parties known in our history. In closing
Mr.. Schurz said: young men, your aims
cannot be too noble nor your ideal toe
high to suit the taste and win the appre-
citation of your countrymen. If you ask
for proof of this look at the man you
elected president on the Sth of November
After Mr.. Schurz finished speaking,
Hon. L. L. Johnson, congressman from
Ohio, was introduced. He said the Demo
cratic party now faces the responsibility
OF is sweeping victory. IL is the only party
| OF honesty and the party of courage that
can guide it safely. The real danger IS not
from without. but from within. What the
masses demand from the Democratic party
is that its action shall be as radical IS It's
platform. 1t is not the people, but the
leaders who now need education on the
tariff question. a Democratic avalanche
started, it will rend the party that urys to
play with it; it viii crush whoever seeks
to block its way. The will Of the people
will be thwarted and the next Congress par
alyzed if we again elect half-hearted men
4 in the lead. In organizing the new House
let US put in the lead men who will NOT
palter with protection.
Hon. Roger Q. Mills was next intro
duced, and said: ''While l rejoice with
you in the victory we have achieved,

imposed upon US we must show the people
that we are honest in the declarations
made in convention; that we will tax
them but for single purpose, that OF rals-
ing revenue TO support honest government.
Whatever measures we adopt we must see
that they shall not only not impair the
rights of the American people, who labor
and market the profits thereof, but see that

Democratic party.
You Will have TO take the prohibition on
the Importation of goods coming to this
country. In order that we may give en-
plOyment TO labor in our own manpfacJur-
ing industries we must untax every ma
terial that enters into the manufacture,
because me have promised that we shall
deal equally with the American people. L
mean That we must follow principle, no
matter where that principle goes Is 1t
rightl We must abandon a specific system
of taxation that taxes by quantity and
blinds the eyes of taxpayers and nobody
can account FOR il. This is the work be-
fore US, my friends. All we have to DO is
10 follow our chief, support him Loyalty and
stand by promises that he made TO The
people.
Mr. Carlisle was then introduced and
said: ''At last we have reached the position
from which we can see in the not distant
future the plain, unselhsh, patriotic people
Of the country once more in possession of
all the political departments OF our own
government under the leadership of a man
who always had the courage of his convic-
tons and the ability TO perform the work
assigned to him. This is the prospect which
cOmpensdtes US here this evening for many
long years of hard labor, and encourages
the hope of better times still TO come.

and gave it 10 the Associated Press at
their request" Mr.. Crisp then excused
himself and left the hall
An Associated Press representative then
asked ex-Secretary Fairchild for some ex.
PLANTATION of the withdrawal of Speaker
Crisp, and he frankly said the reason MIR
Crisp did not speak was that he was not in
vited to speak. Said Mr.. Fairchild with
some hesitation: There were SO many
Democrats of prominence present that we
could not let them all speak, so we had to
limit the number of speakers. There was
much disappointment in the banquet hall
that Mr.. Crisp did not speak.
