These witnesses who surround are 'the companions of my youth and nianliood. It is in 0^ presence of these hills, these- graves, these witnesses, that I wish to hoar your message and give you ray. reply. In 11)20 we passed through a politi cal campaign in which materialism was preached as a creed and selfish ness as a national duty. Although the Republican platform adopted at Cleveland holds out to the taxpayer the elusive promise^of re liif to those who are "daily paying their taxes through their living ex penses," as indeed they are, it no where offers any promise of a reduc tion in tariff duties, but lauds the existing bill as the summit of human wisdom. ^ . We assert in our platform that the Republican party "believes that na tional prosperity must originate with the special interests, and seep down through the channels of trade to the less favored industries, to thd wage eariiers and small salaried employes. It has accordingly enthroned privi lege and nurtured selfishness." I re peat the words and I register the em phatic dissent of the Democratic party from that doctrine. I charge the Republican party with corruption in administration with fa voritism to privileged classes in leg islation. I charge it also with divi sion in council and impotence in ac tion. No political party has the right to hold the veins of government un- 1 less it can exhibit the cardinal vir tues <>i hoiiusty, sincerity and unity. When hut yesterday three Ameri cans went to the conference on repa rations, whose fruitful outcome all the world desires, Washington was prompt to disclaim all responsibility for their going, though eager to take credit for whatever they might ac complish. A political party, which is at best human, may make honest mistakes; they can be forgiven. It may pass unwise laws; they can be repealed. It may, through honest error, set men to tasks beyond their* power; they can be displaced and others chosen in their stead. The unpardonable sin, however, for it is a sin that strikes at the national life, is conduct so cor rupt, so partial and so feeble that it shakes the public confidence in gov ernment itself. I indict the Republican party in its organized capacity for having shaken public confidence to its very founda tions. I charge it with having ex hibited deeper and more widespread corruption than any that this generftv tion of Americans has been called upon to witness. I charge it with complacency in the face of that cor ruption and with ill will toward the efforts of honest men to expose it. When they have made their answer they will turn to us, as it is right they should, and ask what we have t6 offer in exchange and what pledges we can give that our offer will be performed. We are ready for the question. We are prepared to offer a Democratic program based on Dem ocratic performance. This program we have outlined in our platform; those principles ' are those by whick the Democrat ic party has been guided throughout the years and which, like the creed of the church, should be repeated whenever Democrat* as semble a Relief in equal rights to all men anil special privilege to none; in an ever wider and more equitable distribution of the rewards of toil and industry; in the suppression of private monopoly as a thing inde fensible and intolerable; in the larg-* est liberty for every individual; in local self-government as against a centralized bureaucracy] in public office as a public trust; in a govern ment administered without fear abroad or favoritism at home. And our pledge will be the long roll of beneficent legislation passed during our years of power, and the conduct without scandal or corruption of a great and victorious war fougfu un der the gallant and inspiring leader ship of Woodrow Wilson. From my point of view he only de serves to be called a progressive who cannot see a wrong persist without an effort to redress it, or a right denied without an effort to protect xit; who feels a deep concern for the . ? ? economic - welfare of the Uriited States, but realizes that the making of better men and better women is a matter greater still; who thinks of every governmental policy fyst of all in its bearing upon human rights rather than upon material things; who believes profoundly in - human equality and detests privilege in whatever disguise, and who finds the true test of success in the. Welfare of the many and not the prosperity and comfort of the few.

The>;> rights are (join eded now by ail fair* minded men. They must no} be i ?*> paired either by injunction or by any other .device. To t he foamer* of the United States also wo promise not patronage licit such laws and such administration of the- laws us will enable them to prosper ia their own right. They are not mendicants and, fortunately for all of us, h re willing to take the risks that atteml their all important Call ing. They are entitled in return to a government genuinely interested in their problems and keenly desirous to serve them to the limits <*f its power* The "courageous and intelligent de flation of credits" which the Republi can party promised in its platform four years ago would have come with better grace and have proven more acceptable in its results if there had been at the same time any effort to narrow instead of widen the gulf be tween the prices which the farmers receive and those which he is com pelled to pay, and to assist him in finding a market for the things he has to sell. I am ready to agree that there is no right in government to tax any man beyond its needs solely because he is rich; and yet I stoutly hold that every dictate of reason and mor ality supports the rule that those who derive from the common effort of so ciety a greater share of its earnings than their fellows must contribute to the support of the state a proportion ately larger share of that which they have received. I would hold in contempt any pub lic official who took with uplifted hand an oath to support the constitu tion of the United States, making at the same time a mental reservation thereby a single word of that great document is excluded from his vow. An administrative officer is no more entitled to choose what statutes he will or will not enforce than is a citi zen to choose what laws he will or will not obey. But all that we do will be undone; all that we build will be torn down; all that we hope for will be denied, unless in conjunction with the rest of mankind we can life the burden of va^t armaments which now weighs upon the world and silence the re curring threat of war. We do not and we cannot accept the dictum unauthorized by any ex pression of popular will that the league of nations is a closed incident so far as we are concerned. We deny the right of any man to thus shut the gates of the future against us and to write the fatal word "Never" across the face of our foreign policy. There are in this country minds who oppose both tho World court and the league and, indeed, any organic contact with other nations, because they wish the United States to live a purely Opportunist lifcv They wish no obligation at any time to any other powers, even the slender obi i - gation to consult and to confer. 1 respect such opinions even though I do not share them; for, on sheerest grounds of national safety, I cannot think it prudent that the United States should be absent whenever all the other nations t>f the world as semble to discuss world problems. If I become president of the United States. America Will sit as an equal among equals whenever she sits at all. To these things, Mr. Chairman, I piedge myself. In the struggle to secure them I invoke the support of all patriotic men and women to whom country is greater than party, honor more sacred than expediency, and the right dearer than personal gain or all things else beside.

Late in the afternoon while the children of Mr. Gregory were at play in the car, the negro came to the car, in spected it and asked some questions that led the children to suspect his purpose, ^jyiey informed Mr. Greg ory of it, so he kept watch and was successful in catching the negro in the attempt.
