a full conception of the radical position
which I am now to take. I have neither
the record of ever having held a public
office or the hope or expectation of ever
wanting one. 1 Imve'fought the battles
of my party Tor the principles thut It
carried and not for the rewards which
It had the power to bestow. All my
life I have realized and believed
that the highest and noblest
opportunity that could ever come
to citizen* or parties was
vindicate by personal sacrlflce and
lofty conduct their supreme and un
selfish loyalty to the professions which
their platforms make.
We have found where we did not
seek hint a tnan to do the things the
people sorely need. We do not know
If w# could succeed In placing In power
the man our partisan loyalty would
prefer. We do not know whether In
thla environment our parly's choice
would change the machinery and win
or lose the .fateful battle of our eco
nomic life. In sound logic and In clear
common sense we must recognize tha
tremendous start, the tremendous pres
tige. which the president has made. Hi
Is every inch a leader and by all the
records he Is a predestined winner In
the fight, flan we, the pehple’a party,
afford to risk the people’s vital Interest
by changing leaders In the very crisis
of the great battle that Is on?
The times may change and men may-
change as well before the campaign of
1»<*J begins. But If the conditions then
are as they are today—It Roosevelt
rides the storm that I* brewing In the
realm of corporate capital, then our
way seems open and our duty clear.
Rpeaklng here deliberately for my
self, end In my fair Judgment of the
great majority of the plain and honest*
Democrats of the Empire Houthem
state, from which I cams, I believe that
we should put the party then
below the peonle, the principle
above the man. We should re.
buke the alprlt of spoils and th*
hunger of faction. We should af
firm our principles, confess our faith,
recite the necessity of the reform ol
corporate capital as the supreme and
transcendent Issue of the times, pay
tribute to the great and typical- Ameri
can who ha* proved himself the daunt
less and and conquering captain of the
people's cause, and then and there In
that great convention of our own. Wil
liam J. Bryan, the one unmatched and
Incomparable evangel of our faith,
speaking for a pur* Democracy, and
speaking for the whole plain people of
this republic, should put In nomina
tion Theodore Roosevelt for one more
undisputed term of power to finish the
work that he haa eo gloriously begun.
t nm prepared. Mr. Chairman and
my fellow Democrats, for silence and
reserve In your hearing of thla propo
sition. There could be no other answer
to It now.
While you accord me the great cour
tesy of your patience for one ntoment
more, may I tell you what I foresee a*
the resultant If our great party and Its
leaders could rise to this suptrb and
thrilling act.
It would vindicate the spirit and the
reality of representative government
upon the earth.
It would send a pulae of Inspiration
through the ranks of freemen every
where.
It would unite the country as It has
never been united since Hamilton and
Jefferson wrangled over the opposing
theories of the constitution.
The nobility of the act would put
the partisan out of the pulses of the
president, remove the wrangle of op
posing political theories for the Uni*,
and free one chief executive for an
administration as unselfish and as
broad as Washington's.
It would vindicate and glorify De
mocracy In an act of patriotism and of
unselfish principle that has had no
parallel In the history of parties In our
times.
In Its grand unselfishness It would
enthrone the Democratic party In the
hearts of the people, and In its tem
porary and heroic surrender would
provide beyond doubt or ques
tion for It* triumphant and glorious
resurrection In the next campaign.
It would establish our Incomparable
ader who presented that proposition
In permanent and enduring fame as
the one Great Commoner of our times
and would place him upon a pedeetal
In hlstoty above that of Gladstone In
England or of Bismarck beneath the
German throne.
It would give title great country uf
ours one millennial period In which fac
tion! and partisans should be still and
the eplrlt of representative government
should be given a new birth apd a new
consecration to Its great Ideate—to the
glory of the people and the admiration
of the world.
And when this period of eplendld
unity waa over, when the people had
won their majestic and enduring vic
tory In the great and transcendent eco
nomic problem of the times, then, at Ua
conclusion, parties which are alwaya
necessary and always helpful In a re
public's life, might separate once more
nto their separate camps
hind real' shibboleths In which
every line of sectionalism should
be burled. every bogle of
fogeylsm and of graft should be oblit
erated, and In which men who have fol
lowed for twenty years In slavish loy
ally of faction behind platforms which
they did not Indorse and leaders In
whom they did not believe—might align
theniaelte* once more and honestly be
hind theories of government which car
ried their sincere convictions and en
listed their Intelligence and their noble
zeal.
It would mean a new birth for par
ties and a new start for the republic,
mission and In history.
Mr. Chairman, I submit In high and
representative honesty this proposi
tion, which seems to be radical, but
which I know to be right. I have never
been more loyal lo the life and for
tunes of the great Nebraskan who Is
our honored gueat tonight. 1 have nev-
been a better and a truer Democrat
than when I suggest this sacrlflce
which will make outfpeace with history
and establish tha prosperity of the peo
ple. Bury me It you will with partisan
acorn tonight, but think of me tomor
row with that high and patriotic Son-
science which lifts the patriot above
the partisan and . blende the Immortal
principle with the real welfare of the
people.
The Democratic party fronts today
an opportunity which comes not often
In human history to glorify its princi
ples and lo perpetuate Its usefulness
among men.
May God and the better angels of
our history help us to the patriot's
policy and the people's weal.
