then the men who stood by me are
also, and surely Mr. Bryan can not
accept a nomination which must come,
if it does, from the men who decided
hat I was fit, and that Dunlap,
Thompson and the Jacksonville cabal
were not only unfit, but had lied,
slandered and villifled, not myself
alone, but the majority of the dele
gates who sat in the Springfield state
convention of 1904, and by virtue of
whose votes I hold my office.
"Even if I were willing t6 resign,
as requested, I could not do so under
the present conditions. If I did, after
the charges .which Mr. Bryan makes,
I would be declaring not only that I
was guilty of fraud, but, that three
Xourths of the democratic leaders in
the county were equally .guilty.
"A word as to my 'corporate con
nections,' on whiich Mr. Bryan seems
to place so much importance. The
only corporation with which I am
connected is the Ogden Gas company,
of which I have the honor of. being
president. It came into existence be
cause of a demand for cheaper gas in
this city. It gave to the people of
the community for 90 cents what
they were then paying $1.10 for.
"In conclusion, I would lika to re
mind Mr. Bryan that the 'fundamental
principles of democracy' which he
speaks of do not include recognition
of political czardom. Democrats may
have their leaders, the leaders may
have their followers, but their lead
ers will never be autocrats and the
followers will never be serfs, obedient
to the orders prompted by court favorites."

After the platform had been adopt
ed, Chairman Fowler of the resolu
tion committee presented a separ
ate resolution calling for the investi
gation of the national chairman,
Thomas Taggart. A motion to table
the Taggart resolution was carried.
In the platform as adopted appears
the following:
"Evils under the form of combina
tions and trusts, which have so
shocked the moral conscience of the
nation In the last few years, are a di
rect outcome of class legislation by
the republican party, conferring privi
leges on corporations at the expense
of the common people. A continu
ance of such legislation is now threat
ened by the many bills of like char
acter, as for Instance the ship sub
sidy bill and inadequate remedial
laws, enacted by the recent congress
showing that there Is no honest pur
pose on the part of the republican
party to relieve the people from the
evils thus cast on them by this un
just legislation. Their affiliations
with the classes thus favored make
it absolutely impossible to expect re
lief from republican sources."
The platform then cites the rejec
tion of the propositions of Senator La
Follette with regard to railroad legis
lation as proof of these assertions.
The resolutions further favor the nom
inations of all candidates by direct
vote; nominations and elections of
United States senators by direct
vote; a passenger rate of not more
than 2 cents a mile in the lower penin-
