Of Democracy can most happily and
tremendously unite"
Hitchcock Nominated
Declaring that this is a time when
no Democrat needs to make apology
Tor the record Of his party and that
under the leadership OF Woodrow
Wilson America has experienced a
period OF prosperity and national
glory such as she has never known
before former governor A c. Shall
lenberger, Of Kansas, today presented
the name Of senator Hitchcock, Of
that state, as the candidate for presi-
dent most suited TO continue the
presidents policies.
The Democratic party must stand
or fall upon the record made by the
Wilson administration" said M
Shallenberger. We have no other
political asset without it, we are
bankrupt
THAT administration waged q
world war ana won it gloriously-
And when the president signed the
peace treaty at Paris, America had
stepped into the leadership Of the
world American democracy was
triumphant and her edicts were ac-
cepted as the law Of nations. But
g Republican senate has already lost
for Us all that the craftsmanship Of
the president achieved and the SOL
diers won for US upon the field Of
battle
1T was a great thing TO win a
world war, but it would be a still
greater achievement to bring endur-
ing peace to war cursed world
The world wants peace and I believe
America wants q league OF nations
TO make that peace permanent There
is the vital issue between the two
great parties
'The Republicans are once more
standing pat They have no other
policy. They have simply deadlocked
the nation and our government is IN
able TO function. Our trade with
other peoples waits upon the rati-
1icatiou Of the treaty OF peace and
without our foreign comm cree, in
dustry and production halt and hest
tate at home Republican stupidity
and stubbornness has brought the
nation TO the verge OF a panic.
The president would be our logical
leader in the coming campaign be-
cause he has laid down the line Of
battle along which we must fight
But since another must head the hosts
OF Democracy, Nebraska offers as q
substitute, the man who has stood
like a stone wall behind the presi-
dent throughout the long struggle for
the ratification OF the treaty Of peace.
i am authorized by the Democrats
Of Nebraska TO offer to this conven-
ton as our candidate for the high
office Of president OF the United
States, the name OF our senior United
States senator A man who halls
from the west, but who commands the
confidence Of the east; a man born
in the middle west but who is known
and admired everywhere; g man who
is g native son OF Nebraska but who
now belongs 10 the nation That dis
tinguished Democrat, that sterling
Statesman, that loyal American citi-
zen, that brave defender OF American
Democracy in the senate OF the
United States. Gilbert IL Hitchcock,
OF Nebraska"
Amerieanism Palmer Plea
Hailed as a new Navarro; his lance
that Of law his shield that Of justice"
attorney general A. Mitchell Palmer
was formally nominated today for the
democratic presidential candidacy by
John r Bigelow, Of Hazleton. Penn

guard" Mr. Bigelow said mo foe
within and no enemy without must
impair Il or diminish It
The hosts that we sent abroad in
the years OF our great conflict per-
formed their prodigies Of Talor and
wrought noble conquests 10 the eter-
nal glory OF the country. BY their
force and by their proves the
highest menace TO % the worlds
democracy was subdued. The militant
spirits brooding over the bloody bat
tlefields Of France and Flanders were I
conquered But the menaces TO free
government were not banished. They
rear the hydra-head. OF anarchy and
revolution Some gather in the silen-
ces OF the night within the gates q
secrecy. Others take up the Tenal pen
