THE reading public knows ere this
that Senator Ollie James, the gigantic
mentally and physically Democratic
Kentucky statesman, is dead But not
many know that it was at the Demo
cratic national convention, held in st.
Louis on June Is. 1916, when Senator
James delivered the keynote speech on
the occasion of President Wilson'S re-
nomination. The keynote sounded was
Gle kept US out of war. In report
ing the speech the day following the
Chicago Tribune said in part Before
Senator James had proceeded very far
in his pilgrimage he clutched the brazen
throat OF War and choked it to death.
1t is. he inferred, a Republican institu-
ton. He reused the convention to iron
indignation and imbued it with such
hatred for its bloody adversary that
the hot air was full of spirit of car
mage" Time has proved that this re-
putedly great statesman was greater
as deceptive politician.
