THE democratic party has reached a

the American people at this hour. and
can guide the old ship of state into a
haven of security and peace. How can
the party accomplish this? Will be
asked. I will answer. that Ii can b.
done only by harmonious and united
party.
1T is my conviction that no man
should receive the nomination who has
been leader In the respective livis-
lens OF the party. and who has been ,
aggressive in, the advocacy of his own
particular notions on the questions
which have tended to create anything
but harmony in the party. There is
a conservative and conscientious ele-
ment found in both wings OF the party,
which can be formulated into a strong
force. and which will If placed ander
the leadership OF sincere and upright
men, who will be free from entangle-
ments which surround many good men
on both sides OF the question. which
have been the source of contention
within the ranks of the party within
the last few years, once more place

hope that she will present

Vermont, who became identified with
Iowa in Its infancy, and has become
greatly attached to her and her well

any of the states great representatives

the only democrat from the state in
