The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-06-25

T can contrast both candidates without impeaching MT. Parker. character or good intent" continued Bryan. Not every man of good in tention sounds the keynote for 2 progressive campaign. We could in. vite a Republican to be tenlporar, chairman of our convention. W. have many Democrats who vote thu ticket yet are, not in sympathy witt orf principles.
 1T spoke for the candidate an6 platform in 1904 although not satis fled with either"
 Here the Parker shouts started again but Bryan continued:
 q assume. that no friend of Judgt tirely satisfied with the candidate ol platform in 1905. This. convention must take up the challenge throwr down or it must submit to the preda. tory control. We need not believe that what is done in a national con vention is done privately.
 We always act under the eyes o1 the press who know why we do 2 thing and who told us to do it. w. must not presume that those at home can he deceived. The people. at hom, will know that the fnnuencey tha' dominated the Chicago convention art here and arc more largely at worl than they were at Chicago. Iyappea to you to 50 act that the Democrat of this country can say that the Dem ocrats are true to the people and tha they can't be frightened by Ryans ol boukht by Be1monts'

 They have H0f 90fESt k9Sh4t J isg the same man who fs b&cked ba the same Interests thak is being forced on this convention to open a progres sfve campaign with a, 1onk speech
 "A speech is not so1 many words It, Is the man and words. We have been passing through great progres. sive age. Tn .RusSfa slaves have se- cured q right to voice-sin the gov ernment. In Turkey the people now have influence in the molding of thei1 laws. China is now a republic. And while the outside world has been marching on in the direction of com plete freedom we. have kept step. In every state the great fight has been waged.
 "The man I present has been the leader of the progressive cause in his own state. challenge you to
 find in 16 years where the commit tee can indicate any deficiency. This is the situation we have to meet The Democratic party must have leader in this fight. I say that the Repub- licans at a later hour than we, have caught the spirit of the times and are willing to trust the people with their own government.
 Bryan's effort was drowned out time and again by the hostile shouts from both the galleries and the big Eastern delegations.
 We are now in sight of the prom ised land" he began again. but was forced to suspend under a chorus of wild jeers and hoots from the galler- ies. Delegates from the wisconsin seats were shouting Shame, and de- that Mack clear the gaIler- ies. At last Bryan could continue: "Pro- gressive democracy has been the pillar of fire to lead the people by night. Delegates, I pray that now the dawn has come, you do not rob the people of the right to have it as a cloud <,tn lead by day.
 Kern was then recognized by Chair man Mack. The Senator was plainly nervous, and as he stepped forward jeers and shouts went up
 7 T desire a. hearing here. desire to state my reasons for not desiring to enter this contest for temporary he said. 'sI believe that by 40 years of service to the party nave earned the right to hearing by Democratic convention. I bail from the State of Indiana which vii; shortly present a candidate for the in the Nersau of Coyefror I desire to take no part in the convention that will hurt MT. Marshalls interests. I have for many years been the personal friend of the man who has been named by the na- tiona: committee. We met long ago m Europe. We have kept our friend ship inviolate ever since. enlisted under his standard in St. Louis and went through that great battle in, his behalf. I took the standard of los ng cause in Indiana that year and be- came a candidate for Governor I went down to defeat but not an in glorious defeat. Last year, in the midst of a heated contest, Judge Par xer came to Indiana to aid me in my contest. We have been personal friends and are now.
 tI believe Judge Parker is as earn sstly desirous of Democratic success his year as I am. There are only title over 1000 delegates here but here are 7,o00000 Democrats between he oceans. They are all looking with aching hearts toward us. I am go- ng to appeal for that kind of har- nony that will alone bring victory,
