V t* k BRYAN SEES END Irff OF CONVENTIONS Thinks Presidential Primary Will Soon be Adopted?Secretary of State Delivers Two Addresses During Day in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa., May 14.?Secretary William J. bryan of the state department addressed the Pennsylvania legislature last evening 011 the distinction between democracy and j aristocracy. He predicted that before another general election the j presidential primary would general- | ly be adopted and that there will be i no need to hold national conventions and that presidential nominees will be named not by party leaders or ''' by bosses, but by the people. Secretary Bryan came here to speak at the Jefferson anniversary dinner of the Central Democratic Club of Ilarrisburg and was invitwf ed to address the members of the legislature. He told the lawmakers he desired to talk of fundamental I desires that are appropriate to this time. "Jefferson a century ago spoke on two parties," he said; "one was the Democratic party and the other the aristocratic party. The Democratic party is that party which tries to bring the government near the people and the aristocratic party is that which desires to restrain and abstruct popular government. "It is important to know whether the legislative representative is nuimiik id me aemocrauc iaea or to | the aristocratic idea. It is a settled j principle of this country that a platform is binding upon every man that runs on that platform. Some men violate platforms because they say they can not violate their conscience. No man should violate his conscience, but that does not mean that he should violate his party platform. It means that his conscience should begin to work before ( he is elected and not afterwards, i A man who violates a party platform and betrays his party and the i people is a criminal worse than the man who embezzles money. GOOD-I1YK IIOSS. "Now let me tell you something else: The day of the boss is gone. The people will write their own platforms hereafter and send their j own representatives to the legislative halls. And I venture to say V? we have seen the last of the great national conventions. I predict that before another presidential election rolls around the presidential candidates will be elected, not by the j bosses or party leaders, but by the I people." Secretary Bryan was the ilrst : speaker at the dinner of the Cen- I tral Democratic Club and said it was the first political speech he had ! had occasion to make since he put "on his new reserve." "I am here tonight as the substitute for the President," he said. "There were a lot of Republicans who thought we lacked Intelligence, who thought we belonged to the rabble. liut we have a President, who is more closelv identified with tho learned Institutions of the country than any other President we have ever had," declared the secrej 4 tary. Mr. Bryan said that President Wilson has shown the country that the Democratic party is not a party > of panic. Referring to the factional quar- I rel in the Republican party last year, the secretary declared there is S : no need for a Progressive party. "If tho Progressives stand for prin- j clple," said Mr. Bryan, "they will \ stand with the Democratic party. j If the Progressives feel they can ; help t*he country they should help ! ? the Democratic party and not stand aside and antagonize it. The Democrats have made their tight for , ' progressive measures. Where were ' j : the Progressives when the Demo- i cratic party years ago made its fight against Wall street domination?" | > WORK OF GOVERNORS. . J Mr. Bryan called attention to the | 1 J governors the Democrats have * elected. "Look at Governor Cox of Ohio. There's a reformer who ask- 1 > ed 36 reforms and got 36," said j J he. "It was a Democratic governor in New Jersey who first gave us the light breaking in the East. It was r a Democratic governor who first arrayed himself with the people. It was a Democratic governor who had j the temerity to oppose the bosses in \ New Jersey." I The secretary then referred to j the governor of New York w hom he j said stood out so that ehe people said stood out so that the people their parties. The taritl bill just passed by the house was U? t.ared the best in a generation. "1 want to tell you, Speaker Clark, Oscar Underwood and iMitcheil Palmer na\< the best bill in a generation. It was written on the people s side and 1 belie, i- the peoi ated." said he . In closing Mr Bryan said h< was happy ot see the things for which he had contended triumph at last and that "everywhere reforms are moving 011, all moving on because back of them is the spirit of justice and democracy."
