This plant too, wai given up and It waa finally agreed that the caucus should be held Immediately after the adjournment of the first acsslm of the convention. At 11 o'rl .rk, t"hi hour set for convening, s aT-ruly a hundred delegates were In their placos and It was evident there would bo (ju't'j a delay In beginning the day a pro- ceding. The tommltteo on permanent organlxat.on hid been ready with Its report ever since Tuca.lajr night, simply holding It for ra I IKHtlon after the credentials committee hid completed Us work. Hall DcslM to Fill. The hall began to fill more rapidly after 11 o'clock, each delegation pouring Its hun urclfl Into the Auditorium, which already heian to ferl the effect of the midsummer hut outside. Anticipating a long session many of the delegates doffed their coats toon after arrival and a shirt sleeve con xcntlon was In prospect. .

At ll:3n o'clock Chairman Boll began the ten minutes of hrim-vicrlnn' with his gnvel. which he hits tliut far found necessary In calling the cmven'lnn to crder. He kept up a monotonous ti.-imnir-rlntf like that of a Cooper drlvlnc a lioop'on a barrel, but after a time he guve up and retired. Then ho cnr.ie back to the front, and drove on anothi r hoop, and followed this with another l.rtrf rcrt. A third" peil d of rapping, however, be pan to proiluce Homo effect and the temporary' chairman was aide to make hlmsolf heard as he ordered the aisles cleared, and re peated the sentence "getitlemrn, tiiko your seats." Prarer of Rabltl Koch. At 11:40 the convention was quiet and ins cnauman announced that the priyor would be made by Mnbbl Samuel Koch of Seattle. The Invocation was a follows: Oreat God, weakness Isr arrogant, but alrsiujth Is modest. 1'tety treads upon the heels of earnestness. Proportionate to the task Is the consciousness of Thee. Assem blages charged with a mission potent wltn possibilities need Thy guidance much. And so we who arc assembled here In the In terest of democracy,, once again begin our sessions in prayer to Thee. Our praver la no poll no capitulation to popuiur supersti tion. It Is the fervent utterance of earnest, souls, conscious of the grcstnena of their task and seeking strength and light In The- ....... A Klorlous past confers no present moral lien on the future greatness. In eery pre sent moment a notion miist vindicate Its right to live. If the average of the Indi vidual citizenship, be. high; If civic right eousness he strong, progress Is sure. Par tisanship may hasten this progress: parti aanshlp may retard this progress, but par tisanship cannot undo this progress. 13c neath our temperamental difference In poli tics Is embedded the foundation stone of character orj which national strength rests. Righteousness alone exalteth a na tion. Vouchsafe, O Clod, that we, who are here In convention assembled may appre ciate that noble action Is the greatest prlr.o We can offer Thee. Partisanship Is not alwaya patriotism. Liberty is not license. The bursting of bom.be need not mean a battle or the waving of flugs a victorv. Shouting Is no proof of the Integrity of a cause, nor silence of Its baseness. I.ovsltv to convictions rely not on meretricious means. Long after the delegates here shall have been gathered to their fathers, the truth they helped proclaim ahsll live. Hat the specious In their action shall be Interred with their bones. We are now within the afterglow of the Independent day. One hundred and thirty-three years of notable history are looking down upon ia. The makers of oi:r natln In In cen tury; past, puss In nrrsy he'ore us. What ever their party affiliation thev nnd this In oonimon a representative Americanism. Orant.

When the prayer was concluded, Chair man IV.

Clayton of Alabama for perma nent chairman, t'rey Woodson of Ken tucky for secretary and John I. Martin of Missouri as sergesnt-at-arma. In all other inspects the temporary organization was made permanent. The chair, after the unanimous adoption of the report, appointed Senator Mc Creary, Lewis Nixon of New Tork and J. E. Baker of California as members of a committee to escort the permanent chair man to the platform. Chairman Clayton, aa aoon as he was se-n advancing toward the platform, was cheored to the echo and the uproar was redoubled as he war Introduced to the con vention by Temporary Chairman Bell. Three little girls In red, white and blue dress(S, were helped to the platform be fore Mr. Clayton began to speak. In their arms were large bunches of American Realties that almost smothered the little tots. The roses were presented to the per mv,int chairman amid much cheering and then, one by one. the children wero lifted to the desk and Mr. Clayton kissed tnem in turn. Cheering and laughter continued during the pretty little ceremony and a gale of merriment fllW the hall when some called o it "Hohson, Kibton." Tho llttla girls were Mirers Irene, Catherine and Ada Smith, all of Denver. Mr. Clayton called out first appluuse when, after thanking the conven tion for the privilege of presiding over Its deliberations, he declared with emphasis. "This Is a democratic year." . . Some of Speech Omitted. Wucn he came to that part of his address deall.ig with the trusts, Mr. Clayton omit ted i. large paragraph covering a message so it to congress by President Roosevelt on the subject of trust regulation. "I will not weary you by reading this," he said; "you can read it In the newa pafers." Tho task of delivering his address, It waa apjtrent, waa telling somewhat on Mr. C'lay'on. He Is a speaker of emphatic, forceful delivery, but the heat was great. The sweat was streaming down hla face and his collar was fast losing Its shape. His energy, however, waa unebated. despite his evident fatigue, and he continued stead ily, save for occasional periods during whlc t he wiped his eyeglasses rnd mopped his tnrehend. As he approached the end of his Mr. Clayton read more and more rarldly with the evident Intention of finishing as quickly as possible This was duo, how. ever, to his own desire, and waa not caused by any sign of Inattention on the part of the convention, which continues to accord him marked attention. Loud cheers of approval greeted Chair man Clayton as ho concluded, and tho applause was continued for several minutes The delegates stood upon their chairs and tossed "hats and handkerchiefs Into tho air. While the demonstration in honor of Mr. Clayton waa In progress, the doors of the convention' hall were opened, and the Jef ferson club of St. Louis was marshaled for a parade through the aisles. At the head of the line was a blue tanner bear ing "David R. Frajicia for vice president" It elicited much enthusiasm. The members attempted to countermarch in the narrow aisle. John- W. Kern of Indiana offered a mo tion providing for the appointment of three to ascertain when the committee on resolutions would be ready to report the platform. Tho motion was adopted and the chair appointed as the committee Messrs. Kern of Indiana, Pace of Alabama and Mack of New Torlt. . "Pending the Investlf atloa and report of tho committee," cald Mr. Clayton, "the chair takes the liberty of Inviting x-y address the convention Mr. Raymond Roblna of Chicago." Mr. Roblna was greetej with applau-e. Seeeh Barred. Mr. Robins was Interrupted several times aft.-r speaking for ten minutes, and when Churman Clayton called the convention to order, one delegate respemded: "All right but don't talk too long." Mr. Koblns soon concluded. A motion was mado by an Oktuhoma delegate that "George" W. Littleton cf New York bo Invited to addruaa the con vention. This was taken to refer to Martin W. Littleton, who four years ago In St Louis placed Judge Alton 11 Parker of New York in nomination for the presidency. The members of the New York dole-gallon accepted the Invitation to Mr.- Littleton as a compliment in which they shared, and they cheered him lustily as he mounted the rostrum. The speaker caught tie fsncy cf ti e con vention at once and hla remark that what ever waa the outcome of the convention New York would support the platform and nominee provoked a shriek of approval. All over the hall delegates sprang to their ftt. many tf the New York delegation taking part In the demonstration. Ctiarlej V. Murphy remained quietly in hla aeat, but nodded hla head In assent when aeverai of tha Tenneylvanla delegation Immediately arose and asked for recognition, but the roll call was completed, Tho New York, delegation, after a few words with their leader.

"I believe it is time for us to be tolerant of oacb other's opinions so that we may all unite to reatoro the government te the handa of tho democratic party. Let ua bury forever tho differences that have embittered ua. I bespeak a closer union of "Yankee Doodle' and Dixie," of Maine and Cali fornia, that victory nay be ours." Mr. Littleton's brief, but eloquent, ad dress was loudly cheered, and when bo had concluded there were calls from the gal leries for other apeakers, but Chairman Clayton admonished tho spectators thst they must bo In order or tho space would bo cleared. Wosoee of Conanltteoaaea. Tho clerk of the convention wss then di rected to read tho list of tho new national committee. When tbo name ef James M. Ouffey. as committeeman from Pennsyl vania, waa read there was loud cheering. Then Chairman Clayton said: "In the recollection of the chair, tho ac tion of the credentials committee In refer ring back to the Pennaylvanla delegation tho two convention lists submitted, leaves Pennsylvania placo on tho national com mittee vacant The chair will rule. in ad vance of the question being received from the Pennsylvania delegation, that, when tUa name of their new committeeman, hi re ceived it will bo announced. Tho list of committeemen as read was de clared approved, there being no objection from any part of the convention. John W. Kern of Indiana, one of the com mittee appointed to ascertsln at what tlm trie committee on resolutions would be ready to report, asked fur recognition st this time, and announced that the committee would be ready to reiort not later than T o'clock, and that Its sessions were entirely harmonious." After Mr. Kern had reported there were calls from Illinois for a speech from James Hamilton Lewis. Mr. Lewis was lnvlted to the platform, but was late In arriving, and after a brief wait Senator Grady of New York moved a recess until 7 p. m. The mo tion was carried with a whoop.

The pretense Is that the fight must go on under the leader designated by htm until the last foe shall have surrendered or lies Inglorloua in the dust. The nomination of his would-be suc cessor was largely accomplished by tho use or official patronago and coarse machine methods, and has delighted the chief apostle, of strenuoKity, and. at the same t me, has not perturbed the conscience of the one-time civil service reformer, now the boss and adept in the bestowal of pub ic plunder and forgetful of all his resound ing moral commonplaces. No fair-minded American could resd the dally account of the recent polltlcnl doings at Chicago with out fueling mortiricatlon and regret; morti fication that the president should have so abused his power in dictating to a great party his choice of a successor, and regret that that party should have submitted to a cowardly to a humiliation that was as manifest as It was degrading. What are the policies that constitute the capital of the republican partv in this cam paign and that are relied upon to support the-mndldacy tf Mr, TsftT - To recall democratic platforms, speeches and measures In to convince any man that mnny of the president's public utterances were derived from an unavowed familiarity with the teachliiK of our party. His utter ances that are democratic have given him his only claim to be a reformer and have contributed more than all else to the popu-. larlty he has enjoyed. The heir and tha party are committed to "unfalterlnir nd hcrenee to the poltcies of the president." What are these policies and what are the achievements of. president and party? Campaign Contributions. It must ba admitted that the republlci em, uui mug survive it irauu unci corrup tion become material factors In our elec tions. No man has said more than the president shout the corruption of elections. You recall hla message to ronsress In De cember, 19t5, where It raid that "It has been only too clearly shown that certain men at the head of -these large corporations take but small note of the ethical distinc tion between honesty and dishonesty; they draw tho line only this side of what may be called law-honesty, the kind of honesty necessary in order to avoid falling Into the clutches of the law." We have here tho condemnation of the practice. Has he proved his faith by his works Is It true or not that four years aiijo he selected for his campaign manager a novice In politics, whose principal quali fications for the position was the power he held over the corporations of the land? Is It. true or not that the official place as secretary of commerce and labor gave full knowledpo of these business secrets and relations of corporations to this campaign manager, and clothed him with power, with the sxsent of the president, to punish or reward them bv publishing or withholding their secrets that he had collected as such secretary. Is It true or not that, with his power held In terror over the corporations, he solicited or had his agenta solicit campaign contri butions from them? Is It true or not that such a request under such circumstances was a demand upon the corporations a de. n'am) tiiat they acceded to, knowing that the man who mado It had the power to punish them In case they refused? Can it be doubted that In this way vast sums were raised? If so, how much of these contrlbutluns were used for legitimate ex penses and how much for corruption pur poses we do rot know. Notwithstanding eavago ar.te-electlon denials, we know that a subsequent Investigation of certain In surance companies uncovered the fact that large amounts were contributed by these companies to the republican campaign fund net the money of the men who gnve II, but money covertly taken without consent of stockholders or policyholders and en tered on the books In u way calculated to conceal th emheRzlement. All this was done In the Interest of the republican can didate for president. The money was used, Ihe candidate as e lected, and he continues to deliver lectures on decency and for hon esty In flections, sending messages to cun- freas, on publicity of cumpalgn contrlbu lons, but at times when these were certain to be unavailing. The Chicago convention has met, ban transacted its business, and bus adjourned. The question of a publicity bill was mooted there, was defeated, and It would never have seen the light of day except through the unaided efforts of one solitary membf r of the committee on platform and resolu tions, who dragged It out only to witness Its deep entombment by the body of a convention. Thus died one of "mv policies,' to which the convention In effusive, f dictated lansunge declared In Its platform their "unfaltering adherence." lajoartloa aud Contempt of Coart. Let me go on. There hm been and la now a public oeinand for lciw.atloii and the power to punish for alleged indirect or constructive contempts of courts. Kver since lHVlt the democratic party have pro tested against hasty and Ill-considered use of Injunctions, and has been Insisting on the right of fair trial In all e-usns of constructive contempts. The republican party has been avoiding this question. o the president, In taking it up, and Mr. Taft in hla letter to the labor unions, ad vocated a measure thut the democratic party, acting in behalf of the correct ad ministration of publlo Justice, has been demanding for twelve years. If the preal deut waa In earnest when he sent his mes sage to coogreka he was to tbat extent democratic. We are authorised to con clude that in framing, revising or dic tating the Chicago platform ha suffered from a lapse of memory or abandoned the policy he had ao vigorously urged In hla official capacity, for bo auld in a message to congress: "I also urge that action be taken along tho line of recommendations I have al ready made concerning iujunctlons In la bor disputea. No temporary reatralnlng order should be issued by any court with out notice, and the petition for a per manent Injunction upon which aueh tem porary restraining order has been Issued shoula' bo heard by tha court Issuing the sanio within a reasouablo Hiuo say not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the dnte when the order was Issued It la worth considering whether It- woHld not give greater popiilur confidence In the Imrartl'illty rf sentence fur contempt If It a a- required that the lasue houid he decided by another Judge than the one Issuing the Injunctions, except where the contempt is committed In the presence of the court or other ease of urirency." Surely he and his par(v eulogists for rot that he had but a few months before advised corisress that "it in worth con sidering whether It would not give greater popular confidence In the Impartially of sentences for contemrt If It was required that the Issues should be d"cld-d l.v another Judge than the one lisulng I lie Injunction." There has. not been h session of congress In twelve years at which the republican party could not have passed a ,aw pre scribing, defining and reinilutlng the is suance of Injunctions and providing fur fair trials In contempt cases. Yet nuthliig bus been done to- give the wuge earner fjlr treatment find less than nothin I offered to him In the Chicago deliverance. The meaningless generalities of Its In junction plank are an Insult to the intelli gence of those who demand reasonable and substantial legislation to prevent the admitted abuse ef this Judicial procoNb.

Of course many people are not surprised at any opinion the president utters; he has ao many of them and haa expressed them on so many corjcelvablo and non concelyable occasions. Now. Secretary Jtoot Is an able lawyer and a man of trained and deliberate hablta of thought.

Dunn of Omaha, ln nominating for the office of president W. J.

In most in stances, where grave dangers have threat ened the safety of the slate, somo great character, some master mind bus been found, produced as It were by the condi tions themselves, with capacity to direct unglit the energies of the people. This waa true of the ancient world; It bus been true of the modern worl.l ; It Is true of this re public. We have such a crisis to meet to day. The favor-seeking corporations have gradually strengthened their hold upon this government until they now inenuce popular Institutions. The question Is whether this government shall be restored to the control of the people and be administered 111 the Interest of all, or whether it shall re main an instrument In the hands of the few for levying tribute upon all the rest. In hla special message to congress last winter. President Hoosevelt dec-lured, aub atantlally, thut certain wealthy men who have bi-come enormously rich by oppressing the wage earner, defrauding the public and practicing all forma of iniquity, have banded together, and by the unlimited use of money, endeavor to secure freedom from restraint and to overthrow Knd discredit all who honestly administer tne law. That the method by which thesn men have acquired their great fortunes can only he Justified by a system of morality, that would irndt every form of criminality, eveiy form pf violence, cwrruj.tion and fraud.

They laid their hands upon the trust funds of Insurance companies and cither corporations and turned the plunder over to the republican committee. The money thus filched from the Innocent and helpless, to purchase re publican victory, has not been repaid. Where They Are At. And where do we find these men today? Where are the "swollen fortunes ' of whlcn we havo heard se much? Just where we would expect to find them supporting the republican ticket and furnishing the smew a of war for republican t-ommlttco aa usual. Thu platform adopted by the rate conven tion snows what the republican party In truth represents, ln framing the plauorm every genuine reform whicu tho president has advocated was scorned and repudiated. The Wisconsin delegation asked that one or two reform planks be placed In the plat form, and for Ita puma waa denounced as democratic. The convention by a vote of 8 to 1 refused to approve those policies which the president for four years has been urging upon hla party. The mask of hy pocricy has been torn from the face of those who pretend to favor the reforms advocated by the president and It Is now apparent why the "system" admires Taft and hates too senator froi Wisconsin. v hen compelled to choose between an ap peal to the conscience of tho nation In oe tense of Its platform and candidates, on the one hand, and the millions that the special Interests may be dependent upon to contribute on the other, that convention rejected the people and continued ita alli ance with' Mammon. If tho chargea made by the president are true and they are true we are Indeed face to face with a situation as grave as any In our history. How shall It be met? The good sense, patriotism and united action of thu people alone cun remedy present evils. Look to the Leader. To wage a successful fight we must have a leader. The republican party, dominated by tho seekers of special privileges, cannot lurnlsh hlm. Republicans who really de sire reform are powerless; the effoits of the president- have been futile. The democratic parly must furnish the leader which present conditions demand and he must be a man known to be free from the influences that control the re publican party. He must be a man of bu petlor intellect, sound Jundgment, positive convictions and moral courage one who will meet the forcea of plutocracy with the naked sword of truth one who knows no surrender. He must have a genius for statecraft; he must he a man of wide ex perience In public affairs; he must have ability to formulate policies and courage to defend them. But, above all, he must have faith In the people. He must not only believe ln the right of the people to gov ern, but ln their capacity to do so; and he innst Ire a man whom the people know and truat. ,i - .-- Ths) democratic party haa many distin guished men who might be chosen as our stundard bearer, but It haa one man who, above all others, possesses the necessary qualifications and la eminently fitted for this leadership. He Is a man whose nomi nation will leave no doubt as to where our party stands on every public question; his genius for statecraft Is shown by the con structive work he has done In proposing reforms and by the ability with which he has fortified his position. But we may go farther. A few months since' he visited the princi pal nations of the world. He came In con tact with the- leading minds of Christen dom, and the world abroad recognised his greatness and paid hlm that tribute Justly due to men of high attainments. Sincere and Brave and Earnest. In the most distinguished peace conven tion that has assembled In recent years he proposed a plan which. If adopted, would prove more effective than any arbi tration treaty that haa yet been made, and by his Influence has aecured Its approval by the representatives of the twenty-elx leading nationa there assembled. Is he thoroughly informed regarding the issues of this campaign? Head hla speeches and his writings, which for nearly twenty years have been a part of the political lit erature of the nation. Is he sincere, brave and determined? Even hla political oppo nents now admit that he la. I have had a close personal and political acquaintance with this man, whose name Nebraska presents, since he eptered polit ical life. 1 can testify from observation aa to his political conduct before he waa known to fame. He waa honest, brave and unyielding then; he is honest, brave and unyielding now. Honesty is Inherent, in him. Ho was an honest lawyer before hj entered politics; he waa honest In his political methods be fore his statesmanship waa recognised by the nation, and he haa been honest throughout his political career. Hla con victions have been hla political creed; he hua impressed these convictions upon oth ers, not by dictation, but by arguments addressed to the Judgment and the con science. Believing In the ultimate triumph of the right, he has never examined qlestlon from the standpoint of expediency; he haa never Inquired whether a political princi ple was popular: It haa .been sufficient for him to believe that It waa right. He has been a consistent champion of the reserved rights of the etate. He favored the elec tlon of senators by direct vote before the house of representatives ever acted favora bly upon the subject; he championed tariff reform when the west waa the hotbed of protection. He favored an Income tax before the In come tax law waa written; he attacked the trusts when republican leaders were denvlng that any trusts existed; he advo eated railroad regulation before the eru sade against rebates and discrimination began. Ills Friendship foa- Labor. He has alwaya lieen the friend of labor and was among tho first to urge concilia tion between labor and capital. He began to oppose government by Injunction more than a decade ago; he announced his op position to Imperialism before any other man of prominence had expressed himself on the subject, and without waiting to sao whether II would be popular. When a Wall street panic burst upon us a few niontha ago he promptly proposed aa a remedy the guaranty nf bank deposits, and so popular haa this plan hecomu that it is today a national Issue and supported Natural Flavors Vf Ml Min asr a ridVUUIiy Vanilla m 4 Lemon txiracis ssa rc natural flavors, obtained by a new process, which gives the most delicate and grateful taste. Dr. Price's Favoring can be conscientiously commended as being just aa represented, per fection in every possible respect. One trial proves their excellence. you would never bo A 1. ill by the masses of the people, advocated legislation which He has long will secun publicity as to camimlgn contributions, lie believes ln peace in universal Christian peace; he believes the destiny of the na tions should be determined not by wars, but by applying the principles ot justice and humanity. Through these principles havs met with uncompromising opposition from the spe cial Interests, he hua remained true to tho cause of the people. With clear vision and with unfaltering trust, seeing and knowing the truth, he has never lost faith In Its flnnl victory. - Through years of unparalleled rollttcnl warfare his loyally to his IiIchIs nnd to hla fellow men tins, been abundantly shown, tils refusal to surrender his convictions, though subjected to abuse, denunciation and vindictive opposition, such as few pub lic men In all history have been compelled to withstand. Is ample proof of his superb courage. Ills career proves that successful leadership Is determined by Ihe success or failure of great principles rather than by election to high office. . Object of the Meet Ins; We have met to. plan the campaign and to commission the commander under whom the masses will enlist. We are not her In response to the voire of expediency; neither political bosses nor corporate masters aent us here. We are here at the summons of the rank and file of that political Organ isntlnti which Is the special dofender of the tights of the common people.
