the keynote at the Democratic conven-
tion.

representing every section Of the
United States, speaking for every rae

message to all the world that will.

Reviewing President Wilson's con
duct of foreign affairs, he declared
the president had stood with Wash
ington, Adams, and Grant, who had
preserved peace with honor.
For vain glory or for selfish pur-
pose," Mr.. Glynn declared, ''others
may cry for a policy of blood and
iron; but the president has acted on
the belief that the leader of a nation
who plunges his people into an I'M
necessary war, like Pontius PLATE
vainly washes his hands of innocent
blood, while the earth quakes and the
heavens are darkened and thousands
give un the ghost.
IF Washington wal right. if JET
ferson was right, If Hamilton was
right. then the president is right to-
day" he declared.
Senator Reed of Missouri, Senator
Taggart of Indiana, and Senator Po-
merene of Ohio were appointed to
escort Mr.. Glynn to the chair.
Governor Glynn's declarations upon
Americanism and that 'the policy Of
the administration as to neutrality is
as American as the American flag
were given a prolonged demonstra-
ton.
When the demonstration had been
going on Is minutes, appeals were
made to the delegates to take their
seats and let the speaker go on. They
were answered by more noise. Final
ly, after sixteen minutes, quiet was
restored and Mr.. Glynn went on.
When Mr.. Glynn predicted the re-
election of President Wilson the del
egates in a mass cheered, waving
flags and whistling shrilly. Ex-Gov-
ern Glynn laughing, vainly tried to
quiet the delegates, but they were
determined to have it out. Mr.. Glynn
pounded his gavel. Soon the floor
was again a sea of flags. The New
Jersey delegation bearing its stan
chion, began the procession down the
front aisle. Stanchions of Illinois,
Maryland, Indiana and other states
soon followed. The crowd got en-
tirely ont Of hand, but the police pre-
vented a general procession by or
dering the delegates to their sec

When he had spoken one hour Mr..
Glynn was half way through his pre-
pared speech and he attempted to
pass on to other subjects, but the
delegates wanted more of the same
subject.

the crowd. "All right, I'll hit them
hard" Glynn answered. When he
told how many presidents didn't go
to war" and settled the business by
negotiations he was repeatedly cheer
ed. Mr.. Glynn proceeded to recite in
cidents in diplomatic history in which
war was avoided by Republican presi-
dents. AS Glynn recounted each in
stance, some delegate would shout:
What did the president do?"
"He settled our troubles by negotia-
lions, Just as the president is trying
to do now" Mr.. Glynn would reply.
