BRYAN DEFENDS THE
DEMOCRATIC RECORD
Nebraskan Outlines Work of Will

Laudatory Manner.
CLAIMS CREDIT FOR PEACE

Coliseum, St Louis, June lo.-Sena-
tor Thompson of Kansas moved

Jennings Bryan to address the demo-
cratic convention. 1t carried and the
Nebraskan Immediately was brought
to the platform.
Mr. Bryan was greeted with cheers
from the floor and galleries as he
advanced to the platform. Mr.. Bryan
spoke for forty-five minutes.
Mr.. Bryan opened by expressing
his appreciation OF the honor con-
ferred by the invitation to speak to
the convention. Every democratic
convention is love feast to me"
he said 1T gives me an opportunity

years"
Lauds Party Chiefs.
He paid his respects in compliment
airy manner to a number of demo-
cratic officers and leaders of the pres
ent convention.
Reviewing the struggles of the
democratic party, Mr.. Bryan said:
after sixteen years OF waiting our
party entered the White House and
fortunately we won the senate and
house at the same time. Our party
became responsible for national af
fairs, and now we come after these
years OF labor to make our plan for
the future, and to submit to the
American people the 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 united party in every state
of the union, ready for the battle.
"You may take all the administra-
tons since the beginning of our pros
perity as a republic to the beginning
OF tie present one and you will not
find as many laws written upon the
statute books of great importance to
the people as you will find in the last
three years by Woodrow Wilson,
democratic president"
Briefly Mr.. Bryan then referred to
the tariff revision, the federal reserve
law and the Strengthening of the anti
trust laws.

There is a picture which has at

power OF the Roman government and
back OF him were the lcgions OF
Rome Before Plate. helpless, un-
armed, stood the Apostle OF Love. For
His triumph they nailed him to the
tree and those who stood around
Knocked and jeered and said, He is
dead! But that. instead of being
the end. was only the beginning.
I'm few centuries the power OF
Caesar was gone and his legions for

ever, increased until hundreds, yes,
thousands of millions OF people, have
taken His name with reverence upon
their lips; millions have been ready
to die rather than surrender the faith
that He put into their hearts. He
has become the great factor of all
history, the glowing figure Of all

This grea piece OF legislation, the
greatest piece of constructive states
manship in generation, has not
only broken the hold OF Wall street
upon the business OF the nation, but
it has broken the grip of Wall street
upon the politics OF the United
States. For twenty years there has

one who, like myself, has felt their
power, must be pardoned if he re.
joices that we have had an admins
tration that has broken the power
and set the nation free.
Here were three great measures,
carrying out the promises OF demo-
cratic platform, and these three great
measures constitute record OF
achievement which the republican
party dare not attack,
The electorate before which this
republican party must now go is not

While our president and our con-

splendid pyramid OF performance a
war came that threw upon this admin
istration such burdens as no president
has had to bear within the last fifty
years. We inherited from a repub-
liczn administration revolution in
Mexico. This administration has
dealt with that situation and the re-
publican party dare not challenge a
verdict before the country on the
Mexican question.
