people and are more anxious to keep
the government under control of the
people. Take the election of United
States senators by the people as test.
The democrats want to give to the
voters chance to elect and to control
their representatives in the United
States senate. The democratic party
in the house of representatives passed
the first resolution for the submission
of the necessary constitutional amend
ments. They did this eight years be-
fore any republican congress did it.
The democratic party has twice de-
manded this reform in its national
platform. The republican party has
not done SO. Why do democratic lead
ers insist upon this reform and republi-
can leaders oppose it? There can be
bat one answer-the democratic party is
nearer to the people than the repub bill
can party. Young man, will you stand
with the people or against themf !
The answer to this question affects
yonn country. If you are with the
people your influence, be it great or
small, will hasten their victory. If you
are against the people, your influence
may .retard that victory. But while
in the first instance it is your country
that may gain or lose by your action,
you must remember that in the long
run your position in politics will depend
upon your conduct You can not fool
the people always. You may lead them
astary if you dare, but they will punish
You when they find it out. You may
work for the people without their
recognizing it at first, but you can
trust them to discover the character
of your work and to reward you
accordingly.

BRYAN'S ADVICE TO
FIRST VOTERS

Young man, great responsibility
attaches to your first vote. AS you
begin, you are likely to continue. The
momentum that carries you into a party
at the beginning of your political life
is apt to keep You in that party unless
some convulsion shakes you out of it.
Start right, and in order that you may
start right, examine the principles of the
parties and policies which they advo-
cate.
There are two great political organi-
cations in the United States, one fifty
years Old and the other more than a
century old. The republican party has
been in power almost unintcrruptedly
for more than half II century, and under
it's reign abuses have grown up which
threaten the pcrpetuity of the Govern
ment and cndanger our civilization
SO great are these abuses that republi-
can reformcrs are now pointing out
that something must be lione-and what
can be done? The first thing is to undo
the things that have been done and the
party to undo these abuses is not the
party which has done them, but the
party which has protested against these
abuses and pointed out remedies
The republican party has turned the
taxing power over to private individ-
uals; it has allowed monopOlieS to grow
up and assume control of the industries
OF the country by granting privileges
by law and by giving immunity to the
large vi0lat0rS of the law; the republic
can party has permitted the fortunes of
the predatory rich to become 50 large
that government is corrupted policies
dcbauchcd and business polluted.
The democratic party proposes to
withdraw the taxing power from
private hands to 80 lCgislatc as to make
private monopoly impossible, and to
enforced the law without discrimination
II proposes to protect legitimate wealth
and punish those who attempt to
plumber the public for private gain
On which side do you stand young man?
Arc you with the masses in their effort
to restore the government to it's old
foundation and max" it government
of the people, for 'hr people. and by
thC people. or arc yOu with the rCpubli-
can leaders in their effort to prrpctuutc
the party in power by selling immunity
in return for campaign contributions?
There are always two parties in the
country, and one is necessarily nearer
to the people than the other! In this
country the democratic party is nearer
to the people than the republican party.
It's leaders have more faith i'm the
