the necessity of lining up the states on

phatic majority.

The Famous Plank.
The famous "anti-injunction" plank
modification which will probably be
passed, is as follows:
The courts of Justice the bull
warks of our liberties, and we yield to
none In our purpose to maintain their
dignity. Our party has given to the
bench "a long line of distinguished
Judges who have added to the respect
and confidence In which this depart
ment must be jeaIOusly maintained
| We resent the attempt of the repub-
Iican party to rinse false issue re-
speeding the Judiciary. 1t is an unjust
reflection upon great body of our
citizens to assume that they lack re-
spect for the courts.
lit Is the function of the court tO
interpret the laws which the people
| create, and If the laws appear to work
economical, social or political injus.
tice, 1t is our duty TO change them. The
only basis upon which the integrity
of our courts can stand is that of I'M
swerving justice and protection of life
personal liberty and property. If jul
diciaI processes may be abused W.
should guard against abuse.
Experience has proven the necessit.
of n modification of the present Law
relating to injunctions. and we reiter
ate the pledge of our national platform
of 1906 and 1904 in favor of the meas
ure which passed the United State
senate in 1896, but which republican
congress has ever since refused to en-
net, relating to cOntempts I'm fedora
courts and providing for trial by jur!
in cases of indirect contempt.
Questions of judicial practice hav'
arisen. especially in connection witt
industrial disputes. We deem tina
parties to all judicial proceeding
should be treated with rigid Impair
tInIity, and that injunctions shoul'
not be issued in any case in whicl
iniunctiOnS would not issue If no In
dustriaI dispute were involved.
The expanding organization of in
dustry makes it essential that Their
should be no abridGement of the RICH
of wage-earners to organize for tn
protection of wages and the improve
ment of labor conditions, to the en-
that such labor organizations and thei
members should not be regarded n
Illegal combinations In restraint o
trade.
Gratis have been good to me. l ca
find no words to express my appre
citation of the confidence and good VII
the demonstration indivates."
These were the words of Williar
Jennings Bryan today after the tele
graph instrument on the front pore
at Fairview had licked off the new
that the great outburst of democrati
enthusiasm at Denver was over an

speech. Mr. Bryan had deserted tn
