Tremain introduced Judge John n.
Baldwin OF Nebraska as the orator Of
the evening Judge Baldwin said In
part.
1T IL said that there Is no longer a
government fashioned after the pre-
cepts and principles Of Abraham Lin
coin; that the declaration that all men
are created equal Is unheeded; that cap
ital and labor are opposed and uncom-
municating; that manufacturers are
gorged with the larder OF plundering
tariff; that II is an age of mammon and
machinery; that the existing financial
system Is a conspiracy against the hui
man race; that imperialism and mill
tarism are the spirit OF the times; and
that forts are conveniently located so
that q standing army can suppress by
| force discomfort among laboring peo-
| pie.
IF these conditions do really exist
| they put the state In danger, and If not
amended viii destroy It.
III these conditions do not really ex-
| list, but by certain peculiar practices
| prophecies and platforms are made SO
| TO appear TO 100000 voters we have
social anomaly which also forbodes
peril TO the STATE.
Judge Baldwin referred to the last
national campaign and ridicued the
| Democratic party for It's part In II.
| Continuing, he said; THAT such
| party with such leader and with Just
| simplicity enough to pretend ana just
| truth enough to deceive, could thus be
| sanctioned by so large a proportion oil
the American people almost passes be-
| lief"
judge Baldwin continued, 1.-THE poor,
| the disconnected and distressed can
safely leave their cause In the hands
of those who would endeavor at least
TO determine IL according TO the prin-
olples of Abraham Lincoln, The same
shirt OF civil liberty that animated
Washington in his struggle TO make
thia land free and Lincoln TO make
every man free, is today moving over
the waters OF our governmental life. 1t
recognizes no limitations and has no
frontiers. 1t will move as easily ana
so surely over an ocean as II has over
state. treaty and boundary lines

Congressman Lentz, as POSTMASTER
introduced Mr.. Bryan. "The last time,
said Mr.. Lentz, "I had the pleasure OF
introducing Mr.. Bryan to you intro
duced him as the next President OF th'
United States. | again introduce hin
10 you as I did then"
Following Is an abstract OF Mr.. Bry'
ans speech. Never has this natior
been more in need than It is today Of al
earnest and thorough revival Of Jeffer
sonlan principles. While other states
men appearing at different crises anC
meeting the responsibilities Of their re-
spective times, have made partial appli
cation of Democratic principles, Jeffer
son Is the only one who formulated
democratic code applicable to all times
all situations and all people,
at this time, when the money
changers are In absolute control OF thu
government and are shaping the ma
tton's financial policy in their own In
terests. without regard for the welfar
of the people at large, we need 10 recall
Jefferson's scathing arrangement o
those whu-7h>land the surrender int
their hands of the sovereign function
of government"
He pointed out that the safety Of tn
people lay IN policy that would driv
the banks out of the governing bust
ness, and continued: AT this time
when corporate monopoly Is fast extin
gushing Industrial Independence. W
need a revival Of the Jeffersonian spirit
which demands government admins
! tered according to the doctrine OF equa
rights 10 all and special privileges Z
. none.
AT this time, when commercialsm !
soaring the conscience OF the nation
when the worship OF mammon Is lead
ing the people to ignore inallenabl
rights; when the ideals bought wit
blood and sacrifice are TO be bartere
ava, for the delusve promises OF EN-
: pire--at this time. repeat. we need I
l have faith in man as man. and our 10y
for man as brother rekindled by IN
: memory Of this mighty patriot. philoso
l pher and Democrat. whose brain con-
e pretended the height and depth an
I breadth Of government, and who's
