Address Lacks F ire.

The address lacked the ere OF Bever-
idge's utteranccs OF tho day before. II
used many more words 10 say the same
things. Aside from the eXtempora neous
words about the nc~roes and the Missis-
sippi. II contained little that Beverdge
had not said.
But IL was the colonel who was deliv-
cring IL and he got all the attention he
could have asked from his faithful. There
were few cheers. but much hand d-ClRp-
ping as he progressed. Like Beyerldge.

declared that women OF right ought To

on his feet Tim has been one OF the

Confession of Faith.

In summing up the specific policies eX.
pounded IN his address Mr. RooseVett
spoke as follows:
Now friends, this is my confession, OF
faith. have made II rather long De-
cause I wish you TO know just what my
deepest convictions are on the great
questions OF today, so that II you choose
to make me your standard bearer In the
fight, YOU shall make your choice under
standing exactly how | iceland ~, after
hearing me, you think you ought 10
choose some one else. shall Loyalty abide
by your choice. The convictions to which
/ have come have not been arrived at as
the result of study in the closet or the IL
brary, but from the knowledge / have
gained through hard experience during
the many years In which. under many
tolied with men believe in a larger
use OF the governmental power to help
remedy Industrial wrongs. because 1t has
been borne In on me by actual expert
ence that without the exercise OF such
power many of the wrongs will go un-
remedied. I believe In a larger oppor-
tunity for the people themselves. directly

troll their governmental agents. because

the causes In which / most believed, not
from the politicians and the men who
claim an exceptional right to speak In
business and government. but by going
over their heads and appealing directly
20 the people themselves. I am not un-
dor the slightest deIuson as to any power
that during my political career I have at
any time possessed. Whatever OF power
] at any time had, I obtained from the
people could exercise II only so long
as. and 10 the extent that the people

The actions OF the Chicago convcr-

that the adoption OF these new methods

IAN I desire to do by securing more
direct control OF the government agents

give the people the chance TO make their
representatives really represent them
