Compares Parties

Amid the applause that followed
The reading Of this observation, Mr..
Davis raised his voice to name it's
author-Abraham Lincoln-aad con
tinued:
And IN this land today any man
should be ready to stand forth and
sign his yea and Amen on those
declarations.
Returning to his analysis Of gov
ernmentaI theories, Mr.. Davis de-
clared that what the American
people are going to decide on this
fall - deliberate choice between
these antagonistic and con, letting
theories of government"
He sketched at length the develop
ment of the Republican and Demo
cratic parties, and that headed bv
Senator LaFollette and Wheeler.
Naming them in order, he declared
they stood for privileges to some and
denial to others, equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, and
that the most recent entry in the DO.
litical field, would change our sys.
tenn of constitutional government
and put in it's place the parliament

Lauds New Society

The candidate introduced the sub
ject of racial and religious differ
ences with a reference to the society
formed yesterday in Utica and spon-
sored by former Senator Elihu Root
He hoped that the organization, COM
posed of Protestants and Catholics,
would bloom into a mighty tree
over this nation" to teach the doc
trine Of good will among men which
the Angels sung at Bethlehem"
In developing his idea, Mr.. Davis
said he recently had taken the OPP
portunity to find out what the ex-
pressions of great Americans had
been and quoted two of the declara-
tons he had found. The first said:
We have abundant reason to re-
Joice that in this land the life and
truth of reason has triumphed over
the power of bigotry and supersti-
ton and that every person may here
worship God according to the die
tates of his own heart. In this en-
llghtened age, and in this land of
equal liberty, it is our boast that
mans political tenets will not de-
prive him of the right of attaining
and holding the highest offices that
are known in the United States
Those were the words, Mr.. Davis
added, "of the greatest of all Ameri-
cans-George Washington.
The second statement was read
by the candidate as follows:
"Qslr progress in degeneracy ap-
pears to me to be pretty rapid. AS
nation we began by declarin: that
all men are created equal. We now
practically read it all men are Gre
ated equal except negroes When
the know nothings get control it
will real all men are created equal
except NEGROES and foreigners and
Catholics. When it comes to this S
shall prefer to emigrate to some
country where they make no pre-
tense OF loving liberty-to Russia,
for instance, where despotisln can
be taken pure and without the base
alloy, of hypocrisy.
