stead of denying II I decided to admit
II and justify II; and began TO read
up on the subject of dreams.
thought would post myself and find !.
out what really was, or whether It
was a disgracCful thing or not and I
found 10 NV surprise that the subje ct's
of dreams was really quite subject.

freamers before. vent to tie Bible,
where I always 10 when am in trou-

no much truth in 1t as the Bible con-

see II I could find anything about the
dreamer: and found that there were
dreamers in me Bible, and that the
most prominent one was Joseph and
because Josephs brothers called him
a dreamer. and they did not like his
dreams. they hated him. They plot
| Ted to kill him. and when he was sent
ont by his father to his brethren who
had their hooks in ,Dothan, they said,
| Here comes the dreamer; let us put
him away and be done with him. But
finally they decided that instead OF
killing him they would Just put him
down in a pit, and let the father be-
| lieve that he had been killed in some
way nv q wild beast Then some mef-
chants came along. and they toxin
Joseph out of the pit and sold him,
and sent lin down into Egypt. and
then they congratulated themselves
and said. Now we are rid OF the
dreamer" and things went along for
awhile until they had almost forgot
ten Joseph. and then there came
famine and they had to so down into
EgyDt and buy corn, and when they
got to Egypt there they found the
dreamer. and he had the corn; AMI
so. nv friends, I made up my mind
il was not so bad to te dreamer pro-
vided You have the corn. and in that
speech I proceeded to show the Re
publicans how the Democratic party
had been dreaming and how they had
the corn and were prepared to satisfy
all political needs.
The more l thought on this subject
| the less wiling | was to class myself
with the drC amers, for it was too high
and honored iJr me. The dreamer>

And now, Democrats, let me ask
you a question: If a Republican pres
idcnt can win popularity by spasmod-
ically and spuradically doing some
thing Democratic what would be the
popularity Of a Democratic president
who was consistently and persistently

much TO encourage us.
| In this state you have by organi2a-

/ your organization bid you have some
! feeling for those who are not so sit
uatcd that they can protect them

! tect yourselves. Have you not learned
! something Of what a monopoly is, and
/ are you not ready now to join with us
! to lay the Az at the root of the tree,
ana instead of saying as Secretary
| Taft said, that there are good trusts
and bad trusts, are you not ready loCS,
say with us that God never made
man good enough to stand at the head
of private monopoly and control the
price of what people had to use?"
Is il not time that we seriously
take up this question and put the
American government back upon its
old foundation. and make it again a
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people? Are you not
ready to enlist in this contest? ! have
been fighting fer this principle now
seventeen years. and ask for nothing
better than | might continue this fight
until God alls me from my earthly
labors. Are You willing TO enlist. not
