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.
