Let all good people know that so FAR

is to stand pat. Do not hatter your

in the future If the friends OF protec-

"a large majority agree upon revis-
ion, the only question being to get them
to vote for it. Every vote cast for the
republican party in Iowa is against re.
vision, and every vote cast for the
democratic party is in favor of revls-
ion. President Roosevelt and the re-
publican administration have laid
! down the issue. Stand pat is the
slogan, and we may as we'll realize now
that we have the same fight to make
I against the combinations of the repub-
| lican national congressional committee
! backed by the sinews of war furnished
! by special interests.
II want to say to the people Of this
great nation that President Roosevelt
/ could have had a measure adopted that
| the people wanted, and that he had first
advocated, without submitting to this
mutilation of railroad Influence, had 1t
| not been for his craftsmanship. which
outweighed his desire to protect the in
terests of the people of this great ma
ton. Whatever may happen or what
ever may come the combination OF
boarded wealth and the republican par

CARELESS of the interests and welfare
of the people of this country, and in
view of these facts let me say to you
who have gathered together as mem
bers of this convention, with an honest
purpose written upon your counten-
ance and determination reflected from
your actions, stand firm for the right
| eousness of your cause. Let there be
no backward step taken by democracy.

imbued with consciousness that right
will prevail, knowing that each battle
