Some conditions OF success" was
used by Alton B. Parker as the text
OF the following
MY toast is Some Of the conditions
OF success There is only one condi-
tlon, and that is that the Democrats
shall adopt the precept. Unity In es-
Hentials. liberty In nonessentials. and
In all things charity
The influence Of this precept domi-
mating the action in the selection OF
candidates will net interfere with the
ultimate selection. Every man who
has fought for his own candidate
should not forget the candidate OF the
majority IL it We should forget all self
ishness. for the cause of the people Is
at stake.
Rich I'm IateIIect.
We are rich in the material. intellect,
and ability Of our candidates. While the
Republicans made their pledge to revise
the tariff they privately visited the tarin

Representative James T. Lloyd In his
address on The Democratic Congress
sional Committee said:
AT this festal board are the Demo-
Gratis. who for sixteen years have been
the standard-bearers OF their party.
Purpose Of Committee.
Il am assigned tonight to talk OF the
Congressional Committee. 1t IS my pur-
pose TO call your attention to the fact
that the Congressional Committee Is now.
and has been, trying TO elect a Demo-
cratic Congress.
In the campaign OF 1905 the Demo-
cratic Congressional fight was more sue
cessful than the Presidential fight. II the
Congressional fight OF 1910 Is a signal for
what will happen in 1919. the Democratic
candidate will have a majority OF 81 In
the electoral college.
We beg you TO remember the fact
that we are beginning our fight now.
We are going TO fight for Democracy
until the polls close on election day. 1872"
Mr. Hearst announced himself a Demo
crat. and ridiculed Col. Roosevelt. whom
he termed the harlequin Of politics.
Il have always been a devoted Demo-
crat as understand the meaning OF the
word. have always been a sincere be-
Iievcr in the principles OF Jefferson and
Jackson and Lincoln" said he.
Il am here tonight because am a
Democrat through principle and because
believe that the Democratic party has
become and will continue TO be the eK-
ponent of the principle which I have
always followed and for which I have
always fought.
RIdiculeE Col. Roosevelt.
Surely these genuine progressives will
not fall In behind Mr. Roosevelt. who.
when President. sacrificed every pro-
gressive principle for his own advantage,
and on every occasion basely betrayed
the interests OF the people for the sordId
support Of some criminal trust. To sup
port Roosevelt would make the whole
progressive movement ridiculous.
THE man is a very harlequin OF poll
tics, capering forward and backward |
and sidewise over every conflicting quar-
ter OF the political stage, masked as 20 |
his real opinion and intention, attired |
In tinsel patchwork OF opposing prin- !
ciples, carrying not a big stick. but a |
slap-stick. with which to make much |
noise and do no service, appearing un- |
expectedly through every trapdoor OF op- |
portunism. and disappearing acrobatical- |
ly through every open window OF time
serving expediency.
with. Roosevelt as harlequin and 1
Root as CoIumbine. with Rockefeller as 1
clown and Morgan as pantaloon, the
whole progressive movement would be-
come a roaring Christmas pantomime.

nation scene, where prosperity would
again dissolve into panic, and where
Morgan and Rockefeller. revealed en-
throned in Wall street, would once more
