V I ' i DEMOCRATS WERE liEVER SI UNITED "Government is Run for Predatory Wealth" BRYANIN JERSEY CITY Accorded an Enthuslastio Reception at Tbe Majestlo Theatre and Intro duced as "Tbe Next President of Tho trotted Sttes." (Bythe Associated Press ) Jersey City, N, J.. Feb. 8. An en thusiastic reception was accorded William J. Bryan at the Majestic Theatre this afternoon, lie was in troduced as "the next President of tno United states," which evoked ap plause from the large' audience. The keyhole of Mr. Bryan's speech was that Democratic i principles are grow ing 'stronger while those of the Re pu oilcan party are weakening.; After the speech at the Majestic, he ad dressed the Women's Club and later left for Passaic. Mr. Bryan in his speech at the Majestic said in part: 'Today the Democratic party pre sents a united front and is more har monious than I ; have ever known it to be. Traveling from one state . to another I find everywhere that Dem ocrats are ready to fight for pure De mocracy. : Why is it that our party enters Into this fight with the spirit that It does? It is because time has vindicated the attitude of the Demo cratic party. The Democratic party has foreseeli our danger and pointed out the remedy. Our opponents re always talking ! about complicated questions of government. Thomas Jefferson, the founder of the Demo cratic party said the art of govern ment was the art of being honest. "This government is run in th3 Interest of predatory wealth and in the Interest of a few people, if we start with the proposition that the object of rthe government is to se cure equal rights for all, you will find that these propositions have been crystallized in the Democratic princi ples of equal rights for all and special privilege to none. . 'Tn . eleven years of complete pow er the Republican party, aided by all circumstances has not strengthened one Republican policy, every Demo cratic policy is stronger now than it ever was. Every Republican Presi dent must, fight his party in the de fens of Democratic ideas." , Mr. Bryan said the President's re cent message indicated there was a conspiracy among men of wealth to prevent the enforcement of the laws. The conspiracy was a consequence of the delivery of the country to the highest bidder. ' Mr. Bryan, said that Secretary Taft wanted i.to amend the present law against conpiracy in restraint of trade by Inserting the word "unrea sonable" and asked why not make the same amendment to the law against burglary or murder so that the bur glar should be required to take only half of the murderer to slay politely, The attitude, of the Democratic party, the. speaker declared, has been vindicated by the country's experience with the railroads. "My work to the end of my life," he added, "shall be devoted to the returning of this.' government to ithe people from whom it has been des poiled." v .j . . ELECT GIR "'. . .
