man like Bryan rather than the puppet

ORGANIZE The Bee takes pleasure
FOR in reproducing the address
VICTORY. of w. r. Hearst, president
of the national association of democratic
clubs. The address calls attention to
the monstrous evils now confronting the
American people and earnestly and elo-
quently appeals to all lovers of justice
and liberty to organize for the overthrow
of the party responsible for existing
conditions.
ITO the Democratic Clubs and Asso-
Citations of the United States: The time
has come when all the democratic socie-
ties and all the patriotic bodies associated
with them should ratify the nomination
of w. J. Bryan for president and Aldai
E. Stevenson for vice president and to
defend the republic against the corrupt
ing spirit of Imperialism. This is no
ordinary year in American politics. Col
onies have been established under the
American flag without the consent of
the American people and in defiance of
the constitution. The unlawful and
brutal policy of President Mckinley and
his advisers, involving the abandonment
of the principle of public equality on
American soil, have been confirmed by
the republican party in it's national con-
vention. The republican party. under
it's present leadership, is attempting to
commit hitherto peaceful and just ma
ton to career of imperial adventure
and conquest. Its conservatism has dis
appeared, and it's main policy is domi-
mated by vulgar spirit of greed un-
known on this continent until now.
1.-The republican party has become a
party of revolution. 1t is attacking the
irreproachable and time-approved politi-
cal, industrial and social systems under
which this republic has steadily grown
in strength and glory and has dishonored
our flag and our national obligations be-
fore the civilized world. 1t has made
subjects of the inhabitants of Amer
lean territories and has denied to them
the wise guarantees of constitutional
government. It has trampled on the
Declaration of independence.
AIM
and agent of the new and terrible trust
system, which seeks to destroy industrial
and commercial competition in America
another revolutionary movement, hos
tile to free institutions.
The humane and moral struggle for
the emancipation of the neighboring re-
public of Cuba was VIGOROUSLY ended
two years ago, and yet our army occupies
Cuban soil and the political favorites of
the republican party plumber the helpless
people of the island. A great army
raised for the liberation of Cuba is still
maintained for the purpose of extending
trade by bloodshed.
The spirit of militarism marks every
act of the national government. These
radical experimental conditions in the
order of our national progress threaten
the existence of republican government
on the American continent. Subjects
and citizens can not long endure under
the same flag. Monopoly takes away
opportunity and hope from the masses
of the people; it robs the young men of
the nation of all chance to achieve their
independence, and fastens upon them
perpetual wage servitude; it converts
small proprietors into hirelings, and it
puts into the hands of few men the alb
solute control of production and prices.
Against the new and dangerous poll
cies-condemned alike by experience and
justice-the democratic party is exerting
it's whole strength. It's candidates and
it's political platform represent the con-
sentative spirit of the American people
and their faith in American institutions
They represent opportunity at home as
against adventure is Asia; peace rather
than war inspired by the lust of money;
citizenship, not subjecthood; homeo-
geneous republic, not heterogeneous
empire; nation of prosperous, equal,
liberty loving citizens, unburdened by
war taxes or great standing army, lead
ing ultimately to military CONSUMPTION.
1.-The reelection of President McKin-
ley will be taken by the republican lead
ers as proof that the American people
approve of an imperial, military and
trust breeding policy. Can any thought
full person doubt what the consequences
of republican victory this fall will be!
