make a mockery of democracy-and
we have 1t. The HamiltonIan state Is
necessarily temple Of gold resting on
the bowed backs Of peasants in other
peoples fields-and we almost have that
now. They would defy dollars and
minimize men. limit government
and centralize power, cripple democracy,
empower bureaucracy, welcome pluto
cracy-and we will soon have that too.
Give the plunderbund but eight years
more of such governmental cooperation
and combination of power companies
will put few men In control Of the
public utilities of mighty empire.
Make no mistake about it--that is the
great Jacksonian struggle of tomorrow
And with that sinister possibility upon
us. the people must determine whether
they will intrust their interest to those
who believe that governments are
strong In proportion as they are made
profitable to the powerful, or to the
Jeffersonians, who believe that govern
ments are created for the service of
mankind. Once in possession and In
trenched, the plunderbund Of the
power monopoly cannot be dislodged
by the fighting force Of dozen Andrew
Jacksons.
Back to Old Landmarks.
And so we are going Blackjack to
the old landmarks Of liberty and justice
in this campaign. Let me suggest text
for people grown cynical and confused
Saith the Lord, stand We in the ways
and see, and ask for the old paths,
which is the good way. AMI walk there
in, and We shall find rest for your souls"
We are modified to lead the people
back to the old paths of constitutional
liberty and to the good way. We are
going blackjack to the old landmarks
Of liberty and equality wham ordinary
men had rights that even power re-
spected: when justice, not privilege, was
the watchword of the state; when the
preamble of the Declaration and the
Bill of Rights had meaning: when the
Nation embraced every section and every
class. and before the Pittsburgh Bra
tianu had decided to make Rumanian
peasants OF American farmers to fill the
Golfers Of a purse-proud caste.
Our principles have been written in
the triumphs of the people and baptized
in the blood of our bravest and our
best. Jefferson phrased them, Jackson
vitalized them, Wilson applied them,
and we go forth to battle for them now
Foe Called Arrogant.
We face foe grown arrogant with
success. 1t we're infamy TO permit the
enemy to divide us or divert us on the
eve of such battle. Issues are in
volved that go to the determination of
the future of our institutions and our
children. The call that comes to us is
as sacred as the cause of humanity it
self From the grave at the Hermitage
comes the solemn warning that no party
ever won or deserved to win that did not
organize and fight unitedly for victory,
and we shall thus organize and fight.
This Is q unique campaign. The very
precinct committeeman and the district
captains become minute men of liberty
in the reassertion of the principles of
freedom.
And We shall win because our cause is
just The predatory forces before US
seek q triumph for the sake OF the
sacking. Their shock troops are the
Black Horse Cavalry, whose hOofbeats
have made hideous music on Pennsyl-
vania avenue during the last eight years.
They are led by money-mad cynics and
scofferS-and we 60 forth to battle for
the cause of man. In the presence OF
such foe he who dallies Is bastard
and he who doubts Is damned" In this
convention we close debate and grasp
the sword. The time has come. The
battle hour has struck. Then to your
tents, o Israeli
