BACK WILSON.
DEM KEYNOTE

of the republican party the great
est man the repu blican PARTY ever
had?"
He declared the policy of Presi-
dent Wilson has been to put rea-
son and justice of negotiation to
the test.
This policy may hot satisfy
the fire-eating and the swash-
buckler. But it does satisfy
those who worship at the altar of
the God of Peace. The hotspurs
of this country proceed on the
theory that the noisiest man in
the land is the best patriot
Preparedness and Taxes.
Speaking of preparedness he
said:
We depreeate the eompulsion
but We recognize the need of the
policeman on the beat, the safe in
the bank and the Watchdog on
the farm.
we pray for the millennium
but we accept things as they are.
THE democratic party advocates
and seeks preparedness. but it is
preparedness for defense, not pre-
paredness for aggression.
I'VE may look upon prepared
ness with as little favor as We
look upon taxes because we want
the protection for which the taxes
pay.
Name Will Endure.
Glynn closed the address with
a statement of present prosperity
and an eulogy of President Will
son.
He spoke of the president as "a
scholar and student who has
kept his country true to its faith
In time that tried mems souls.
On the pages of history, black
ened with the tale of Europe's
war" he said, lone name will
shine in splendor; the name of
the patriot who has implanted his
country's flag on the highest peak
to which humanity has set aspir-
ed; the name that carried the
torch of progress to victory once
and will carry it to victory again;
the name of Woodrow Wilson,
President, and President to be-"
Glynn made no mention of the
Mexican situation.

ST. LOUIS, June 14-The key
note address of Martin II. Glynn,
former governor of New York, as
temporary chairman of the demo-
cratic national convention today
was, from the first word to the
last, a glowing tribute to Presi-
dent Wilson for preserving the
American doctrine of diplomatic
neutrality, for preparing the ma
ton for a protection only, as OPP
posed to those who for vain
glory or for selfish purposes, cry
up a policy of blood and iron"
1t was an appeal for all Ameri-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-06-14

cans to cast aside the 'tinsel of
party labels" in the great crisis
which confronts the nation. SO
that from the great pulsing
heart of the nation will come
a patriotic command to crush
partisanship and rebuke whatever
is mean or blind
Emphasizes Neutrality.
The paramount issue before
the people, he declared, is
whether the principles which
have been asserted as the nation
al policy, since the framing of the
constitution, and which have saw
ed the nation thus far from par
ticipation in the European con-
flict, shall be endorsed OF with
drawn"
No lesser issue must cloud this
issue, he asserted.
This national policy, he said,
has been upheld by all the tradi-
lions of the past; the policy of
strict neutrality purseud since
Tie bcB VI thC W I'll lluSl pC
continued; war must be avoided
by every possible means; the dig
nifty of the American nation must
be upheld, and it is the duty of
the American people to support
the president with ardor and en-
thusiasm, that these doctrines
and principles may be known to
all the world.
Old As the Flag.
Glynn outlined the history of
the policy of neutrality by criti-
cal events in American history,
declaring it as old as the Ameri-
can flag.
Neutrality is Am 'ica's contri-
button to the laws of the world.
For enforcing this policy
George Washington was hooted
by a bowling mob of 10000 war
fanatics; Alexander Hamilton
was almost stoned to death in
New York; John Jay was burned
in effigy, Jefferson called a
spinless poltroon and Lincoln pic
tured as craven. Today, how
ever, the nation goes to all these
men for It's every conception of
all that is best in American citi-
zenship."
No Hair Trigger.
Glynn added that Americas
doctrine of neutrality never
meant that 1t must rush headlone
into war at the first invasion of
its neutral rights.
Neutrality is not hair-trig-
gered policy that explodes in vio-
lence at the first assault. 1t is a
policy that has proved successful
because 1t has always been assert
ed through negotiation rather
than through force, through d.
plomacy rather than by an appeal
to arms"
In the light of all the events
of American history. he said, re-
publicans, when they arraign the
policy of the president of the
United States today, arraign the
policy of Harrison, of Blaine, Of
Lincoln and of Grant.
