 Every people that has left Its i'm i'm, press upon history has faced such eris~s m most instances, where grave dangers have threatened the safety or 8he state. some great character, some master mind has been found, produced selves. with capacity to direct alright the energies of the people. This was true of the ancient world; It has been true of the modern world; it is true of 10 meet today. The Approaching cor: porations have gradually strengthened their hold upon the government nntil they now menace popular institutions. ernsnef,t shall be restored to the con- trol of the people and be administered in the Interest of all. or whether It shall remain an instrument In the hands of the few for levying tribute
 In his special message to Congress last winter. President Roosevelt de- clared. substantially, that certain rnously rich by expressing the wage. earner, defrauding the public and practicing all forms of iniquity, have banded together. and by the unlimited use of money. endeavor 10 secure free dom from restraint and to overthrow and discredit all who honestly admins ter the law.
 That the methods by which these men have acquired their great fortunes can only be justified by system of morality. that would permit every form of criminality. every form of vio- asnee' eoTrspsisSlnl Tsgpasllcsn and RpsSer.. LpsSe;
 Tor many years, and especially du' ring the last twelve years. these very men have been in control Of the He- publican party; they have financed sv' ter of q century. These exploiters of the people, whom the President has so scathingiy denounced, have given tn cir enthpsiastic support to the @ Republican ,ata their hands upon the trust funds of in surance companies and other corpora zions and turned the piunder over to thus alchsd from the innocent and help less, to purchase Republican victory, has not been repaid. -
 And where do we find these men to- day? Where are the swollen fortunes Of which we have heard so much? Just where we would expect to ind them supporting the Republican ticket and furnishing the sinews of war for the Republican committee as usual.
 The platform adopted by the late convention shows what the Republican party h truth represents. In framing the platform, every genuine reform which the President has advocated was scorned and repudiated. The Wiscon- sin delegation asked that one. or two reform blanks be placed in the plat 8orm..and for It's pains was denounced vote of eight to one refused to approve those policies which the President for four years has been urging upon his party. The mask of hypocrisy has been tend to favor the reforms advocated by the President. and 1t is now apparent why the system admires Taft and hates the Senator from Wisconsin When compelled to choose between an appeal to the conscience of the nation in defense of its platform and candi- dates, on the one hand. and the mil Hons that the special interests may bs otker, that convention rejected the peo. pie and continued its alliance witt Mammon.
 ..The mask of hypocrisy and decep, ton has been torn from the face o1 those who pretend to favor the policie of the President, and we now know why the system admires Taft, toIer ates Roosevelt, and hates the Senato
  choose between an appeal to the man hood and conscience of the people fl defense of It's platform and candidate on the one hand, and the millions tha upon to contribute. on the other, ths Republican party rejected the peopl< and continued it's alliance with Main. anon.
 Facing Grave satuation.
 If the charges made by the Presi, AnHf tFHlQ-AnA thaR -r.rs are. indeed face to face with a situa. ton as grave as any in our history. How shall 1t be met The good sense patriotism and united action of tht evils.
 ssTo wage a successful fight we mus have a leader. The Republican party dominated by the seekers of specia privileges. cannot furnish him. Repub 7tcanB who really desire reform art power1ess; the efforts of the Presiden have been futile.
 The Democratic party must furnisl the leader which present conditions de naand. and he must be a man known {, be free from the influences that con 4rol the Repu blican party. He must b, man of superior intellect, sound judg ment, positive convictions and mora courage-one who will meet the force of plutocracy with the naked sword O 4ruth--one who knows no surrender He must have a genius for state-craft he must be man of wide experienct in public affairs; he must have abilitI to formulate policies and courage tt defend them.
 But above all, he must have faitl 1n the people. He must not only be aieve in the right of the people to gov ern. but in their capacity to do 50. Ant ne must be a man whom the peopl, know and trust.
 The Democratic party has man, distinguished men who might be chosei as our standard bearer; but it has oni man who above all others possesses thu necessary qualifications and is eminent ay fitted for this leadership.
 He Is man whose nomination vii leave no doubt as to where our part, genius for state-craft Is shown by in constructive work he has done in pro posing reforms, and by the abilit, with which he has fortified his position But we may go farther.
 "A few months since, he visited tn principal nations of the world Fl came in contact with the leading mind i of Christendom. and the world abroa i that. tribute justly due to men of hig Bryan as a statesnnan.
 '1n the most distinguished peac convention that has assembled h re cent years, he proposed a plan whicl if adopted. would grove more effectiv than any arbitration treaty that ha ! yet been made. and by his influence h ! tatiVes of the twenty-six leading ma 1ions there assembled.
 'Is he thoroughly informed regard ing the issues of this campaign? Rea his speeches and his writings, whic for nearly twenty years have been part of the political literature of tn nation. Is he sincere. brave and deter mined? Even his political opponent now admit that he Is.
 T have had a close personal and DO litieal acquaintance with this maI whose name Nebraska presents, sine
