Josiah Marvel Speaks
In accepting the Craftsmanship of
the convention, Mr.. Marvel urged |
the members of the convention to
think of themselves not as a separ-
ate unit to gain their petty ends,
but to think of themselves as part
of the great national movement to
regain America once again to the
principles of Thomas Jefferson.
Those principles still remain as
paramount an issue as they were in
the past years, he continued. Mr..
Marvel stated that the conduct of
officials is a direct result of the
policy of the party which put them
in power, and that either the Demo-
Gratis or the Republicans must hold
themselves responsible for the Off
cial acts which their officers per- ,
form.
Senator Bayard, in a brief ad-
dress, stressed the fact that in the
coming Presidential campaign the !
Democrats of America are going to {
conduct an aggressive campaign for !
the first time since the election of :
Woodrow Wilson. The campaign, =
he stated, will be based on an ex- q
pose of the alleged corruption of the !
administration. The plea h
for unbiased votes, he continued,
will also be based on the unparal-
eled record of the Democratic adj
during the war.
Mr.. Biggs expressed his utmost
confidence that the Democratic par
y will, in this election, regain it's
ost prestige and power. Mr.. Wells W
llso stated that the Democrats II
throughout the country have the
chance of decade to win an over w
victory during the coming in
campaign. Dr.
