Democratic Achievements.
The Democratic party is an unen-
tangled party--a free party-owing
no allegiance to any class or group or
special interest. We were able to take
great progressive program outlined in
u platform in 1912. During the
, months which interviewed between
| March 4th, 1913, and the outbreak OF
the World war, we placed upon the
statute books of our country more eff
f~ective, constructive and remedial
legislation than the Republican party
had placed there in a generation.
nh income tax was made a perma-
nent part of the revenue producing
agencies of the country. thereby re-
lieving u law of the reproach of be-
ing unjustly burdensome to the poor,

Text Of Democratic Keynote Address

The keynote address Of the Demo- ,
cratic convention was given today by
Chairman Homer B. Commings. Its
text was as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen Of the Conven-
ton:
At this high hour when the des-
TIMES not only Of political parties but
OF peoples are at stake; when social
unrest is everywhere apparent; when
existing forms of government are be-
ing challenged, and their very founda-
tons disturbed or swept away. it is
well for us. here in America, to pause
for a period Of solemn elaboration.
We, who assemble in this great con
vention, counsel together, not merely
al members of a party, but as children
Of the republic. Love of country and
devotion to human service should
purge our hearts of all unworthy or
misleading motives. Let US fervently
pray for a Divine blessing upon all
that we do or undertake. Let us pledge
ourselves anew to equality of oppor-
tunity; the unity of our country above
the interests of groups or classes; and
the maintenance of the high honor Of
America in her dealings with other
nations.
The people will shortly, determine
which political instrunl entality is best
suited to their purposes, most respon-
stve to their needs. They will have be-
fore them many platforms and many
promises. In what direction will they
turn? There is no better way of judg-
ing the future than by the past. We
ask, therefore, that the people turn
from the passions. and tthe prejudices
of the day to the consideration of a
record as clear as it is enduring.
,h1icnn I,e11archfn .at
The Republican party was unsuc-
cause it had persistently served spe-
,cial interests and had lost touch with
the spirit of the time. Those who COM
trolled its destiny derived their pc:
litical inspiration from "the good old
4 days of Mark Hanna" and neither de-
sired a new day nor were willing to
F~recognize a new day when 1T had
dawned. To each pressing problem,
they sought merely to reapply the
{ processes of antiquity.
Their were elements in the Repub-
: lican party which were intolerant of
it's mental sloth and moral i-responsi-
bility. These influences sought to gain
party control in 1912 and again, in
1916. They renewed the hcSeless
struggle at the convention recently
held at Chicago.
Despite these efforts, the leaders
who have manipulated the party
mechanism for more than a genera
ton, are still in undisputed control.
The Republican platform, reaction
airy n provincial. is the very apothe-
osis CT political expediency. Filled with
premediated ISLANDERS and vague
promises, it will be searched in vain
for one constructive suggestion for the
reformation Of the conditions which

ing was provided. A national council
of defense was created. Industry was
successfully mobilized.
Almost over night. the factories Of
the nation were made a part OF the
machine. and the miraculous revival
Of the shipping industry filled the
ocean lanes with our. transports.

One of the first decisions was be-

selective draft. Many patriotic citizens
strongly deprecated CONSUMPTION and
dreaded it's possibilities. The admin
istration: however. placed it's influence
behind the measure. secured Its pass
age. and made possible the winning
of the war.
1t proved a democratic system as
surfing equal service, equal danger and
equal opportunity. At n stroke of
the pen. bounty jumping, and the
hired substitutes that had disgraced
the management of the Civil Val were
made impossible. The selection of men
20 go to the front was placed not
merely in the hands OF the civil au-
thorities, but actually in the hands OF
the friends and neighbors Of the men
! eligible for service. No fundamental
law was eve administered with such
scrupulous honor. Not one breath OF
scandal touched this legislation: and

This extraordinary narration sounds
like platform Of promises The sober
fact is that it is an inadequate recital
of actual performance. 1t constitutes
Democracy's response to the demands
of social justice. 1t is our answer to
the ~antiquated Islander that the Demo-
cratic party is unable to understand
the great affairs Of the country.
The Federal Reserve System.
If h Democratic party had accom-
plished nothing more thar the pass
age Of the federal reserve act, it would
be entitled to the enduring gratitude
Of the nation. This act supplied the
country with an elastic currency on
trolled by the American people. Pan

Ten days of searching for lead
