means, and has already obtained con-
| cessions from powerful warning ma
tiOns far greater than any obtained
by his predecessors.
In internal affairs President Wilson
in pushing through the Federal Re-
serve act, which placed the finances
of the country on sound basis, ac-
complished a reform that alone en-
titles him to high place among the
great national leaders.
When the history of the troubled
times of world strife is fully written,
one name will stand out above all
others-Woodrow Wilson.
Speeches of national Importance
were made by permanent chairman
Ollie P. James, Vim. Jennings Bryan.
There was great enthusiasm through
out.
The convention changed it's pro-
gram and agreed to make nominations
on Thursday night instead of Friday,
and when the delegates went to the
convention that evening it was under
stood that they would remain until af-
ter the nominations were made. The
nomination of Woodrow Wilson for
President and Thomas R. Marshall,
candidate for Vice President, was
made by acclamation at day
light Friday morning. There was no
question about the nomination of Pres
ident Wilson but there was a possibil-
ity that some one might be brought
out to defeat Vice President Marshall.
All opposition melted away when it
was known that President Wilson de-
sired his nomination. John w. Wes-
colt of New Jersey, placed Woodrow
Wilson in nomination and Senator
Kern from Indiana made the nomi-
mating speech for Marshall.
The delegates met in final session
Friday. to complete the platform and
to outline the issues upon which the
great political battle will be fought
during the coming campaign.

opened the democratic national con-
vention. Declaring that American
ism and peace, preparedness and pros
perity-are the issues upon which the
democratic party stands, and the heart
of democracy swells with pride that
is more than pride of party, as it
halls the man, who has asserted this
Americanism, assured this peace, ad-
vocated this preparedness and pro-
duced this prosperity" he predicted
the reelection of President Wilson.
Taking up our foreign relations that
have been called into emphatic prom
inence by the worldwide war the
speaker declared that "We have en-
tered this hall as Democrats; we shall
deliberate as Americans"
The policy of neutrality, he argued,
is as truly American as the American
flag. For 200 years neutrality was
a theory; America made it a fact. "It
| took Washington and his successors
eighty years of endless negotiation to
win recognition of American neutral
ity. And this eighty years of struggle
wove the doctrine of neutrality so
closely into the warp and woof of our
national life that to tear it out now
would unraveT the very threads of our
existence"
By the records of history Mr.. GIynn
maintained that if Washington and
Lincoln were right, President Wilson
is right. The neutrality that President
Wilson stands for today was advo-
Gated by Washington, by Hamilton, by
Jefferson and by Lincoln.
Defends Wilson'S Acts
BY citing precedents Mr.. Glynn just
flied and defended the course of the
! president in the Lusitania and sim
liar incidents. "In the face of this
record he asked: do Republicans
realize that when they arraign the
policy of the president of the United
| States today they arraign the policy
of Harrison. of Blaine. of Lincoln and
of Grant? For the pleasure of criti-
cising a Democratic president, are
they willing TO read out of the Re
publican party the greatest men the
Republican party ever had? Are they
willing to say that the Republican
party of today condemns what Hamil-
ton did in revolutionary days, what
! Grant and Blaine and Harrison did but
yesterday.
Some of the "Hits" of the Speech
America gave to the world the pol
icy of true neutrality between nations
1t is the policy that was inaugurated
by Washington and followed by his
successors. President Wilson fol
lowed it both in letter and spirit
Therefore, it is not the Woodrow
Wilson policy of neutrality that is al
issue in this campaign, but the tradi-
tional American policy Of neutrality.
When the rights of America were
violated on the high seas Washington
did not go TO war. He used the peace
full means of diplomacy. Lincoln and
his immediate successors used the
same means. Grant pursued the same
court whea American citizens were
shot by Spain.

A. R. BRENNAN
CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR

Mr.. brennan, who has been a candidate
for the Republican nomination for County
Auditor Tor several months, is making an
active campaign and will no doubt prove
very formidable candidate.
He was born in Pawnee, Illinois in
1881, and is the son Of DR.. D. A. Dren-
nan who practiced medicine in that va
cinity for many years. In 1902 he was
united in marriage with Miss Marian AL
yn, daughter Of Nelson [. Allyn, and
has one son twelve years Of age.
For the past seventeen years he has
been employed in CLERICAL capacities, the
last six Of which has been as a deputy
County Clerk. This experience has famili-
arized him with the operation Of the diff
ferent County offices and he is well quail
ified to fill the position Of Auditor,
efficiently.
Mr.. brennan has always been affiliated
with the Republican families in the Coun
ty. His great grandfather was one Of the
first County Commissioners and helped
locate Springfield as the County seat Of
Saneamon County. No member Of his fam
lily has asked for or held a county office
since.
Mr.. brennan and family are members
Of the First Methodist church, and frater
aally, he belongs to the Masonic Order
and Springfield Lodge Of Elks.
