great and far-roaching eyil of their

the only channels of Information open
to so many honest and Well-mranlng
citizens. The most prominent repre-
scntatiyos of these papers IN New
York and Massachusetth supported
Mr Parker against me IN 1904. MI.
Parker was a Democrat, but ne was
entirely satisfactory 10 these masters
and for the time being they ardcnuy
did an they could tu overthrow lhe
Republican party and 10 elect
Democratic president, liut when !
began TO be seriously talked about
for the Republican nomination ms
year, these papers, one ana all turned
Republican 10 the extent Of being
nay furious opponents and the furious
champions of Mr.. Taft There Is an
element Of pure comedy In reading IN
these papers continual lamentations
about the likelihood Of my candidacy
breaking up the Republican parry.
They themselves did all they could
to beat the republican party when
they thought they could elect Mr.
Parker. Now these papers would
eagerly champion the Republican
party II they could keep Mr.
Taft as It's nominee for It's president.
In the past they have not concealed
their contempt for Mr.. Taft and
none of them regard him In any way
as a leader.
How They Line up.
"The difference between us and
our present day opponent is as old
as civilized history. In every great
crisis Of the kind we face today we
find arrayed on one side the men
who with fervor and broad sympathy
and lofty ldealism stand for the for
ward movement the men who stand
for the uplift and betterment of man
kind and who have faith in the peo-
pie; and over against them the men
Of restricted vision and contracted
sympathy whose souls are not stirred
by the wrongs of 9th rs Side by
side with the latter appear the other
men who lack all intensity of cOnNic-
tion who care only for the pleasure
Of the day; and also those other men
who distrust the people, who If dis
honest, wish to keep the people help
less so as to exploit them, and who
If honest, so disbelieve In the power
of the people 10 bring about whole
some reform that every appeal to
papular conscience and popular in
Justice fills them with an angry ter
ror. According to their own lights
these men are often very respectable
very worthy But they live on n
plane of low ideals In the atmos-
phcre they create imposters who
flourish, and leadership comes to be
thought Of only as success in making
money and the vision OF heaven be
comes sordid vision and all that Is
highest anl purest in human nature
is laughed at and honesty is bought
and sold in the market place.
"A period Of change is upon us.
our opponents, the men of reaction
ask us to stand stll. But We could
not stand still If we would; we must
either go forward or go backward
Never was the need more imperative
than now for men Of vision who are
a lso men Of action. Disaster Is ahead
Of us if we trust to the leadership OF
men whose souls are scared and
whose eyes are blinded, men Of cold
heart and narrow mind, who believe
we find can find safety, dun timidity
and duh inaction The unrest cannot
be quieted by ingenious trickery of
those who profess to advance by
merely marking time, or who seek to
drown the cry for Justice by the loud
and sincere clamor about issues that
are false and issues that are dead.
The trumpets sound the advance and
their appeal cannot be drowned by
repeating the war cries Of bygono
battlos, the victory shouts of vanished
hosts Here in this city Of the state
of Lincoln, | can set forth the prin
ciples for which we stand today in
the words which Lincoln used years
ago when in speaking Of the then
phase Of the eternal struggle between
privilege and justice, between the
rights of the many and the special
interest Of the few, he said.
