can sound the key note for progress

republican to be temporary chairman
of our convention. We have many
democrats, who vote the ticket yet are
not in sympathy with our principles.

with either"
Here the Parker shouts started
again, but Bryan continued: 81 assume
that no friend of Judge Parker will
contend that he was entirely satisfied
with the candidate or platform in 1908.
This convention must take UP the chal-
lenge thrown down at Chicago by a
convention controlled by predatory
wealth, or it must submit to the same
control.
We need not believe that what is
done in national cony ention is done
secretly. We always act under the
eyes of representatives Of the press
who know why We do thing and who
told us to do it. We must not pre-
sumo that those at home can be de.
ceived. The people at home will know
that the influences that dominated
the Chicago convention are here, and
are more largely at work than they
were at Chicago. ! appealed to you
to SO act that the democrats of this
country can say that the democrats
are true to the people and that they
can't be frightened by you"
Another outburst.
This was the signal for 4 wild out
burst from both galleries and much OF
the audience.
If the candidate selected by the
committee were unknown, we would
Judge him by the influences back OF
him. We know who the candidate is
and We know the men who appointed
him. Eight years ago he was chosen
by the men no thought it would be
good politics.
THE country has not forgotten that
that convention has influenced by the
promise of large contributions from
Wall street 1t won't forget that after
Wall street alienated the party's sup
port. it threw the. party down.
They have not forgotten that 1t is
the same man who is backed by the
same interests that is being forced on
this convention to open progressive
with paralyzing speech. A
speech is not SO many words. 1t is
the man and not the words.
