tern-these and many other bills were
put through the House only to be
vetoed by the President or pigeon
holed in the Senate.
'"The Democratic party cannot pay
too much homage to Champ Clark
and Oscar Underwood for the way
they kept the faith. They laid the
foundation stones in Washington in
those days, upon which was reared
the structure of Democratic success
in 1912.
IT have been accused of having
voted for Clark as my candidate for
the Presidency at Baltimore. 1 was
elected to do so and am not ashamed
of 1t. I have been accused of pre-
venting the convention from making
unanimous tho nomination of Wood
row Wilson. This is not sol The
minutes of the convention will show
that this is base falsehood. When
Woodrow Wilson was nominated for
Governor in 1910, no man worked
harder or more faithfully than L did
to restore New Jersey to it's right
full place in the Democratic column.
After Governor Wilson was nom
mated for the Presidency no man
worked harder than did ! to elect
him.
Always a Loyal Democrat.
THE time has come for plain
speaking, gentlemen, and believe in
talking facts. l was born a Demo-
orat I was nurtured In Democratic
home. / learned the principle of the
Democratic party as a boy. 1 have
never known anything else in politics
than to vote the Democratic ticket.
Can others say az much? Can the
man who is running on the Demo-
cratic ticket against me to guarantee
the election of a reactionary Republic
can Congressman say as much?
"The Democratic party, thank God,
is a party of free and untrammeled
thought, of free and untrammeled
speech. There are no chains in the
Democratic party; no letters in the
Democratic party. The Democratic
party accords every man the privilege
of living according to his own in
clination. The Democratic party
stands for freedom of thought. free
dom of speech, freedom of press, free
dom of the ballot, freedom of locomo-
ton and freedom of association. But
there is one thing the Democratic
party demands, and that is loyalty.
There is one thing the Democratic
party will not countenance, and that
is treachery.

Why? | voted for woodrow Wilson
because he was the candidate of the
Democratic party, and ] am q Demo-
crat. And tonight I stand before you
committed to the Democratic plat
form; committed to Democratic prin-
ciples. II you elect me 7 will work
for the success of every principle that
our party stands for.
1.-THE Republicans had been sowing
to the wind for sixteen years, and
they reaped the whirlwind in 1912.
The day of reckoning came. You
know 'standpatter' is a man who
a progressive is q man who has
started and cannot stop!
Democ-acy's Record.
Gentlemen, the Democratic party
has been making history during the
past nineteen months in Washington.
More remedial legislation has been
passed by Democratic House and q
Democratic Senate and signed by a
Democratic President than in all the
previous sixteen years of Republican
rule. The tariff has been revised
downward, in conformity with Demo
cratic :, principles. The Underwood
tariff law Is conceded to be the most
equitable tariff measure that has ever
been passed in this nationj q law that
1oosens the grip OF the plumber
bund,' who always have hidden be-
hind the recnnicalities of the tariff,
from which they have worked to
the detriment of the American peo-
Pile. The Underwood tariff law COM
pels the trusts to sell alb cheaply to
you as to people If foreign lands.
1.-THE currency and banking system
has been revised, and this measure
has met with the appreciation Of every
banker in the United States. The
Glass-Owen bill, which governs this
measure, has sounded the death knell
of the money trust. It has put an
end to nationwide financial panic. 1t
has stabilized commercial financial
and industrial conditions throughout
the nation. 1t has made 1t impossible
for a few high financiers ever again
to concentrate the money of this
country In Wall Street. 1t has estab-
lished for the first time in our his
tory an open discount market where
commercial bills and paper can be
discounted at low rates of interest. 1t
creates a system, under a Federal
Reserve Board of Control, which,
starting business with $53, 100000 of
capital. will within two years have
over $400,000.000 of reserves. and prob
ably $500 100000 Of government funds
distributed so as to serve conveniently
and sympathetically every section of
the country"
The speaker further gave the story
of q complete revision of the trust
laws made under President Wilson,
spoke about the Clayton antitrust
bill, the income tax, the opening of
Alaska for the benefit of the people,
and the driving out of Washington
of the insidious lobby.

eulogy of Mayor Haussling.
