! tendency which is manIfcstinE itself
In the nation and i'm most of the states.
FoI period Of years the tendency was
toward corporate domination and the
voice Of the people grew weaker and
weaker i'm comparison with the influence
of money BUt the tide has changed
and we see evidences everywhere of a
determination on the part OF the masses
t. assert themselves i'm the mana ge-
ment OF the parties. and in the conduct
! Of the government
Cited the Proof.
In support OF these statements Mr..
! Bryan cited the agitation in favor of
] primary laws in Iowa. Wisconsin. Hi
/ noiS. Minnesota and elsewhere. He cited
/ further the recent action of a RepubIi-
can legislature in Kansas in defvine- the
STANDARD Oil company and the general
agitation in favor of government Tegu-
/ lation and control Of railroad rates and
/ OF the steps taken ny congress to this
| end Continuing. Mr. Bryan said in
~1rt-
| Public sentiment is gradually crvs-
/ talliZiuS the proposition that the poo
] pie have a right to have whatever they
/ want Ia government and this I need not
/ tell YOU Is the Democrats position
| This tendency to restore to the peo-
| pie their lost rights and to put them I'm
! possession Of their own affairs is not
| going to stop with the trust question
/ or with the railroad question.

Democracy indicated.
/ The Democratic position * being

TO make the Democratic party a con

the Republican party for the favor of

cal element. if you please-of the Dem
