 WITH DEMOCRACY
Praises Wilson and His Admins.
 tration.in St. Louis Speech

of Bryan. Bryan.' showed the heads of entertainment what the convention was looking for. MT. James is an old-time Bryan follower, bu he thun- dered for order. The guests of the convention, he said, must not abuse their privileges. The cheery crowd ap- plauded this rebuke and a resolution l at once was offered by Senator 1 Thompson Of Kansas to suspend the rates and hear MT Bryan. The mo- ton was carried, though not without scattering "noes.'
 committee headed by Senator Kern of Indiana escorted MT. Bryan 1 to the speakers place, while the 1 floor and galleries roared their ap- proval.
 Senator James introduced MT. Bryan as tone of the leading citizens i of the world and Americas greatest democrat
 MT. Bryan set no limit to his ad- miration of the president nor to the partys claim for continuance in pow | CT. He said he had had differences of l opinion with President Wilson, but, raising his head and his voice, while l the packed Coliseum gave a mighty shout of joy and relief he said:
 T join the people in thanking God
 
 not want the nation to fight" Manifestly there had been uneasi- ness lest Mr. Bryan should limit his l indorsement to domestic matters, if ! he did not actually assail the presi- ! dent to justify his own resignation as l Secretary of State, but he did nothing of the sort He surprised his hear CTS, many of whom rem embered his warlike raids on party harmony in the past by saying that all democratic conventions were love feasts to him. But as he proceeded it was evident that he meant the description to ap- ply truly to this convention. He was truly back with the party that had nominated him three times for the presidency, and in his closing sen- tence he asked that the nomination this time be given to, President Will son.
 Referring to his hope for the res toration of peace, he said:
 "As a democrat I want my party to have the honor of bringing the peace about and I want the country to give Woodrow Wilson a chance to bring it about'
 "A Sincere Speech.
 It has been a long time since Mr. Bryan had his party leaders so solid ly with him. Murmurs ran through the delegation that MT. Bryan was making the greatest convention speech of his life. Tn a sense this was true, though not as to oratory. Mr. Bryan's friends have said that be caused Woodrow Wilson's nomina- tion four years ago, but his enemies said that he couldn't prevent it. Last night, however, there was no doubt that Mr Bryan had put his personal political ambition away from him. He set at rest the one possibility of demo- cratic dissension here and, praising MT. Wilson's domestic and foreign policies and his courage against the interests of those who want war. he urged united democracy to rally for the presidents reelection.
 MT. Bryan reerred to his long ser vice for the party and the long friend ships he had derived from the politi- cal wars he had waged. He praised Governor Glynn's speech and said he had met him years ago when he threw into the Bryan campaign the vigor of young man of promise that had been made good He praised Sen ator James, and he did not fail to in clude in his friends and his old enemy Senator Stone of Missouri, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions here, who has been working to avoid a too warlike denunciation of hyphenated citizens in the democratic platform
 For MT. Bryan in making peace with his own party, was also making a peace speech to the country on foreign affairs. The one point he stressed in his reference to the Eu- ropean difficulties was that President Wilson had kept the country, out of war. That was his point of praise too regarding the presidents hand ling of the Mexican situation. His view was that intervention would lead to annexation and his praise was that the president had prevented that.
 Eulogizes the President.
 Reviewing the struggles of the democratic party, MT Bryan said
 After sixteen years of waiting, our party entered the White House, and fortunately we won the senate and the house at the same time. Our party became responsible for nation al affairs, and now we come, after three year of labor to make our plans fer the future and to submit to the American people tho claims of our party to continued confidence.
 "Whatever differences of opinion may exist, or may have existed, as to particular measures or particular acts, we are here to begin the fight of 1916, 8 united party in every state in the Union, ready for battle.
 Today those who stand for the democratic party are able to go be- fore this nation and not only give reason for the faith that is in them, but give 0 defense of the adninistra- tion's claims to the confidence Of the people.
