Roosevelt Has Stolen Democratic
Thunder

that of Thomas Jefferson. InaC IT,
self is an honor. No mar has stood up
as a constructive statesman equal to
Thomas Jefferson,
81 have been accused of being a
dreamer, and l stood up and took
notice. There were four big Republic
cans who so accused me, and so l con-
clude to plead guilty, and to justify
myself 1 went to the Bible to see If L
could find any authority for a dreamer.
Now if the Republicans attack me L
look to the Bible, and if there is any
thing there to justify me let them at
tack the Bible. SO l found out there
was Joseph. He was a dreamer. They
got rid of him for a while, but then
they went down to Egypt and they
found Joseph. He had the corn.
JEFFERSON THE DREAMER.
"The part of the dreamer is not so
unimportant in history. Often the
dreamer died. The dream lives for
| ever. but the toiler dies in a day. The
greatest dreamer of all was Thomas
Jefferson. He dreamed of the day
when man would have his rights, and
[ am but a toiler to build the struc-
ture of which he dreamed. 1t is enough
for me if [ can realize the worlds
greatest dreamer in craftsmanship.
sEOur nation has been holding up the
theory of government. L left home
to 90 to foreign lands, proud OF the
Democratic party, and l returned
prouder to know it was $4,000 miles
around. The democratic party is
known the world V The democrat
ic party is trying to enlarge the partlcl-
patton of the people in government,
while the aristocratic party is doing
the reverse.
"In great Britain to-day the question
is whether the people, speaking thru
the House of Commons, shall be para
mount or not. do not know what
the result may be, but l do know that
the people of England will dictate their
policy thru the House of Commons and
no House of Lords shall dictate a
policy. Great applause.)
DEMOCRACY WORLD WIDE.
could show you how the leaven
Jefferson introduced into this country
is spreading to all countries. In this
country his doctrine is spreading In
the early days we had two great men:
jefferson and Hamilton. Jefferson
said trust the people, and Hamilton
divide the people into two classes-tht
well born and those not well born. !
am glad Jefferson's view prevailed. J
am afraid if Hamilton's view prevail
ed l would not have been in the we'll
born class for my father had to Wori
too hard. l understand that somewhere
down here three generations are neces
sary to show you that you did no worl
before you can qualify in Hamilton
class.
"The Hamilton idea was the election
Of the President for life, or his contin
ance in office during good behavior
which is practically the same thing
Now President Roosevelt is only a few
years older than 1 am, so what chance
would l have?"
A roar of laughter greeted the sally
but MI. Bryan never cracked a smile.
."The people don't like the Hamil
tonian do~etIine," he continued: eff il
came to a life tenure for Senators vol
would be pretty badly off in this State
"The direct vote for Senators was ad
vocated by a Democratic platform ant
it will be advocated again next year.
The trump of the President of thi
country has been due to the fact tina
he has advocated Democratic princi
pies.
DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES VINDICATEl
"No platform has ever been NOR
completely indicated than ours of 199
by the history since.
ga lot of people did not know wha
16 to l meant. We won a great victor,
on that very question at that time.
"We said the country needed NOR
money, and the Republicans said No.
The Republicans won. When the cleo
tion was over new gold mines were dis
covered, and so to-day we have NOR
than so per. cent. per capita than il
1896.
1.-The money question has been re
moved from the politics of the countr,
by the act of God. When the Republi
cans would not give us more none.
God came to our relief and gave u
more money" (Applause.)
On the question of trusts Mr.. Bryal
said the Presidents popularity was du
to his stand against certain trusts ant
that this attitude of the President wa
but a step foreward already advocates
by the Democratic party. He said tn
President had gone farther than an,
other Republican, but he had not gon
far enough and that the Democratic
party had long since laid the X a
the root of the tree of corruption ant
would continue to do so.
"The popularity of the President i
due to his advocacy of Democrats
doctrine. The Chicago convention wa
not actually fighting the question o
gold and silver, but it was against tn
predatory corporations"
