A1' iv -m,i rfi "THREE BRYAN SHELLS THE DEMOCRATIC CAMP Says Platform That Represents Judge Parker Is Only Fit fo a Dis honest Patty Chicago, April 26. Before a crowd jf people which filled tho Second Regl. lent armory until the police for safe ty reasons would permit no more to 3nter, "William Jennings Bryan spoke lis disapproval of Judge Alton B. Parker and the recently adopted lew York jlatform. The vast audience received his per oration enthusiastically. In his audi- fence were many ministers, represent ing numerous denominations, all there bn the personal Invitation of the speaker, who said: "I desired to have he ministers attend because they can bd should exert an Influence In be Llf of honesty and fairness In poll- ks." Mr, Bryan had said he would not Jje sides with any particular candi date for the honor of carrying the Banner of Democracy In tho coming jatttlo of national ballote, but he lid not say he would not take sides Igalnst a particular candidate and he Id not deviate from his expressed jurpose. Ho aid not take sides with ly one, but ho most decidedly took ides against Judge Parker. ;HIs Bpeeech was In part as follewa: Address of Bryan. "As It Is somewhat unusual for a residential speech, to bo made as us one is tonight, let me preface By remarks with an explanation." I red this hall and I Introduced my- llf because I do not care to speak ider the auspices of any club or rganlzatlon that Is committed to any irtlcular aspirant for office. :"My concern Is not about the name the personality of tho nominee, it about the principles for which le Democratic party Is to stand. jw that Mr. Parker seems to bo the fading candidate (though not the iy candidate) among tho reorgan- 9, 1 deslro to present somo reasons ly ho cannot be considered as an available candidate for nomination, and find these reasons not In his personality, but in his position upon public questions. "For a year he has been urged to speak out and declare himself upon the important issues of the campaign, but he has remained silent. Whatever doubt may ihave existed on this sub ject heretofore ha3 been dispelled by tho platform adopted by tho New York state convention and taking this platform as a text, I am sanguine enough to believe that I can prove to every unbiased mind that Judge Par ker Is not a fit man to be nominate! either by tho Democratic party or by any other party that stands for hon 03t or fair dealings In politics. "This platform can fairly bo re garded as his declaration on public questions, and what does the platform Bay?" He then dissected the platform sec tion by section and centinued: Principle of Republicans. "A Republican could run on thnt platform and the elected man construe It as an endorsement of every policy for which tho Renubllenn unrtv stands. j "What are tho issues before the country? Tho trust question is cer- tninly an issue and yet there Is noth-j lng In that platform that gives any encouragement to the opponents of the trusts. "Imperialism is an issue and yet there is not In this platform a single word relating to tho question of imperialism. "The labor question Is an issue. Tho laboring man has been before tho committeees of congress endeavoring to secure three Important measures. One Is the arbitration of differences between corporations engaged in in terstate commerce and their employes. Both the Chicago and Kansas City platforms declared in favor of arbl tration butath'e4Nfew Yo?$ platform noi only iaiisto rerer to tno aroi tration plank) of these .platforms; but it fails to write a new plank covering that subject. "Tlie laboring men are ateo trying to secure an eight-hour day, but tho New York platform is silent on this subject. "Tho laboring men are trying to se cure thpieabolltlon of government by injunction. Both the Chicago and Kansas City platforms contained planks on this subject, but tho New York platform dodges this, as it does all other vital questions. Tariff Issue Evaded. "On the tariff question no Issue 13 Joined. It is reasonable to suppose that on- this question, at least, some thing would be said, but Mr. Hill and Mr. Parker seem to be a3 much afraid of the tariff question, ns other Issues. "Tho money question Is Ignored en tirely. No reference is made to bi metallism at any ratio not oven to international bimetallism to which Mr. Hill seemed to bo so attached In tho Chicago convention. No rcferenco is made to the measure now before con gress to melt almost COO.OOO.OOO legal tender silver dollars Into a subsidiary coin that is only a limited legal ten der. ' Nothing is said about tho asset currency, which Is a part of tho schemo of the financiers. Nothing is said about the Aldrlch bill, which pro. poses to subsidize tho banks into op position to tax reduction by loaning them the surplus money in tho treas ury There is no condemnation of tho corruption that such a system would lead to. Tho platform does not an tagonize tho proposition now before congress to give tho national banks unlimited control over the volume of paper money. In other words, thoro is not a lino in the platform that is wrlttten in behalf of the peoplo; not a lino that will excite criticism in Wall Street. "Tho platform ignores tho incomo tax; It falls to indorse tho election of senators by direct vote and also omits tho plank of the Kansas City platform denouncing corporate domination in politics. Platform Is Dishonest. "Tho New York platform Is a dis honest platform, fit for only a dis honest party. No one but an artful dodger would stand upon It. Tho submission of such a platform to the The Proper Shoe to Weat " When yot huy a pai of shoes you needn't wotty about the shape of them; if you huy of a iitst class deal er he will have only the ptopet shapes. What you need to consider is, are the shoes comfortable and will they wearj next thing price. About the looks, you can judge when you see them; about the com fort you can Judge when you put them on; about the wearing, see tnat ' the name SeU is on them. "' Sete prices are always tight 1 - The Sek Royal Blue Shpes"$3l5Wi . and $4.00. - . voters of a state is an Insult to their intelligence, for if "is Intended to de celvo them. VThis. platform proves that tho op- posuiom to mo Kansas city platform is not opposition to slivor, but oppo sition to every needed reform and op position to all that the masses desire. "I had expected that a platform prepared by Mi. Hill for Judgo Par. ker would he evasive and lacking In frankness, but I did not conceive that any body of men calling themselves Democrats would present such a plat form as a recommendation of a candi date. If we are to take tho Now York platform m nn In licntlon of -what the next Democratic platform is to bo, In case the reorganlzers control the convention, then who will bo ablo to .deny, the secret purpose of the re- organizers to turn the party over to predatory wealth? "The division of the supremo court in the merger cubs- shows tho clovor age on the trust case. The dissenting' Judges would deny the power of con- gress to prevent a private monopoly and when the power of congress to destroy monopolies is denied, tho peo- pie are left helpless, because somo of the states such as Delaware and Now Jersey, find It profitable to pormlt mo crouuon 01 tnese monopolies, and so long as they are created and Cnn evade tho laws, they will exist. "The dlsEentlng judges In tho mer ger tnse refuse td draw a distinction between an Individual and a corpor-' atlon. Rights of Property. "Rights of property are, according to tho dissenting Judges supreme and when congress tries to prevent a monopoly, It Is Interfering with 'tho rights of proptrey.' Tho Ibsuo pre sented today In tho trust question and In all the other questions with which -wo have to deal Is the question between human rights and so-called 'property rights' or more properly speaking, between ordinary people and tho great corporations. Thoso that believe that property rights aro supreme take the side of tho trusts. If wo had a president in sympathy with this theory It means that tho dol lar would be givan consideration be fore tho man. "No Democrat Is more anxious for tho party to succeeed than I am. No ono has suffered more from dissension and divisions In tho pnrty, and no ono I bellove, is more eager for tho coun try to enjoy the great bonefltB which a triumph of real Democracy would bring. But I do not deslro thnt tho party shnll win offices only. "No ono cnn defend tho Democratic party without defending Its principles, , and Its principles ought to bo so clear ly sot forth as to be easlnly under stood. To present a platform that Is jevaslvo and ambiguous shows that , those that wrote the platform cither distrust the poople, who aro to net jupon It.or have purposes that they uesiro to conceal. "Tho New York platform 13 am- I utKuuuB, uiiquriain, evasive anu ais- honest. It would dlsgraco tho Demo crats of tthe nation to ndopt such a platform, .and ought to defeat, as an aspirant for a Democratic nomination, any man-that, would be willing to have It go forth as a declaration of his vlows'bn publlo. questions. "Tho reorganlzers' scheme begins with tho decqpjlon of the rank and file of the parly. It Is to be followed by the debauching of tho public with a campaign fund secured from the corporations, and It Is to bo consum mated by tho betrayal of tho party organization into tho hands of thoso that aro today menacing tho liberty of tho country by their speculations on tho producers of wonlth." 5L!
