silence on that important question
was significantly consistent. This
is stranger still when we remem Der
that that subject was the only one
on earth or in heaven above that he
did not attempt to regulate or
change. He tried to change the in
scriptions of our coins by striking
out the words "In God we trust" he
wanted to change our spelling, regu-
late the size of our families, and
ties of war, and failed in all his ef-
forts along these lines.
But while the wooden trust, cotton
trust, steel trust, agricultural imple-
men trust, lumber trust, the sugar
trust and the rest of the benefciaries
of an unholy and wicked tariff sys-
tenn were plundering, and growing
so strong as to endanger free govern
ment, he avoided the tariff question
as he would a pestilence. His sue
cessor made few feeble efforts to
do something with the question and
failed miserably, so miserably that
the lamented Dolliver said on the
floor of the senate, that the two
great fakes of 1909 were the Payne
Aldrich tariff law and DR.. Cook, and
both of them were officially sponsor
ed by President Taft
Taft's Patronage Order.
In passing let me call your at
ntion to the order entered by Pres
ident Taft denying patronage to the
so-called insurgent senators and rep
resentatives. The full infamy of
this order is understood when We
remember that it covered federal
judges, United States district attor-
neys, marshals, collectors and post
masters. There is nothing like it in
history since the similar order made
by George III of England at the in
stigation of the incompetent and
tyrannical marquis of Butte. That
order set the English on fire in pro-
test. President Taft afterward
graciously rescinded the order to
bride the insurgents, and a few Of
them compromised while few whs-
pered they would meier consent but
consented" An insurgent republic
can is a democrat who is afraid Of
the cars and is not city broke. The
republican party has not as yet stood
afar OF in front of the temple and
publicly repented for the campaigns
of 1896 and 1900, and until it does
it cannot hope for forgiveness. 1t
will take us fifty years of sack cloth
and ashes to forget and be forgiven
for the wholesale corruption now
known as Mark Hannaism. Until
1896 We we're practically free from
political corruption. We read of and
abhorred the crimes of corruption in
political affairs that Walpole prac-
ticed and by which he maintained
himself in Office but in 1896 and
1900, we were face to face with the
same policy and the shame of it was
we permitted it without revolution.
At this point and at this ime, can
not forbeare giving my tribute to the
man. who suffered most by the whole
sale political corruption of those two
campaigns. The strongest moral
force in American public life today
is the high private of Nebraska, the
man who from ten thousand plat
forms and pulpits has for sixteen
years so bravely and nobly preached
| the lessons Of civic righteousness and
patriotic devotion to high moral and
political ideals, the man of ideal life,
the patriot before the partisan, the
loyal democrat who loves his coun-

Mr.. Chairman Ladies and Gentle

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1t occurs to me that it is ap-
prcpriate at this time to turn to a
new made grave in Iowa and draw
inspiration from the heroic and patri-
otto dust of Gen. James B. Weaver.
For many years we had his presence
and counsel, and the people of Iowa
will not forget his chivelrous per-
sonality, unselfish patriotism and the
courage that gave voice to hatred of
any unjust laws, special privileges
to the classes, and also gave voice
the toiling millions and his un-
swerving devotion to free and con-
stitutional government. The demo-
Gratis of lowe cherish his memory
and mourn his death.
congrc tulate the gathered hosts
of undauntcd Iowa democracy upon
this splendid convention and urge
you to keep alive the patriotic fervor
that means victory and success.
Evil days have come upon our
country. The times demand patriot
ism of the best and highest kind.
The broken and disordered lines of
the republican party in 1912 excite
not only contempt but sympathy.
The rank and file of that broken
army rebel against the present ad-
ministration with it's faults, failures
and pitiable weakness, and in mad
ness threaten to follow false god,
a dangerous experiment and still
more dangerous leader. From the
evils of Taft and his surrender to
81 ~ INV $0
welt for third term and pros
pective era of sham progressiveness,
of centralized government, of mob
rule, and the destruction of the rule
against a third term, the rule in
augurated by Washington, hallowed
by Jackson and so periodically main
tanned when General Grant went to
defeat in 1880. 1t shocks public
sentiment to think that the party of
Lincoln, of Grant, of Garfield and
Mckinley is able to ind but one man
in it's ranks worthy and able to be
president. We cannot blame them
for wanting to get rid of Taft, but
we pity them in having only Roose-
welt left.
No One Man Necessary.
The shame of it is, that any num-
Der of men in a free country should
think for moment that any one
man is necessary for our safety, and
to think that even Roosevelt himself
should so think is a reproach to the
spirit of free institutions among men
and a disgrace to the party that in
despair turns.to him as the last hope.
On April q of this year at Worces-
ter, Mass, Mr.. Roosevelt made pub
lie letter received by him from
President Taft just after March,
1909. It was in part as follows:

ACCUSES
INSPECTOR CARLSON

sensation was created in the ciimi :,
nal division OF the city court yesterday V
morning when Harry Lawrence charged
| in four complaints with burglary In the
second degree, repudiated q confession
said TO have been made TO the police, de-
claring that such admissions as he did
make were wrung from him by abuse
at the hands OF Inspector Carl A. Carl
son. Lawrence said that after lie had
suffered beating from the inspector and
another officer in the jail office on the
night OF September 10. lie finally called
for Chief Grant, to whom he said he
made certain admissions, 10 protect
himself from the prosecutions OF Carlson
Inspector Carlson emphaticalIy denied
yesterday that he had ever laid hand
on Lawrence or done anything TO force
him TO confess, other than to speak TO
hin IN stern and commanding manner.
Evidence was introduced to show that
considerable Of the stolen goods had been
recovered from pawnshops. through In
formation said to have been furnished
Grant, and the defendant was bound
over by Judge j. NJ Bowman u await
the action OF the district court on
charge Of having burglarized the room of
ments. on September Il. Preliminary
hearing on the other three charges was
waived
II am the chief when the chief is not
here and YOU know that and had better
come through you will never get out
OF this room" Lawrence declared the in
spector to have said
Inspector Carlson admits telling the
prisoner that he had better come
through" hut said that he offered as
the reason that the police had sufficient
evidence against Lawrence to convict
nim and that TO hold out would be but
fooIishness.
"He was sore because he could not
extract a promise from me that II he
would confess l would see that he would
get but light sentence in the city Jail"
said the inspector Il was In no posi-
ton 10 give such promise, other than
would naturally come to him through
pleading guilty rather than fighting the
cases against him, and because 7 STAYED
within my authority he lied about me In
court TO get even"
There is no truth in what Lawrence
said In court this morning" said Chief
Grant last night ''Ie denied giving me
the list. but we recovered the property
from the information in the list which
he gave me and the property was iden-
tned, which ought to be conclusive"
Lawrence was sent to The county Jail
in default of $1,000 bail
