the Nation-Exploiters of the Peo
ple-crisis Faced by the Republic.
In presenting the name of William
Jennings Bryan to the Democratic ma.
tional convention, Ignatius ]. Dunn,
former city attorney of Omaha, spoke
as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Gentlemen of the
Convention-C Crises arise iii the life Of
nations which endanger their institu,
tiens and at times ilnperiI the ad.
vance of civilization,
Every people that has left its i'm
press upon history has faced such
crises.
In most instances where grave dan
gers have threatened the safety OF
the state some great character, some
master mind, has been found, pro
duced, as it were, by the conditions
themselves, with capacity to direct
Alright the energies of the people.
This was true of the ancient world.
1t has been true of the modern world.
1t is true of this republic.
We have such a crisis to meet today,
The favor seeking corporations have
gradually strengthened their hold
upon the government until they now
menace popular institutions.
The question is whether this gov.
ernment shall be restored to the con
troll of the people and be administered
in the interest of all or whether il
shall remain an instrument in the
hands of the few for leyying tribute
upon all the rest.

Charles Henry, twenty-five, of West

ten inches long. 1t was of the ordinary
kind, with six-inch blade, one inch in
width and a wooden handle four inches

at the Miners hospital for the removal
of the knife from his stomach. His

from restraint and to overthrow and
discredit all who honestly administer
the law; that the methods by which
these men have acquired their great
fortunes can only be justified by a sys-
TEN of morality Il 1t would permit
every form of criminality, every form
of violence, corruption and fraud.
For many years, and especially dur.
ing the last twelve years, these very
men have been in control of the Repub-
lican party They have financed every
campaign of that party for a quarter
of century.
ExpIoiters of the People.
These exploiters of the people, whom
the president has so scathingly de
nounced, have given their enthusiastic
support to the Republican candidates
and policies. They laid their hands
upon the trust funds of insurance com
panies and other corporations and
turned the plunder over to the Repub
lican committee. The money thus
filched from the innocent and helpless
to purchase Republican victory has
not been repaid
And where do we find these men to
day? Where are the swollen for
tunes of which we have heard Sc
much? Just where we would expect
to find them supporting the Repub.
liean ticket and furnishing the sinews
of war for the Republican committee
as usual.
The platform adopted by the late
convention shows what the Republican
party in truth represents. In framing
the platform every genuine reform
which the president has advocated was
scorned and repudiated. The Wiscon
sin delegation asked that one or tive
reform planks be placed in the plat
form and for its pains was denounced
as Democratic. The convention by d vote
of eight to one refused to approve those
policies which the president for foul
years has been urging upon his party

Shaped In Heroic Mold.

Shaped In Heroic Mold.
Since time began no grander tribute
was ever paid to any man by a free
people. He is recognized today as The
most representative citizen of the ma
tion, the peer of any living man.
Friends and foes have learned that
he was shaped in that heroic mold in
which the worlds great patriots, states
men and leaders have been east.
First nominated when ten years
younger than any other presidential
candidate ever chosen by a prominent
party, living in state 800 miles far
ther west than that in which any pres
ident has ever lived, he has grown in
the affections of the people as the years
have passed.
Speaking and writing freely ON all
subjects. his heart has had no secrets
and his friends have increased III num-
hers and in confidence.
Without an organization to urge his
claims, without campaign fund to cir
culate literature in his behalf, without
patronage to bribe single voter, with
out a predatory corporation TO eoerce
its employees into his support, without
a subsidized newspaper to influence the
public mind, he has won signal vic
tory at the primaries and has become
the free choice of the militant Democ
racy of the nation.
Forming in one unbrelzen phalanx,
extending from Massachusetts to Cali.
fornia and from Michigan to the Ever
glades, the yeomanry of the party have
volunteered their services to make him
the party candidate, and they will not
lay down their arms until they have
made him the nations chief executive.

him when a young man the signs of

standard bearer of our party the man
who in the thrilling days of '96 and
1900 bore the battle Scared banner of
Democracy with fame as unsullied and
fidelity as spotless as the crusaders of
old. Nebraska presents his name be-
cause Nebraska claims his dwelling
place and proudly enrolls him among
her citizens, but his home is in the
hearts of the people

What MIR. Bryan Stands For.

sentatives ever acted favorably upon
the subject. He chanpioned tariff re
form when the west was the hotbed Of
protection.
He favored an income tax before the
income tax law was written. He at
tackled the trusts when Republican
leaders We're denying that any trusts
existed. He advocated railroad regula-
ton before the crusade against rebates
and discrimination began.
He has always been the friend OF
labor and was among the first to urge
coneiliation between labor and capital
He began to oppose government by IN
junction more than a decade ago. He
announced his opposition to imperial.
ism before any other man of promi
nence had expressed himself on the
subject and without waiting to see
whether it would be popular.
When a Wall street panic burst upon
us a few months ago he promptly pro
posed as a remedy the guarantee OF
bank deposits, and so popular has this
plan become that it is today national
issue and supported by the masses Of
the people. He has long advocated leg
islation which will secure publicity as
to campaign contributions.
He believes in peace, in universal
! Christian peace. He believes the desti-
ny of nations should be determined not
by wars, but by applying the princi-
pies of justice and humanity.
Though these principles have met
with uneompromising opposition from
the special interests, he has remained
true to the cause of the people. With
clear vision and with unfaltering trust,
seeing and knowing the truth, he has
never lost faith in its final victory.
Through years of unparalleled polit-
ical warfare, his loyalty to his ideals
and to his fellow men has been album
dainty shown. His refusal to surren-
der his convictions, though subjected
to abuse, denunciation and vindictive
opposition such as few public men IN
all history have been compelled to

courage.

Since 1865 the general material de
velopment of the country has been
such as to transcend all ordinary hu.
man understanding.
Vast new mining fields have been
opened whole areas of coal deposits,
many OF them entirely unsupported,
have been found and developed since
1865. The enormously valuable depos.
its of copper in Montana have all been
discovered and developed since 1865.
Michigan's, though known before then,
have also been mainly developed in
side of 40 years So have the great
iron deposits of Michigan, the zinc
deposits of Missouri and countless beds
of mineral wealth of all sorts in the
south and in the almost boundless
trans-Mississippi regions.
Secretary Seward knew that there
was almost fabulous treasure under
the surface of what was called Rus
sian America when he bought it from
the cars government, but the gold
and silver and other mineral wealth
of Alaska has practically all been
found and developed within the last
tea years. In 40 years the addition
from mineral sources alone to the
wealth of the country has amounted
to billions on the bac'; of billions.
Petroleum was discovered before
1866, and the development of territory
which yielded it was begun 40 years
ago, but by far the greater part of that
development has been accomplished
| since then.
Along with all these things the
area of cultivated land has been in.
creased so that the wheat and corn
and cotton and other crops of the pres.
ent are enormously vaster than they
were in 1865. Manufactures of all
sorts have increased enormously also,
the total for 1865 being worth rather
more than two billions of dollars; this
lures will not be far from fifteen bill
lions of dollars, roughly estimating the
figures from the census OF 1900.
Stimulated by the extension and de-
velopment Of the railroads, and in
turn stimulating their development,in init
mately interlocked and interdependent
with the growth of mining, agriculture
and manufacturing, there has been an
unbelievable growth of cities and
towns.
And, as Uncle Sam, after a right
good dinner of turkey and pumpkin
pie and other standard Yankee viands
contemplates the tremendous advance
! la bA
also dwell in thought upon the fact
that the total of the country's popula
ton has grown from about S3,50000(
in 1866, to more than S0,000,OOO in
1908.
Now these material good things are
all well worth being grateful for, nc
other people on the green earth have
so many reasons of the sort for thank
fulness as the Americans.
