Seaborn Wright and Hoke Smith and
Pope Brown and other Georgians, and
I think that when I return I shall be
plain Jennings Bryan and keep com
pany with you Georgians in the name.
Mr. Bryan paused to pay a compli
ment to young Lamar Hill, president
of the Young Men's Democratic League
and his addrees of Introduction in the
afternoon. He recounted one of his
own early experiences and created a
laugh with an anecdote of his flrst
s'ttimp speeches.
"It encourages me to know that so
many able Democrats are reudy to
support Democracy," he continued: "I

have spoke so ably, against the as
saults of predatory wealth. But I wish
to enlarge a little on some subjects of
which I have spoken. And In so doing
I reserve the right to express but my
own views on the subjects which are
now In the public eye.
"tfpon my return to America I dis
cussed briefly everything that I be
lieved It would be necessary to dis
cuss during the campaign, thus fore
stalling my Republican critics, who
have said that I try every issue that
can be tried and drop those which I

it for a future occasion to enlarge
upon any subject.

present views only after a long de

"I nod not tell you of corruption In

tor* and prevent or delay the passage
or enforcement of railroad regulation
measures. When a rate bill Is passed
by a state they go to the court* with
Injunctions and hold up the action f*

to ' ‘ ‘ —
“I Dr.ad the Experiment.”
I will be frank and say that I dread
an experiment where all the station
agents anil brakemen and trackwalk
er* will be appointed from Washing
ton. I am a Democrat, and I view
with alnrm the obliteration of state
lines and the Increasing Influence of
Washington. But I see In the future t
dual ownership—state lines owned by
the states and trunk lines owned by
the national government.
You need not consider that now, but
I believe that It will come in time.
The nation can build Its trunk lines
and the states need not act until they
are ready. They need not settle the
question at once; they can own their
lines or not as they choose.
"The question of whether state own
ership Is practicable does not bother
me at all. In Europe the roads are
owned by the government. In Ger
many the railroads are owned by the
several states and not by th< empire,
and there Is no difficulty in manage -
ment. whither am I afraid when they
tell me It will give the party In power
too great a hold on the employees. I
have had less trouble In my campaigns
with employees or he government than
with those of the railroads. I have had
men come to me and vote for me, while
wearing the button of the other party
on the outside of their coats and my
button on the Inside. I am more afraid
of the employee of the railroad than
of the servant of the administration in
power.
“A Wrong to Bo Rightod.”
"But when I‘see a wrong that can
he righted I point it out and I take
the responsibility for my views. If
the Democratic party Is not willing to
meet Issues and protect the people.
It can not expect the confidence of the
people. _
"I believe that under a Democratic
administration we should have a better
enforcement of the railroad rate bill
than under the Republican party, and
I say this while admitting that there
has been corruption In Democrat!'
states as well as In Republican states.
"Hoke Smith and 1 have disagreed In
wants reform, let him drive out rail
road ownership, for It Is the only way
he can secure his liberty. The railroads
can never be controlled until they arc
made to see that they hold their rights
under sufferance, and that unless they

people.
' Nothing has gratified me more In the
past twelve months than to And the
growth of the democratic Idea every
where. All around the globe. In Japan,
In China, In Russia, the Democrats are
working. All over Europe the Demo
cratlc Idea Is spreading. In America
among Republicans and Democrats the
Ideas one considered radical a few years
ago are beginning to be recognised as
safe and sound and necessary.
No Campaign Funds From Corpor<
stlons.
"My friends, I believe that In our
next campaign we should not accept
cent of campaign funds from a corpor
atlon. No money should be accepted
from any Individual on an understand
Ing that he shall receive something In
return which may not be told freely to
the people: We must have no secrets
from the people.
"To my mind It Is a hopeful sign that
so many well-to-do men are taking an
Interest In politics and I believe that
we shall have many more well-to-do
men in our party In the next campaign
than ever before.
-It would have been better to apply
these reforms several years ago than
today. It Is bettor to apply them now
than to watt five or six years. Today
the Democratic party Is marshalling
under Its banner the people who want a
free government preserved. These
people who have been stealing by law,
who have been committing grand lar
ceny from the people, who have ac
cumulated money they did not earn
and for which they cannot have any
use, are debauching society. We can
Insist that our nation be restored to
Its old footing and give the people the
opportunity to which they are entitled.
I would protect the man who earns tioo
a day as readily as the man who earns
11. But we must give equal protection
to all.
“It Is true that all great questions In
their last analysis are moral questions
and ths conscience Is the only power
that can be finally appealed to. Ah,
my friends, it Is conscience that com
pels the right. In this great America
we are going '
science of the people and If I mistake
not we are on the eve of a great ethi
cal revival. Men are learning that life
Is not what we get out of the world,
but what we put Into the world.

Ideals I believe that when the cam

great and glorious victory. No matter

INTERESTING FACTS.
For N,arly Every Man, Woman or
Child. ,
A short time ago we published an
article recommending to our readers
the new discovery for the cure of Dys
pepsia. called Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, and the claim then made regard
Ing the wonderful curative properties
of the remedy have been abundantly
sustained by the fact*. People who
were cautious about trying new rem
edies advertised In the newspapers and
were Anally Induced to give Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet* a trial were sur
prised and delighted at the result!.
In many cases a single package costing
but 60 cents at any drug store made a
complete cure and In every Instance
the most beneficial results were report

that we'shall publish each week a fresh
list of genuine, unsolicited testimonials
and never publish the same one twice.
From James Yemmelsler, Lacrosse,
WIs.: Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are
doing me more good than anything I
ever tried and I was so pleased at re
sults that 1 gave away several boxes
to my friends who nave also had the
same benefits.
From Jacob Anthony, Portmurray,
New Jersey: I have taken Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets with the best re
sults. I had dyspepsia for six years,
and had token a great deal of medi
cine. but the Tablets seem to take right
a hold and I feel good. I am a farmer
and lime burner and I heartily recom
mend to every one who has any trouble
with his stomach to use these Tablets.
From Mrs. M. K. West, Preston,
Minn.: I have received surprisingly
good effects from using Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. I gave one-half of my
last box to a friend who also suffered
from indigestion and she had the same
good results.

Overflowing Crowd.
Long before the hour announced fori
the dinner to Mr. Bryan the corridor
of the Piedmont was,filled. The din
ing room was not opened until 9 o'clock,
and before that time It was necessary
to station a policeman at the door to
preserve order and prevent the guests
from pushing their way In. The open
ing of the doors was the signal for a
rush for the best seats.
The speakers' table was placed at
the south end of the room, with Mr.
outside hundreds of men and women
waited with Impatience for the Intro
ductory speeches to be finished that
they might hear Mr. Bryan. They
stood there from 8 o'clock until lony
after midnight, and the crowd In
creased as the evening wore on Instead
of diminishing.
At the speakers table, on the right
of Mr. Bryan, was Burton Smith, toast
master. On Mr. Bryan's left sat Gov
ernor J. M, Terrell. The others at th?
speakers' table were: Roby Robinson,
Arnold Broyles, F, L. Seely, R. R. Ar
nold, J. Pope Brown, 8. A. Roddenbury,
P. A. Stovall, Lamar Hill, Seaborn

D. Jones, J. E. Maddox, E. E. Dalits
and C. L. Bartlett.
Dr. C. E. Dowman, pastor of the
First Methodist Church, delivered a
short Invocation. When Mr. Bryan en
tered the band struck up "Dixie," and
the cheering continued for several mo
ments.
Many Eloqusnt Addresses,
Though limited In time, some of the
addresses were gems of oratory which
thrilled the audience. Seaborn Wright,
of Rome, awept the house with a mag
nificent appeal for railroad ownership
and cheers followed his declaration
that Atlanta was already crying for
ownership of Its street railway. In re
ply to Burton Smith, who welcomed
him back to the Democratic ranks, he
denied that he had ever left the party,
and declared that It was his privilege
to welcome Mr. Smith and his branch
of the party.
W. A. Covington, of Colquitt county,
delivered but a short address In the
style which made him famous In the
house of representatives and sent out
an eloquent call for purity In the party.
P. A. Stovall, of Savannah, spoke
made a humorous address In which he
talked of south Georgia and her claims |
on Democracy.
ipon . .
dlence called for him at the conclusion
of Mr. Bryan's address and he respond
ed with a few words. 1
"You have won the people's fight,'
he said, “but the battle Is not over.
Don't feci that you have finished the
fight. Already agents of the corpora
tions are plotting to defeat you. It Is
necessary that the next legislature In
corporate your platform In the laws of
the state and your executives enforce
these laws. Don’t quit .the fight. Keep
n fighting and let your voices
At the conclusion of Mr. Smith's re
marks W. Trox Bankston, editor of
The West Point News, proposed three
cheers for Bryan and Hoke Smith,
"the next Democratic candidates.” The
cheers were given with a will and nf
terwards Mr. Bankston expressed his
belief that the combination would
make a national ticket which would bo
successful.
Mrs. Brygn Present.
President Lamar Hill, of the Young
Men's Democratic League, Introduced
Burton Smith, toastmaster.
At the beginning of the addresses
Mrs. Bryan and several ladles of the
committee, entered the room and were
cheered enthusiastically.
Burton Smith said In part:

a Democratic love feast. Wo
are all Democrats, and we have never
had a better chance to elect a Demo
cratic president. Two of the most
popular men In America derive their
popularity from their Democracy. The
odore Roosevelt owes much to his fol
lowing of good Jeffersonian Democracy
In many of Its principles.’’
Governor Torroll'e Address.
Governor J. M. Terrell was then
presented. He said
"Georgia feels a peculiar affection
for our distinguished guest. It was
that lamented Georgian, Lewis, who
first placed him In nomination at the
convention of 1896. Four years after'
ward, Georgia led In that call from the
Democracy of the Union and he was
again chosen as our leader. It Is good
to know, a* we approach the contest of
1908, that Democracy Is again united
on William Jennings Bryan, the match
less leader, as our standard-bearer. 1
Is good to know that the party shows
such a solid front on the three great
questions nf the period. We should con
tinue to fight the protective tariff and
In doing so level our guns at monopoly
and trusts. 1 could paraphrase the
words of Madame Roland and say: ‘Oil,
Labor, bow many crimes have been
committed In thy name!’
“It Is a great pleasure fo me to wel
come our guest to the great state of
Georgia. I doubt It there Is any other
state where he Is so universally the
people's choice. Mr. Bryan. I bid you
welcome to Georgia and the hearts of
Georgians.”
8. A, Roddenbury.
B. A. Roddenbury, of Thomasvllle',
was next Introduced.
Mr. Roddenherry’s humorous remarks
were greeted by cheers and frequently
Interrupted by friendly questions
shouted from different parts of the
hall. In conclusion he sold that south
Georgia would yield gracefully to north
Georgia, and promised to furnish what
ever Bryan majority might be needed.
J. Pops Brown.
The Hon. J. Pope Brown was the
next speaker. He said:
I am here for the purpose of doing
honor to our distinguished guest. As
private citlxen, I have come to do
honor to the loftiest statesman ami
purest patriot In America.
"In 1996 we were as a ship without n
rudder. But a platform was framed
and presented and there was but one
man who fitted the platform. That
was William Jennings Brysn. The next
step was to give him a running mate
and there, my friends, was the great
est blunder of the age. Sewell was
not a running mate, but he had a 'bar

people, one of whom I am which,

Seaborn Wright's Spetch.
The Hon. Seaborn Wright was next.
He said:
I do not know why Mr. Bmlth should
welcome me back Into the party,
believe that It Is up to me to welcome
him back. Thore's a good many of us
folks In Georgia and we have no apolo
gies to make. We were Democrats
then and we are Democrats now. Let
me tell you what we want. We want a
radical Democratic platform, one with
out any hedging and trimmings or tar
iff reform. We want It In plain and
unmistakable terms. On the transpor
tation question, whatever the party
does we go with It In 1908, but so far
ax we are concerned we are ready to
xtand flat-footed for government own
ership of railroads. It Is coming and
no power can stop It. There are some
of you who wag your heads, but down
In your hearts you know It Is coming.
“Why should we hesitate? Why
should we shift and dodge? The heart*
of the people are wedded to It. In this
city municipal ownership ha* already
taken possession of tho people. Already
we own a great railroad and we shall
extend It to tho sea. Wc have govern
ment ownership already In Georgia.
Tho people must control their means of
transportation. The Democratic party
must be the party of progress and not
the party of negation. It must bo the
vanguard of the movement onward
and upward. That Is my conception of
Democracy and It Is the conception of
100,000 Democrats who have come back
with me Into the party.
"Not every man who cries 'Democ
racy' will do the will of the people. And
the people will not be deceived. Woe
enjoying the boundless confidence of
the people as Bryan did, would tell the
people, that government ownerehlp waa
the best solution, the people would fol
low him to the polls In loyalty.
He said that the clamor of politicians
and Renders would not destroy an Issue
and cited Hoke Smith's great cam
paign to prove that the people fre
quently overrode the bosses.
Mr, Graves also said he believed
that the Issues of this national cam
paign would not be exclusively ma
terial, but would be moved by the
larger moral motive, from the high,
clear note which Mr. Bryan had In
jected Into two great campaigns and
elevated ths public conscience of right
eousness and Justice and cleanness of
public life. He said he believed that
this note In the campaign would Insure
the election of Bryan, because with
other Issues balanced and other ques
tion* made plain, the Democratic par
ty could look an awakened nation In
the face and say, "The atalnlesa Integ
rity of our leader Is the strongest point
In our mighty platform.”
Pltnant A. Stovall.
The Hon. P. A. Stovall was the next
speaker. He paid a glowing tribute to
Mr. Bryan and said:
"L am here In my place a* an un
swerving Democrat to say that I am
convinced that tariff reform I* still the
paramount Issue of this country. It
must be admitted that the tariff sched
ule Is the foundation of nearly all the
plunder of today. The standpatter be-

disputed sway.”
