PRAISE FOR STEVENSON.
when the convention came TO the
selection Of candidate for vice presi-
dent there was a diversity of opinion,
but the choice fell upon a distinguished
Illinois Democrat. who once discharg-
ed with credit the duties of the office.
In the campaign OF go when pluto
cracy and Democracy met face 30 face.
Adlai r.. Stevenson was an able and
courageous defender of the cause OF
Democracy.
II know that some of our allies felt
grieved that they were not given the
second place upon the ticket, but l am
sure that they cannot feel unkindly to-
ward one. who. like Mr.. Stevenson, was
loyal TO the ticket nominated at Chi
cago and who is able TO defend the
magnificent party creed set forth at
Kansas City. In this campaign, issues
are greater than men.
'The ticket deserves support because
II stands for the Declaration -of Inde-
pendence Gin dealing with the Philip
pines and for the doctrine OF equal
rights for all and special privileges for
none in all domestic questions"
Gen. James II. Weaver also spoke at
some length, outlining the work TO be
done by the Democratic silver Repub-
lican and Populist parties, and appeal
ing for harmony for the common
cause. He also paid tribute 10 Mr.. Ste
yenson's record in Congress.

Some time later. shortly before the de-
parture of the doctor. the count asked
him to return the documents. A search
was made. but 1t was impossible to
locate them.

Benjamin was received by the count,
and it contained the demand for $780,

terminating in visil to the Sturtevant
House by the counts son. stephen.
A conference was held with Benja-
min. He refused absolutely to give
young steinich any Information con-
cerning the disappearance of the heir
looms. but finally, under rrsuasion,
agreed 10 take $1,000 for their return.
Upon learning the facts from her son
the countess laid the matter in the
hands OF the New York police. Detec-
tives learned that Benjamin formerly
lived in North Adams. Mass.
Inquiry showed that he was we'll
known there. but did not seem TO have
any business, although he lived well. A
warrant was issued for the arrest OF
Benjamin. Sheriff Kuss and Stephen
Steinich came TO New York yesterday.
They found Benjamin at the Sturte-
want House. Benjamin invited Steinich
into a parlor for a private conference,
and there demanded the money for the
papers.
Kuss then entered the parlor on a
signal from Steinich. Benjamin weak
ened and confessed that he knew the
whereabouts OF the property and offer
ed to lead the officer to where II was.
Kuss agreed and the three men left
the hotel and went to a saloon near
the BUwery. There they met a profess
sional safe opener named Kick. The lat
ter admitted that he had the heirlooms
and delivered them over 10 the sheriff.
Kick explained that he had found the
documents IN an abandoned safe that
he was hired by Benjamin to open one
year ago. The documents stolen includ-
ed papers which showed the standing OF
the Steinich family and various valua-
Bile heirlooms. Stephen Steinich said
last night that the. doctor TO whom his
father had lent the heirlooms was

until election day IL will be the duty OF
every citizen to take these issues be-
fore the country and weigh them.
IF we lived In land where king
thought for US, we should feel no re-
sponsibility for the action OF that king.
But we live in land where the people
determine the policy. We live in n
land where the citizen impresses his
own opinion upon the gGernment,
where the policies of the government
may be determined by the vote of one
citizen.
And l want to leave a thought with

trine that governments come up from

For l24 years this nation has held
before the world the light of liberty.
For more than "a century IL has been an
example to all the world. You tell me
that we can now be Indifferent to what

who lifts his voice against the doctrine
OF Imperialism is pleading the cause of
the Filipino? / tell you he is pleading
the cause OF 10000, 600 OF American
citizens; aye, he is championing the
rights of the struggling masses OF the
world who look TO America for exam

IF every Filipino was 10 die. the
