THE SECONDING SPEECH
OF JERRY B. SULLIVAN

The hour has arrived when Demo
cracy will speak with reference to the
policies it believes best for the Amer
lean people. Democracy mean so
much that It's followers have hope of
ultimate success. The principles of
Democracy are eternal and everlast-
ing. The application of such to every
day life requires the truest patriot
ism and the most fervent devotion.
There never was a time in the life
of the Democratic party when it was
as much of a necessity as at this
hour.
In the name of Democracy a cen
tralized government is declared the
best for a free people.
In its name the three departments
of a Republican form Of government.
is being c~rystallized into one.
In its name II am is being subst-
.tuted for "we are"
In its name a standing army and
a great navy is more potent for good
than the plaudits of a noble peas
antry.
In its name prosperity is most, as
sured if the taxing power is increased.
In it's name, the flag represents
force, the dollar love Of country.
In its name civil service is strangled
that favorite sons may be the. recipi-
!ent of executive favor.
In its name the benefciaries of
special privilege are paramount to
those who sustain the integrity of the
nation.
In its name a political organization
proclaims a policy that omits the es-
sentials Of a representative govern
ment.
Against such a policy the Demo
cratic party e%nunciates the proposition
of individual liberty and constitu-
tional rights. 1t believes labor and
capital are partners with equal rights
and equal privileges.
Stands For Equality of All the People
The Democratic party stands for the
| equality of all the people, 1t insists
that the high and the low, the rich
and the poor, should each sustain
their portion of the burden of govern.
ment.
In the contest of 1908, the battle is
already marked out. For more than
half a century the scene of action has
been in the eastern portion of our
country. Today that field has changed.
The middle west will be the territory
in which the contest will take place
There will be fought an Austerlitz OF
Waterloo.
To this contest we challenge the
party Of special privilege and cen
tralized power to mortal combat
Against it's battlements we will array
the farmer and the merchant, the
laborer and the employer, who be
lieve in the policy of live and LEI
live.
j To thu army that says. the govern

ment protects the few, we will array
the army that says the government
should be just and fair to all. To the
army that says special privilege is
just, we will array the army who be-
lieves laws are based on equality and
that prosperity rests upon labor and
economical living. To those who say
protection of private industries Is
necessary to prosperity, we will as
sert and charge that tribute in any
form Is unworthy a free people. To
those who assert that the higher the
tax, the greater the prosperity. we
will announce that taxation In any
form Is a hardship, andathe least gath
cred, the better for all.
Commanders are About to be Chosen.
The commanders are about to be
chosen. Upon n side stands he who
represents the classes and has elimi-
mated, form the catalogue of pro
gression the term square DEAL" One
who stands for might as against
equality and promotes the creature
at the expense of the creator who
is the representative of organized
wealth to the deteriment of national
welfare; who stands for a centralized
government as against the rights Of
the state; who struck at labor to des-
troy, not to protect. Against such a
commander as this, the Democratic
party offers as it's candidates a man.
A nan of Christian devotion, whose
banner is equal rights and whose
motto is love of country.
A man of unbounded wealth of love,

men.
A man who stands for a single stan
dard of morality, in public and private
life.
A man who when the hour vas dark
est, when Democracy was trailing in
the dust, caught her up with the low
ing embrace of a father until today
throughout the world his name and
Democracy are synonymous.
Iowa, the imperial state of the mid
die west, whose electoral vote today
hangs in the balance, unites with her
sister state of Nebraska in presenting
for your consideration as one At to
hold the highest Office within the gift
of the American people, that peerless
leader of Democracy, William j,
Bryan.

senting That Peerless Leader Bryan
Name him as your standard bearer,
and from early morn until late al
night, every breeze will watt the
song of his success.

the orange picker of California in
proclaiming his virtue and loving the
principles he advocates.
Name him and the manufacturer OF
the east and the farmer of the west
will stand shoulder to shoulder for
the enlarging Of the commerce and
trade of our country.
Name him, and from every church
will ascend the prayers, from every
home the hopes and aspirations of q
loving people, that he may be their
chief executive.
Name him, and there will pass as
with the rapidity of the lightning's
fash throughout the length and breath
of this nation, a current of terminated
and r~ejuvenated patriotism.
Name him, and labor will hold high
its head with courage and with hope.
Capital will be inspired with faith
and with confidence and the people
will rejoice that Democratic govern
ment and constitutional rights are to
be restored.
Name the man who amid the thund-
ering of opposition, and the clouds OF
prejudice, stood as an adamantine
rock for the integrity of this nation
and hurled into the face of the de-
tractors Of this country the right of
the people. to rule.
Name him that the world may know
how a Republican form of govern
ment still lives.

duty to change them. The only basis
upon which the integrity of our courts
a stand is that of unswerving JUS
tice n protection of life, personal
liberty and property. If judicial pro-
cesses may be abused we should
guard them against abuse.
Experience has proven the neces.
sity of a modification of the present
law relating to injunctions, and we
relterate the pledge of our national
platforms Of 1896 and 1904 in favor Of
the measure which passed the United
States senate in 1896, but which a re.
publican congress has ever since re.
fused to enact, relating to contempts
in federal courts and providing for
trial by jury in cases Of indirect con-
tempt.
Questions of judicial practice have
arisen, especially in connection with
industrial disputes. We deem that the
parties to all judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid Impartial.
!ty and that iniunctions should not be
issued in any cases in which injunc-
lions would not issue if no Industrial
dispute were involved.
ms organization OF In.
dustry makes it essential that there
should be no abridgement of the right
Of wage and producers to or
ganize for the protection of wages and
the Improvement Of labor conditions
to the end that such labor organiza-
tions and their members should not
be regarded as illegal combinations in
restraint or trade.
We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment Of a law creating a de-
partments Of labor, represented sepa-
rately in the presidents cabinet,
which department shall include the
subject Of mines and mining.
We favor the eight hour day on all
government work.

M. w. Cunningham, representing
the Redpath Chautauqua system, arriv-
ed in Ottumwa this noon from Man
kato, Mimi, and will complete ar
engagements for the Ottumwa Chau-
tauqua which opens on July %, and
promises to be bigger and better than

liver all tickets signed for at the close
of last years Chautauqua, take new
subscriptions, etc. Remembre the
season tickets can only be had at

vance as the tickets are $500 at the

1t will avoid making return calls. De-
eide now.

RAILROADS.

We assert the right of congress to
exercise complete control over inter
state m and the right of each
state to exercise like control over COM
merce within its borders.
We demand such enlargement OF the
powers of the Interstate commerce
commission as may be necessary to
compel railroads to perform their du-
ties as common carriers and prevent
discrimination and extortion.
We favor the efficient supervision
and rate regulation of railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce.; to this
end we recommend the physical val.
uation of railroads by the interstate
commerce commission, such valuation
to take into consideration the physical
value of the property, the original cost
of production, and all elements Of
value that Will render the valuation
made fair and just.
We favor such legislation as will
prohibit the railroads from engaging
in business which brings them into
competition with their shippers; also
legislation which will assure such re-
duction in transportation rates as con.
ditions Will permit, care being taken
to avoid reductions that would compel
a reduction of wages, prevent adequate
service, or do injustice to legitimate
Investments.
W. favor such legislation as will in
crease the power of the interstate com

We further declare that all agree

We favor the enactment Of a Law
