HON. H. 7. RAlNEY
EXTRACTS FROM Speech OF The
illinois CONGRESSMAN.
The Election of 1904 Was Demo-
cratic Default, not Defeat. No
Room in This Country for Two
Ultra conservative Parties. Skies
Are Clearing for 1908.

Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, recently
delivered two speeches in New York.
One speech was delivered at the Jeffer-
son day banquet given by the Democratic
club Of New York city, at the Waldorf
Astoria. On the preceding night Mr..
Rainey spoke at the Jefferson day BAN
quet given by the Harlem Democratic
club. It will be rememb mbered that Judge
Parker spoke at the Waldorf banquet,
and those who remember Judge Parker's
speech may be interested in reading ex'
tracts from Mr.. Rainey's speeches.
Extracts from Mr.. Rainey's Waldorf
speech follow:
Democrats no longer blindly follow
even that greatest Of all party leaders
whose memory we honor here tonight.
The interesting question now is not
what Jefferson said one hundred years
ago but what would jefferson do if con-
fronted with present conditions.
The varied uses OF steam and electri-
city have not changed and never can
change natural laws-and the better
methods OF transmitting intelligence
which have been so generally adopted in
the last two or three years have not
changed and can never change that hu-
man law which prevails in all free gov.
ernments where men are permitted to
think and speak for themselves and
which always divides the people into
two great parties.
Jefferson did not invent any new
theories. He simply crystalized ideas
that have existed since the dawn Of time.
Writing to John Adams in 1881 Jeffer'
son said: "Men have differed in opinion
and been divided into parties by the
opinions from the first origin of societies
and in all governments where they have
been permitted freely to think and to
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1905-08-14

| speak," The same political parties
which now agitate the United States
have existed through all time.
Defeats do not discourage democratic
The principles we stand for can never be
defeated. Men who pose as leaders may
be rebuked-candidates may he defeated,
but the principles about which we rally
can be defeated only when government
I by the people is defeated.
At the present time the enemy ia
flushed with victory. Never in all its
history has the republican party OBJ.
tained such complete control nationally
and in the states. Ninety-five years ago
the French Influence was supreme in the
capitals of Europe. Flushed with vic.
tory at the head of a million men the
great Napoleon was marching upon the
Russian capital. His armies seemed in
vinctle. Never in all his career had he
apparently been SO strong. But the great
common people of Europe were aroused
as they never had been before, and at
that very moment Waterlou-the com.
plete downfall OF his empire and his oa n
banishment to an obscure island we're
less than four years away. And so at
the present time the great common peo-
pie in this country are aroused as they
never have been be o,e-and il the rsdi-
cal tendencies in the democratic party
continue their present progress of devel-
opmentthe Waterloo and complete down.
fall of the republican party is less than
four years away.
The election of last November dem.
onstrates that there is no room in this
country for two ultra conservative par
ties. In the campaign last year the
leaders of the democratic party, local,
state and national, were for the first time
in many years working harmoniously to-
gether-fghting all of them for victory.
We presented strong candidate most
eminently qualified to fiji the high office
OF president of the United States. But
the democrats who do the voting stayed
at home or refused to vote. The demo.
cratic party is nothing il it is not radical
and progressive. The impression had
gone out that the party was being made
reflex Of the republican party. 1t was
not democratic defeat-it was demo-
cratic default.
Already the skies are clearing. The
winter OF our di-contant ia At an end.
Brighter davs are jnst ahead The peo-
pie make the issues-rot the politicians
this is the lesson OF the campaign of
1904.
Are there in the democratic party men
who are trust beneficiaries? Such men
must take their places in The ranke, il
they remain in the party In the future
the fight against the criminal trusts must
be unrelpnting - unrOmprOmising. In
this great fight there is no middle ground.
