conviction 4Se Sfle great Commoner
will secure the, largest democratic
vote that has been pOlled in many
years.
New York Is aroused. New England
is in the fight and the old south is
solid once more. Even Maine expects
10 elect a democratic governor and
probably one congressman.
Every where Bryan Is spoken Of as
the strongest and greatest democrat
the peerless leader. Everywhere
thinking men are realizing more than
ever during the storm and stress of
war during the economic revolution.
during industrial and social change
during good times and bad the fun.
damental principles of the democratic
party have remained as solid as
rock ShOTt-sighted democrats of the
Tom Watson stripe may have lost sight
Of them. MercenaTy democrats of the
Hearst breed may have deserted the
camp Hair-brained democrats may
fight over trivial and transient issues,
yet the principles of Jefferson and
Jackson endure, and the party is grow
ing in strength every day throughout
the Union
Loyal democrats know only one
-
Changeless as the stars.
The humblest democrat in Florida
can write it The greatest democratic
statesman can only give to its Tepe-
tition the grace of his genius for ex-
preston. The party stands today for:
Personal liberty.
Tie integrity of the constitution.
Equal opportunity for all and Spe-
cial privileges to none.
Government with the consent of the
governed.
Local home rule.
A tariff for revenue only.
The right of trial by jury
Freedom Of speech. freedom of COM Z
science. freedom of assembly and free
dom OF the press
Injividualism as opposed to social Q
ism.
These are the immortal principles
that the democratic party stands for.
These tenets are our only creed, aud
upon this platform it will abide until
time shall be no more. If We prove
true to the party il will once again
become a great constructive power IN
this government of, by and for the
whole people
Our republican friends say that we
are tied to corpse. that Bryan is a
failure and that our principles are
back mum beTs. Because a thing IS
old il is not necessarily untrue Bry-
an may be back number but he is
the strongest democrat in the United
States today Our principles may be
old. so is the Christian religion. older
than any political party on earth, yet
through all the flying centuries the
star of Christianity has shone with
the same changeless light. The fu-
lure of the party depends alone upon
its faithfuness to democracy This is
the golden day for our brother demo-
traits of the good state Of Florida. and
all should aid by pen, voice and money
in the triumph of democracy in 1908.
Yours very truly
!. w WHITE,
Treasurer Bryan Club.
