body of our constitution, to the great
body of the people themselves-the
greatest legislative tribunal of all.
We nave held this state in the Demo-
cratic column because we have been
true to the people. We have held it in
the Democratic column because we have
always recognized the doctrine that the
people shall rule.
This campaign is a very interesting
campaign. 1t presents not only ques-
tions of great domestic Importance, but
also questions of great national import
ance.
We have as our leader the idol of the
Nevada. Democracy; the man who for
many years has been pre-eminent in our
councils; the worst m%aligned man In
the United States hitherto carieatured
and ridieuled everywhere by the forces
of organized wealth and today he stands
throughout the country recognized for
his substantial qualities of head and
heart; recognized everywhere as the
fearless exponent of popular rights;
treated everywhere with respect; and
you no longer, in the New England and
the middle states, find within them a
popular sentiment that will justify dis
respectful Characterization of William
Jennings Bryan. They recognize the
real conservatism of the man, a con
servatism which leads him to fight for
reform without violent readjustments;
a conservatism regardful of the rights
of all; a conservatism which turns
down any attempt to run the Demo
cratic party into a class party, but
maintains it as the party of the entire
people, as regardful of property rights
as it is regardful of human rights.
My friends, we cannot fail in this
contest. The state Democratic plat
form and the leadership of Mr.. Bryan
recommend our party to this state.
Throughout, in our platforms, national
and state, you find every needed re-
form resolutely demanded. We can
make this state a model commonwealth;
we are making it a model common
wealth. We have passed through the
most serious crisis in our history, and
we find universal acqaiescence every
where in the doctrine that the interests
of all-the property owner and the

ton of law and of order as the estab-
lished conditions under which the pros
perity of all can be secured. We do
not intend this state to fall into the
condition that Colorado fell into. We
do not propose to permit this state to
fall under the domination of class legis-
~lation. We do not intend to permit this
state to be the stage upon which fra
ternal warfare shall be conducted.
We intend to preserve order, to pre-
serve the public peace unaided by the
national government, exercising only
the powers of the people themselves,
pursuant to laws which have, through
their representatives, been passed, and
laws which are subject to an appeal to
the highest tribunal of all-the people
themselves. We propose to gradually
incorporate into our laws every reform
which human experience elsewhere
shows to be beneficial to man; and we
viii move on and establish the record
of being the most progressive common
wealth in the world; and as long as we
pursue that line of action the Democ-
racy will control the state of Nevada.
We have as our national candidate a
mar of the highest genius, of greatest
integrity, of a sincerity that appeals to
all; and, above all, of a kindness and
humanity that are universally reeog-
nized. Shall the people rule is his ap,
peal. Let Nevada on November 3 re
cord it's verdict upon it.
