review of the record of the democratic

can leaders and republican policies were.
Included In the speech of Senator James
Hamilton Irwls of Illinois at a banquet
of democratic members of the Missouri
legislature tonight.
"Ex-Ireslunt Tsft." h said. 'In sn
address In New York, called attention to
thf fact that In 1910 this nation was on
the eve of a revolution.
"The answer Is that the republican
masters had so adrntnlstered this govern
ment that the courts , were toppling.
Judges ' were believed -To be universally
vcorrupt and corporate power had been
permitted to subordinate the Individual
to the point that he had become a sub
ject.
Competition Throttled.
"Competition In the arts of mankind
was throttled, and In the race of life men
were hobbled and an attempt was made
to gag them to prevent them from crying
out their grievancea. In high quarters It
was proposed that armies be established
to barricale every factory and to turn
every municipality Into a fort for tho
suppression of revolt against oppression
which the cltlsen was suffering.
"This Is the stste to which policies of
the republican masters had brought this
republic.
"To remedy such it state the democracy
was called to power. Notwithstanding
the treachery In his own party, the re
lentless obstruction of organisations call
ing , themselves republican, and the ty
ranny of large business was rebelling
because lta privilege of exploiting the
American public, looting corporate treas
uries, defiling legislatures and corrupting
the courts had been destroyed, despite
this, the president and his administration
moved on and mankind will witness that
I has carried out Its promises to a greater
extent than has any other administration
