has been called into emphatic promi-
nence by the world wide war the
speaker declared that we have en-
tered this hall as democrats; we shall
deliberate as Americans"
The policy of neutrality, he argued, is
as truly American as the American
flag. For two hundred years neutral
ty was a theory; America made it a
fact. 1T took Washington and his sue
cessors eighty years of endless negotia-
ton to win recognition of American
neutrality. And this eighty years of
struggle woVe the doctrine of neutral
ity so closely into the warp and wool
of our rational life that to tear it cut
now would unravel the very threads OF
our existence" BY the records of his
tory Mr. Glynn maintained that if
Washington and Lincoln were right.
President Wilson is right. The neu
trality that President Wilson stands
for today was advocated by Washing
ton, by Hamilton, by jefferson and by
Lincoln. e.4
BY citing precedents Mr.. Glynn JUS
titled and defended the course of the
president in the Lusitania and similar
incidents. In 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
tile pleasure of criticising a democratic
/ president, are they willing to read out
I Of the republican party the greatest
men the republican party ever had?
Are they willing to say that the repub-
lcan party of today condemns what
Hamilton did in revolutionary days.
! what Lincoln did in Civil War days and
what Grant and Blaine and Harrison
I did but yesterday.
! I'm his policy of peaceful negotia-

States follows the example set him by
the greatest presidents which the dem
ocratic party and the greatest presi-
dents 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
radical strain in America, to send forth
a message to all the world and that
leave no room for doubt.
He pointed out that the promise made
| four years ago that a democratic ad-
o., mnistration would liberate the nation
from the chains of Industrial tyranny
has been carried out. He eulogized
the Federal Reserve Act and declared
that the Scholar statesman, whose rod
has struck the golden rock of America &
resources, to set free the wealth i'm
! prisoned for half a century, Is a Moses
who has led Americas industries from
the wilderness of doubt and despair to
the Promised Land OF prosperity and
| hope"
The laws restraining big business
from sitting competition, the trades
commission act, the movement to fos-
ter expansion of American trade, the
close union of economic, commercial
and financial interests between the
United States and the nations of South
! America are shown to be legislation of
the widest benefit. The Underwood
tariff. Mr. Glynn characterized as the
fairest and the best Of all we have
enacted. Under the present admins
tration the United States has enjoyed
wonderful era of good business and
good times.
