joyful in that hope. But | find here
that the democratic party is nothing,
knows nothing about the great princl-
pies on which it was founded and
which has made it a power, and must
| throw itself away on a mere question
of political machinery injected by
crafty politicians.
Thus spoke former Senator William
F. Villas in closing the debate on the
| platform.
The speech aroused great enthusi-
asm. Mr.. Villas was terribly in earn
est. He scorned the allusion made by
4 former speaker to the fact that law
yers were on the committee.
IF we were so unfit, why were you
so cruel as to send us out on this mis-.
sion?" he asked.
Earnestly did Mr.. Villas plead with
the democratic delegates to return to
true democratic principles. In sum.
ming up the debate on primary cleo
ton, he spoke with all the vigor and
earnestness of his soul 1t was the
turning point in the history of dem
ocracy in this state.
His defense of the lawyers on the
committee was a magnificent effort of
Oratory. From Jefferson down the line
! he said, the great minds were lawyers
He dashed his opponents in debate i'm.
merclfully and created laughter ar
thUir expense.
What is before us as a party? Is II
not to say whether laws shall be ap-
proved or disapproved? First let us
understand that principle, then we can
tell whether we want it or not. Under
no circumstances would | vote for the
approval of that law. 1t would provide
that every candidate for state office or
congress should go abroad and hunt
for men to sign his petition. The poor
man would have small prospects. Il
provides for no opportunity for people
to meet and declare their political
views. To my mind there is nothing
more undemocratic than that.
at puts the cart before the horse
Instead Of prescribing the principles
upon which officers shall serve the
people, it provides that officers shall
dictate to the people what they Shall
have"
There would be no valuable concen-
traton of public opinion should there
be no convention two years hence,
continued the senator, but we would
have men running about the state with
nomination papers in an effort to put
themselves on the democratic ticket
Mr.. Villas spoke of the benefits OF
conventions. He said that the com
mittee admitted that they would amend
the law.
