| out exception, such cheering and cry
ing and hurrahing and applauding as
1 never witnessed before in that House
of Representatives, because at last
they had the pure Democratic faith
| delivered to them.
They are trying to do what? Trying
to convince the people that they ought
to come into power under the lead of
German of the Senate and Williams
| of the House. They have been trying
to give the country Dovers powders.
(Laughter.)
As Democratic Wolves.
Oh said distinguished colleague,
following the astute Senator German,
If we come into power while protec-
ton is robbery, we will say to you
that while we will journey in the di-
rection of free trade. we will destroy
| no industries over night Great scott!
| Think of it, They won't kill you out
right, but they will starve you to death
day by day. daughter and applause)
They want to be put on guard to
protect the people who are dwelling
in peace and prosperity under Repub-
| lcan policy.
1T reminds me of the fable of Aesop
| You know the records in one of his
fables that the wolves said to the
sheep, discharge the dogs who were
| the natural protectors -, and employ
us and we will take care of you.
| daughter and applause). Does the
capital of this country and the labor
| of this country want to go under the
| care of Wolf German and Wolf Will
| Hams and their fellows? 1 think not.
But our friends. the enemy, some
of them little politicians, vex the air
crying, Trusts. trusts, trusts Oh,
| they come out strong with good lungs
as trust busters. Since 1890 have they
ever done any busting? daughter. }
| Oh no. There is no Jericho now and,
! if there was, 1t would never happen
again that people would march about
the walls blowing rams horns seven
| times until the walls fell down. That
| is what the Democrats are trying to
| do.
! Trust? Yes. Great combinations of
| capital against public policy? Yes.
| But, the Republican party always true
| to the people, and it's traditions, made
! haste to provide under the constitution
| legislation that would prohibit these
| combinations. ,r- -
THE 'do-something' party. It slept
under Cleveland. Mckinley had the
war with Spain and the restoration
of prosperity, but that young enthus-
| iastic, true man took an oath to see
| to it that the laws We're executed and
| has executed them. And in his opin-
| ion trusts are unlawful and should be
| dissolved. That is the difference be-
| tween the Democrats and Roosevelt
| One bursts by wind, the other bursts
| by law. Oaughter.)
strikes and the Law.
'Oh. but, says our enemy, my
| goodness, look at the strikes you are
having in this country That is their
/ strong suit, strikes. daughter and
| applause).
Now, what is strike? The strike
| is an effort by the employer and the
employe to agree how the profit should
! be divided. If the employee does not
get as much as he thinks he ought to
| get after arbitration has been tried,
| he strikes. Well, then, it is absolutely
| necessary to have a strike that there
should be a profit. Great God How
| many strikes were there under Cleve-
land, when the Democrats had the run
ming of things? daughter and ap-
| plauSe.)
oh but outrageous things are done
| by the employer, when he Expresses
| the laborer, and outrageous things are
| done by some laborers, when they go
/ on a strike. Yes, there is law break
| ing and disorder. Law breaking in the
! formation of trusts, law breaking at
| times in the organization of labor when
| il goes on strike. But the great body
| of the American people that own the
| wealth are not for the trusts, and the
| great body of labor honest men who
/ live by the sweat of their faces, are
1 not for law breaking in the strikes.
| (Applause.)
! "The law, the sheet-anchor of civili-
| cation, is strong enough to pull down
/ the strongest, strong enough to curb
| the wicked and the vicious. Strong
| enough, like the grace OF God, to throw
! it's arms about the weakest and the
/ poorest and bring him under it's pro-
| lection applause All must obey un-
| der Theodore Roosevelt, as the ma
tional representative of the law" (Ap-
| plause.)
Then They Had Enough.
| AS he uttered the words Good bye"
| at the close of his address, the dele
gates rose, cheering and waving hats,
| flags and handkerchiefs. The chair
| man paid but little heed to the APP

returning quietly to his seat, entered

ner," the delegates and spectators ris-

Many delegates began leaving the
hall after Mr.. Cannon's speech. Final
| ly Mr.. Cannon raped for order and
| called for the report of the Committee
on Rules, which was presented by Gen.
| bingham of Pennsylvania.
Gen. Bingham, in presenting the re-
mort, stated that the committee had
adopted the rules of the Fifty eighth
| Congress when not inconsistent with
| the rules of the convention.
During the reading of the report OF
the Committee on Rules Senator Fora
ker offered an amendment to give Ha-
waii six votes instead of two. as pro-
vided by the committee. After a con-
siderable debate the amendment was
rejected. Mr.. Bingham offered a sub
stitute as follows: THAT the repre-
sentation from Hawaii shall be two
| delegates, provided that this shall not
impair the rights and privileges OF the
ak delegates already seated in this
| convention"
on this the FIRST roll cail Of the con-
vention occurred. The substitute was
adopted.
