 He has always been the friend of labor, and was among the first to urge concilia- | tion between labor and capital. He begaF | to oppose government by injunction more | than decade ago. He announced his op- position to imperialism before any other | man of prominence and expressed himself on the subject, and without waiting to see whether it would be popular. When a Wall street panic burst upon us a few months ago, he promptly proposed as remedy, the guarantee of bank deposits. and so popular has this plan become that it Is today a national issue and supported by the masses of the people. He has long advocated legislation which will secure publicity as to campaign contrib ut1ons
 "He believes in peace-in universal Christian peace. He believes the destt- ny of nations should be determined not by wars but by applying the principles of justice and humanity.
 Though these principles have met with uncompromising opposition from | the special interests, he has remained true to the cause of the people. With 1 clear vision and with unfaltering trust, seeing and knowing the truth, he has never lost faith in it's final victory. 1 Through years of unparalleled politi- ] cal warfare his loyalty to his ideals and to his fellow man has been abun- i dantly shown. His refusal to surrender I his convictions, though subjected to abuse denunciation and vindictive op- position, such as few public men in ali | history have been compelled to with stand, Is ample proof of his superb | courage.
 His career proves that successful l leadership is determined by the success 1 or failure of great principles rather | than by election to high offce We have met to plan the campaign and to commission the commander un der whom the masses will enlist. We | are not here in response to the voice l of expediency; neither political bosses nor corporate masters sent us here. We are here at the summons of the ranis and file of that political organization | which is the special defender of the | rights of the common people.
 We are here representing all that 1 is best in the traditions of our party; , we feel agaN the spirit that ani- l mated the democracy in the days of 1 Jefferson and Jackson.
 ''The voters have spoken and we as- i semble to give expression of their will. | The voice for the third time calls Me- | braskas favorite son to be the standard
 bearer of his party in this gigantic con- | test
 Since time began no grander tribute
 was ever paid to any man by free peo-
 pie. He is recognized today as the most | representative citizen of the nation the l 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 aud
 leaders have been cast
 First nominated when 10 years young
 CT than any other presidential candidate
 ever chosen by prominent party; living
 in state 300 miles farther west than
 that in which any President has ever
 lived, he has grown in the affections of
 the people as the years have passed.
 Speaking and writing freely on all sub
 jects his heart has had no secrets and
 his friends have increased in numbers
 and in confidence.
 "Without an organization to urge his
 claims; without a campaign fund to cir-
 culate literature in his behalf; without
 patronage to bribe single voter; With
 out a predatory corporation to coerce it's
 employees into his support; without sub
 sidlted newspaper to influence the public 1 mind he has won a signal victory at the
 primaries and has become the free choice
 of the militant democracy of the nation.
 Forming in one unbroken phalanx.
 extending from Massachusetts to Cali | fOrn1a, ana 1rOHn MlculBdH lO tIt Ever l glades, the yeomanry of the party have ! volunteered their service to make him the
 party candidate; and they will not lay
 down their arms until they have made I him the nations chief executive.
 "Nebraskas democracy, which saw in

 standard-bearer of our party the man
 who in the thrilling days of '96 and 1900
 bore the battle-searred banner of democ- , racy with fame as unsulled and fidelity
 as spotIess as the crusaders of old. Me- bra ska presents his name because Ne brasxa claims his dwelling place, and proudly enrolls him among her citizens; but his home is in the hearts of the 1 people.
