Lntion that I am going to com-
",.o this secret method to you
hat you may test it on any person
'. . V-nannt. here tonight. If I want
o find out whether a man is a demo
crat or an aristocrat, x iu i .
o on side and I gradually get him
around to a point wiiuru x uuu u
l' . .i, ruhlo with him. and then I
cad him to that story of Lazarus
Hid Dives, how nazaruB uie n
11 . . !.. fn frnm Dives' table.
cphmjs tiiuu . , : , 7. A .
md when I have toia mm mat awry
r ,,.. tn pa what he says, and by
what he says I can tell whether at
art he is a democrat or an anaiu-
,,.i if tin is a uuiuuuttt u dujo,
mi,,,, iinri it is that we have any
body like Lazarus, who has to live
on numbs,' and then he organizes a
i!ioement to increase the numoer oi
ni.ima 3n nvervbody will have a table
of his own and no one will have to
llp on the crumbs that tan irom me
tables of others. That is what he
,i if he is at heart a democrat.
But what does he say if he is at heart
Pan aristocrat? There is just one
iihintt ho will sav and he will say it
I every time without fail, 'What a
lucky thing it was for Lazarus that
'there was a Dives near.' (Laugh
ter )
"This distinction, I repeat, is fun
tinmontn.1. There are just these tw.o
Tinints of view from whicli people
view all things that affect human
progress. The democrat believes
lint. Rop.ifitv is built from the bottom:
the aristocrat believes that society
is suspended from the top. And be
cause they differ in their point of
view they differ just ais much when
they come to consider questions be
fore the public. The man who be
lives that society Is built from the
bottom will tell you that you must
legislate for all the people, and he
has confidence that the prosperity of
the people will find its way up
through every class that rests upon
the masses. But the aristocrat will
tell you, and just as honestly, that
you ought to legislate for the well-to-do
and then be patient and wait
while their prosperity leaks through
on those below. This is the one
great issue that has to be met every
where in this world. You can go
into any city or any country and the
great issue is between the few who
ask for special privileges and the
many who ask for equal rights and
opportunities. (Applause.)
"I can go further than Jefferson
could go, because we have had a
hundred years of history since.
Jefferson declared what was true
then and has been true ever since,
that in every country you would find
these two parties, one democratic in
spirit that was trying to bring the
government nearer to the people,
and the other aristocratic in 'spirit,
trying to obstruct every step toward
possible government, but I can add
what he could not" have then added,
except in faith, and yet he believed
it for his faith in the people was sub
lime. But now we have the history
of nations to support us when we
say not only that you will find these
two parties in every land, but when
Wo say that In every country the
party that is espousing the cause of
the people is the growing paTty, and
the party of the aristocracy the
dying party the world around. (Ap
plause.) "If time permitted I might in this
oase bring illustrations from every
mna. But I guess I had better not
spoak of what is going on in other
lands. (Laughter.) I ventured not
long ago to make some reference to
what was going on in one country,
and I found there was some criti
cism, although I am prepared to fur
nish very authoritative precedents if
I am called to account for what I
said. I am ablo to show that I have
not gone further than men in simi
lar positions have gone in other
countries as well as in this, But,
The Commoner.
my friends, I only ask you to look
back over the history of the great
nations of the world, aye, of all the
nations of the world, and see how
much has been accomplished in the
last ten years. Seo how many
triumphs democracy has to her
credit in the other nations of the
world within the last decade and you
will see then how many illustrations
might be drawn to support the
proposition that everywhere the
cause of popular government is
spreading.
"But sure.ly I will be permitted to
speak of the growth of popular gov-
13
ornment in my own country, and 1
am glad, I am glad that in no other
part of tho world has faith in tho
people been more abundantly mani
fested than in our own beloved land,
and it is a very pleasant part of my
subject tonight to call your attention
to some of tho evidences of tho
growth of popular government in
this country, and I commence with
the best evidence of it, the election
of senators by direct vote of tho
people (applause.) It will bo my
official duty within a very short time
to announce to the country the adop
tion of an amendment to tho con
stitution which will chango tho
method of eloctlon and provide for
tho election of United States sena
tors by direct vote of tho peoplo. I
boliovo thirty-three states have al
ready ratified it, and there is no
doubt of tho remaining three. Wo
do not know just what stoles they
will be, but tho sentiment is so over
whelming that no ono can doubt that
within a short time this change will
bo made. In fact, you people of
Illinois will have the proud distinc
tion of having had tho last contested
senatorial election that any legisla
tive body will over havo a chance to

Pleasure, Last Longer and Cost Less to Run, Than Any Car Built

every requirement. It carries eight people easily and con
veniently, with plenty of room besides for lunch baskets
or hand baggage. Its seats, (which are deep and com
fortable) can be easily removed by one person in a couple
of minutes, and the wagonbox body utilized for baggage,
merchandise, or anything that the ordinary road or spring
wagon would be used for, up to a load of 1500 pounds.
Its Riding Comfort and Ease of Operation
Its excellent springs, light weight (considering its
capacity) and itsperfectly balanced body, make this car
unsurpassed for comfortable riding qualities, and as
easy to steer as a light roadster.

that can pass the White Combination Car on the road.
And even when loaded to full capacity this White will
climb hills at a steady road pace, that the ordinary car
will have difficulty in climbing at all.
The Reliable, Economical White Engine

stand, how simple, quiet, powerful and economical is
the White engine. It was the first, and is still, the only
practical long stroke, cast-in-one-piece engine in this
country.. Its fuel consumption is so low under all con
ditions, that regardless of price, it is the most economi
cal engine made, and its performances in daily service
in thousands of White cars is worth investigating, In
fact, the rise in the price of gasoline is not felt by White
owners. Its compact simplicity with no parts exposed
to dirt or injury, removes all of the chief sources of care
and trouble, and necessitates little or no attention being
given to it.
Body Upholstery and All Fixtures Beautifully Finished
The finish, material and workmanship on this car,
is in every detail true to the White stnndard, the high
est. The spring seats are roomy and comfortable, and are
upholstered with the best leather, while the body finish
is done with that attention to detail that has made the
White cars famous for their excellence.

The chassis, including engine, transmission, axles,
gears, bearings and wheels, is constructed with the same
care and excellent material that has characterized
White products for over fifty years and has made
White automobiles of every design second to none in tho
world.
Consider What This Car Means To Yon
Stop and think to what practical and pleasurable
uses this car can be put, both in hauling and touring.

touring car, a spring wagon, a service wagon and two
teams of horses combined. Just write us today or use
