the convention in a manner BETTING the

on, ito stand up and vote for Major Nc
Kinley in this crisis, but, as Mr.. Fair
child says, this action we have taken to-
day Is the proper course and we should
keep alive the doctrine Of Democracy.
The leopard cannot change his spots. nor
can a man change his political opinion in
a day. We here adopted last May the
principles which underlie the Democratic
faith. and we cannot change them in
three months
q will not follow leaders who, although
they have led as In the past, would now
lead us to destruction. Ny religious creed
IS the same today as 1t was on May z.
MY political creed Is the same as it was
on May Z No convention can tell me to-
day that my convictions today are not
they We're three months ago, any
more than a decree of a government can
tell me there Is no God"
The Provisional Committee was made
permanent and empowered to select an
electoral ticket for the nominees of the
Indianapolis convention.
