“Pat” Harrison Tells Democrats
Party Must Win for Good
of Entire Nation
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18.—The democratic party Is the only party to which
progressive elements can look for direction and leadership, Senator Harrison
of Mississippi declared tonight ]n officially notifying Governor Charles W.
Bryan of his nomination for the vice presidency.
Omttlng any direct reference to a third ticket In the field, Senator Har
rison, who was temporary chairman of the democratic notional convention,
declared the national campaign must be contested between a "reactionary”
republican organlzatlbn and a "progressive" democratic ticket.
vv ntucvcr mueptJiiufiiue oim in tty
possess and however nonpartisan one
may be.” Senator Harrison said, "He
must know that In the coming Novem
ber election either the democratic or
republican ticket will triumph. The
American people themselves must de
cide between the republican and the
democratic party as to which will con
trol the government for the next four
years.”
Says O. 0. P. Disrupted.
The senator assailed the republican
party as "hopelessly disrupted, with
out plan or purpose, courage or co
hesion,” and declares It to he domi
nated by reactionary leadership. He
reviewed the record of the democratic
party and exalted the Davls-Bryan
combination as one to which the
progressive and Independent voters
could look to "administer government
honestly, protect the rights of the
masses and solve the economic prob
lems of the day.”
After warmly praising the accom
plishments of John W. Davis, the
party standard bearer, ns a member
of the house, as solicitor general and
as ambassador to (Great Britain, Mr.
Harrison paid a tribute to Governor
Bryan for the "courageous manner”
In which he handled Nebraska's coal
and gasoline situations, and for his
efforts to lower state taxes nnd to
economize In the administration of
state affairs.
"The long list of progressive
achievements that has filled the path
way of your short administration,"
he said, "reflects credit upon the
common sense and patriotism of your
citizenship.”
The republican party,” he con
tlnued. "Is reactionary because rear
tlonary leadership controls It, doml
nates It, directs 1t,
"It cannot look, therefore, for sup
port In this campaign from the
progressive and Independent ele
ments of the country. The demo
cratlo party Is progressive, ss It has
always been, and It Is the only party
organization to which progressives
can look for direction and leadership.
Claims Victory Necessary.
"The democratic party Is today the
only agency through which the gov
ernment can function In an orderly
manner during the next four years.
It has proven Its ability to harmo
nize differences, unite efforts nnd get
results through teamwork, both while
In control and while In the minority.
“If the republican ticket should
again triumph the American people
will experience the same antago
nisms, the same confusion, the same
uncertainties that have characterized
the party for four years. How can
business contemplate with compla
cency such a situation? And have
not the farmers of the west tasted
enough of the bitter dregs of this
administration to know that If there
should be a recurrence of the disas
trous depression through which they
have Just passed there would be little
hope of extracting from the confu
sion and disorder Incident to such an
administration the slightest opportu
nity for assistance or relief.
"Congress, through the coalition of
progressive independents and demo
crats, and over the protest of a reac
tionary republican leadership in the
congress, might be able to pass some
legislation, hut It would he met, as It
