The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-01-24

part, but with a voice reaching distinct ly every nook in the theatre. MT. Bryan began his address, his simple words and conversational air seeming to cast a spell over his audience. Everything was so quiet that one could almost have heard the drop of a pin. In part he said:
 q wish there had been some other place where I could have stayed while this introduction was going on, but l appreciate the very generous good will that lies back of the words spoken. l have become quite accustomed to visits to Birmingham, and I appreciate the more than complimentary remarks of MT Rhodes, and the very generous eu- logy of Governor Conner. I am glad you have a governor who fully deserves the confidence of the people of Alabama. will recall my first visit to Birmingham, at which time stopped at his home. At that time he was not as well known as he Is now and I was not known at all.
 Democrats With Money.
 Ut Is a mistaken idea that man must leave the democratic party when he gets a little money. I heard once while In Washington that it was harder for man with money to go through the eye or needle than it was for him to remain in the democratic party. also received leIIeT once aSklIlB lllo ilOW hIuSh ihchSJ eS democrat could have, and after studying over the matter have come to the conclu- slon that man with plenty of money can remain in the democratic party as long as he owns his money, but when his mo- ney gets to owning him he must get out of our ranks. Thomas Jefferson was a rich man for his time, yet he was our first democrat.
 If we had more men like Governor Co., f.. .l. ruaa arA xxral1 tSD but who still have the interest of the peo- rle at heart, we would have more demo- cratic states in the east
 q appreciate the fiattery I have re- ceived from those who give me the credit for those things which l have advocated. I am sensible enough to know, however, that If l am at all luminary 1t Is rather a moon rehecting the great sun-Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the democratic party and author of the declaration of in- dependence.
 Bryan as Dreamer.
 "Senator Beveridge once said Bryan IS a dreamer; that the president did things while Bryan dreamed.' 1 thought nothing about 1t, but Cannon, Cummings and oth- CTS began saying 1t and I began to study. going where I always go for high author ity to the Bible, and found out whole lot about dreams.
 T found there a dreamer by the name of Joseph, who told his dreams to his brothers. They plotted to kill him-and he is not the only dreamer who has been plotted against. They put him in a pit and afterwards sold him into captivity. They went to their father and told him the dreamer was dead, and then forgot about him. A famine then came upon the land and his brothers went down into Egypt, where they found the dreamer and he had the corn! So l made up my mind 1t wasn't so bad to be dreamer as long as you nave the corn.
 James Whitcomb Riley says the dreamer lives forever, while the toiler dies If you will go to Europe you will find great cathedral and back of 1t was a dreamer. The dreamer dreamed, and then the toilers made his dream true, working bit by bit for hundreds of years. The toilers died, but the dreamer lives
 There has been one great dreamer in the rauns of democracy-Thomas Jeffer- son. He put his dream upon paper and for more than century the Ntoilers have been toiling to build his dream. The time will come when that dream will be real ibed, and in It's realization every man will be benefited. All want when my days are numbered is that my friends can say I did my best to realize the dreams of Thomas Jefferson.
 Ripe For Realization.
 q believe the American people are ripe for the realization of democratic prlnci- ples Our party is again united, and am glad to say that the differences which di- vided have been forgotten. And while we are united. there Is a division in the republican party, and division so great they can't help fighting it out. The re- former is at work in the republican party though he doesn't amount to much Thank God for any illumination There is a fight between the stand d-patters and the
