WAS GLORIOUS
Continued from Fifth page.

1ofk City, which is familiar to all now,
and Of the proposed joint resolution 10
amend the constitution submitted by the
Republicans at the last session of con-
| gress, whereby it was sought to give
| congress the needed power to restrain, re-
! strict or control all trusts and combina-
| tons; how it was necessary TO have a
| two-thirds vote to pass this resolution;
| how the Republicans had only bare ma
| jority, and how it was necessary that
some Democrats and opulists should vote
| for the resolution to pass it; and how
| they did not do so, because it invaded the
/ sacred Democratic doctrine Of states
! rights, in that it took control from the
states, many Of which did not use 1t,
and lodged it in congress.
Discussing the paramount issue as
| finally made Mr.. Long stated that It
| grew out of the war with Spain, and out
of that wars successes. Had the war
not been a success, he said, this coun-
/ try would have seen the Democratic
! party meeting in Kansas City as in Chi
! cago in 1864 and declaring the war fail
ure and demanding that it cease in the
interests of humanity, and that President
/ Mckinley be not reelected. as it then de-
manded that President Lincoln be not re-
elected.
/ But the war was a success" said MFR
/ Long, land SO we have this issue of i'm
/ perialism. How did we get it? It grows
/ out of the treaty of peace. Who made
| that treaty? William Mckinley Who
| is responsible for the making of the
! treaty? William Mckinley and his adj
| ministTation. But the treaty would not
! have been worth the paper It was written
on had it not been ratified, and it took
I a two-thirds vote of the senate to ratify
/ it. The Republicans did not even have a
majority How was it ratified? Bryan
/ William J. Bryan-Colonel William J.
/ Bryan daughter, who had participated
! in every bloody battle In the war with
/ Spain daughter and cries of ''Where?'D
that had been fought in the state of
| Florida OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES his commits
sion, went to Washington and person
ally solicited votes for the ratification of
| the treaty. 1t was ratified"
Then Mr.. Long launched into his mag
nilcent argument on imperialism, in
! which he showed that for every act of
! President Mckinley in his so-called ''im-
perlalistic'' course he had the Demo-
cratic precedents of jefferson. Monroe,
| Jackson and Polk. He treated this as
ably as it has been presented in this
campaign in this city, and closed with
| an appeal to all loyal persons to see that
| the flag of our country does not come
| down in the Philippines, but that 1t stays
! there and that this country measure up
! to the fullness and grandeur of the des-
! tiny that has been carved out for it,
| and the future that will be its own If 1t
| does its duty and assumes the response
! bilities that have come within the past
| few years.
| The Santa Fe train No. 40S, bearing the
Little Giant of Oklahoma was twenty
minutes late when it arrived at the sta
ton. It was met by Ed Jewett Charles
Davidson and others, who escorted Dem
mis- Flynn to carriage where he was
rapidly driven to the Auditorium. Enter
| ing through the packed-in humanity. the
champion OF his people was led down the
cented aisle. Mr.. Long ceased in his
/ speech, and as the crowd caught sight OF
Flynn a mighty shout went up. 1t lasted
until he had entered upon the stage, and
as he seated himself thereon men jumped
to their feet, waved flags and there was
! g. duplicate of the demonstration accorded
| Mr. Long earlier Cheers were given,
and as Flynn and Long shook hands,
/ there was deafening applause Mr.. Long,
who was nearly through, concluded in a
few moments, and Judge Wall introduced
| Mr.. Flynn in the following way:
| 1.-THE gentleman who always gets there
| has arrived, and 1 predict that on Nov
ember he will arrive there (pointing TO
| the east) I now have the pleasure of
| introducing him to you
Again there was a demonstration, this
! time more wildly enthusiastic than ever,
and proving that the vast audience re-
membered Mr.. Longs request to give
! Flynn such a welcome that it would
/ leave its impress upon the whole Of Okla
homa-' Finally Mr.. Flynn said:
