.lEMOCRATs AATE


ity-are the issues upon which the
Democratic party stands, and the
heart Of democracy sveIlB with pride
that is more than . pride of marty,
as 1t halls the man, who has asserted
this Amerieanism, assured this peace,
advocated this preparedness and pro
duced this prosperity, he predicted
the reelection OF President Wilson.
Taking up our foreign relations
that has been called into emphatic
prominence by the worldwide war the
speaker declared that 1--WE have enter
ed this hall as Democrats; we shall
deliberate as Americans" Z = =
The policy of neutrality, he argued
is ais truly American as the American
flag. For two hundred years neutral
ity was a theory; America made 1t a
fact. 1T took Washington and his
successful eight years of endless nego-
tiations to win recognition of Amer
lean neutrality. And this eighty years
of struggle wove the doctrine of neu-
trality SO closely into the warp and
wool of our national life that to tear
it out now would unrayel the very
threads of our existence BY the
records Of history Mr. Glynn main
tanned that If Washington and Lin
coin were right. President Wilson Is
right. The neutrality that President
Wilson stands for today was advocat-
ed by Washington, by Hamilton, by.
Jefferson and by Lincoln.
JustIfes Lusltania Attitude
BY citing %precedents, MI. Glynn
justified and defended the course of
the president In the Lusitania and
similar incidents. TN 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 Repub-
lican party the greatest men the Re-
publican party ever had? Are they
willing to say that the Republican
party of today condemns what Ham
iIton did in revolutionary days, what
Lincoln did in Civil war days, and
what Grant and Blaine and Harrison
did but yesterday?
I'm his policy of peaceful negotia.
tons today the president of the
United States follows the example
set him by the greatest presidents
which the Democratic party and the
greatest presidents the Republican
party ever gave this nation"
Mr.. Glynn impressed on his hearers
that It was the business of this con
vention representing every section of
the United States, speaking for every
racial strain in America. to send forth
message to all the world that will
no for doubt.
1--WE must enable every real Ameri-
can to stand up and assert bis
Americanism. We must make the is
sue so clear that every ballot box in
he land may become a monument to
he loyalty of American manhood.
Must Stand Behind Wilson
1.-THE citizens of this country must

behind him because they want these
