' ) He characterized the republican platform as "reactionary and pro vincial." "Filled with premeditated slanders and , vague , promises, it will be searched in vain for one construc tive suggestion for the reformation of the condition which it criticizes and deplores," he continued. . - "The ' oppressed peoples of the earth will look to it in vain It con tains no message of hope for Ireland; no words of mercy for Armenia; and It conceals a sword for Mexico. ; It is the work of men concerned more with material things than with "hur man rights.

', , ,"-; , Praising the administration's course in the war he said: "We fought a great war, for a great cause and we had a leadership that carried America to greater heights, of honor and power, and glory than Bhe has ever known before in her entire his- tory." -:: : 'Let no one misunderstand us. These 'great affairs were carried for ward under the stimulus of American patriotism, supported by the courage and spirit of our people. All this is freely and gladly acknowledged, but surely the time has come when, bo cause of the calculated criticism and premeditated Calumnies of the oppo sition, we are entitled to call atten tion to the fact that all of these things were accomplished under the leadership, of a great democrat and of a-great democratic administration. If the republican leaders are not able to rejoice with us in this American triumph they should have the grace to remain silent, for It does not lie in the mouths of those who conduct ed the Spanish-American war to in dulge in the luxury, of criticism." ; t ; Referring to congressional inves tigations by "smelling committees," he said that over eighty investiga tions have been made, over two mil lion dollars wasted and "the result has been to prove that it was the cleanest war ever fought la the his- tory of civilization." . , ' "The republican party became so fixed in its incorrigible habit of con ducting Investigations that it finally turned to the fruitful task of invest! gating itself.

The highest bidder, how ever, did not get the prize. The pub-1 licity which overtook the proceedings frustrated the initial purpose. The Chicago convention left the demo cratic party as the -sole custodian of the honor of the country." Peace achievements of the demo cratic party, he asserted, "freed the farmer from the deadening effects of usurious financial control. Labor was given its magna charta of liberty. Business and finance were released from the thralldom of uncertainty and hazard." Income Tax Law ' " "The income tax lawr". he said, relieved our law of the reproach of being unjustly burdensome to the poor.

June 28. J. Bruce Kremer, cive chairman of the democratic national committee, in opening the national convention today, spoke in part as follows: "Led through a labyrinth of devi ous political pathways, lost in tne mazes -of political . trickery, follow ing the Pied Pipers of .

It is with justifiable confidence that we approach the important work of presenting a platform and naming ! a candidate, for we offer to America i an assurance based on achievement. We present a pledge founded on performance. "The Republican party would turni backward, unmindful 0f the hopes and aspirations of forward-looking 1 men and women, and would have us restore to power reactionary forces which could only result in ruin and disaster, bHt we will continue to keep our eyes to the front and will hold to the; path that during eight glorious years has led America to prosperity peace And world leadership. "Our opponents speak to the peo ple: in the language of yesterday. They-see only through the lenses of reaction. Through ' years of retro gression their party has now reached the decadent stage. The Chicago platform stamps it as a party of de struction.! Its declaration 01 prince pies' condemns but sugests no remedy eithe rfor real or fancied ills. It is out of tune, with free people every where; it is out of harmony with the world's desire; it no longer, as in days of its rebirth,' stands as a giant championing the cause of freedom, but, dwarfed by loss of principle, it has developed into a vicious, crabbed old scold. ' - , v Doesn't Lack Leadership. . "America will not look for leader ship in that party; America will not tolerate the leadership of that party. Never, more than now, does our country look to Democracy to save it from the course of national degrada tion prescribed by Republicanism, or to save it from ; abject humilation before the nations of the earth. "Our party is almost as old as the nation itself. ' It was created when the forces of popular government as sumed for the first time in the world's history the direct conduct ot a na tion.: It has progressed in thought as our nation progressed in growth and attainment. It has kept pace with the time and has measured the tread of the advancing host of liber al government; ;"Our party has never been an eva sive party.
