Bryan, John W. Kern audi Adlal Stevenson, attracted olio of tho largest crowds that ever attended a political demonstration In Peoria. An tho state convention proceed ings were purely of a perfunctory character, the Interest In the gather ing centred In the apcoch-mnkliiK. tt Mrynii arrived from Chicago un der escort of a Inrku delegation re presenting the Cook county democ racy. Mr. llryan and Mr. Kern are to apeak on issues of the national campaign. The address of Mr. Ste venson will mark the formal Inaugu ration of his campaign for tho gov ernorship. I Mr. llryan stild In part: 'There Is no twilight lone between the nation and the state In which the exploiting Interests can lake re fuge from both. There Is no neutral ground where, beyond tho jurisdic tion of either sovereignty, tho plun derers of the public can find a safe I retreat. As long aa a corporation confine Its activities to the state In which It w its created. It la aiibject to state regulation only; but aa aoon aa It Invadea intoraliite commerce It bo comea amenable to federal lawa m well as the laws of the atate which created It and the lawa of the sta'os In which It does business. How atrlct can these lnws be? .lust aa atrlct ns may bo necessary for the protection of the public. Our platform outlines the reguliv tlon doomed nocesaniy. and the reg ulation Is specifically aot forth in order that our opponent may not to abl to aoare the public by pre dicting hurtful leglalatlon. Out platform, unlike the republican plat form, says what It moans and means what It says. "A distinction Is drawn between the railroads and other itirporationt. The railroad, being a quasl-pub!'.-corporation and. as auch. being per muted to exorcise a part of the aov eroUnlty of the state, Is subject to regulation ,n n,e handa of both th nation ind the state, but this regula tion is Hnended. not to cripple the .al'.roa.ls but to Increase (heir efft c.encv Pi,, people at largo are as ..null Intel Mod as the stockholders .ue in ilie s'l.'.vsMul operation of tho '''I'd- i l.en- own pecuniary In 'e , .is well .is their sense of Ills ;oe w..u;. lesti.un ill, .in from d.il.u .ii w etild impair t ho road s .11;, lene I'll,. tlilM'f - i i'.ill llileresled In the w .10 s'ifri, ,-nt n, ' t lll' luilll sei u o. for is i .., i, is n i!,.. -e w lie opo; ale the trains, guard the switches and keep the track In repair. The democratic party would dla tlnguUh between those railroad own ers, directors and managers who, recognlziDK their obligation to the public, earn their salaries by con scientious devotion to thtr work en trusted to them, and those unscrupu lous "Napoleons of Finance" who use railroads as mere pawns In a great gambling game without regar.i to thu rights of employes or to the interests of tho ptrons. It Is In the Interest of honest railroading and legitimate Investment that the dem ocratic party seeks to ascertain the present value of the railroad prop-e.-lles and to prevent for the future ne watering of stock nnd the Issue OREGON EASTERN FINAL SURVEY NEARLY FINISHED Harry Collins, who has been wlthJ the Oregon Eastern surveyors In the' Cascnde mountains above Hazel Dell for the past several weeks, arrived i In Eugene yesterday and will remain , here for some time.
