HARMON SPEAKS
AT OMAHA
A Few Extracts From His
*
Address Friday Night.
Talks to Nearly
3000 People.
\
I Addressing an audience of near
ly 3,000 people , representative not
only of Omaha , but of all Nebraska
as well , Governor Judson Harmon
of Ohio spoke last night at the
Auditorium on the occasion of his
first visit to the democracy of this
state. He made full reply to his
detractors who have wantonly as
sailed him as the candidate of
"Wall street. He met the attack ,
not by denunciation and personal
abuse , but by a dignified presen
tation of his record as refutation
of the charges against him.
"You cannot always place full
dependence on what others may
say of a man , nor in what he says
about himself , but you can trust
the record/ ' said the governor , as
he presented a number of very in
teresting bits of authentic Ohio
history of the past few years dur
ing which he has been governor
of that state.
Many Visiting Democrats.
In the audience were several
hundred visiting democrats from
all sections of Nebraska , more
than half the counties in the state
being represented , while from
some points had come delegations
numbering from one to half a doz
en. There were many ladies in
the audience , and a noticeable
number of well known republi
cans , including several in official
life , but the greater part of the
gathering was made up of the rank
and file of the militant democracy-
On the stage were seated up
wards of 300 prominent members
of the party and those who have
been active in the ereral and
precinct organizations of the
party.
The audience was liberal with
its applause , cordially greeting
the speakers as they appeared on
the platform , according Senator
Hitchcock a pronounced ovation
as he was presented by the chair
man , and giving the guest of the
evening almost as enthusiastic a
reception when introduced and
following it with even more em
phatic evidences of approval at
the conclusion of his somewhat
lengthy address. *
Mr. Harmon said in part :
"The republican tariff has been
the ch"e breeder of trusts and
combinations to suppress compe
tition and raise prices. It has en
couraged extravagance as an ex
cuse for high duties. It lias ag
gravated the inequalities in wealth
which have spread socialism among
the people. Its reform on demo
cratic principles will accomplish
more for the welfare of the coan-
try at large than any other single
measure.
What is better worth while than
really to help make our free in
stitutions bring forth the good
they were founded to secure ? I
never could understand how any
body can miss this ennobling view
of public olfice and rest content
with being a mere place hoi lor
while economics and practical re
forms are suggesting them
selves all around him , especially
in times when the fast growing
cost of living strains the resources
of almost every home.
A TREASONABLE OFFENSE ,
v'And standing for or permit
ting special privileges or advant
a * es of any kind through the
action of a government maintain
ed by all the people for their equal
benefit is an offense little short of
treason in th'e eyea of the demo
crats. These are matters of right
and wrong with us and not of mere
economics.
The intimation that I ever was
or" could be , actively or passively ,
guilty of this ofi'ense I resent as a
a slander without excuse or mitiga- , i
tion. I would rather be charged-J
with theft , because that would involve - , <
volve no b'etrayjl'of trust reposed i
mycouatrymea and would ad- '
mit of restitution.
"It would take too long to cite
the many reforms and wholesome
steps which have made notable the
'only democratic administration
Ohio has had for almost twenty
years. Everybody is pleased with
them except the republican ring
who for years throve and fattened
by the various devices framed to
pervert public office to serve their
selfish purposes , and democrats
who yearned to carry on the same
businesa at the old stand when the
people again turned to our party
for relief. As its chief represen
tative I could not gain the approv
al of such men without a betrayal
of my trust and I admit I did not
try to gain it. I did not want it
at the price and do not want it
naw.
naw."When
"When with an uplifted hand I
took the obligation of my office I
knew it ran to every citizen of the
state , but I confess I seemed to
hear the faithful democrats all ov
er the state calling , 'Now , govern
or , is the time to justify our faith. "
"From whatever state our na
tional leader may come this year ,
Ohio has furnished the object les
son for the campaign. The con
ditions at her capitol were like
those in Washington. The reve
nues were raised by taxation un
fairly apportioned and spent with
with wastefulness and extrava
gance. The government had fallen
into the hands of men who administered -
istored it for their own advantage
and that of others whom it was to
their interest to favor in order to
prolong their control. Special
privilege was rampant on all sides.
There was a strong suspicion of
graft , great and small , in the gross
form of common stealing and un
der the various disguises which
skillful rascality employs.
PLEA FOR HARMONY.
Shall we lose the advantage of
republican dissensions by permit
ting dissensions to ripen in our
own ranks ? The former are due
to revolt against the very policies
the republican party has long
pursued. There is no sound reason
for serious disagreement among
democrats. The wishes and am
bitions of individuals have not a
feather's weight compared with
the interests of the party and its
bright prospects. There are no
present vital national questions on
which all the democrats do not
substantially agree , and we shall
not attract confidence of the coun
try by letting such differences as
there may be about other matters
mar the party harmony , without
which and election cannot be won
nor an administration successfully
conducted. Let us have in essen
tials unity , in non-essentials lib
erty , in all things charity , and I
am confident we shail'soon see our
country prosperous and contented
under a democratic adminis
tration. "
HITCHCOCK DISCUSSES ISSUE
BETWEEN HIMSELF AND BRYAN
Preceding Governor Hrrmon ,
United States Senator G. M.
Hitchcock spoke in part :
Fellow Citizens : My presence
here tonight is for two purpose ? .
The first is to join others in wel
coming to Nebraska the great
democratic governor of Ohio. He
stands before the country as one
of the leading candidates for the
democratic nomination for presi
dent , backed by half a million
democrats in his own state and by
a great following everywhere.
But 1 am also here for another
reason and that is for the purpose
of briefly considering the issues of
this primary struggle.
I deny the right of a delegate
at large to vote for any other can
didate for president than the one
he is instructed to vote for by the
state. I deny the right of any
delegate from a district to vote
for any other candidate than the
one he is instructed to vote for by
the democrats of his district.
This is progre esive democracy. It
is what we have been fighting for.
It is the rule of the people. The
day has gone by in Nebraska when
a man can go the national con
vention and not represent the (
people who sent him there. The
day has gone by when he can vote
simply for his own preference.
From now on the vote of a dele
; gate in a convention must repre
. sent the wishes of the voter as ex
pressed in the primary.
| This is the issue between Mr.
Bryan and myself. It is of small
importance who ray first choice is
j : for president. It is not of great
importance who Mr. Bryan's first
choice for president is. Neither
of us personally is entitled to a
position in the democratic national
convention. Either of us who
goes to a national convention goes
there as a representative of demo
crats of Nebraska , and he goes
there under obligations to carry
out the instructions which those
democrats give him at the balk t
box. This is what Mr. * Bryan in
the past has always contended for.
It is what I have contended for.
The difference between Mr. Bryan
and me at this time is : That I
propose to live up to it in letter
and in spirit , and he proposes to
repudiate the law because he is
afraid that Governor Harmon will
carry the Nebraska primaries.
Now do the democrats of Ne
braska believe in the primary law ?
First an attempt was made to
nullify the primary law by deals
and bargains and combines. I
was asked to go into a deal by
which Mr. Bryan and I and two
others were to be elected delegates
at large without a contest. The
scheme was to crowd out all others
who might desire to run and thus
deprive the democrats at the pri
maries of an opportunity to
select four delegates. I declined
to be a party to such a combine.
It looked to me like a conspiracy
to cheat the voters of their choice
and to restore Ue old convention
methods of boss selection.
Then to fill my place they hur
riedly circulated a petition for
Judge Westover and at the
eleventh hour put him in the com
bine in my place.
Bernard McNeny's Introduction.
The Harmon club of Nebraska
are humble members of the rank
and file of Nebraska democracy.
We believe that democracy is the
eternal protest of the taxpayer
against the tax gatherer and we
have labored with our neighbors
in the past to vote the democratic
ticket. We have been accustomed ,
with other democrats , to gather at
the telegraph and newspaper of
fices on election night and hear
the familiar news at 8 o'clock that
the republicans had carried New
York ; at 8:30 : that they had car
ried Ohio ; at 9 o'clock that the
democrats had given up the fight.
It was little comfort for us to learn
the day after , that Nebraska and
South Dakota were still in doubt
and that our leaders nad renewed
their chautauqua contracts.
The Harmon club of Nebraska
wants a candidate who will at least
keep the enemy guessing until
midnight election day. Nebraska
democrats are not sheep , stupidly
and unthinkingly waiting to be
led or driven.
We believe that the democratic
voters of Nebraska are the sub
jects of no man ; that they are free
men with free thoughts , free
votes. And he alone can lead our
hearts who will bow to our will
when that will is fairly expressed
at the primary. If there is a
democrat in this state who fancies
that he is wiser or better than the
combined intelligence and virtue
of the democratic majority of the
state , his place is no longer in the
democratic ranks , but in a party
which believes in the government
of the many by the privileged few.
It is now my pleasure to intro
duce to you the man who in season
and out of season has done more
than any other to make and keep
Nebraska a democratic state , the
able editor , the profound thinker ,
the sagacious statesman , the gen
uine and loyal democrat , Senator
Hitchcock.
