tI2 ranks of the enemy OF civic right
eousness This has always been so, and as matter
of fact in b. human nature will always remain So But
the history Of reform has always written with com
mon honesty the deep seated convictions and tri-
umphs OF standing on intellectual heights In the
limelight OF justice.
We are now, after painful suspense and anxiety,
arrived at the parting OF the ways.
After years Of exposure and "investigation, "
whereby the people have been fully advised as to
the crimes OF predatory wealth in depriving the
masses of their rightful share both to the things
produced and to recognition as qualified to hold Of
fee, the people are now confronted with the propo
sition OF "What are You going to do about it'll"
The way to do it is now agitatiEg the Democrats
OF Illinois, In the first place, the public mind is
fully advised OF the fact that Jefersons and Lin
coins ideas OF government have been first corrupt
ed and, secondly, thrown to the junkpile OF obsolete
dreams of other days, and system based on "spe-
cia privileges set up, and fraudulent elections de-
priving the voter of a voice in government fully
inaugurated. government by Injunction now
overrdes the constitutions rights of man, and reI
ders the Declaration Of Independence absolutely
void.
Without the Declaration of Independence and
the constitution to serve the nation compass,
we have drgted ont the wild tempestuOus sea, Of
conquest, and fraud and graft have become immune
to law, and corruption by injunction has become
the club to beat back the children Of toil and thus
does Mammon rule ALL and defy the spirit Of Jefer-
and Lincoln and Israel's God.
The nation is sick at heart and has called for a
remedy; and necessity has diagnosed the case and
published the facts to the wide world, and behold
the civilized natious Of earth have read it, for it was
written thus: "American politics is absolutely rot
ten. Corporations have control of both the Repub'
lican and Democratic parties Thus do the corpO-
ratiOns make the masses their slaves and continue
their power"
: As result America has become the worst mo
nopOly ridden nation on earth; her elections the
greatest farce; her boast Of liberty q stupendOus
fraud; her claim Of civilization idiOtc; her assump
tion Of Christianity treason against God. And Col
orado, standing as q witness before the bar OF the
civilized world, ia proof positive that money oil
garchy rules the United States.
How shall this power be Overthrowni Bryan
says: I am going to ineist that no man connected
with any favor seeking organization shall be permit
ted to become member Of the Democratic organi-
cation to the end that be may betray it. When q
man accepts position in any great corporation he
ted to serve in any capacity with the Democratic
organization or as q Democratic candidate for any
public Office. shall insist also that my party shall
not accept one dollar from any corporation or any
ndividua who expects to get it back in favor from
the government
Bryan1heTe sets forth his plan "a reOrganize the
Dsmoctatic party BY throwing overheard the cap
tans OF predatory wealth from the councils Of fthe
party Here Bryan strikes at the point, and uuleas
this is accomplished there can b no wellgrounded
hope Of reform. This statement, mace BY Bryan ia
his New Jersey speech, has ianned the flames, and
as result Bryan has already been repudated by ell
the great Democratic newspapers and their editors
Who fought for him IL 1896 and 1900. he has been
denounced py Henri WattersCn, COngressnan 6ulli-
van Of Massachusetts, and msny Others ci the nom
servative democratic leaders. There is not daily
In New York, Boston Of Baltimore, With the excep-
tioh 81 the Hearst papers, that have not repudiated
him ana tbe prucipeah he enpnCiated is Biz speech.
