POWERS IS FOR BRYRN
Man from Salt. Lake City Seconds His
Nomination for President of
United States.

United States.
O. W. Powers, of Salt Lake City,
seconded the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
He said, in part:
"Mr. Chairman: Few sovereigns
have greater power than the president
of the United States. By reason of
OUR constitution, our chief magistrate
yields a power but few comprehend.
He moulds our laws and controls our
policy. This office is one requiring the
loftiest craftsmanship and the severest
self-abnegation. The office should be
filed by a man so close to the people
that he can hear their heart-beats and
understand the longinGs that throb
with the pulsations of their earnest
life.
deaf to the voice of flattery, his ear
should be quick to discern the moan
Of distress from the lips of toll. Blind
to the dazzling jewels of wealth and
power. his eyes should see that our
strength and influence depends upon
the well-being Of the millions who fight
the unending battle of existence. Be-
llev1ng in our institutions, his motto
should be America for Americans.' He
should declare that upon this continent
we have the right to legislate and to
advance internal improvements and to
protect the property we create without
let or hindrance from abroad. Ke
should believe in the Monroe doctrine
and be ready to defend it. He should
recognize that wherever our flag is
raised over our own territory that it
is raised by virtue of the constitution
and that no discriminating taxation
can be permitted, even though de-
manded by the concentrated power of
unlimited capital. He should scorn all
entangling alliances abroad and resent
all foreign interference with the affairs
Of this continent.
"Such president must come from
the ranks Of the people.
Such a president must Of necessity
come from the Democratic party whose
principles were crystalized from in
nate longings in the human heart for
liberty. Such a presidnt was nom
mated at Chicago in 1896, when the
Democracy Of Jefferson was rein
carnated and the roar of human ac-
claim that greeted his name swept out
of the convention hall like tidal
wave of hope and bore upon it's crest
the suffrage of 100000 Of unbought
voters who named him as their choce.
"He rallied well-nigh hopeless
party and so well did he endow it with
his lofty courage that it met defeat
without faltering and again proudly
holds his name aloft as a beacon of
promise. He is today once more the
choice of the Democratic party for
president: He is today the choice Of
the common people for president and in
their name and in the name Of the
state Of Utah, I second the nomination
IF William ]. Bryan"

OC oLduudlu pSdIcI Ol Ills party III
this gigantic contest,
"Since time began no grander trib-
ute was ever paid to any man by a
free people. He is recognized today
rs the most representative citizen Of
the nation, the peer Of any living man.
Friends and foes have learned that
he was shaped in that heroic mold in
which the worlds great patriots,
statesmen ana leaders have been cast.
First nominated when ten years
younger than any other presidential
candidate ever chosen by prominent
party, living in state 500 miles far
ther west than that in which any pres
ident has ever lived, he has grown in
the affections of the people as the
years have passed.
"Speaking and writing freely on all
subjects, his heart has had no secrets
and his friends have increased in num-
bers and in confidence. Without an
organization to urge his claims, with
out campaign fund to circulate liter
allure in his behalf, without patronage
to br1be single voter, without a
predatory corporation to coerce dts EN-,
ployes into his support, without a
subsidized newspaper to influence the
public mind, he has won signal vic
tory at the primaries and has become
the free choice of the militant Democ
racy of the nation.
Forming in one unbroken phalanx
extending from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia and from Michigan to the Ever
glades, the yeomanry Of the party have
volunteered their services to make him
the party candidate, and they will not
lay down their arms until they have
made him the nations chief executive.
