pect an election of the entire Democratic
state ticket next fall. He had seen
the same expression in many other
places.
It was Thomas Jefferson, he said,
who taught "equal rights to all and
special privileges to none.'' This had
always been vital principle of the
Democratic party. which the people
were coming more and more to see the
need OF, he declared. The party has
many reforms that are popular. and to
no man in the u. S. was due the
credit for keeping these subjects be-
fore the people as to William Bryan.

been honest and ecoacmical IN the ad-
Dinistration of public adfaius. The
people. he said. are SOW sulferaas from
the acts of Republican officials who
did not make good.
The Forum, said the speaker, had
been helping Democratic candidates by
its unfair attacks. He made reference
to the board of oentrol vataiuh was
originally introduced 50 as to have
members Of 2, and years, hut it
was tinkered up by a Republican legis-
lature SO as to permit Of every member
of the board being compelled to step
down and cut with the election of q
new governor. This put the board into
politics which he did mot think was
we'll for the people.
Mr.. Helistrom is in favor of the direct
election Of u. S. senators, he alaO the-
lievesin the initiative and referendum.
Take the law a. near the people saf
possible is his doctrine. The people
pay the bills and should have the MIGHT
to recall their servants.

it, and the people we're going to recall
