Address by Dumping Flowers

Head.
LEFT HAND PRESIDENT
His Remarks Are Mostly an Attack on
Taft and the Republican
Party Of
Today.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
BALTIMORE, June 27.-"Mr. Chair
man and gentlemen OF the conven-
ton:
4 am deeply grateful to this great
convention of patriotic American dem
ocrats for the great honor you have
bestowed upon me in calling on me to
preside over your deliberations while
you select the next president OF this
great republic.
Il congratulate the democrats Of
the nation upon the fortunate auspices
under which we have assembled. Here
no charge of bribery hovers above
this hall, no cry of thief and robber
is hurled by one fellow democrat at
another No soldiers stand in waiting
to Keep us from each others threats.
Our deliberations here shall be for
the country's good not according to
each others views, believing, as do
that the nominees named by this con-
ventlon, will have the backing OF
every loyal democrat In the country.
The democratic party Is essentially a
party Of the people, because 1t is the
people. 1t has fought long, hard
battle, when it seemed that night
would never end and that day would
never dawn; but the battle in the in
terest of the rights of the people they
have continued to make until we see

publican party. divided, distracted and
torn apart, while democracy Is har-

There are two records that will be
presented to the American people in

For it, Should the Sixty Day
Option be Allowed

SURE TO BE SOLD

FORT MADISON, Ia. June 27.-
While the sixty-day option on the
street railway lines has not yet ex-
pired, there is little doubt but that
the line will be sold, as there are
several other parties here looking
over the properties and getting facts
concerning the business.
On June Sd the Western Securities
company OF Chicago, through Mr..
Walsh of Burlington, secured sixty
day option on the street railway and
the electric light plant, and also init
mated that they wanted to take over
the gas plant. They said that if they
took the plant over they thought they
would do it within thirty days, but
they wanted sixty-day option in or
der to safeguard against any uHfor-
seen difficulties. The thirty days is
nearly up and to date they have made
no move toward closing the DEAL
In the meantime, there have been
several other parties looking over
the property.
A gentleman by the name of Hyde.
keeping the identity of his corporation
in the background. has been In the
city looking over the gas plant and
had letter from the president Of the
gas company requesting that he be
given full particulars about the com.
pany's business. He also interviewed
Samuel Atlee concerning the electric
light plant and ascertaining the facts
concerning the option which was Sc
cured.
Not long ago, a representative OF
the Stone & Webster corporation in.
terviewed Mr. Morrison in regard to
the street railway lines, stating that
his company had intended purchasing
the lines but had not been ready ns
yet to negotiate the DEAL He had {
long talk with Mr.. Morrison and the
matter is being held in allegiance unit
the sixty-day option has expired.
There is but little doubt that thu
street railway will be taken up b,
some OF these companies. Still an
other corporation. backed by capl
tai of over one million dollars, ha
been in conference with Mr.. Morrison
and Mr.. Atlee. 1t is believed. although
to date it is merely superstition, tina
the purchase OF the Fort Madison
property will mean also an interurha'
line between here and Keokuk or Bul
lington.
