Thomas Jefferson and reverting to Mr.
Bryan provoked vociferous Repub-
lican applause and general laughter
when he said: II believe that Mr..
Bryan is sincere and honest and
believe that he is truthful, and | be-
lieve further that he cannot represent
the principles of Democracy before
the American people. l believe that
he cannot preach the doctrine of home
rule in the states. | do not believe
he can preach the doctrine of Amer
lean individuality, for when he rises
as our leader he is wound around by
his heresies of free silver by his doc
Irines of governmental ownership and
by his guaranteeing of the bank de-
posits of the United States and by
all those other socialistic tendencies" !"
The country, he declared, needs
Democracy now-needs the establish
ment of the principles of Democracy
into our national legislation and needs
TO get away from the principles which
Mr.. Bryan stands for"
Mr.. Leake, after asserting that the
Republicans were a party of expedi-
ancy and the Democrats a party of
principles, said that he had been ac-
cused of being a Republican. He de-
clared, however, that he did not be-
lieye that party was based on sound
principles and the safety of the coun-
| try must rest upon the old, everlast-
ing principle of Democracy as enun-
slated by Thomas jefferson"
