BRYAN BIRTHDAY BANQUET
(Continuod from Page 9.)
toward Naomi, "Whoro thou goest
I will go." I am interested in Ari
zona next to Nebraska. My only
son, who, by tho generosity of his
mother bears my full name, took his
young wife to that territory and I
appreciate the assurance that Sena
tor Owen's efforts have given us that
Arizona is soon to bo a state.
It was kind of my good friend
Kern to como to Lincoln to tako
part in this banquet. I could use
in regard to him tho words employed
by him to express his affection for
me. While I did not attempt to in
fluence the selection of a vice-president
I would have felt justified in
opposing the nomination of one in
whom I lacked confidence. I would
not have been willing to have my
life stand as the only obstacle be
tween tho government and those
representing policies which I re
garded as dangerous to it. But I
had implicit confidence in Kern, and
had wo been elected and death had
como to mo I could havo faced it
without fear, confident that all .would
bo well with him at tho helm.
And how shall I thank Mr. Clark
for his generous words? I have
known him for eighteen years. I
havo watched him climb the ladder
of fame, round by round. I have
seen him grow in reputation as an
orator while others have been driven
into obscurity. I have seen him win
reputation as a parliamentarian in
his battle with the biggest men on
the other side. I have seen him
bring our party together and throw
them as a united phalanx against the
opposition, and I believe that he is
entitled to a large part of the credit
for the congressional victory we have
won. I am as proud of him as his
wife, and have as much confidence
In his integrity as his son.
I hope you will not think that I
accept at face value all of the kind
things they have said about me to
night. Possibly I might place too
high an estimate upon myself if I
accepted their words even at fifty
cents on the dollar, the value that
tho republicans used to give our
silver dollars. I do not allow these
eulogies to inflate my self-esteem or
to enlarge my head. I know how
small my part has been in the great
work that has been done by the pro
gressive olement of the country.
In the play known as "Chanta
cleer" the qock confided to his sweet
heart, tho golden pheasant, that his
crowing brought the dawn. He felt
tho great responsibility resting upon
him and not until the dawn came
one morning before he crowed was
tho delusion dispelled. I shall not
make the mistake that the cock did.
I havo never imagined that I could
bring tho dawn. Man is but a small
unit In a very great crowd. It would
require more than the efforts of one
human being to usher in the great
political revolution which is now
working its way through the country.
The cock ought to have been satisfied
to awaken the people that they might
see the dawn, and I am satisfied to
call attention to tho progress that
is now apparent on every side. If
I deserve any credit at all, it is for
having seen the rays of tho rising
sun a little earlier than some others
did, and for having called lustily and
long to those, who were asleep.
But surely I cannot claim much
credit for having allied myself -with
awakened conscience cannot but
purify business, society and politics.
How different tho situation is to
day from the situation that con
fronted us in 1896. I took my wife
with mo when I went to New York to
accept tho nomination. I wanted the
east to know her. "Whatever doubt
I may havo had In regard to my own
ability to discharge the duties of tho
high ofllco for which I was nomi
nated, I never had any doubt about
Mrs. Bryan's ability to meet the re
quirements of the position which my
election would have given her. But
f could not but notice tho fact that,
when a reception was tendered us
at one of the hotels, scarcely a wo
man went by whose appearance did
not indicate that she shared with her
husband in the support of the family.
Then we had to rely largely upon
those whose necessities drove them
to seek relief from the conditions
that oppressed them. They were
fighting for life. One .day as I was
traveling through Pennsylvania a
man met me on the train and warmly
grasping my hand said, "Mr. Bryan,
'you are a Presbyterian and I am a
Catholic but I pray for you every
night. You stand between me and
ruin." Whether he was mistaken
or not In his estimate of my power
to help him he felt that he needed
help. Now an entirely different situ
ation confronts us. The grinding
conditions of 1896 are no longer with
us. The increase in the world's supply
of money has rescued us from the
destructive influence of falling prices.
Now, an increasing number of people
are viewing politics from an altruis
tic standpoint. They are seeking re
forms not because they are them
selves threatened but because they de
sire that the world shall be made
better and that conditions shall be
more favorable for the masses. Ru
dolph Spreckles of San Francisco
spoke here a few days ago and told
the story of his entrance into poli
tics. In Boston Louis Brandeis has
passed through the same experience
and without compensation assisted In
protecting the shippers from an at
tempted increase of $27,000,000 in
freight rates. 'George Fred Williams
of Massachusetts was one of the
earliest of this hand of disinterested
patriots, if you can call any man dis
interested when the welfare of his
country is at stake. Williams risked
ostracism by his college friends and
business associates rather than desert
the cause of the common people.
Frederick Townsend Martin is one
of the latest recruits to this growing
army. He is now warning the idle
rich of the menace of their conduct.
Everywhere we see evidence of the
raising of the ethical standard, and
tnose who stand for reforms hav.e
more reason than ever before to feel
sure of victory.
What matters it that I have suf
fered defeat? The cause is growing.
What matters-it that the special in
terests threaten to prevent my going
to the next national convention? I
can stay at home If the party so de
cides. God does not require mo to
go to a national convention but he
requires me to be a man every day
of my life. I have gone to conven
tions in the past because those who
sent me thought I was needed there.
If our party does not need me now
I have no reason to urge for going.
At Nikko, Japan, there is an
avenue several miles long shaded on
either side by stately trees. It used
to bo the custom of the lords t.r hHnr
their gifts to the temple, most of
partnership with nature." They
labor most successfully who join
themselves to the forces that are
eternal, and these forces are easily
discovered. Tho forces back of truth
and righteousness are all powerful,
and always at work, and one cannot
fail if he but espouses truth and
adheres to it.
But this is not my night to speak,
nor is one o'clock in the morning
the hour for speaking. I have shared
the joy that previous speeches have
"brought to you, and can not express
in words my gratitude for your con
gratulations and your words of cheer.
The only cloud that casts its shadow
over this hright occasion is the fear
that no future celebration of my
birthday can equal this. But what
ever may follow I shall not forget
the kindness shown by the club, the
speakers and the audience tonight.
Judge William M. Reed, of Pa
ducah, has announced his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for
governor of Kentucky.
