Indianapolis. Ind. Oct. IA leading
feature of the creation of the National
Association of Democratic Clubs today
was the address of Congressman
James Hamilton Lewis of Washington,
in which he fayed Hanna and Nc
K:nlev.
Mr. Lewis said in part:
There are no patriots, if Democrats
be not No servile supplicants for Of
fetal favors are We No dictator sways
his detestible rule over US. No corpor-
ate influence commands a domination
or wealth directs. We know no mas
tiers but the people; we worship no
king but Cod
In referring to Senator Hanna, he
said:
mo bloated gorgon, swollen with
party dictatorship, sits in sacred place
blinking his splenic eyes at us as sig
nails for our every movement Our
Ideas are our property; our manhood
is our honor. All the people are our
children and the free nation our sacred
care We abandon these to no man
and we defy the insolence of masters or
the arrogance of office to take one lot
OF our independence from us
with reference to President Mckinley
he said:
for high office. the chief OF whom never
advocated g, policy which he would not
Immediately denounce for party ad-
vantage, nor denOu1ce a principle
which he would not espouSe for the en-
ticenents Of office
How Mckinley F1opped.
"A silver man when a silver lining
was necessary to. his cloud of political
despair; gold man in return for the

contributions In the hour of humanity
torcible annexation was criminal ag-
gresslon, when not popular with the
party; now crimlnally aggressive for
forcible annexation when profitable to
favored syndicates- A gentleman who

party's ever changing policy by becom-
ing its accommodation end0rser.''
Mr. Lewis alluded to Governor Roose-
welt end said:
We shall never be driven to the
desperate ends of bOlstering the decay

hope of imDOsters in the hour when
neither reason nor justice dare be ap-

Democrats, this is the hour when we
extend open doors and outstretched
hands to all who love their country bet
ter than self; to hope for freedom
rather than power. In a nation ad-
dicted to the ways of peace the tramp
OF marching armies are to echo through
