Twelve Thousand Crowd
Coliseum at St.
Louis.
MAKES AN ADDRESS
Republican Popularity Gained
on Democratic Princi-
Piles, He Says.

st. Louis, Mo-. Sept. 12.-An audi
ence of 1900 persons almost lifted
the roof from the Coliseum last might
when William J. Bryan appeared on
the platform.
The cheering continued for four min
utes. and finally was silenced by Ma
ti0nal Democratic Committeeman Viii.
liam a. Rothwell. who started to make
a speech of introduction. He had
scarcely begun before clamor arose
for Bryan. Chairman RothwelI there
upon presented Mr.. Bryan with wave
OF his hand.
Motioning for silence with a palm
leaf fan. Mr. Bryan said. in part:
RoOseyeIts Democratic Doctrine.
Il want TO show you it is better to
trust the democratic principles to the
democratic party than TO trust them to
the one man whose party denounces
him for following them. / want to re-
mind you that the most popular act OF
Mr.. Roosevelt's administration was his
bringing peace between two nations.
He settled the coal strike after a loss
of S99.000,000 to employers, employees,
and the public. 1t was a grand act.
applauded him for it. But where did
he get the doctrine-in the republican
platform? No : He got it from the
democratic platform and | wrote the
plank myself.
Ought to BE Prevented.
IF he could gain popularity by set
ting one strike that cost S99. 600, 900,
why ought not our party have some
credit for pressing a plan which. if put
into law, would have made the strike
unnecessary? Why hasn't the republi-
can party followed it up by making a
national law that will make it unneces
sary for a man TO starye his wife AMI
children in order to get justice?
IF the president can become the only
popular man in the republican party
because he spasmodically does some
thing along democratic lines. what
would be the popularity of the man
who does something and always has
been a democrat? Where did Mr..
Roosevelt find his mandate for his ac-
tion regarding the rate bill? He had to
go to the democratic platform. The
most important part of the Elkins bill
Is the penitentiary sentence for its vio-
lation.
Rate Law Democratic Idea.
1.-THE railroads have been the most
corrupting influence in politics in the
last 90 years. BY use OF passes the
railroads have packed conventions
This law was suggested by the demo
cratic party. 1 shall soon have occa-
sion to talk on railroads again, but to-
night 1 want to impress it on you that
the railroad question solution was the
product of the democratic party
THE president has now been in Of
fice almosts five years. How many
trust magnates are in the penitentiary?
We have a great many trusts in this
country violating the law My friends,
/ ask you to figure out, On the basis of
the number of trust magnates fmpris-
Oned during the last five years, how
many generations will it take to solve
the trust question"

FOR FULL TICKET
Independence League Convention
i'm New York Decides
Course
IN ENTHUSIASTIC SESSION
Demonstration for w. r. Hearst Lasts
Half an Hour-Only Fight on
Adjournment.

New York. Sept. 12.-The first two
sessions of the Independence league,
headed by William r. Hearst, were
held in this city yesterday, the first
| being called to order in Carnegie hall
at / o'clock in the afternoon and the
second at 9 o'clock at night. Temper
airy and permanent organizations were
perfected, and amid much enthusiasm
last night a lengthy platform setting
| forth the principles of the league was
adopted.
The convention declared positively
in favor of the nomination of a full
state ticket and instructed the commit
tee on resolutions to draft suitable
reply to W. ]. Conners and other dele
gates to the democratic state conven-
ton at Buffalo Sept 25. They had pre-
sented a memorial asking The league
TO defer nominating state ticket until
conference could be held with the
democrats
The convention also directed the COM
mittee on resolutions to consider and
report to the convention on the quail
f1cations of candidates.
feature of the night session was a
demonstration following the mention of
Mr.. Hearst's name. which laste, half
an hour Mr.. Hearst did not attend the
sessions.
There was much disorder in the con-
vention last night when a motion to ad-
journ until tonight was made after the
routine business had been concluded.
Independence Slogan.
The platform sets forth the funda-
mental idea of the league as independ
ence from boss rule or corporation con-
troll, and of any party subject to these.
1t declares FOR "a free vote and an hon.
est count" and demands "a revision of
the present dishonest and complex
election law, simplified ballot and a
law providing for recount in cases of
fraud or mistakes"
The recent life insurance scandals
are referred to at some length. Gov
ernor Higgins is denounced for failure
to reorganiZe the state insurance de-
partment, and a new election of the
insurance companies Is favored in case
the present officials in the coming cleo
tions maintain control through con-
nivance of the insurance department in
underhand and illegal campaigning"
The platform declares that search
ing investigation of every executive de-
partment is due the public
Attack on jerome.
District Attorney Jerome is attacked
by name as follows:
I'VE express the disgust felt by all
good citizens over the failure of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome to prosecute
criminally, regardless of their wealth
or social position, those guilty of in
surance frauds
On the subject of public ownership
the platform says:
1.-The Independence league believes in
the public ownership of public utilities
that are natural monopolies. Holding
that no person or corporation is priv
ileged to confiscate what rightfully be-
longs to another. it stands for irrecon-
cilable hostility to appropriations by
corporations of franchise values created
by the community and belonging to
the community. Respect for local rights
and home rules should authorize the
enactment of a statute empowering all
cities to acquire and operate public
necessities"

WERNZ ELECTED GENERAL.
Successor to Late Father Martin ir
the Society of Jesus.

Successor to Late Father Martin in
the Society of Jesus.
Rome, Sept 8.-Francis X. Wernz, of
Germany, was today elected General
of the society by the congregation of
the Company of Jesus, in succession
to the late Father Martin, who died
last May. A messenger was dispatch
ed to the Vatican to inform the Pope
of the choice, which to become effec-
tive requires the sanction of the Pope.
Two ballots were taken before the
choice was made. When Father AL
fred Maertens, procurator general
of the Jesuits, informed Pope Plus
of the company's choice, the pontiff
expressed great satisfaction. HE is
just the man fitted for the position, -
said the Pope. He charged Father
Maertens to take to General Wernz
the apostolic greeting and an affec-
tionate letter. Father Wernz comment
upon his election was, God, l am
not worthy, but Thy will and that of
ST. Ignatius be done"
Father Wernz was born at Roth
well, Wurtemburg, Dec. 2, 1912, and
at the age of Is years entered the
society of which he was today chos-
en- head. He has been rector of the
Gregorian University since 1904 and
has published a series of books deal
ing with most profound questions of
canon law. He is recognized in the
church as a progressive man, and
it is predicted that his election as
General of the Company of Jesus
will result in the infusion of new
life into the organization.

Hosts of Americans on the Ground
to Witness the Race.

Putney, Eng, Sept. s.-By a dis
.ance of two lengths Cambridge won
the great international boat race TO-
day, standing off by steady, powerful
stroke all Harvard's desperate spurts.
The Light Blues had the advantage
of choice of stations, which gave
them at least a length to the good
They got away ahead and were able
to maintain their lead and even in
crease it.
1t was a pretty race throughout
Cambridge went at a tremendous
pace, AZ strokes to the minute, at the
start, gradually reducing the rate,
while the Harvard men hardly rowed
above 35. The Light Blues gained
stroke by stroke, until by the time
Craven Steps were reached daylight
showed between the shells. Then the
crowd went mad, and it was a hun
dred to one that Cambridge would
win.
As the boats turned the bend and
entered rougher water, Harvard squirt
ed. A magnificent effort sent the
American boat upon its opponent foot
by foot At Chiswick the English
stroke shook up his crew and they
began to pull a, ~ from Harvard.
Harvard was game to the end and
sSpurted again, but was too late to
retrieve the fortunes of the day.

xeconds The record for the course
is 1s min. Al Sec, made by Oxford

Putney, Eng, Sept. s.-All the
members of the Harvard crew had
an excellent nights rest and were
this morning feeling ready. to row
the race of their lives and very con-
fident of success. The Cambridge.
men were no less satisfied that they
would be able to carry off the aquat-
ic palm. The weather conditions were
ideal, when the two crews turned
out early in the day for brief practice
starts, their final appearance before
the boat race which has caused the
greatest excitement ever aroused in
Great Britain by any contest over the
historic championship course from
Putney to Mortlake. Early in the af-
ternoon the banks of the river were
lined with people to an extent that
promised the greatest outpourlng eV-
er witnessed at a boat race. Hosts
of Americans were early on the
grounds, taking points of vantage to
enliven the American crew with the
Harvard College yell. Although in
some quarters patriotic pride raised
Cambridge stock as high as 130 to
so. most of the betting was done at
nearer even figures.
