Says Party Progressive By Associated Press. Lincoln, Aug. 18.—Senator Harri son, members of the notification com mittee, and fellow citizens: The generous statement of your chairman In presenting your message, and In placing before this audience and Into the ears of unseen millions throughout the land his encourage ment and cheer to those who believe In a government by the people, Is sln t cerely appreciated. I would be wholly lacking in the Impulses of humanity If I failed to appreciate the very great honor the democratic party has conferred upon me In nominating me for vice presi dent of the United States. I would be derelict In my obligations to the democratic party and to the nation ns well If I failed to recognize the re sponsibilities accompanying that hon or. The desire on the part of the cit izens of Lincoln that this notification take place here was very gratifying to me. I have made my home here for 80 years. I have come to know these people as only few know them. It Is here and from here that I have taken part In the business life, social life and the political life of the city nnd state. I am Indebted to the peo ple of Lincoln nnd of the state of Ne braska for whatever success I may have achieved. No man should accept nor should a great political party tender the nomination to a candidate Without a full realization on both sides that such a selection Imposes on the one chosen a firm obligation to the whole people to stand true to the Ideals of America. The ambitions of the Indi vidual are of no consequence and must not stand In the way of ths preservation and success of a demo cratic form of government, which can only he achieved and maintained by > guarding the happiness, prosperity and contentment of the people resid ing In all sections of the country. This nation Is composed of divers peoples and activities. The success of a nation requires that the desires and intereet of each ehall be subject to the needs and rights of all. In dividuals, groups, factions and organ izations, whether they be persons, parties, creeds or races, economlo or otherwise, must be restrained to the extent that the equal rights of others shall not be Impaired. Time, nor the occasion, will permit a review of all the Issues treated In the platform of our party but I wlU analyze some of them In the plain direct manner that the people of the agricultural states are accustomed to. Progressive Platform. The representatives of the people, the good men and women who served as delegates at the recent national democratic convention, did their work well. The platform which they adopt ed upholds the Ideals of America, demands a return to the honesty In government of our forefathers, and outlines the legislative and adminis trative requirements to restore equal ity In government. It Is the most progressive platform covering the tried and practical measurea for the economic freedom and prosperity of the people that has ever been pro mulgated by a national convention. That great democratic convention, so recently held In Madison Square Garden, Is a striking Illustration of the soundness of heart and sanenesa of mind of the American people. Torn by passions and prejudices, that great convention refused to be cajoled Into cowardice or deadlocked Into desperation, but tenaciously held to Its purpose until out of the dying embers of controversy th# spirit of unity ross and reason triumphed In the nomination of that able lawyer, that trained diplomat, that experi enced statesman, that champion of the rights of humanity, that progres elve democrat, John W. Davis. Honesty Is Essential. Honesty, efficiency and economy in government affairs, municipal, state and national. Is the need of the hour. There must he honesty In the heart, honesty In the mind, honesty In busi ness and honesty In official life If the Ideals of the republic are to be main tained. Efficiency and economy In business and government can only be achieved by Integrity In thought and In action. The great masses of the people to day are calling for progressive lead ershlp. The unreet throughout the country Is caused by Inertia on the part of public officials, mounting numbers -of government employes, duplication and overlapping In gov ernmental agencies, useless hoards and commissions, the resultant high cost of government and excessive taxation, nnd the failure of the gov ernment to function for the protec tion arid welfare of the weaker mem bers of society. My connection for more thsn 20 years with the publication In Lincoln of "The Commoner," a national mag azine devoted to the defense and wel fare of the common people In their In alienable rights, gave me an oppor tunity to try to apply the principles of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none" to the political problems that are constantly con fronting the people of every city and of every state. My connection with the problems of government, city nnd state, with which the people of Lin coln end the atate of Nebraska, re gardless of psrty affiliation or station In life, have co-operated and sup ported me Id are largoly responsible for the huge honor that this occasion confers.

Agriculture Recognized. By the selection of one from the heart of the great middle west as Its candidate for the vice presidency, the democratic party recognizes the Im portance of agriculture as one of the basic Industries of the nation, nnd we have the assurance that our party Is In direct sympathy with the needs and advancement of the agricultural in teresta of the country. Our party testifies to its Interest In the child labor amendment to the constitution by pointing out that It could not have been submitted with Dut democratic votes. Since the adoption of the democratic platform, Arkansas, a democratic atate, has the honor to be the first atate to ratify the child labor amendment. Support of labor. All legislation for the heneflt of the wage earners rests on the first sen tence of our platform's labor plank. "Labor Is not a commodity. It is human.” Therefore it must he dealt with humanly. Lincoln echoed the sentiments of Jefferson when he de clared that In case of conflict between the two the man must come before the dollar. This Is a fundamental difference between the attitude of re publican leaders and the attitude of democratic leaders on this subject. The "captains of Industry" have their place and should be protected In their rights, but those whom they employ and whose labor they direct have rights as sacred and which are essential as their employers to Indus trial welfare and our political prog ress. Equality of political rights im plies, and should he accompanied by, equality of opportunity. The democratic party was the first large party to declare for a secretary of labor, and the democratic adminis tration of Woodrow Wllaon waa the first to have a representative of labor at the president's council table. The democratic party has led In protect ing the wage earners’ rights to organ Izo and to bargain collectively. It has been labors' champion In secur ing the eight hour day and In ob taining for him protection from gov ernment by Injunction. Labor Is en titled to a living wage at American standards with a margin for old age. The refusal of the present republi can administration to permit the rnll way mall employes to receive a liv ing wage at American standar^i was unfair nnd unjust to labor anP Illus trates their economy program which Is at the expense of labor. Economy at the expense of humanity Is further Illustrated In the veto of the pension hill and of the soldiers’ adjusted com pensation measure. The buying of Immunities, the Issu ing of permits, the hoisting of tariff schedules and the granting of gov ernment oil leases In return for cam paign contributions, must be uproot ed and destroyed forever If this gov ernment Is to endure. Men must be selected for public positions on ac oount of their honesty nnd ability, and not on account of their aoclal qualities or their political strategy. Woman’s Worth snjl Equality. Our platform takes special notice of women’s entrnnre Into the arson of politics. Woman's rightful place Is by the side of man. Their blood Is mingled In their offspring nnd they nre united ns no others can he In guarding the home, the unit of so clety, the nursery of youth. Every thing that is good nnd wholesome will be benefited by woman's counsel. Every righteous cause will triumph the sooner because of her political activity. She will not only he the vigilant defender of health, education and spiritual life hut ns treasurer of the household, she will powerfully assist In the Introduction of econ omies in government. The democrat Ic party has no principles, policies or plans that It cannot submit to her Judgment and her sense of Justice She has hcen enfranchised lind Iter request that she he recognize)! )>n nil quality with man In employment, compensation and Jury service Is reasonable and equitable. Child Welfare. The welfare, education and protec tion of child life, and the care of mothers are of first Importance and should be given every consideration that law and administration could of fer. ' Our party has always been the la boring man’s friend, not to secure his vote but because the nation can not progress unless he progresses It cannot Ignore his Inalienable rights without Jeopardizing the rights of all. Outlawing of War, The democratic party pledges all Its energies to the outlawing of the whole war system. The statement could not he stronger and It expresses the sentiment of a large majority of the American people. The only hope of the world Is found in the substi tution of machinery for peace In the place of machinery for war. War propaganda, mobilization de monstrations of the civil and Indus trial resources of the country when we are at peace with the world, un necessarily Inflame the mind of the American youth, are a great economic waste, mislead the people of other lands as to the peaceful and friendly Intention of the United States gov eminent and should he discouraged by all friends of world peace. Our party will endeavor to secure world disarmament by International agreement—It Is a condition prece dent to peace. It will also strive for an International agreement providing for a referendum on war except In case of actual or threatened Invasion. This may require time but It Is worth working for and worth waiting for. The reason given in the democratic platform for referendum will com mend Itself to the conscience of the world; upon It Is the sentiment that will some day make this a warless world Until International agree ments can he mad# to maintain the pence of the world, an adequate army and navy for our national safety must be maintained. Need* of Agriculture. All political parties give much at tention to the needs of agriculture, especially during political campaigns. The attitude of the two major poli tical parties towards agriculture, Its Importance, Its conditions and Its needs, Is clearly Indicated by their records In congress and their posl tlons ns set forth In their respective platforms. Four years ago, at the time the republican administration came Into power, the farmers nnd stock raisers were receiving good prices for their produce. There was a market at fair prlees for land. The farmers were among the first to feel (he effect* of legislation and admin istratlve action which changed the conditions of the farmers from pros perity to adversity, nnd caused the farmer's hank balance to disappear and mortgages on his farm to take Its place. The republican policy of reducing (he higher achedules of tho surtax on Incomes and removing tho tax from tho profiteer, and, through this Dimni shifting the taxes from those who were beet able to pay to those who were already overburdened, had Its dlrert and Injurious effect on the farmers. The adoption by the republican party of the prohibitive tariff compelled the American farmer to purehnso what he used and wore In an artificial and highly protected market, and the same high tariff rntes reduced the buying ability of tho farmer's customers abroad for his surplus grain and meat. The dr flatlon policy of the republican ad ministration, advocated In Its national platform of 1020, nnd endorsed In the speech ,nf acceptance of Its candidate for the presidency, resulted In with drawing hank loans and discounts of $5,000,000,000, contracted our cur rency by $1,500,000,0000, cut the mnr ket value of his lands, threw thou sands of farmers Into bankruptcy sod spread Industrial depression nnd un employment throughout the country. Itclirf Measures Fulled. The relief plan provided by the re publicans which Increased the Im port duty on wheat- although the fainter.-) were exporters of grain, had -tided «u thi f.itiuci a knowledge of th* workings of th# protective tariff and still further deprssed the price of the farmer's grain abroad where he is compelled to sell his surplus production. Relief measures provid ed by the republican administration, such as intermediate credit banks and other organizations for loaning the farmer money at high interest rates with a commission paid to middle men for making the loans, has en couraged the farmer to go still deep er Into debt and has made his down fall more certain in the end. The democratic party has proven itself to be the friend of the farmer in the past, and the platform adopted In the recent national democratic con vention provides for the most com plete and practical relief for the farm er that any political party or organ ization has ever conceived. The farm er needs the high tariff rates re duced so as to enable him to buy in a competitive market at home and remove the restrictions which have injuriously effected the foreign Mar ket in which he sells his surplus products. He needs the support of the Federal Reserve system as it was intended by the democratic party, which framed the bill, and he needs relief from the deflation policy of the republican party which is largely re sponsible for the farmer's distress. The farmer needs lower railroad and water rates which will benefit both the buyer and seller, national and in ternational. He needs the develop ment of a deep waterway system from the great lakes to the ocean and to the gulf, and he needs the development of our water powers to supply cheaper fertilizer on the farm and to supply power, light and fuel for his service In his home. He needs better and more uniform ware house laws. He needs legislation, state and national, that will enable the farmers to develop co-operative marketing facilities which will In crease the price that he receives and reduce the price that the ultimate consumer pays. The farmer needs an export marketing corporation, or com mission, so that his small surplus product, which Is sold In the markets abroad, will not establish the price of the whole crop that he produces. The farmer needs the benefit of the recla mation act of 1924, which was de feated by the republican conferees one hour before adjournment of the last session of congress, and he needs the reclamation of the arid and seml arld lands of the west. The farmer needs a democratic administration and a congress that will not permit a Mellon tax plan to relieve multi-mll Uonatres from paying their Just share of the cost of government. These are some of the measures of relief, ad vancement and encouragement that are outlined In the democratic plat form. These measures will not he un fair to any other Industry or Interest. Fanners Demand Repeal. The farmers throughout th# coun try who produce the wealth from the soli, who produce the food stuffs upon which the people of the T'nlted States subsist and who make It possible for millions to survive In other parts of the world are not asking for special privilege# They are not demanding class legislation; they are not at tempting to get hold of the govern ment and use it to the disadvantage of other people The farmer* are de manding. however, and they have a right to demand, that the legislation which discriminates against them should be repealed; that th# adminis trative measures that have Injurious ly effected them should be withdrawn and that agriculture, the basio indus try of the nation, be placed on an equality with other Interests that have grown and developed in this country. It la not more opportunities to borrow money that the farmer needs. It Is legislative and amdinistra tive remedies that will reduce arti ficial prices of what he has to buy, remove the restrictions In the mar kets In which he hns to sell his prod ucts. and to increase hts ability to pay the money he has already been compelled to borrow and will give him a pries for his grain and live stork that will rover the coat of production, enable him to clothe, feed and edu cate hi* family and again take hla place *# a free and Independent citi zen. The demooratto platform favor* the development of our wat*r power the water power of Muael* Bhoals and In th* mountain stream* and In the rlvera throughout th* land were developed It would *upply th* power to operate all of our factories, all of our Industrie* and all of our means of transportation. It would enable the raw materials of the country to be manufactured where they are pro duced, thus saving the cost of trans portatlon of th# raw product to the factory and the finished product back to the consumer. It would enable Industries to spring up where needed most to create business snd to supply human needs. If the water power of the nation were developed it would furnish electric current to light and heat the homes nf th# cities and on the farms, and supply electric current to operate all the machinery neoes sary to for needs of the farms snd for th* convenience and comfort of the homes, both city and rural, at a small fraction of «h* present cost. Til* demooratto platform favors the strict puhllo control of and comerva tion of all the nation's natural re sources, lnoludlng coal, Iron, oil and timber. Th* demooratto party be lieves that th* nation »hould retain title to It* water power altes. and fit vora the expeditious creation snd de velopment of our water power for the use of our cltlxen* If the water power site* nf the country were al lowed to pitas Into the hands of great combination* of capital the people would pas* under a yoke of servitude more galling. If possible, than the for elgn landlord system. The platform favors th* recovery of the navy's oil reserve*, nnd all other parts of the puhllo domain, which hate lieeti fraudulently or Illegally leased or otherwise transferred to the develop ment of private Interest. law KnfnrrentetW The democratic party 1# the friend of orderly government. It believes with Jefferson that ncijulesonce In the will of the people is the first prill clple nf republics, law* should bs obeyed by all rrgnidles* of whether tills nr that Individual may Ilk# or dislike them It Is the doctrine of anarchy, not the doctrine of America, that law* ate to be obeyed only by ihuac who approve them. Th* demo cratlc platform declare* that '',The republican admlnletratlon ha* failed to enforce the prohibition law*; Is guilty of trafficking In liquor permlta and has become the protector of vio lators of this law.” The democratic party through lta platform pledges It self to respect and enforce the con stitution and all laws. Private Monopoly. The democratic platform has again reiterated Its attitude towards a pri vate monopoly when it says that “A private monopoly la Indefensible and intolerable.” The failure of the re publican administration to enforce the law against conspiracies In re straint of trade and Illegal combina tions of business which stifle compe lltion, has unnecessarily, unfairly and dishonestly increased the cost of liv ing and permitted the profiteer to ply his trade without let or hindrance. Those engaged In agriculture, the middle classes and the wage earners, have been placed at such a disadvan tage that their situation required ac tion. The political unrest and dis content throughout the country Is a protest against the Inaction of those in public office. The failure of the national republi can administration to enforce the law against private monopoly caused some of the states and state officials, In the middle west, to enter ths field of commerce for the purpose of estab lishing competition to protect the pub lic from the unconscionable profiteer. In this way millions of dollars a year have been saved to the people In their coal, gasoline and oil bills. Municipal and state governments should not, In my opinion, engage In competition with legitimate private business, hut when private monopoly defies the legally constituted authori ties, or when government officials be come corrupt and the federal gov ernment falls to function for the pro tection and welfare of the masses, It becomes necessary for the state and municipal governments to use all the means at their command to prevent imposltlone upon the public, or the result In the community and state will be I. W. W.a, bolsheviks and anarchy. I have only reviewed a few of the provisions of the democratic platform but will discuss others at a later date. I have called attention, *t this time, to a few of the outstanding Issues which are uppermost In the minds of the people of the great agricultural states, viz., woman's worth and equality, child welfare, the demo cratic party* Interest In and sup port of labor, the needs of the agri culturist, water power development, law enforcement and ths outlawing of war. The democratic party's position on these question* is in keeping with the progressive thought of the times. The measures approved In our plat form are remedies for the relief sug gested by the various groups of In terested parties who have made & study of their respective needs. The democratic candidates are In harmony with the platform upon which they have been nominated, and upon which they will go forth In this cam palgn. The democrats platform Is broad enough, strong enough and progres sive enough to satisfy those who be lieve In that great democratic prin ciple of equality before the law The democratic party presents a program of progressive policies for which the party stands as a unit, without the Intervention of faction, bloc or section, I'nfty of Purpose. The democratic party enters the campaign with a spirit of harmony and a unity of purpose rarely found In a presidential contest. The democratic party placed more progressive measures for the benefit and protection of the common people, In the constitution and In the stntutee during the eight yeara of the administration of that great statesman and patriot, Woodrow Wil aon, than ever were enacted by any other party during any !S years of the nation's history. The democratic party during the world war demonstrated Its ability to co-ordinate, lta ability to govern, lis Integrity as a party and lta dealr# to lead the nations of the world Into an honorable and enduring peace. Not withstanding the blllione of dollars handled during the w-orld war when the stress of the times required Im mediate declslone and the negotia tions of large contracts without time for Investigation or deliberation, no betrayal of a trust, no trace of graft, and no scandal or dishonesty wns brought to the door of any democrat In official life. This Is a record that cannot he duplicated In American hlatory and it should he sn assur ance to every citizen, to every Indus try, to every business, and to every organization or Interest that the democratic party la the Instrument, at this time, to carry Into effect a government of. by and for the people. It Is unthinkable that the great host of progresaive farmers and wage earners, both organized and unorgan ized, whom 1 know from active as sociation and co operation In aervh r for many years, having this great party organization presented now as a nt instrument through which to work their will, should permit s dl ' Islon of strengt h snd make possible the triumph of the forces of reaction and selfish Interest. In seceptlng the nomination you tender me, I feel It Is but due you to say that I am conaclous of no obli gation to any Interest or sny Indi vidual that would am bar is as me In the discharge of th* duties of this ortw. I th«t th* ilrmoj r.itlc party it equally free from obligation to either Individuals or Interests that would prevent it from being used lo restote confidence In government snd ei-o nomlc Justice In the nation. I therefore accept the nomination.

Today 7'he Plan Goes Through. Watch the Sky. She J\ursed a Bear. Stove Lasted 61 Years. By ARTHUR BRISBANE >__/ The Dawes plan will have its trial and the world will see what happens. Germany gets four years to pre pare big reparation payments, ex pected to amount to $650,000,000 annually. We thought it pretty big when we built the Panama canal in several years. Gemany will pay those that conquered her, enough to build three Panama canals every year, if this plan goes through. First, the other countries will lend money to Germany, $200, 000,000 to begin with. Germany will mortgage her railroads for $2,500,000,000, her industries for $1,250,000,000. These mortgages, as bonds, will be sold to the outside world as fast as may be. The French, although that wasn’t in the original Dawes plan, will evacuate the Ruhr within a year. The French will have to pay the cost of occupation until they get out. It looks like a good program, for the allies at least. If France and Belgium get the bulk of $650,000, 000 every year they should be happy, financially. How Germany will feel and act when the time comes to begin annual payments remains to be seen. That will de pend on how strong Germany feels. A debtor, sick, will sign anything. Next Saturday at nightfall look in the southeastern sky for our red neighbor, the planet Mars. You will never have as good a look again unless Mars should prove to be that one of the “many man sions’’ to which you will move after death. On Saturday Mars will come within 34,630,000 miles of our earth, nearer than at any time within 200 years. This means much to scientists eagerly awaiting the event. We shall get no definite information as to Mars’ inhabitants, whether they are mere microbes living in a thin atmosphere, or supermen, waiting for this planet to grow up and stop fighting, that they may teach us all they have learned in the tens of million* of year* by which th*lr age exceeds ours. The close approach of Mar* may mean a great deal on the next “nearest approach.” When that day comes newspapers may carry headlines about the "hop-off” of some Biderail flying man, waiting, in his traveling shell, to be project ed through ether, thirty-four or five million miles, by power locked up in the atom. That isn’t probable, but it isn’t impossible. Sufficient strength would shoot a projectile with a man inside beyond the reach of this earth’s power of attraction. After that, with the moon out of the way, it would be clear sailing all the way. Traveling scientists would sim ply fall onto Mars, unless picked up and forever held by small, dark baby planets traveling in space. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gives a medal to the widow of Effle M. Beal. On it is written “awarded to Effle M. Beal for her extraordinary acts of motherly devotion.” In 10 guesses you won’t guess how Mrs. Beal won the medal. Her husband, a New England lumberjack, found a new born baby bear. He shot the baby’s mother, to get the hide and bounty, brought home the tiny bear found between the mother’s paws, its eyes not yet opened. Mrs. Beal nursed that bear, not much bigger than a kitten, and nursed her infant at the same time, one on one side, one on the other. It’s interesting, a sort of Romulus and Remus, upside down. The cruelty to animals society would be bankrupt if it gave med als to all mothers that take care, not of bear babies, but other wo men’s babies, in addition to their own. Perhaps the angel Gabriel, in his bookkeeping, will provide gold medals for mothers that have nursed the children of other women. Another remarkable woman is Mrs. Herbert Sheets of Salem coun ty, New Jersey. She has used the same “cook stove” for 61 years, and it is clean still and shiny, al though she has cooked 67,000 meals on it. A lady who can keep one stove going for 61 years, “dry ing all my wood in the oven,” is as important in the history of fe males as Marie Corelli or Laura Jean Libbey herself.

Assails Republicans (Continued Trom Page One.) has been, by the vetoa of an unsym pathetic president.” Defeat of the ship subsidy bill, the battle waged against the "inlquitoue and indefensible provisions” of the Fordney-McCumber tariff law, defeat of the Mellon tax plan and adoption of an opposition substitute, and the “long and hard fight to rid the admin istration of gTaft and corruption” were detailed as achievements of the "progressive forces," the democratic alignment with which no one could deny during the last four years. President Coolidge's reference In hi# acceptance speech to agriculture and tax questions were attacked by Sena tor Harrison in sarcastic terms. "It must be refreshing to the great agricultural west,” he said, "after liv ing through the lean years of this re publican administration, confronted as It has been with a situation de plorable in the extreme and hardly comparable to any other in this gen eration, that the republican nominee for president should announce in his acceptance speech in speaking of agr. culture, ‘The glad tidings of good news that now that nature and eco nomic laws have given some tempo rary relief, I propose, therefore, to appoint a committee to investigate and report measures to the congress in December that may help secure this result which we all desire.' "The preaident overlooks the fact that In June, 1921, while vice presi dent, at the direction of the congress, he appointed a committee to study the needs of agriculture and to make rec ommendations to the congress. The republican nominee haa forgotten that that committee made Its report in the fall of that year, and up until this good hour he has don# nothing toward having any of the recom mendations applied or enacted into law.
