Gov Thomas K. Marshall in accepting
the Democratic nomination for the vice
Presidency made a striking and eloquent
address. IN part, as follows
The historic Democratic party Of
America had lis inspiration and its aspi.
ration il the lite and conduct Of its great
founder. II is time now to have a per
feet concept OF that Democracy. for in re
cent years We have divided ourselves into
three classes and the classification has
been made not bv the heart throbs Of
men, but by their social condition.
We have those who are immeaSur-
ably rich and looking tor more. and We
have those VINO are unu,terably Door and
who are growing poorer
Between these extremes, we have
great middle class. living Well and reason

into the hr~tClas~ or sink into the third.

awaken many men TO their sense Of duty.
SOME STRIKING SENTENCES.
Democrats. ike poets. are born. not
made. They are born with the fixed and
uualterabje belief that God made all
men, not some men; that all men are en-

public are null, not half brothers.
All those who insist that il is not the
business Of government to equalize the
cost OF production at home and abroad to
the manufacturer until it equalizcs the

consumer at home and abroad. who be

urge all those who are opposed to

AT Baltimore it proved its right to be

a people.

its inability TO keep its temper.

Democrats believe in making money.

They hold that it is no part of govern

equally in muscle or brain or will or en-
