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.
