Would Startle History. "Mr. Chairman, and my fellow' De mocrats, it seems to me the time i ripe for an expression of the realit; of Democratic principles and of rea majesty of Democratic leadershi] -which will startle history and inspir the republic to a better life. Ther are opportunities which the Almighi ty sends at rage intervals -to partie and to individuals. And it seceis t, me ill hoiest and fearless franknes that such a tino has comie to us. ''We stand for theC people ler( What the peoPle want is princileF not men. What the people need i results not shihboleths. What th, party clamor for is not Party names but equal popular rights and estab lished liberty. ''If the Demnocratic party has bee1 sincere through all these years in th splendid platforms and in the sple1 did platitudes wlicih iave consecrate its faith and fortunes to the cause o the people-if we have fought ii faith and not in selfish exppetatio1 for the great things which we wish ti see embodied ini the government-i we have been consecrated to the right ing of )opuilar wrongs, to the relax ing of the grip of graft and privil ege from the throat of the people if we have beenl really honest in on professions of sUprem1e Concern fo the whole peol)lc ratlier thanl for Pit ty profit and for personal glory-w seem to have it now. There has con -to us a time when the Democrati party can illustrate an unselfish pat riotism and a surpassing' PrinciPl that will glorify every profession 0 its previous history and plant it ip on a foundation of endliring honor i1 the republic's future life.
