The Numbers Present at This the Second anc
Last Day Of the Democratic Carnival
Larger than Were Ever Seen
in Dallas Before.


and last day of the Democratic carni-
val. in conjunction with the Texas State
Fair, was the most successful from point
of numbers of any political gathering
in the history of the State. 1t is estma-
ted that $4,000 people were present.
Colonel Bryan and party of friends
arrived at 1925 a. m. and he was ac-
corded magnificent ovation.
The meeting was called 10 order by
Chairman Garden and Judge james =.
Tarvin, of Kentucky, was introduced
as the first speaker. Judge Tarvin
said among many other things:
The Democracy OF this nation now
stands upon a declaration of principles
applicable to all classes, all kinds, and oil
conditions. 1t is a declaration suited
not only to the poor, hut to the rich
rs we'll: to those in the East, in the
West, the North and the South; to the
black and to the white alike and IT,
all men without distinction OF race, color
or relation.
I'VE declare that Individual Labor and
individual enterprise constitute the basis
of all that is, of all that has beer and
of all that can be. We assert that every
dollar of wealth i'm This land owes its.
being to the sweat eff labor; that 10
corporation ever created a dollar; that
no trust ever created dollar, and that
no government ever created dollar.
Every corporation ON earth might din,
the world would still live; every trust
in the world might dissolve, the world
still live; every government might 90,
and still the people could live; tbut wher
the sweat of labor ceases TO flow, wiltSll
the back of labor ceases to bear its
burden and when the muscles of labor
cease to strain, then the corporations.
the trusts, the governments and the
world no longer live.
The question is, not as to the exist
ence of wealth, not as to the ability Of
the people of this country to create
wealth, but the question, important and
vital is, as to the distribution OF the
fruits of labor. The demand is, taat
after the labor is done, its fruits be dis
tributed in proportion to the labor doue
The demand is that the fruits of labor
be distributed in accordance with the
natural law that every man is entitled to
receive all that he can earn by his ,vn
labor. The Democracy of today is ie-
handing that the fruits of labor be dis
tributed in accordance with the laws
laws of God, while the organized wealth
of the United States insistss that the
fruits of labor be distributed in accord
ance with the laws of Hanna"
Judge Tarvins address was frequently
interrupted by applause and when he
had concluded there We're loud cries
for Bryan. The Nebraskan stepped for
ward and was enthusiastically received.
He disclaimed being present as a Presi-
Dental candidate and spoke for an hour
on the issues of the day.
The meeting then adjourned until
evening when the dollar dinner closed the
proceedings.
In the afternoon the Young Mems
Democratic Club rendered banquet to
the visiting Jefferson Club of Missouri.
There was a large attendance at the
dollar dinner tonight. The first speaker
of the evening was Hon. Oliver I'll. p.
Belmont, of New York.
Colonel NJ. G. Wetmore followed Mr..
Belmont. He had this to say of trusts:
Under the Republican administration
trusts have been forming and increasing
with wonderful rapidity. The fact that
the legal adviser of the Chief Executive
was appointed from State which is the
breeding ground of trusts lis prima faciel
evidence that he was selected because
OF his intimate knowledge of the laws re-
lating to trusts but whether for the pllr-
pose of furnishing these conspirators the
pnbllc can easily judge for themselves.
THAT no relief can expected
from this source is certain.
In fact the trusts and the
Republican party are so closely
identified with each other that we have
no trouble in tracing the present policy
of the Government to the trusts. On
what other hypothesis can we explain
the radical change in the foreign policy
of this Government as shown by the
conquest of a country never intended
and entirely unsuited for the habitation
Of the Anglo-Saxon race? For what rea-
son other than that lit should furnish
the trusts with ten millions of cheap
laborers when the American workman
refuses to accept the wages which they
Offer and also that lit should furnish
plausible pretext for the maintenance
of large standing army in the United
States!
1.-THE American volunteer has
amply demonstrated his yalor in fight
ing foreign foes, but he never could be
depended upon to enforce at the point
Of the bayonet, the mandates of the
trusts here at home; hence we see the
sudden necessity for large standing
army in a republic at a time when the
despotic ruler of one Of the most abso-
lutte monarchies in the world has just
called a conference OF nations for the
purpose of advocating disarmament"
