IFrom speech of acceptance Of william

Our platform declares that the over
shadowing issue which manifests il
self in all the questions now under

No matter which way we turn no mat

Gold Democrats for Bryan.

John Caldwalder, ST., as rigid an old line
Democrat as ever voted in Philadelphia has
declared that be would support and vote
for William Jennings Bryan in the present
campaign, and the coming election.
His son, John Cadwalader, Jr., Democrat
ic Personal Registration Commissioner,
earlier announced that he would turn in for
Bryan and expected to see him elected.
Mr.. Cadwalader, Sr., with his son, led
the campaign Of Judge Gray, of Delaware,
or the Democratic Presidential nomination.
lie did not vote for Bryan in 1896 and 1900.
Judge Tafs he considers dangerous man
because OF his adherence to the Roosevelt
policies. While have not supported all
of the policies of Mr.. Bryan, I will vote for
him. haye differed with him, but that is
difference of opinion only. This is not
because | believe his views are radical.
The people East Of the Mississippi river re-
gard matters from a different viewpoint.
We of the East do not agree with those of
the West, because the views of each are
based upon surrounding conditions.
II will preface my thoughts in this mat
ter as think this is critical time in the
history of our country
Mr.. Cadawalader then referred to Judge
Gray, and said he was the ideal man for
the Presidency of the United States. He is
man of great mental capacity and his fl
ness for such place he has demonstrated.
Speaking of Mr.. Taft, the Republican can
didate, Mr.. Cadwalader said:
"As jurist have the greatest respect
for him. AS President he is dangerous
man. If his fulsome eulogies of Roosevelt
are genuine and if be approves of all that
he has been credited with saying OF Roose-
Yelt, he is more dangerous man than Mr..
Roosevelt, because he is a man of great iu-
dicial experience and knowledge, while Mr.
Rooseyelt's mistakes are due to his ignor-
ance and arrogance
John Cadwallader, Jr., speaking of his
intention to support Bryan, said:-
II am for Bryan and believe that the
principles of Democracy require that every
Democrat shall support him to defeat Taft.
believe there is more Democracy behind
Bryan than there is in the man himself
'tTaft's Endorsement Of all that Roose-
Welt stands for, including his ideas on CEN
tralization of power and governments, shows
that he has not that which Mr. Cleveland
thought he had judicial mind. In my
opinion, Mr.. Taft has not judicial mind.
s'The next President Will have the power
to appoint three members of the United
States Supreme Court. Taft's election
would mean that these Apprentices would be
Republican and this would make eight Re-
publicans in the Supreme Court to one
Democrat. This would change the CON
stifutional form Of government for all time
to come. For that reason there is great
danger in the election of Mr. Taft. Bryan
at least would baye to appoint Democrats. y

The Democratic Appeal.

On another page we publish the official
appeal Of the National Democratic Conn
mittee for financial aid, and ask those of
our readers who feel inclined to contribute
TO act promptly. Since our last Issue we
have received 81 from Philadelphia, 50
from Williamstown, 50 from Clarksboro,
and So from Greenwich.
This is the peoples battle; we are sure
Gloucester County men want TO aid. in
making it victorious one. 4

Now aUncle Joe's" Turn.

None win deny that it is now Uncle
Joe's turn to take the people III ) his
confidence. Down in Danville. it is
true that Mr.. Cannon and his brother
as bankers are thought each TO have
amassed much more than $1,000, 600.
Certainly, his credit in the financial
world rests on the general belief that
approximately that sum represents his
earthly possessions.
If that be true, it is to be hoped
that the speaker viii give details as
to how he got it. If 1t be untrue, then
let him tell exactly how much he is
north, and OF what his wealth con-
sists. and follow Mr.. Bryan's example
in taking the people into his conf
dence.
Mr.. Cannon cannot gracefully re-
fuse to do this. For he himself in
vited the demand now made ON him.

Referring to Nathan Straus, the Buffalo
IN. Y. Times says: Nathan Stratus, New

every poor family and esteemed by
all the people Of Americas metropolis, has
returned from European trip. I came
home early, he said, 30 that might de-
vote the next two months doing all in my
power to secure the election of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Straus is millionaire. He is devot-
ing his life to improve the conditions of
honest labor and the laboring classes; to
make the United States better place in
which to live. It is not surprising that he
is out for Bryan. William Nelson Crom-
well, representative Of E. Fl. Hartman and
other trust millions is also taking an active
part in the presidential campaign. Mr..
Cromwell is collecting funds to aid in the
election Of TAFT. His life work is DEVOTED
to the manipulation of government officers
in the interest Of predatory wealth. Assoc
eiated with him is George r. Sheldon, d.
rector Of twenty trusts, which thrive on
special privileges from the governments. It
is not surprising that they are working for

LEADING MEN INTERVIEWED.

In order to ascertain the state of pub

ocratic candidate for president the Phil
adelphia Record has been interviewing
prominent men in all lines of business
and trade.
Bryan or Taft?' asks the Record.
Surprising as it may seem, that is
really the palpitating question of the
waning year. In 1906 even the most
hidebound of Democrats would have
shaken his head if asked, viii there
be q chance for Bryan in 190S?' As

The Philadelphia custom house re-
ports show that from Jan. / to July 81,
1907, the value Of goods imported to
Philadelphia was $51. 423. III and that
