The Prescott daily news., 1912-06-28

dyes of 3S to a Democratic majority of 69; Republican senatorial major ity of 26 dwindled to 9. It was not battle; it was 8 revolution--a revolu- ton in the pivotal states.
 It was gained in the very states which we must win if we elect a pres ident
 The man who made that issue re- tains the confidence of the people of those great pivotal states. His popu- | larity is confined to no section. In his campaign, he has remained quietly at his post of duty. He has not afforded the spectacle of a presidential candl- date clamorOusly parading the country with brass bands and red lights, so- liciting votes. He did not need to. He had made so many speeches for his party 1t was unnecessary to make any for himself.
 His campaign has been made by the peOple for him It has been conducted almost without money and without or. l ganization. Yet, you can march across this continent from the extreme east to the distant west. and from our | northern border to our southern line, end not set foot on territory that is not loyal to his cause.
 He counts in his column substantial ly all of the delegates of twenty-two sovereign states. His popularity has swept across the sea, and he wille be supported here cn every ballot by sub- stantially all of the delegates from the territorial and insular possessions.
 He carried his own state by a unani- nous vote. He carried every state touching it's borders. He carried the states touching borders with the home states of his distinguished opponents. He carried almost solidly that great domain known as the middle west, With two exceptions he swept all states west of the Rocky Mountains
 have said he carried these states: let me ra her say, the loyal Democ- racy, the Democracy that has never faltered, that has with unwavering al- legiance followed the flag. carried them for him
 What are the great issues upon which We must fight the battle of l912? Is it not upon the record made by tha Democratic House of Repre- sentatives? That record is a story Of achievement, of promises redeemed. and pledges kept; of patient, wise, brave statesmanship
 Over the deliberations of that body he has presided. He brought to the office the wisdom of experience, and a judgment ripened by long and close contact with the problems of govern ment.
 l would not detract a hairs weight from the hoaors due to all Democratic congressmen. I would not pluck a sin gle leaf from the brow of the present great majority leader give to all due need of praise. But yet I soy. here is the real leader Here is the man who most of all has borne tae burdens and responsibilities. whose counsel has guided. who pointed the way; whose keen intellect, superb courage, and masterly generalship have forged the force which has been driven like wedge through the body Of the Republican party and split it asunder.
 The army of tAe Democracy is form ing in battle array The sun of hope glorifies the horizon of the future. and sheds it's splendor upon our banners. Above US bends the nyriad-hued Dow of promise. We have been led to the very gates of success by veteran grown gray in the service. Let him continue to lead, and the celestial bow will become an arch of triumph, be- meath which Democracy will march in glorious victory.
 And so l nominate this man. who has fought thousand battles for Democracy and not one against her who has never lowered his flag or ask. ed for quarter; who has never desert ed nor taken Q furlough: who does not know how to quit a friend or betray q party; whose back the enemy has never seen, but whose breast is GOV. cred with the scars of many a hard campaign; who leads today nnd who should continue to lead-the Lion of Democracy, Champ Clark of Missouri
