the democratic party and the greatest
presidents the republican party ever
Z gave this nation"
y Mr.. Glynn impressed on his hearers
A that il was the business Of this con-
i vention, representing every section OF
the United States. speaking for every
4 racial strain in America, to send forth
\ a message to all the world that will
4 leave no room for doubt.
I'VE must enable every real Amer
lean to stand up and assert his Amer
X icanism. We must make the issue so
X clear that every ballot box in the land
\ may become monument to the 10y
/ atty OF American manhood.
Stand Behind President.
THE citizens of this country must
4 stand behind their president because
\ his policies are right. They will
stand behind him because his poll
cies are the policies which have
\ brought the nation century OF
h prosperous and honored peace. They
! will stand behind him because they
want these policies continued, that
prosperity prolonged, that peace as
sured."
He pointed out that the promise
made four years ago that a democratic
administration would liberate the ma
ton from the chains of industrial
tyranny has been carried out. He eulo-
gized the federal reserve act and de-
clared that the "Scholar-state sman,
whose rod has struck the golden rock
Of Americas resources, to set free
the wealth imprisoned for half cen
fury, is Moses who has led Amer
ica's industries from the wilderness
Of doubt and despair to the Prom
Used Land Of Prosperity and Hope"
The Americans ideals and his aspi-
rations served as the basis for the
speakers opening discussion.
we who stand today on the fertile
soil of America, who live under the
smiling skies OF free and fruitful
land, must prove worthy of the trust
that American sacrifice has imposed
on every American"
Peace Policy Praised.
In asking for an endorsement of
the presidents peace policy Mr..
Glynn said: .-.
For two years the world has been
afre; the civilization that we know
has been torn by the mightiest strus-
gle in its history. Sparks from Eu-
ropes conAagration have blazed in
our own skies, echoes OF its strife
have sounded at our very doors. That
fire still burns, that struggle still con-
tinues, but thus far the United States
has held the fame at bay; thus far
it has saved its people from participa-
ton in the conflict. Az.
what the people OF the United
States must determine through their
suffrage Is whether. the course the
country has pursued through this cru
cial period is to be continued;
whether the principles that have been
asserted as our national policy shall
| be endorsed or withdrawn.
This is the paramount issue. No
lesser issue must cloud il, no un-
related problems must confuse it."
In answer to those who say that
President Wilson's policy does not
satisfy anyone, Mr.. Glynn replies
He means that It does not satisfy
those who would map out new and
untried course for this nation to pur-
sue, but they forget it does satisfy
| those who believe the United States
1 should live up to the principles il
4 has protested for century and
\ more"
\ Preparedness is Necessary.
\ In his treatment OF the issue of pre-,
\ paredness Mr.. Glynn asserts that the
h genius Of this country is for peace.
h I'VE have built our greatness OF
the resources Of nature and the peace
X full toll of our people. The ring o.
the anvil, not the rattle OF the saber
the song of the reaper, not the Shrek
Of the soldier, the clatter OF the shut,
tie, not the crack OF the rifle hav,
won US the place we occupy in tn,
councils OF the world
About Promises OF Platform.
In his review OF our domestic polio,
the temporary chairman pointed tha
the promise made by democracy foul
years ago had been faithfully kept,
Today the prosperity which III,

democracy has kept the faith. Toda,

hosts of special privilege stand dis

the full expression Of the nations pro

artisan and the farmer find themselve
free to enjoy the fruits OF their labors
unhampered by the sinister power o

OF the Federal Reserve act MI
Giynn had this to say:
"ln the panic of 1907, under tn
old system, New York could not len
. country bank $4,000 with whicI
to meet factory payrolls; in 1915 un
der the new system, inaugurated b.
this democratic administration. Ne,
York loaned Europe $s00000,0 900 eve
though the financial centers OF tn
world were disrupted by the worl
war, and there were still left in Ne,
York the largest bank deposits in it
history.
