mi ,, DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEJL QREGQX. FRlAy, JULY 1Q, 1000 3 SPEECH OF DUNN 1 NOMINATING BRYAN r Crises arise in'jthe life of nations which endanger 1 1 their 'institutions and, at times, imperil, the advance of civilization. Every peoplelthnt lins left Its im press upon history has faced such orlses. In most Instances, where grave 'dangers have threatened the safety of the state, some great character, some master mind has been found, produced as it wore by the condition? themselves, with capacity to direct aright the energies of the people. This was true of the ancient world; it has been true of the mod ern 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 now menace popular institutions. The question 1b, whether this gov ernment shall bo restored to the control of the people and be ad ministered In the interest of all, or whether it shall remain an instru ment in tho hands of the few for levying tribute upon all tho rest. In his special messngc to congress Inst winter President Roosevelt de clared, substantially, that certnhi wealthy men who have become enoi motiBly rich by oprcsslng tho wngo earner, defrnuding tho public and practicing all forms of iniquity, hnvo banded together, and by tho unlim ited use of money, endeavor to se cure freedom from restraint and to overthrow and discredit all who lion-o-tly administer tho law. That tho methods by' which these men have acquired their great for tunes can only bo Justified by n sys tem of 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 publican pnrty; they have flnnnced every campaign of that party for a quarter of a century. These exploiters of the people, whom the Preldent has so scathing ly denounced, hnvo given their en thuslactic support to tho Ropubllca l -nndldntes and policies.. They laid tbelr hands upon the trust funds of Insurance companies nnd other cor porations nnd turned tho plunder over to the Republican committee. The money thus filched from the In nocent nnd helples?, to purchase Rc publ'cAn victory, has not been re paid. ' And whoro do wo find theio men todny? Whore aro the "swollen for tunes" of which we havo heard so much? Just where wo would expect to find them supporting ho Re publican ticket nnd furnishing tho sinews of war for the Republican committee, ns usual. "Tho platform adopted by the lato Republican convention shows what tho Republican party in truth represents. In framing the plat form, every genuine reform- which the present has advocated wrs scorned and repudiated. Tho "Wis consin delegation asked that one or two reform planks be pluced in the platform, and for its pnlns was de nounced a Democratic. Tho conven tion by a vote of eight to one refund to approve those policies which the PresUent for four years has been urging upon his party. Tho mask of hvpocrlsy has been torn from the 'nee rf those who protend to favor he reforms advocated. by the presi de, and 't is now apparent why the v.

But above all, ho must have faith In tho people. He must not only be lieve, in the right of the people to govern;" but in their capacity to do so. And hemust be a -man whom tho 'people" know' and 'truBt. Tho Democratic party has many distinguished men who might be chosen ns our standard bearer; but it has one mnn who above qll others po?:3EeB tho nece3Bary qualifica tions nnd is eminently fitted for this leadership. He is a man whoso nomination will leave no doubt as to whore our party stands on every public ques tion. His genius for, state-craft Is Bhown by tho constructive work he has dono In proposing reforms, and by the ability with which ho has fortified his position. But we may go farther. A few month? since ho visited the principal nations of tho world. He came In contact with tho loading minds of Christendom, and tho world abroad recognized his greatness and paid him that tribute Justly due to men of .high attainments. In the most distinguished peace convention thnt has assembled in re cent years, he proposed a plan, which. If ndoptcd, would provo more effective than any arbitration treaty that has yet been mndc, and by his influence ho secured its approval by tho representatives of tho 20 lend ing nations thcro nsscmbled. Is ho thoroughly Informed regard-, Ing tho Issues of this campaign? hi? speeches and his writings, whlctt for nearly 20 years havo been a part of tho political literature of the na tion. Is ho Blncere, bravo and de termined? Even his polltlcnl op ponent? now admit thnt he Is. I have had a close porsonal ami political acquaintance with this man whoso nnmo Nebraska presents, since he entered polltlcnl life. I can t03 tlfy from observation ns to his po lltlcnl conduct before ho was known to fame. Ho was honest, bravo and unyielding then; ho 1b honest, brave and unyielding now. Honesty is inherent in him, Ho was an honest lawyer boforo ho en tered politics. Ho was hono3t In his political methods beforo his state manshlp waB recognized by tho na tion; and ho has been honest throughout Ills polltlcnl career. His convictions havo boon his po litical creed. Ho has impressed thoso convictions. upon othors, not by dic tation, but by arguments addressed to tho Judgment and tho conscience. Believing in tho ultimate triumph of tho right, ho has never examined questions from tho standpoint of ex pediency. He has never Inquired whether a political prlnclplo was popular; It haB been Bufllclont for him to believe that It wns right. He has been a consistent champion of tho resorvod rights of tho states.. He favored tho election of senators by direct vote before tho House of Representatives ever acted favorably upon the subject. Ho championed tariff reform when the West was tho hot-bed of protection. Ho favored an Income tax before tho Income tax law wns written. He attacked the trusts when Republi can leaders were donying that any truets existed. He advocated rail road regulation boforo tho crusade against rabatos and discrimination began. He has always been the friend of labor, and. was among the first to urge concllntlon between labor and capital. He began to oppose gov ernment by Injunction more than n decade ago. He announced his op po ition to ImperiaMsm before any other mnn of prominence had ex pres?d himself on the subject, ana After Once Tasting Yttfoi no one wants an old-fashioned cod liver oil prepara tion or emulsion, because Vinol is a much better body builder and strength creator for old people,weak children, and for coughs, colds, bron chitis, etc. If it does no good we will return your money.

When a Wnll street panic bum upon us a few months ago he promptly proposed ns n remedy the guaranteo of bank deposits, and so popular has this plan become that it is today a. natlonnl lssuo and sup ported by the masses of the people. Ho ha3 long ndvocated legislation which will secure publicity as to campaign contributions. Ho believes in pence in univers al Chrhtian peace. He believes the destiny of nations should be determ ined, not by wars, but by applying the principles of Justico and human ity . Though these principles hnvo met with uncompromising opposition from the special interests, .he haB re mained true to tho causo of tho peo ple. With clear vision and with un faltering trust, Boeing nnd knowins the truth, ho has never lost faith in its final victory. Through year3 of unparalleled po litical warfare, his loyalty to his Ideals nnd to his fellow men has been nbundnntly shown. His refusal to surrender his convictions, though subjected to nbusos, denunciation and vindictive opposition such as few public men In nil history have been compelled to withstand, is am ple proof of Ills superb courage. His career proves that successful leadership is determined by the suc- co?s or failure of grent principles rather than by election to high of fice. Wo havo mot to plan the campaign and to commlsilon tho commander under whom the masses will enlist. Wo aro not hero in response to the volco of expediency; neither polltlcnl bosses nor corporntc masters sent us here. Wo aro hero nt the sum mons of the rank nnd file of thnt po lltlcnl organization which Is the spe cial defender of tho rights of the common people. Wo aro hero representing all thnt Is best In tho trnditlons of our party; we feel again the spirit that animat ed tho Democracy in the days of Jefferson and Jackson, Tho voterB havo spoken, nnd we assemble to give expression of their will. Their volco for tho third tlmo calh Nebraska's favorite son to bo tho standard bearer of his party in this gigantic contest. Since tlmo began no grander trib ute was over paid to any mnn by n frco people Ho is recognized todny no tho most representative citizen of tho nation, the poor of any living mnn Prlonds nnd foo3 hnvo lenrned that ho was shaped In thnt heroic mold in which tho world's greatest pa triots, statesmen and lenders hnvo boon cast. First nominated when ten yenrs younger than any other presidential candidate over chosen by a promi nent party; living In a stnto 500 miles farther west than that In which any president hns over lived, ho hnB grown in tho affections of tho people as tho years havo passed, Speaking nnd writing freely on nil subjects, his heart has had no sec rets and his friends hnvo increased: in numbers and in confidence. Without an organization to urge his claims; without a campnlgn fund to circulate literature in his behalf; without patronago to hrlbo a single voter; without n predatory corpora tion to coerce Us employees In to his support; without a subsidized newt paper to influonco tho public mind, ho has won a signal victory at the primaries and has becomo tho free choice of tho mllltnnt Democracy of the nation. Forming In ono unbroken pha lanx, extending from Massachusetts to California, and from MIchlgnn to tho ovorgladoB, tho yeomanry of ho party have volunteered their services to make him the party candidate and thoy will not lny down thei nrms until thoy hnve made him tic nation's chfof executive.
