fear. The hlghhanded manner in
which they have violated law and ig-
nored authority, together with the
corruption discovered IN high places.
has done more to create a sentiment
in favor of public ownership than all
the speeches and arguments of the Op-
ponents of private ownership.
ION another occasion | shall call at
tiOn to the rapidly growing expendi-
ture of the federal government but at
this time | desire To center your
thoughts upon the ovetshadowing evil
of the day--the trusts-with the plu-
tocatic tendencies that result there
from. 1t demands a remedy and the
people are prepared to administer
heroic treatment. The democratic
party offers solution which is both
and adequate-a solution
in which time-honored principles are
applied to new conditions.
The democratic party is not the
enemy of properly or of property
rights; it Is on the contrary. the best
defender of both because 1t defends
human rights. and human rights are
the only foundation upon which prop
erty and property rights can rest Sc
curely
IF we can repeal the laws which
enable men to reap where they have
not sown--laws which enable them to
garner into their own barns the har-
vests that belong to others-no one
will be able to accumulate enough to
make his fortune dangerous to the
country.
Special privilege and the use of the
taxing power for private gain These
are twin pillars upon which putoc-
racv rests. To take away these sup
ports and to elevate the benefciaries
of special legislation to the path of
honest effort ought to be the purpose
of our party"
Before the meeting was called to order
band played merrily such tunes as
Maryland" my old Kentucky
Home" Way Down on the Suwanee
River" and other melodies of the
south caused tumultuous applause.
But when the first strains of Dixie
were sounded thousands of Bryan
welcomers we're on their feet in an
instant and the cheers completely
drowned the band.
AS each notable democrat entered
the hall and was recognized. his name
was called and the cheering was re-
newed.
Twelve thousand persons, many of
them women, were seated by O'clock
and an hour later not a vacant seat
was to he seen.
The heat In the garden, once the
crowd had assembled, was so great
that a large portion of the glass roof
was pushed back, leaving the stairs
as canopy.
The galleries early were jammed to
their utmost capacity. Hundreds OF
policemen and fifty firemen were on
duty in the giant structure.
At s o'clock, Harry w. Walker, on
behalf of the Commercial Travellers
ANTITRUST league, called the assem-.
bly, to order.
Governor Folk was given an ova-
tion, and 1t was several minutes be-
fore he could speak. When he finally
secured silence he asked his hearers
to be as quiet as possible, otherwise
none of the speakers. not even Mr.
Bryan himself, could be heard.
The mention of MIR. Bryan's name
called forth renewed cheering. Their
when quiet had been restored Gov
ernor Folk proceeded
Governor Folks Speech.
