find planned to meet before tha convention
assembled, but this Idea waa abandoned In
favor of an election for notional committee
men to be held after all the delegates had
reached their seats In the convention hall.
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. .

the n oat (rtln-slnsiri.
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

A Klorlous past confers no present moral
lien on the future greatness. In eery pre

right to live. If the average of the Indi

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

When the prayer was concluded, Chair

Pennsylvania,' who stated that up to the
present time ho bad beea-ffnable to se

Henry n. 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. Joined In the trlb
uto paid to tho worda of Mr. Llltktoti.
"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.

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.
Tariff Revision.
The pre.M.lcnt and his party declnre that
B. lrc-eltctlon revision of the tariff would
be unwise. This assertion has I een io

It i8 an accomplished Scheme to cnallo

Whatever It may show In the way of slue
of commission or ommlssion, not only la it
the fault of republican legislation, but the
evil which it pretends to cure was alto,
gether and exclusively the fruit of repub

true of the ancient world; It bus been true

candidates and policies. 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

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
