INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. S.-TI1. t?xt of
President Wllnon's Jackson day prceh
here ts aa folio si
"Oovernor Ralrton, ladles and gentle
nam: You have given ni a mont royal
welcome, for which I thank you from the
bottosi f my heart. It Is rather lonely
living la Washington. I have been con
fined for two years at hard labor and
even now I feel that I am simply out on
parole. Tou notice that one, of the moet
dlnstlngulyhed members of the I'ntted
states aeoats la hare to aee that I go
hack. And yet. with sincere apology to
the senate and house of representatives.
1 want to say that I draw more Inspira
tion from you than I do from them.
'They, like myself, are only servants of
Ihe people of the United States. Our
sinews consist In yohr sympathy and sup
port and our renewal comes from contact
with you and with the strong movements
of publlo opinion in this country. That la
the reason why I, for one. would prefer
that our thought should not too often
crow the ocean, but shuld renter them
selves upon the policies n1 duties ot tho
united States.
Keep Moral Powder lrr.
"If we think of the United Htates when
the time comes we shall know how this
country can eerve the world. I will bor
row a very Interesting phrase from a din
tlnguishcd gentleman of my acquaintance
and beg that you will keep ofir moral
powder dry.
'But I have come here on Jackson day.
If there are republicans present I hope
they will feel tho compelling Influences
ot such a day. There was nothing mild
snout Andrew Jackson: that Is the reason
I spoke of the 'compel"" Influences of
tle day.' Andrew Jackson was a forty
right man who believed everything he did
believe In fighting earnest And really,
ladles and gentlemen. In publlo life that
is the only sort of man worth thinking
about for a moment.
If I was not ready to flsht for every,
thing t believe In, I would think it my
duty to go back and take a back seat
I like, therefore, to breathe the air of
T.fc.nn dv. I Ilk to ue remind.
n..., 'of democracy
believe have come to lifo again in
time.
' Trouble wb HrpnMcn.
The United States had almost forgot
ten that It must keep Us fighting ardor
,n behalf of mankind when Andrew Jack
8on became prepidrnt; -o will no
tice that wh-er the United Rate,
fcrgcts Its ardor for mankind, a demo
crat 1- elects president The trouble
with the republican party 4a that It has
not had a new iea for thirty years. I
am not speaking as a politician: 1 a
speaking as a historian. I have looked
for new Ideas In the records and I have
not found any proceeding from the re
publican ranka. They have had leaders
'fronv time to time who suggested new
Ideas, but they never did anything to
i arry them out I suppose there was no
haara In their talking, provided they
could not do anything. Therefore, when
was necesaary tt say that we have
i talked about things long enough, which
It was necessary to do and the time had
iVri .them. It was Indispensable
that a democrat should he elected prest-
4ent,'"'; '.' .1?. '
"l would not peak with disrespect of,
the republican party. I always speak
with great respect of the past-the past
was necessary to the present; and was
a sure prediction of the future. The re
publican Party Is aUll a covert and refuge
tor those who are. afraid, for those who
want to consult their grandfathers about
sverything. You wUI notice that moat
of the' advice taken br the republican
party ia taken from gentlemen old
enough to be grandfathers; and that
when they claim that reaction has
taken place, they react to the re-election
o? the oldeat members of their party.
They will not trust the youngsters. They
are afraid the youngsters may have
something up their sleeve,
"You will see, therefore, that I have
. coma to you In the spirit of Jackson
day. I got very tired staying in Wash
ington and saying sweet thlnga I
wanted to come out and get In contact
with you once more what I really
thought-- ...
Not ttnoaarh Regalars.
"Jly frienda, what I particularly want
you to observe Is this, that politics in
this country doee not depend any longer
upon the regular members of either
party.- There are not enough regular re-
publicans In this c ntry to take and
hold national power; and I must lmme
diately add there not enough regular
democrats in this country to do it, either.
This country is guided and its policy Is
determined by the Independent voter; and
' I have come t ak you how we can best
prove to the Independent voter that the
instrument ho needs In the democratic
party and that It would be hopeless for
him to attempt to sue" tha republican
party. I do not' have to prove It; I ad
mit It. ,
"What seems to me perfectly evident
. Is this; that if you made a rough reckon-
InaTyou would have to admit that only
about .one-third of the republican party
is progressive; and you would also have
to admit that about two-thirds of the
democratic party Is progressive. There
for the independent progressive voter
finds a great deal more company in the
democratic ranks than in the republican
ranks. I cay a great deal more because
there sre .democrats ho are sitting on
the breeching strap; there are democrats
who are holding back. There are demo-
Keep Ycur Lungs Strong
Tola advice is cVxsbly important with
the knowledge that every three minutes
some one in the United States succumbs
to consumption and many rcfuae to
realise they are afflicted until it is too late.
It m after colds or sickness, from over
work., coafininjr duties or when general
weakness exists that tubercular yerms
thrive becsaae the resistive powers of
the body are weakened.
Only with fresh air, sunshine and
abundant rich blood can one hope to

crsts who are nervous. I dare say they
were born with that temperament
An Animated Conservative.
"And I respect the conservative temper.
I claim to lie an animated conservative
myself; because being a conservative I
understand to mean a man. not only who
preserves what Is best In the nation, but
who sees that inorder to preserve It
you dare not stand still, but im;st move
forwani. For the virtue of America Is
not statical; It Is dynamic. AU forces
of America are forces In action .or else
they are forces of inertia.
jWhat I want to point out to you, and
I believe that thla Is what the whale
country la beginning to precelve. Is this,
that there Is a larger body of men In tlic
regular ranka of the democratic rarty
who believe the progressive policies of
our day and means to see them carried
forward and perpetuated, than there Is
In the ranka of the republican party.
Jfow can It be otherwise, gentlemen?
The semocratlc party, and only the demo
crats party, has carried out tho policies
which the progressive people of this
country have desired. There is not a
single great act of this preeent great
congress which has not bean carried: out
In obedience to tho public opinion of
America: and the public of America Is
not going to permit any body of men to
go backward with regard to these great
mtters.
One Instance.
"Let me instance a single thing: I
want to a-k the busings men here pres
ent. If this is not tho first January In
their recollection that did not bring a
money stringency fof the time being,
because of the necessity of paying out
great sums of money by way pf divi
dends and the other settlements, which
come at the first of the year? I have
asked the bankers If that happened this
year and they say. 'No, It did not hap
pen; It could not happen under the fed
eral reserve act.' We have emancipated
the credits' of this country, and. If there
Is anybody here wno will doubt that,
the other policies that have given guar
antee to this country, that there will bo
freo competition, are policies which this
country will never allow to be reversed.
"I have taken a lonji time, ladles and
gentlemen, to select tho federal trade
commission, because l wanted to choose
men and be sure that I hud chosen men
who would bo really serviceable to the
business men of this ccuntry, great as
well as small, the rank ami file. These
things have been done and will never
bo undone. They wore talked about and
talked about with futility, until a demo
cratic congress attempted and achieved
them.
Still en Trial.
"But the democratic party is not to
suppose that it la don with the busi
ness. ' The democratic party U still on
trial. The democratic jwrtyr still has to
prove to the Independent voters of this
country not only that It believes in these
things, but that it will continue to work
along these lines and that it will not
allow any enemy of thee thlnga to break
its ranka. Thl country is, not going to
use any party that can not do contin
uous and consistent team work. If any
.group of men ahould dare to break the
solidarity of the democratic team for
any purpose or from any motive, theirs
will be a most unenviable notoriety, and
a responsibility, which will bring deep
bitterness to them. The only party that
is servtcable to a nation is a party that
can hold absolutely together and march
with the discipline and with the aest of a
conquering host
"I am not saving these things, because
I doubt that tbe democratic party will
be able-to do these things, but because
I believe that as leader, for the time
being of that party, I can promise tho
country that it mill do these things. I
know my colleagues at Washington; I
know their spirit and their purposes, and
I know that they have the same emotion,
the same high emotion of public service
that I hops I have.
Tribute t, Ilooslern.
"I wart at this Juncture, to pay my
tribute of respect and of affectionate ad
miration for the two great democratic
senators from the state of Indiana. I
have never had to He awake nights won
dering what they were going to do.N And
the country Is not going to trouble Itself,
ladles and gentlemen, to lie awake nights
and wonder what men are going to do.
If thoy have to do that they will choose
other men, and that ia all there Is to the
business. Team work all the time ia what,
they are going to demand of us, and that
Is our individual as well as our collective
responsibility. That is what Jackson
stood for. If a man will not play in the
team, then he does not belong to the
team. You see I have spent a large part .
ot my life in college and I know what a I
team means when I see It;- and I know j
what the captain of a team must have :
If lie Is going to win. So It Is no Idle j
figure with me. j
CarrrlasT Out Program. j
"Now what la their duty? You say j
'hasn't this congress carried out a great
program? Yes, It baa carried out a great ',
program. It has had the most remarkable
record that any congress since the civile
war has had, and I say the civil war be- J
cause I have not had time to think about j
those before the civil war. But we are :
living at an extraordinary moment The ;
world has never been In the condition that 1
it is now In, my frienda Half of the .
world is on fire. Only America among the i
great powers of the world la free to gov
ern ita own life; and all the world Is look-
ing to America to serve its economic need,
and w hile this Is happening, what Is go-j
Ing on? ;
. Ocean Rates G I n. j
"Do you know, gentlemen, that the ;
ocean freight rates have gone up in aome j
Instances to ten times their ordinary fig- i
ure? and that the farmera of the United
States, those who raise grain and those
who raise cotton these things that are
aa absolutely necessary to the world as j
to ourselves ranncc get any prom out
of the great prices that they are willing .
to pay for these things on the other side j
of the sea, because the whole profit is I
eaten up by the extortionate rates for I
ocean carriage? In the midst of this, the j
democrats propose a temporary measure ,
of relief In a shipping bill. 1
"The merchants and tbs farmers of this i
country must has ships to carry their
goods, and Just at tha present moment '
there ts no other way of getting them j
than through the instrumentsallty that i
ts suggested In the shipping bill:, snd I 1
hear it said in Wot hi:. e ton on all hnndu '
that the republtianr'.lii the l ulled rttea
ik nate mean to talk enough to make the
' I'S.ukc of thul Mil impossible.
) "Thrne sttU-sUiul friends of busiac.;e, j.
these men who say the democratic party
does not know what to do for business,
are saying, that the democrats shall do
nothing for business. I challenge them
to show their right to stand In the way
of the release of American products to
the rest of the world. Who commissioned
them, a minority, a lessening minority?
Perallarlty of Senate.
For thy will be in a greater minority
In tho next senate than in thla You
know it Is the peculiarity of that great
body that It has rules of procedure which
make It possible for a minority to defy
the nation; and these gentlemen are now
seeking to defy the nation and prevent
the release of American products to the
suffering world, which needs them more
than It ever needed them before. Their
credentials as friends of business and
frienda of America will be badly discred
ited if they succeed.
"If I were speaking from a selfish par
tisan point of view. 1 could wish nothing
better than that they could show their
true colors ss partisans and succeed, but
"am not quite so malevolent -as that
Pome o fthem are misguided; some of
them are blind; most of them are Ignor
ant. I would lather pray for thein than
ahuao them. But the great voice of
America ounht to make them understand
what they are said to be attempting now.
I haxe to say 'arc said to be attempting"
because they ' do not come and tell me
that they arc attempting them. I do not
know why; I would express my opinion
of them In parliamentary language but
I would express. I hope, no less plainly,
because couched In tho terms of courtesy.
This country la bursting Its Jacket, and
they am seeing to It that the Jacket la
not only' kept tight, but la revlted with
stecL
Proatam uf ierlce.
"The democratic party does know how
to serve buslnesa in this country and
Its future program Is a program of serv
ice. We havo cleared they decks. We
have laid the lines now on which business
that was to do the country harm shall
he slopped and an economic control which
was intolerable thatl be broken up. We
have emancipated America, but America
must do something with her freedom.
There are great bills pending In tho
United States Just now that have been
passed by the house of representatives
which were Intended as constructive
measures In behalf of business one great
measure which will make available the
enormous wuter powers of thla country
for the industry or it; another bill which
will unlock the resources of the public
domain, which the republicans desire to
have locked lip so that nebody could use
then
Always en lie 1. 14.
"The reason I say the republicans have
nnt had a new Idea In thirty years ts that
they have not known how to do anything
except alt on the lid. Now. If you can
release the steam so that It will drive
srvat Industries It Is not necessary to sit
on the lid. What we are trvlne to do
In the great conservation bill Is to try out
for the flrat time In the history of the
I'nlted State a system by which the
great reaoureea of thla country can be
used instead of being set aside ao that
no man can get at them. I shall watch
with a great deal of Interest what the
self-styled frienda of business try to do
to those bills.
"Do not misunderstand me. There are
some men on that side of the chamber
who understood the value of these things
and are standing valiantly by them, but
they are a ama'l minority. Tho majority
that Is atandlng by them Is on our side
of the chamber, and they are the frienda
of America.
Other Thlnga te Do.
"But there are other things which e
bar to do. Sometimes when I look
abroad, my friends, and see the great
mass of struggling humanity on that con
tinent It goes very much to my heart to
see how many men are at a disadvantage
and sre without guides and helpera Don't
you think It wculd bo a pretty good Idea
for the democratic party to undertake a
systematic method of helping the work
Ingmen of America? There la a very
Simple way In which they can help the
worklngmen. If you were, simply to es
tablish a great federal employment bu
reau It would do a great deal; through
tho federal amende which spread over
this country men could he directed to
those parta of the country, to those un.
dertakings, to thope tasks, where they
could find profitable employment The
labor of this country needs' to be guided
from opportunity to opportunity. We
proved It the other day.
"We aro told that In two states of the
union. Sn.flOO men were needed to gather
the crops. We suggested In a cabinet
meeting that the Department of Labor
should have printed Information about
this. In such form that It could he posted
up in the poritofflc.ea all over the I'nited
States; and that the Department of Labor
should get In touch with the labor de
partments of states, to that notice could
go out from them. What was the re
sult? Those SO.OOrt men were found and
were sent to the planes, where they got
profitable employment
Cos Not CJreat.
"I do not know anything that has hap
pened In my administration that made
mo heel happier than that that the pobs
anil tho men had been brought together.
It will not cost a great deal of money
and It will do a great deal of service
If the United States was to do such
things systematically and all thn year
rounds; and I, for my part, hone that j
It will do that. If I were wrttirg an I
