WELCOME TO STEVENSON.
Citizens of bloomington, III, Greet
Democratic Vice Presiden-
tial Nominee.

Bloomington, H., Aug. 6.-Adlai E.
Stevenson, democratic nominee for
rice president, was given a hearty well
come here Saturday upon his return
from Lake Minnetonka, where he had
been since the Kansas City convention.
The demonstration was nonpartsan in
character, and the whole city partici-
pated. The exercises took place in
Franklin park. Mayor Thomas pre-
sided, and Judge Lawrence Weldon made
the welcoming address. Both of these
men are republicans. Mr.. Stevenson, in
the course of his reply to the greeting,
said:
"The future danger of the republic is not
from foreign foes, as during the first two
decades, nor along sectional lines, as at
a later period of our history, but with the
multiplication and increase of Individual
fortunes-with the rapid augmentation of
aggregated wealth and the murmuring and
unrest that follow 'as the might the day,
with the rapid increase in every field of en-
deaVor, of appliances which mercilessly
dispense with the labor of human hands,
and with population pressing upon the
means of support-who can doubt that from
all these may spring dangers to society, to
the state, unknown to the first century of
our history?
THE record of the nineteenth century will
soon close. All that has been wrought out
by its thought, its sacrifice. Its endeavor,
will pass to the domain of history. Stand
ing in its twilight, with hearts grateful to
our fathers and to our fathers God, we
take courage and turn our faces hopefully,
trustingly. confidently to the dawning CEN
