"And IL we invaded Mexico these
same men would say, 'on to Panama.
but, my friends, the president not
only has had to deal with war to the
south of us but with war to the east
of us. My friends, have differed
from our president on some Of the
methods employed in this war but /

that this nation shall not become a
participant in the dreadful conflict. I"
Mr. Bryan spoke As minutes. All
day Thursday it was one demonstra-
ton after another.
When Permanent Chairman James
recountedthe dispomatic achievements
of the president in the negotiations
with Germany the convention launch
ed into an eighteen minute uproar of
marching, cheering and waving of
flags, in which William j. Bryan from
his seat in the press section joined.
There were calls for a speech from
Bryan but it was found that he had
slipped out while the demonstration
was going on.
When James recounted in implied
terms the presidents diplomatic sue
cess in the negotiations with Germany
the delegates wanted to hear it again.
"Repeat it, they demanded.
James repeated his statement and
the crowd rose up and broke loose
with cheers. Repeating the phrase
from his prepared speech, the sena-
tor said:
Woodrow Wilson without orphan
ing a single child, without widowing
a single American mother, without
firing a single gun, without the she'd
ding of a single drop of blood, wrung
from the most militant spirit that ever
brooded over a BATTLEFIELD an agree
ment to American demands and a
concession Of American rights. "
The band swung into "America"
and the "Star Spangled Banner. |"
Hats and flags went into the air.
Somebody cried: "Three cheers for
Wilson"
The crowd reared the answer.
The platform committees report
was not ready and this only necessi-
tated another session today.

Exprainina lngratitude.

Nshe general cry is against ingrati-
tude, but the complaint is misplaced;
1t should be against vanity; none but
direct villains are capable Of willful
ingratitude; but almost everybody is
capable OF thinking he hath done more
than another deserves, while the other
thinks he hath received less than he
deserves.-Pope.

Outside the hall meanwhile the
crush became so great that the police
fairly battled with the besieging
throngs. Several arrests were made.
Mr.. Bryan opened by expressing
his appreciation of the honor confer
red by the invitation to speak to the
convention. Every democratic con-
vention is a love-feast to me, )" he said.
PRAISES WILSON ADMINISTRA-
TION.
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 the
house at the same time. Our party
became responsible for national af-
fairs, and now we come after three
years of labor to make our plans for
the future and to submit to the Amer
lean people the claims of our party to
continued confidence.
"What differences of opinion may
exist or may have existed as to par
ticular measures or particular acts,
we are here to begin the fight of 1916,
united party in every state in the
union, ready for battle.
To-day those who stand for the
democratic party are able to go be-
fore this nation and not only give a
reason for the faith that is in them,
but give defense of the administra-
tons claims to the confidence of the
people.
'You may take all the administra-
tons from the beginning of our histo-
ry as republic to the beginning OF
the present one and you will not fine
as many laws written upon the stat
ute books, of great Importance to the
people, as you will find written in the
last three years by Woodrow Wilson
a democratic president. D."
Briefly, Mr.. Bryan then referred Il
the tariff revision, the federal reserve
law and the strengthening of the anti
trust laws.

OPPORTUNITY FOR PEACE.

can appeal to the people for their sup
port without fear and without blush.
| believe the American people, CRATE
full for what this administration has
done, grateful that we have peace in
this country while war stalks through
out the word, will not be unmindful
of the fact that it was a democratic
president, supported by a democratic
senate and house who has thus saved
the country the horrors of that war.
"My friends, believe that there is
now before this country an opportun-
ity such as no other country has ever
had since the beginning of time. |
believe that God, in his providence,
has reserved for the United States the
honor and the task of lifting the NOR
al code that governs individuals up to
the level of nations and making it
part of the code of all nations.
WAR BROUGHT BURDEN.
"While our president and our con-
gress were at work constructing this
splendid pyramid of performance, a
war came that threw upon this adj
miniStration such burdens as no pres
dent has had to bear within the last
fifty years. We inherited from re-
publican administration an insurrec-
ton in Mexico. This administration
has dealt with that situation and the
republican party dare not charge
verdict before the country on the
Mexican question.
eve have a few men interested in
ranches, and a few interested in
mines, who would use the blood of
American soldiers to guarantee prof
its and their investments in foreign
land. But that is not the sentiment
of the American people. The people
of this country stand back of Wood
row Wilson in his determination not
to intervene in the affairs of Mexico.

Wilson yielded to the demand of

crossed the line than the same men

Education Boards Should
Be In Sympathy With
Public Schools
By Mrs. ELLA FLACC YOUNG.
Former Superintendent ct Chi
cago Public Schools

THE greatest difficulty of a su-
perintendent of schools is to
get for the teachers the right
and freedom for the power of
thought. The members of educa-
tional boards are men who have not
come in close contact with the
teacher and do not understand their
point of view very often.
I have a theory, although I do
not suppose many others will share
it, that no person should be on the
board of education who did not send
his own children while they were Of
school age to the public schools.
Only the man who believes so in
the system Of public schools and no
one who because he has money puts
his children in a private school
should hold such office.
THEY CAN'T HAVE SYMPATHY
WITH THE AIMS OF THE PUBLIC
ecHooL UNLESS THEY ARE VI.
TALLY CONNECTED WITH IT.

All friends of this system should
vote for Referendum Measure No. 3,
in order that the true principle Of di-
rect legislation by legal voters may be
preserved.
1t is claimed by certain politicians
that many of our citizens are opposed
to the initiative and referendum, but
it is believed that most of this opposi-
ton, if it exists, arises from the fact
that under the existing law there is
opportunity for fraud, as was shown
in 1914.
Those citizens opposed to the sys-
tenn on the ground of fraud should
vote for Referendum Measure No. g.,
which will effectually prevent fraud
and carry out the true intent of the
constitution.
