Twelfth wards were waiting for the
candidate and fell into the parade, TAX
ing the right of line, under the leader
ship Of John f. Monahan.
1t was almost $50 o'clock when the
parade reached the hall. On the side
walk were thousands of others going
to the meeting, so in a few minutes the
hall was damned, the gallery filed,
and several siderooms crowded with
masses of humanity.
The first outbu,st came when Mr..
Kern appeared. Mayor Haussling and
Commissioner Harrigan received their
share. "Harrigan" was played and the
crowd yelled. Colonel Price was as
happy as ever in his Introduction.
Mr.. Kern is not ar eloquent talker.
He Is rugged OF phrase and plain In
words. Those qualities. however,
helped him to reach his audience more
strongly han great fluency OF tongue,
and he held attention every minute or
his speech of almost an hour. Severai
times during his talk he referred to
Taft as civilian Henry Taft, instead
of William Howard.
After conveying a message "of hope
and good cheer" to his audience from
the Democrats of Indiana, Mr.. Kern
told of his acquaintance with Mr..
Bryan and his pride to be on the
ticket with him.
Complimented by Roosevelt.
"Only a few months ago." said Mr..
Kern, president Roosevelt referred to
him as one of the five great statesmen
of the world. Yet they tell us he is
unsafe. He Is unsafe, and will con-
fin,fo m ha To tho mon who are hIlSX
plundering their fellow man."
Mr.. Kern then took up the subject
of labor as treated by both parties, and
considered the injunction planks of
each. He told of a case in Indiana, in
which he was counsel for some strikers
whose wages were cut rs per cent.
'In defense of their right to strike,
these men went on strike" the nomi-
nee went on, land In the next three or
four weeks after the injunction order
was issued charges were trumpet up
no, / will not say trumpet up-but
charges were made against twenty
three or four of the strikers, all being
accused of disobeying the order.
John Jones, one of the men, said
that he had not been in the town when
the order was said to have been VIC
lated by violence. Shall a man go to
jail anu De ulSBTdceu, sudii iS WIZ
and children be disgraced by a prison
sentence passed on him before he has a
trial by jury?
1.-THE question in this campaign is,
When John Jones is brought up
charged with violation of an injunc-
ton order shall he have his liberty
taken from him, be disgraced and sent
To Jail without a fair trial by a jury or
twelve of his fellow men?
Remember that the question Is not
whether a man hall be sent to Jail If
he is guilty of crime, but whether he
shall be sent to jail before a jury of
twelve good men n true shall nave
passed upon his case.
"Gompers and John Mitchell and
your other great leaders came to Den
yer and submitted to us there the same
proposition hat had been put before
the Chicago convention, Without a
dissenting vote the plank which they
desired was written in the platform.
1t is a simple plank providing for sim
pie Justice. For our candidate we
chose a man who for years has been
fighting this law for granting arbitrary
injunctions."
"Out In Chicago they have formed a
Republican business mems club. Whom

Republicans Created Classes.
IF should be accused of arraying
the masses against the classes, / shall
say thai If there are any classes in this
country I am not responsible for their
creation, but that the responsibility lies
on the Republican party, which. while
1t has been in owe has enacted such
legislation as has brought about the
establishment OF the classes. The
Democratic party is for the people as
q whole n not a class of the people.
"Now, this year, take your manhood
with you into the voting booth; forget
that you are Democrat or Republican;
remember only that you are going to
vote as American citizens. Forget any
fear of unholy power given by an un-
holy band of men in Congress headed
by Cannon and Sherman. 1t is your
patriotic duty to drive from power the
party tha is dominated by this un-
holy crew."
Mayor Haussling was next presented
and received an ovation.
