said, after Is years of waiting, has
entered the White House and, fortu-

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, claims of our party to
continued confidence. Whatever diff

have existed as to particular meas

1916, united party in every state in
the union.
'Those who stand for the Demo-
cratic party today are able to go be-
fore this nation and, not only give
reason for faith that is in them, but
give defense of the administration
claims to confidence of the people.
You may take all the administrations
from the beginning of our history as
republic to the beginning of the pres

laws written upon the statute books
of great importance to the people as
you will find written in the last three
years by Woodrow Wilson, the Demo-
cratic president"

trust laws.
Mr.. Bryan praised the work of Pres

The people of this country stand back

ton not to intervene in the affairs of
Mexico.
On to Panama.
"Why, my friends, if President Will
son yielded to the demands of those
who have clamored for Intervention
IN Mexico, we would no sooner have
crossed the line than the same men
would tell him that the soldiers must
