day for the democratic presidential
candidacy by John III. Bigeiow, of
Hazleton, Pa.
True Americanism must be on
guard" Mr.. Bigolow said. mo foe
within and no enemy without must
impair 1t or diminish II.
The hosts that we sent abroad in
the years OF our great conflict per-
formed their prodigies of valor and
wrought their noble eonquests to
the eternal glory of the Country. BY
their force and by their prowess the
mightiest menace to the worlds de-
mocracy was subdued. The militant
spirits brooding over the bloody
battlefields OF France and Flanders
nbere conquered. But the menaces
70 free government were not ban
ished. They still rear the hydra head
OF anarchy and revolution. Some
gather in the silences OF the night
within the gates Of secrecy. Others
take up the venal pen or by the art
OF speech spread their pernicious
doctrines. They prey upon Ignorance
and long established hatred OF every
form Of government.
THE dangers are not distant; the
fears are not mere fancy. They are
living. breathing things and always
pregnant with disaster. Therefore
your candidate must be more than
the mere mouthpiece OF your pol
iciss. He must be the emb odiment
of your freedom and the eKemplar
OF your liberties. He must be the
intrepic defender of your institu-
tions a courageous crusader in the
cause OF law and order. Above all.
he must be the ardent advocate of
Americanism; and the democracy OF
Pennsylvania has commanded me to
present to you his candidacy.
Shows Leadership.
C"In the exacting time through
which we have passed In recent
years he has shown all Of the quail
tiles of leadership.
'In Pennsylvania when a power
ful political organization under the
leadership of the present high priest
Of the republican party,--the invis-
ible power that dominated the re-
cent convention at Chicago - had
tempted even the leaders of our own
party to betray her interests. It was
he that entered into the conflict and
rescued democracy from her faith
less leaders and from her shame. II
was he that fearlessly exposed the
crimson record of republican cor
ruption and regenerated his party
so that now 1t may hold high its
head in the pursuit of those lofty
ideals and pure purposes that ara
the pride OF the nations democracy.
''In the halls of congress of the
nation in 1909 and 1911 when the
regime Of autocracy threatened to
crush the genius Of democratic gov
ernment. II was he that stood stead
fast with that magnificent array of
our leaders that routed the old order
OF absolutism, abolished Cannonism
and opened the doors for the oppor-
tunities that the ensuing years show
cred upon our party.
when finally the people of the
nation entrusted the charter of
power to democracy and placed here
representatives In charge OF our leg
islatiye halls 1t was he that stood
upon the floor OF congress and rem
dered valiant service alongside of
Clark and Underwood in the great
constructive work that marked the
initial steps OF democracy's re-as-
cendence.
