CHICAGO, April 13.-Public owner
ship will be the dominant issue in the
Democratic national campaign four
years from now if the 500 Democrats
who assembled at the Jefferson day
banquet given by the new Jefferson
club at the Sherman House tonight
can make it so.
At every mention of the municipal
ownership victory in Chicago last week
the gathering went into Mysteries and
when it was remarked by speaker
after speaker that the victory in
Chicago foretold similar victory in
the nation in 1908 with public owner
ship of the railroads" as the party
slogan, men yelled themselves hoarse
hats flew in the air and the tables were
pounded like mad.
Mayor Dunno was the particular
hero of the occasion. Like the owner
ship he stands for, he was the "im-
mediate heir" the ultimate heir by
common consent of every man present
of William Jennings Bryan, who clap
ped his hands until they were red and
swollen.
George Fred Williams of Massachu-
setts Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland,
Mayor Dunno and Clarence S. Darrow
led the advanced thought of their par
ticular localities.
Col. Bryan was listened to not only
as the spokesman of the great land
beyond the Mississippi, but as the
oracle of public ownership sentiment
for the party throughout the nation.
Mr.. Bryan said the Chicago victory
was the greatest thing achieved by the
Democracy in a generation. Suiting
his address to the place, hour and op-
portunity, he gave nearly half his time
to prove that If Jefferson were alive
today he would be of the Dunno brand
of Democracy-in favor of public ow-
nership as the greatest good to the
greatest number.

fire, seemingly buoyed to new conf

CHICAGO, April 13.-William Jen-

quet in this city tonight spoke in part
as follows. responding to the toast,
Thomas Jefferson"
Thomas Jefferson, although not
reared in the environment of royalty,
was born and educated among the peo-
pie who least sympathized with the
rights and interests of the common
man. His heart, too, was touched by
the struggles of his countrymen, and
he early became their companion, al
though in so doing he alienated the
landed aristocracy and the educated
of the wealthy, and his learning
brought him into association with
scholars, but his heart kept him in
touch with the plain people. and he
great Democrat.
Jefferson not only promulgated the
principles of free government, but In
his writings he consistently applied
those principles to every problem with
which the government had to deal.
And the principles which he applied
were so fundamental that we find them
useful today in the discussion of ques-
tions which have arisen since his
death.

the old man was John l.. Smith. The
baby fell into ditch and was found

water.
In the same ditch, but a quarter of

sitting on the ditch bank he was taken
with a slight attack of paralysis and
fell into the water. On account of his
weakness he was unable to save him.

NEW, YORK, April 13-J. j. Willett
of Alabama was one of the speakers
at the Jefferson day dinner at the
Waldorf Astoria tonight. In part he
spoke as follows:
This great government is a ponder
Gus and also a dangerous piece of
machinery. 1t is capable of doing
harm as well as doing good. While we
do not agree with them, it is evident
the American people just now are not
willing to trust the Democracy with 1t.
1t cannot be said that we have not
nominated fit men. Our late nominee
and your honored guest tonight was
everything our nominee should be. No
better nomination could possibly have
been made. He was safe, sane and
sound, but he inherited jealousies and
difficulties 1t was impossible to over
come. Our overwhelming defeat then
must be attributable to other causes
and we should look for those causes.
In my opinion 1t is because we did not
appeal effectively to the young men of
the country. Since the election of 1892
several millions of old Democrats have
died and several millions of young
men have reached manhood and have
become voters.

vaclllation in our party for the last
twelve years naturally have not ap-
pealed to these young men. Too much
