/ Bryan, that great commOner and peer
| less leader, who hurled defiance at tn
] New York delegation, characterizing i
as wax figures, and putty in the hand!
, of Murphy" He stated that if Bryan
| had been actuated by any selfish mo
! tives he could have welded the con
vention for his own nomination. Il
referring to Wilson the speaker SalC
/ that he was too great man to make
/ a mistake, and he was a man that hao
| defied the money trusts. He referred
! to the incident where Wilson had re-
/ quested Harvey, the editor of Harper S
| Weekly, to take his name down for the
| reason that he thought he was doing
/ him more harm than good by keeping
\ it before the public.
Gives Bryan the Credit.
THAT great commoner, William Jen-
! nings Bryan" judge Clark concluded
has sent this great statesman to US
for our approval, acceptance and sup
port and in November the American
people viii show that they have been
true to themselves in that they have
elected Woodrow Wilson
They tell the Republicans to get to-
gether at the polls, but most of the
good Republicans viii be found voting
the Democratic ticket The judge ad-
monished every one TO work and Work
hard"
NJ. W. stanton rose to make his
speech
In his opening remarks he referred to
Woodrow Wilson as man possessing
accomplishments that every one must
needs admire" He spoke of his work in
eracting laws in New Jersey govern
ing corporations which he considered
were the best in the United States. Th1S
he said Wilson did single handed and
that when he was elected governor Of
that state it was one Of the worst trust
ridden states in the union wilson, ne
said, was not man that the bosses
would want because he administered
government for the people and by the
people.
Woodrow Wilson is the Democratic
leader of the United States. No greater
leader was ever born, and / viii be
glad before I die, to walk up to the
polls and vote for a Democrat who is
the greatest educated man in the
country All Democrats are proud OF
the personal accomplishments Of Wood
row Wilson.
I am surprised to hear that the ring
had the hardihood to connect the name
or Wilson with their campaign Why
they are the bloated bond holders; they
think they are the mOneyed aristocracy
Of FL PaSo- Wilson does not stand for a
single thing that the ring does.
In Chicago the convention was held
by the bosses, and in Baltimore it was
a convention held by the Democracy Of
America, the people who represent the
rank and file coming in to its own
There is not an American citizen who
loves his country who is not proud OF
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson 1
do not think that Taft will carry Is
states in the election in November.
'-KnocEing Down the BOsseS.7
W nile We are knocking the bosses
down over the country, giving them the
black eye, why not do il here The time
is ripe. This is the highest taxed city
in Texas 1 know it 1 have been col
lecting statistics on that It shows shat
we need change here 1 ask you not
only to vote for those men who stand
for the right principles, but to throw |
off your coat and work, work hard IN
til election day. Continue to fight the
losses here-eXcuse me, Kelly might !
not like that mean the boss and the
ring"
Lots Of Original Wilson Men.
E T Moore, jr.. was then introduced. J
i thought was the original Woodrow
Wilson man, but / see that the woods !
are full of them tonight However on 1
the list that Mr.. BOwden referred to, |
you will find my name among the /
early signers. J. NJ. GOggin was elected I
president Of the Wilson club.
I see that the streamer of the ring /
across the street has the name of VIII /
son on it That is the policy of the i
ring in trying to uSurp the credit Of 4
the ants. They have done this in sew /
eral instances. Taken over the man
that the ants had selected. Wilson was 4
not the candidate of the ring, but the 4
placing Of his name on their banner is 1
Just an example OF the series of vic /
tories that they have tried to take away i
from the ants. The ring had to erase /
the name of Harmon, and if it keeps up /
its policy in this respect, it will have |
to erase lot Of names by July q.
I have never participated in public
politics in the county, but 1 am going
TO register a vote against the ring
v hich every one knows is a disgrace to
every respectable man.
I'VE are here tonight to celebrate a
national event, the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson, and it brings about a
condition that every. good citizen has
,ause for much rejoicing"
He referred to the conventions at /
Chicago and Baltimore as being IN |
;Sual events in that both gave evidence (
II what he called an awakening of the !
'eople from lethargy to the significance /
u political machine and its work. He
aid that the perfunctOry program at !
chicago was all arranged and was a
ample of political corruption not only
n san Francisco, but in St Louis and
san Antonio.
He said that in Chicago Roosevelt
to be an immOvable object !
n the way of the steam roller but it
managed to grind him down Whether
Teddys" failure was due to his being
with the third term idea,
II those In power were too strongly
ntrenched for him, he did not know. !
The straw man was Unloaded. But the !
eOple have awakened" the speaker |
sserted, and what were the causes
7ading up to that" the speaker said he
Ould not tell THE sDfrft of the DeODle
ad been aroused and with that had
ONE the vital blow to the old party
-hich was struggling to, its political
cath in November
People Controlled at Baltimore
In contrasting the Chicago and Bal
more conventions, the speaker de-
Jared that at the latter the people |
-ere in control and they had repudi-
ted and purged themselves of Tam /
lany. The money interests and the |
csses it was stated lad possess sion Of
ne convention in Chicago As a result
the Baltimore convention the speak ]

cen rehabilitated. rechrfstened and had
Dme out as a political factor for a |
