthrow and discredit all who honestly administer the law. That the methods by whloh these men have acquired their great fortunes can only be Justified by a system of morality that would permit every form of crimi nality, every form of vollence, corrup tion and fraud. For many years, and especially during the last 12 years, these very men have been In control of Uie Republican party; they have financed every campaign of that rarty for a quarter of a century. These .exploiters of the people, whom the president has so scathingly de nounced, have given their enthusiastic support to the Republican candidates and policies. They laid their hands upon the trust funds of Insurance com panies and other corporations and turned the plunder over to tho Repub lican committee. The money thus niched from the Innocent and helpless, to purchnso Republican victory, has not been repaid. And where do we find these men to day? Where are the "swollen fortunes" of which we have hoard so much? Just where we would expect to find them I supporting the Republican ticket and j furnishing the sinews of war for the Republican committee, as usual. The platform adopted by the late con vention shows what tho Republican party In truth represents. Although controlled by the friends of Rooseveit and Tuft. In framing the platform every genuine reform which Roosevelt has ad vocated wns scorned and trampled be neath the Iron heel of the predatory masters of tho Republican party. Tho Wisconsin delegation which favored j placing a few reform planks In the j platform was denounced with sneers as j being Socialistic and ' Democratic, and j the convention, by a vote of 8 to 1, repudiated the reforms that the present administration claims to favor, I Honesty Is Inherent in him. He was an honest lawyer before he entered i politics. He was honest in his politi- i cal methods before his statemanship was recognized by the nation; and b.ei has been honest throughout his politi- i cal career. I have had a close personal acquaint- I ance with this man, whose name Ne- ; braska presents, since he entered po-j lltical life. I can testify from observa- i tion as to his political eonuuet before Eg he was known to fame. Ho was honest, M brave and unyielding then; he Is honest brave and unyielding now.
