He declared that he sjuv in recent utterances of Congressman Nicholas X<ongworth the plan of President Roose-. velt to-Insure his return to the white house in 1916- He contrasted the ' course of the republican leaders, which he described as merely an evasion of popular antipathy to a third term, with the declaration o tMr. Bryan that If elected he would not again be a candi date and brought the audience to Its feet with a eulogy of Bryan as a can didate whose nomination v/as ’“de- manded by all patriotic Americans.” Mountaineer* on Hand. Mr. Kern spoke in the large audi torium which was crowded'to Its grea^ horsemen through th6 stftets, which Governor Glenn, of North Carolina, said was the greatest political demonstra tion In this city since 1896. A strik ing feature was the presence of sev eral hundred mountaineers on farm mules, who had ridden miles from sur rounding counties to attend.

Evil* of Republican 'Miarule. "AH men are agreed,” said Mr. Kern, “that we have fallen upon evil times —that, a great danger threatens our very existence as. a nation. This fact Is not denied by the republican party manager*.” He referred to the repub lican pfatform. which ho said con tained suggestions for remedies which were an acknowledgment of the exist once of evils “born of republican mis* rule,” and continued: "After having shown their powerlessness to cope with this menace to human liberties, the republican leaders nbw ask to be < tlnu^J In nower. promising that If given four years more they will do what the*» have so long neglected to do.

One of the most popular char acters in the history of thla country- General. Grant—has aald that the ex ample of Washington and of Jackson *h|Ul be respected: that there shall be no third term. Recognising therefore that the third term proposition was well nigh an Impossibility, the presi dent of the United States has under taken to name his own successor, both In the convention o? his party and now In the councils of the people.
