Crises ariBe In the life of natlonij tlon. But we may go farther,
which endanger their Institution and
at time. Imperil the advance or civ
Ulxatlon. Every people that haa left 1U Im
press upon history haa faced such crl
Isea. In most Instances, where grave dan
ger have threatened the safety of the
state, some great character, some mas
ter mind has been found, produced aa
It were by the conditions themselves,
with capacity to direct aright the en
ergies of the people.
This was true of the ancient world;
It has been true of the modern
world; It is true of this republic.
We have such a crisis to meet to
day. The favor-seeking corporations
have gradually strengthened their
hold upon the government until they
Bow menace popular Institutions.
The question Is, whether this gov
ernment shall be restored to the con
trol of the people and be administer
ed in the Interests of all. or whether
It shall remain an instrument in the
hands of the few for levying tribute
upon all the rest.
In his special message to congress
last winter President Roosevelt de
clared, substantially, that certain
wealthy men who have become enor
mously rich by oppressing the wage
earner, defrauding the public and
practicing all forms of iniquity, have
handed together, and by the unlimited
tu of money endeavor to secure free
dom from restraint and to overthrow
and discredit all who honestly admin
ister the law.
That the methods by which these
men have acquired their great for
tunes can only be justified by a sys
tem cf morality, that would permit
every form of criminality, every form
of violence, corruption and fraud.
For many years, and especially
during- the last 12 years, these very
men have been in control of the re
publcan party; they have financed
every campaign of that party for a
quarter of a century.
These exploiters of the people,
whom the president nas so scathingly
denounced, have given their enthusi
astic support to the republican can
didates and policies. They laid their
hands upon the trust funds of insur
ance companies and other corpora
tions and turned the plunder over to
the republican committee. The money
thus filched fro.n the Innocent and
helpless, to purchase republican vic
tory, has not been repaid.
And where do we find these men
today? Where are the "swollen for
tunes" of which we have heard so
much? Just where we would expect
to find them supporting the republi
can ticket and furnishing the sinews
of war for the republican committee,
as usual. - -
Republican Platform Scorns Rooee
rest Reforms.
The platform adopted by the late
conventln shows what the republican
party in truth represents. Although
controlled by the friends of Roosevelt
and Taft, In framing the platform ev
ery genuine reform which Roosevelt
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 denounced
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 hypocracy and de
ception has been torn from the face
of those who pretend to favor the
policies of the president, and we now
know why the "system" admires Taft,
Tolerates Roosevelt, and hates the
senator from Wisconsin. When com
pelled 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"
may be depended upon to contribute
on the other, the republican party re
jected the people and continued its al
liance with Mammon.
If the charges made by the presl.
dent are true and they are true we
are Indeed face to face with a situa
tion as grave as any In our history.
How Bhall it be met? The good sense,
patriotism and united action of the
people alone can remedy present evils.
To wage a successful fight we must
have a leader. The republican par
ty, dominated by the seekers of spe
cial privileges, cannot furnish him.
Republicans who really desire reform
are powerless; the efforts of the pres
ident have been futile.
The democratic party must furnish
the leader which present condition
demand, and he must be a man known
to be free from the Influences that
control 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 truth one who knows no
surrender. He must have a genius
for statecraft he must be a man of
wide experience in public affairs; he
mu6t 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 people know and trust.
The democratic party has many dis
tinguished men who might be chosen
as our standard bearer; but It has one
man who above all others possesses
the necessary qualifications and is
eminently fitted for this leadership.
He Is a man whose nomination will
leave no doubt as to where our party
stands on every public question. His
genius for statecraft Is shown by the
constructive work he has done in pro
posing reforms, and by the ability
with which be has fortified his post-
A few months ago he visited the
principal nations of the world. He
cume 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.
Ili-van An International Character.
In the most distinguished peace
convention that has assembled In re
cent years, he proposed a plan, which
if adopted, would prove more effective
than any arbitration treaty that has
yet been made, and by his influence
he secured Its approval by the rep
resentatives of the 26 leading nations
there assembled.
Is he thoroughly informed regard
ing the issues of this campaign? Read
his speeches and his writings, which
for nearly 20 years have been a part
of the political literature of the na
tion. Is he sincere, brave and deter
mined? Even his political opponents
now admit that he Is.
I have had a close personal and po
litical acquaintance with this man,
whose name Nebraska presents, since
he entered political life. I can testi
fy from observation as to his political
conduct before he waa 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 na
tion; and he has been honeat through
out his political career.
His convictions have been his po
litical creed. He has impressed those
convictions upon others, not by dic
tation, but by arguments addressed to
the judgment and the conscience.'
Believing in the ultimate triumph
of the right, he has never examined
questions from the standpoint of ex
pediency. He has never Inquired
whether a political principle was
popular; It has been sufficient for
him to believe that it .was right.
He has been a consistent champion
of- the rights of the states. He fa
vored the election of senators by di
rect vote before the house of repre
sentatives ever acted favorably upon
the subject. He championed tariff
reform when the west was the hot-bed
of protection.
He favored an Income tax before
the income tax law was written- He
attacked the 'trusts when republican
leaders were denying that any trusts
existed. He advocated railroad regu
lation before the crusade against re
bates and discrimination began.
He has always been the friend of
labor, and was among the first to
urge concilatlon betwen labor and
capital. He began to oppose govern
ment by injunction more than a de
cade ago. He announced his opposi
tion to imperialism before any other
man of prominence had expressed
himself on the subject, and without
waiting to see whether It would be
popular.
When a Wall street panic burst up
on us a few months ago he promptly
proposed as a remedy the guarantee
of bank deposits, and so popular haa
this plan become that it Is today a na
tional issue and supported by the
masses of the people. He has long
advocated legislation which will se
cure publicity aa to campaign contri
butions. 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 finaj
victory.
A Man of Courage.
Through years of unparalleled po
litical welare, his loyalty to his ideals
and to his fellow men has been abun
dantly shown. His refusal to surren
der his convictions, though subjected
to abuses, denunciation and vlndlc
tlve opposition such as few public
men In all history have been compell
ed to withstand, Is ample proof of his
superb courage.
His career proves that successful
leadership Is determined by the sue
cess or failure of great principles
rather than by election to high office
We have met to plan the campaign
and to commission the commander
under whom the masses will enlist,
We are not here In response to the
voice of expediency; neither political
bouses nor corporate masters have
sent us here. We are here at the
summons of the rank and file of that
political organization which Is the
special defender of the rights of the
common people.
We are here representing all that
Is best in the traditions of our party;
we feel again the spirit that animated
the democracy In the days of Jeffer,
son and Jackson.
The voters have spoken, and we as
semble to give expression of their
will. Their voice for the third time
calls Nebraska's favorite son to be
the standard bearer of his party In
this gigantic contest
.Since tlme'began no grander tribute
was ever paid to any man by a free
people. He Is recognized today asr
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 leaders have been cast.
First nominated when 10 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 haa ewer lived, he has
grown In the affections of the people
as the years have passed.
A Noted Cooking- Authority
Endorses Cottoleime
Marion Harland Says:
"COTTOLENE is now so well and favorably known and so widely
nsed that it needs no word of introduction or commendation from me.
The most eminent of American chemists justly says that it ' possesses
all desirable qualities of lard without the objectionable features inher
ent in all products obtained from swine.'
"COTTOLENE the desirable' substitute, is purer, more healthful,
and more economical than lard."
When Marion Harland, one of the best known and
most reliable food experts of the day, recommends
COTTOLENE in such glowing and unqualified terms,
you may be sure of its purity and healthfulness.
COTTOLENE is made from pure Cotton Seed oil
refined by a special process. Because it contains noth
ing but healthful ingredients, it cannot help but make
healthful food. It produces light, crisp, easily digested
pastry, doughnuts, cakes, cookies, bread and biscuits.
It is economical, too, one-third less being required than
of either lard or cooking butter.
Prove the merits of COTTOLENE to your own
satisfaction by a personal test. It has always been
granted highest award wherever exhibited in competi
tion with other cooking fats.
Psittnlono is fliiarnnWrl We hereby authorize your grocer to
uottoiene is uuaranteea refund your money in case y0U're not
pleased after having given COTTOLENE a fair test.
NovAt in Rnllr COTTOLENE is packed in pails with a patent
llCVCr tJUlU III VUIIV airtieht top, to keep it clean, fresh and whole
some; also to prevent it from absorbing the disagreeable odors of the grocery,
such as fish, oil, etc.

Nature's Gift from the Sunny South
Speaking and writing freely on all
subjects, his heart has had no secrets
and his friends have increased in
number 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 employes Into his
support; without a subsidized newspa
per to influence the public mind, he
has won a signal victory at the pri
maries and haa become the free choice
of the mlllltant democracy of the nation.
Forming In one unbroken phalanx,
extending from Massachusetts to Cal
ifornia, and from Michigan to the
everglades, the yeomanry of the par
ty have volunteered their services to
make him the party candidate; and
they will not lay down their arms un
til they have made him the nation's
chief executive. "
Nebraska's democracy which saw
In him, when a young man, the signs
of promise, places In nomination as
the standard bearer of our party the
man who In the thrilling days of '
and 1900 bore the battle-scarred ban
ner of democracy with fame as un
sullied and fidelity as spotless aa the
crusaders of old. Nebraska presents
his name because Nebraska claims his
dwelling place, and proudly enrolls
him among her citizens; but his home
Is In the hearts of the people.
I obey the command of my state
and the mandate of the democracy of
the nation when I offer the name of
America's great commoner, NebraS'
lyi's gifted son, William Jennings Bit

In his canvass for funds to maintain

This trivial sum will Insure that bril
liancy which was commented on dur
ing the Fourth of July celebration.
Just as soon as the buxlness men to
the number of 75 have subscribed to
the fund, the lights will be turned on
at night.
