A. strong cordon ol police stretched about the audito rium and the sidewalks were roped off to assist the officers in handling tbe throngs gathered about the hall. On two streets fronting the audito rial! great banks of snow gave a Sg greeting to the visitors. These Z Veen brought by special trains from the mountains, but the day was by no means hot, and the only effect of the snow was the' novelty of un icy street scene In July. The apparent conveniences, facili ties and architectural fitness of the new auditorium for convention pur poses was remarked by practically every delegate who filed In. ' The doors of the convention hall were opened at 11:10, and It began to fill immediately, the bund playing a med ley. 1 Chairman Taggart ascended the rostrum shortly before noon. The band was playing "Dixie," und there was great cheering. While Taggart was striving to bring the convention to order a party bearing banners and Itryan's portrait came In, causing loud cheering.

July 7. Temporary Chair-1 y" man Hell, of the national Democratic convention, spoke as follows upon as suming the gavel: "We have assembled at a time when tile public ronsclenre Is de manding honesty of purpose lie tbe men who undertake to direct the al f.iirs of state. Tile publte eye is Keenly sensitive to tvery politiral .noveuiciil, and our proceedings ben1 a ill be approved acronling o the legree of sincerity apparing In the work of this convention. There is a . uiespread belief, founded upon evi leuee of a convincing character, that .he party in power has not been true ;o its trust, that It has betrayed the -"!umuu interests into the hands of ;he enemies of good government. :hi'reby forfeiting Its right and des tr. lying Its ability to rule in the name of the people. "Apparent to everyone Is the fact that way down In the heart of the republican convention at Chicago there was a feeling of anger und re sentment over the popular clamor for reforms; and it Is equally patent that there is no bona fide intention on the part of the republican party of granting the reforms, If the ma chinery of that party can be retained In present hands. Its paper platform, divided like ancient Gaul Into three parts barren promises, make-shifts and evasions It Is hoped will make a good campaign transparency; but no one seriously believes that the re publican party really endorses that neutral manuscript which held the convention togtehcr until It could ratify the nomination of a presi dential candidate. "Approaching our great task In a manly, dignified manner. Imbued with the loftiest sentiments of pa triotism, ambitious to throw every safeguard around the liberties of our people, determined to Btnmp out the abuses that are consuming' the sub stance of the nation, let us proceed to our appointed duty with the sus taining consciousness that we are responsible alone to God and to our country for the Justine of our cuuse. "There are three things that this convention should do. It ought to present. In a plain and Intelligible manner the serious industrial and political conditions that are disturb ing the peace and happiness of our country. We should then proceed to n courageous exposure of the re publican policies that are co-operating with private greed In the gen eral oppression of the people. Most Important of all, we must, exhibit u readiness and an ability to grasp the problems of this hour and to efr feci their solution In a manner that will sntisfy the sober, sense of the multitudes whose interests are ut stake. "Among the great evils that af flict the country at the present time Is tho business of corporate power. At first the advancing aggressions of the corporations are not discernible to tho common eye, for every move Is carefully covered up until, suffi cient political strength is attained to defy the protests of the people. Thus the constant and Insidious Invasion of the people's rights finally results In a species of nrrngnnce and de fiance so formidable In Its appear ance that the body of the people, In fear of even worse aggressions, hes itate to assert and exercise their rightful authority over these colossul enemies of the commonwealth. And so we behold a subversion of our free institutions, voluntarily subordinat ing Itself to selfish private ends, spe cial privileges, resorting to cunning. bribery, and Inllmldatlon to mululaln Its unholy power, while the masses timidly hope that when avarice has at last reached t Ik point of satiety it will then benevolently permit the people to resume their rightful share In the government of themselves. Whenever the milt terlngs of the peo ple heroine too t lireutenlng tile, cry of confiscation goes up and appeals are frantically made to the sacred rights of property. This is Intended to affright the cars of honest men In the enjoyment of the fruits of their Industry und thrift and by thus play ing upon I heir prejudiced and fears to defer lliem from casting their in fluence upon the side of wholesome reforms. Tile cry of confiscation Is the historic defense' of usiii-pal ion. I.et Hie people Hike warning. Wh"ii ever Hie wrongs of t'ldny le'rom- the rights of tonioi;row the nation is In deiidly peril. "The d"mucr;illr parfy Is no: the enemy of property; hut to the con trary, It has always slnod, and will continue to stand, firmly against very species of aggression that would dislry or weaken the right of any mail to enjoy the rewards to which his patience, his skill, his in dustry and his economy entitle lilin. Our parly approves that feeling of prld" which always, accompanies the possession of property and it com mends an Individual ownership in the soil that will bring to Die homes of America more of the ronvenlences. romforts and" luxuries of life. Against thi' evils of specliil privi li't'i' we urge the benefits of e(iial op- poriunlty in order that Ihe.re may lie more land owners, more homes and more happiness among l:e masei. "The democratic party Is not an enemy of all corporations. It rec- THEODORE A. BELL rtT-Itepresentntiyc in emigres from Napa, Oil., who ligures prominciiVh in tne Democratic campaign as V ognlzes their great value in the in dustrial world. Through the agency of corporations scattered wealth Is brought together and given a driv ing force that It would not otherwise possess. Great enterprises are there by undertaken itnd the undeveloped resources of the country added to the wealth of the world. Our party is not opposed to production on a large scale, but Is unalterably opposed, to. monopoly In production. It is easier Uy prevent monopoly than it is to con trol it after it is established. With-, druwal of special privileges will take away the meat upon which the trusts are Ted. If this be followed by crim inal prosecution nnd imprisonment of, directors und officers of the guilty corporation, monopoly will be shorn of many of Its terrors." , "The radical mini can be opposed to corporations ns such and the as-. surtlon that the democratic party . Is waging an Indiscriminate war agalnat this form of transacting business has no foundation In fact. It is the abuse of corporate power that we seek to eliminate. "Viewed In the light ef a great moral question, the control of cor porations should remain a question of common concern rather than a political one; hut the shameful com placence of the republican party in permitting its forces to be controlled and operated by the most offending corporations of the country throws the problem into the political arena 'and compels the public to choose be tween the democratic party that will. and the republican pnrlv that will (Continued on Page Five.)
