Touches Roosevelt

''Theodore Roosevelt, then President of the United States" he said, Twas reputed to be a man of courage and patriotism, but 1t was resolved that an exhibition of their power should be given him, cou- pied with the impudent demand that they should receive executive sanction of their plan to crown their career of lawless- ness by the commission of another un- lawful act, more reprehensible than any yet committed, which would give them the coveted prize and make their monopoly complete. The demand was carefully timed. A run was being made on great financial institution in New York, and panic, nation wide, freely predicted.
 "1t was then that these two modern Nicholas Biddes came before the Presi- dent of the United States, pointed out to him the danger of a panic. and the wide spread ruin and distress which would follow, and informed him of that which he already knew.-the power of the lt- tie band they represented, to make pam ics, or to stop them.
 And that President of the United States, the representative of more than 9O,000, 900 people. recognizing this mighty power which had come to this handful of men as the inevitable result of the special privilege legislation of his party convinced that to attempt to thwart their will meant ruin and distress to millions SuTTeHutTtu tO liciI idWitHo pciiidhu5 dHd granted to them the concession to still further plender patient and long suf- fering people.
 "Oh, that there had been an Andrew Jackson in the presidential chair in that year 1908, backed up by the same fear less and patriotic citizenship which ral- lied to his support in 1892.
 "Oh, that we might have in 1912 8 re- ba ptism of patriotic fire which would fill the hearts of American voters with firm resolves that the domination of financial pirates should cease, that the majesty of the law should once more be asserted. that lawbreakers of high degree as well as of low degree should bow to the will of the people as expressed in their laws, to the end that legitimate and lawful business may prosper that the days or tribute exactions shall cease, and that every dollar earned by every American, whether in the field, in the shop, in the mine, in the store. the bank, the factory or the market place, shall be the eXclu- sive property of the man who earned H. subject only to the just and necessary demands of government economically administered"

they will prove to be our friends at the ballot box.
 There is no reason why we should nor make as superb a record at this regular session as we made Ut the extraordinary session. In that faith we have entered upon our arduous, important and multi farious duties to the end and In the ex- pectation that if we present a united front during this session and go on re- deeming our promises as we aid at the extraordinary session, democrats every Where will present a united front in the campaign and on eletcion day and there by win sweeping victory in the cause of good government.
 Rome was not built in a day, and it is impossible in the very nature of things to enact into law in a few days, a few weeks or even in a few months all the reforms for which we declared in the Denver platform. Some timorous persons fear we have trayeled too fast; some m- patient ones assert that We are too slow. Judging, however, by expressions of in- dividuals and of the public press, it may be reasonably concluded that we not only receive, but what is far better, that we deserve the appreciation of nearly all democrats and independents, as well as the indorseUent of many patriotic re- publieans.
 The results of the November elections demonstrate conclusively that the repub- lican campaign canard which has been overworled many times to the effect that democratic supremacy breeds panics has been exploded forever for the places where national issues alone were con sidered were the very places where demo- erats did the best. This was notably the case in Massachusetts and in Joe Tag sart's congressional district In Kansas and In Dan V. Stephens district in Ne Draska.

Baltimore Favored

Just before the committee went into ses- sion there appeared to be an unanimity of opinion among the members that the city to be awarded the convention must come forward with a definite offer of $100, GOO
 Baltimore, II was said, was the only city at this time to have made such a definite proposition, but the adherents of that city had not succeeded in obtain ing pledges from a majority of the com mitteemen.
 Many of the members were hoping St.. Louis would meet Baltimore's offer in which event 1t was freely predicted that the western city would carry off the prize.
 There was some opposition to St. Louis, however, on the ground that both former Governor Folk and Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri were presidential aspirants
 New York's chances for the convention suffered from feeling among the demo- crats that the city was "too near the world of speculation and too close to Tammany hall"
 Speaker Champ Clark on his way to the capitol stopped at the hotel where the committee is meeting and paid his re- spects to many old friends.
 Some doubt existed as to just what dis position the committee would make of the question of convention arrangements. The whole matter may be turned over again and left in the hands of Chairman Mack or it may be left entirely to @ sub-cofn- mttee which it is said would be headed by Roger Sullivan of Illinois. T. Taggert of Indiana would be a member if such 8 subcommittee was agreed.

Another Attack

'Now, as to the significance of the in- cident. In 1908, another great money pow
 CT had arisen in the land, beside which that of Jackson's time was the merest pigmy. It had come to pass that less than 30,000 men had, under the republi-
 can regime of special privilege absorbed
 more than half the wealth of the ma ton; that a group of men in the east,
 less than 100 in number, had through gi- gantic criminal trusts. organized and con-
 trolled by them, seized upon the markets
 of the country. and acquired such power
 that they absolutely dominated the fi-
 nancal, commercial and industrial affairs of the nation.
 Having furnished the money to buy the election of Mckinley In 1896, and thus
 preserve the national honor, they were granted these concessions to violate the law to the end that they might recoup
 their prlncely contributions from the peo-
 pie whose honor they had saved.'l Senator Kern then sketched the nego- tiations that led to the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the United states Steel corporation He referred to the call of certain officials at the White House.

Jackson Day banquet here tonight He appeared in place of Governor Marshall, who was unable to be present because of pressing business.
 .'The original subject assigned mo was Indiana Democracy " said the senator, but when the suggestion was made at a late hour that l should speak on Jack sonian Democracy, ] made no objection, because tie two subjects were so eX' actly synonymous.
 ''The incident of the futile attempt of Nicholas Riddle to coerce General Jack son into an abandonment of his attack upon the United States bank, has been related many time in recent years upon occasions of this kind, but in view of present conditions, and recent events, that incident has now peculiar signifi- cance."
 Senator Kern then recounted the story of Biddle's demand that Jackson's oppo- sition should cease.
 General Jackson Riddle said" the senator quoted, I've have the power to make and unmake presidents, and gover- nors and congressman. We have the pow CT to make prosperity or bring ruin to the people,
 "'If that be true,' said the old general, speaking with unchirstian emphasis, the fire flashing from his steel gray eye. If that be true. then you have damned sight more power than ought to belong to any set of men in a free country and I shall appeal to the people to strip you of that power
 And Jackson appealed to the people and right nobly did they respond. Free dom did ring then from every mountain side and regardless of threats of panic and disaster, the people rallied about Jackson and reelected him to the pres- dency by a we'll nigh unanimous vote. There followed financial revulson and distress was visited upon the people. but they gladly paid the price, for in that day men were willing to endure financial dis tress to the end that free institutions might not nerish from fhe earth

Ovation to Bryan

It was afternoon when the body was called to order. William J. Bryan, hold ing the Nebraska proxy, reached the committee room at 12:30 o'clock and was greeted with applause. Each time he moved from one seat to another to greet d friend, the applause was renewed. No other member of the committee was given a demonstration.
 Although there are boomers in town for all of the avowed presidential candi- dates, the members of the committee seemed reticent in discussing the situa- ton.
 Oddly enough, there seemed to be consensus of opinion that the democrats might well afford to wait until after the republicans have made their nomination at Chicago.
 Chairman Mack apparently had the backing of all the old line democrats on the committee in making the ruling from which Mir. Bryan appealed Mir. Mack and MT. Bryan dined together last evening but 1t was apparent that Mr. Mack was determined Colonel Cuff fey and R. E. l..

Immediately after his arrival Governor Wilson set about preparing statement explaining the alleged letter he wrote to 4. II. Joline several days ago. suggest ing that scme method should be devised of getting rid of Bryan
 It was reported that Governor Wilson's s statement regarding the Joline letter would be to the effect that the letter had in no wise interfered with the friendship between the governor and the Nebras- kan. 1t was also rumored that MT. Bry- ar might join in this statement.
 Governor Wilson said he hoped to have a conference with MT. Bryan soon.
