ate, and as / remember the history OF
IT, il was about like this II was re-
ported back from the committee Of
the senate, and in the form IN which
it was reported the Judge could per-
nit jury trial When / read that re
port 1 az once criticised IL. and said
that the bill should not provide mere
ly that the Judge might permit a Jury.
but a jury should be demanded as a
matter of right by the accused. and
my recollection is that senator Allen,
of Nebraska, introduced an amend
mem to that effect and it was adopt
ed, and that it went through the SEN
ate by so unanimous "A vote that no
one called for the roll IL Is now
more than twelve years since that
time, aud yet the influences which
have been opposed to this legislation
have been so strong that up to this
time that measure OF Justice has been
defeated | am very glad that In our
platform there is a provision demand
ing a trial by jury in eases Of indi-
rect contempt
Il am glad, too. that we are able to
agree upon an Injunction plank that
was satisfactory to the leaders of the
laboring men ana the members of the
resolutions committee / was much
gratified and / think the form in
which the party's position is TO stand
upon that subject, ought 70 be salts
factory TO all You viii find that this
is no attempt to interfere with the
legitimate use of the writ Of injunc-
ton where there is real occasion for
II, but the platform says that this
writ shall no be issued in labor dis
pues under circumstances that would
not Justify its use We're there no labor
disputes, and that ought to be salts
factory 70 all, In other wods, that It
shall not be issued merely for the
purpose of giving to one party of a
labor dispute an advantage over the
other. but there must be conditions
that would justify It's issuance ii there
We're no labor dispute. and / think
that the labor leaders In stating It In
hat way have acted wisely, for they
lave not asked for special privileges
'or the laboring men.
Il have simply briefly referred to
hese as some of the rlanks in the
platform believe II can be said |

platform that emhodies 80 much as !
'ur platform does that Is of vital In |
crest TO the great tolling masses of |
he country, and / am glad that the
platform has been broad enough to /
'mbody remedial legislation needed by
I'll elements of our population, and |
he unanimity with which YOU gentle
nen speak. for those who are known
IS wage earners, those who belong to
he labor organizations. this unanim-
ty among you ought to he initiated by
hose who toll in other departments or
industry. for that platform is just as
rue to those who toll upon the farm
IS to those who toll in the factory; It
$ as true to those who toll In the ex-
mango of products as to those who
oil in the original production In a
word that platform, II seems to mesi
peaks forth In the interest OF the
verage man--of the common people |
md ii is because / believe, as stated
\ the platform, that the progress of
ur country must be measured by the
dvancement of the average man. that
appreciate the confidence you have
and the pledges of support
lat you have given | thank you"
