BRYAN AFTER
JUDGE PARKER
Spoke to Crowd That Filled Second
egiment Armory*
MANY TURNED AWAY
He Espoused the Cause of no Particular
Candidate But Went After
Judge Parker.
. Chicago, April 23.—Before a crowd
of people which filled the Second
Regiment armory until the police, for
safety reasons, would permit no more
to enter, Wm. J. Bryan, twice the
standard bearer of the Democratic
party in national campaigns, spoke his
disapproval of David Bennett Hill,
Judge Alton B. Parker and the recently
adopted New Tork platform.
Emends he had in great- number in
the vast auditorium, who received his
peroration enthusiastically, but there
were also those present in large num-
bers who, while giving the brilliant
speaker respectful attention, did not
show much enthusiasm.
In his audience were many ministers,
representing numerous denominations,
ail there upon personal invitation of
the speaker, who said: "I desire to
have the ministers attend because they
fan and should exert an influence In
behalf of honesty and fairness in poll-
tics."
Mr. Bryan had said he would not
take sides with any particular candl-
late for the honor of carrying the bnn
oer of Democracy In the coming bat-
tle of national ballots, but he did not
lay he would not take sides against
t particular candidate and he did not
leviate from his purpose; he did not
take sides with any one—but he most
Secldedly took Bides against Judge
Parker, et al.
His speech was, in part, as follows:
"As it is sonjewhat unusual
for a pilitical speech to be
made ^s this one is tonight, let
me preface my remarks with an ex-
planation. 1 have hired this hall and
Wakeful?
Sleeplessness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou-
ble and Should
Be Looked To.
There are three different manifesta-
tions of sleeplessness.
First, hardly to sleep a wink all night,
■econd, to He awake a long time before
(ailing asleep; third, to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere in the
nerve fibres, somewhere In the brain
cells, somewhere In the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
Is radically wrong, and must be righted,
or the end may be worse than death.
To right it, take Dr. Miles' Nervine.
Some other symptoms of nerve trou-s
ble are: Dizziness, Headache, Back-
ache, Worry, Fretfulness, Irritability,
Melancholy, Lack of Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
to Epilepsy, Fits, St Vitus' Dance,
Nervous Prostration, Paralysis, Insanity.
Nothing wilt give such quick and last-
ing relief as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
"My husband had been sick for weeks,
could not sit up to have his bed made.
With all the medicalhrlp we could get
lie continued to grow wewe. He could
neither sleep or eat. OuF >aby girl was
sent away, and all callers barred, be-
e nfe could not stand a bit of talk-
ing. I read of a case of nervous pros-
tration cured by Dr. Miles' Restorative

slE:;
I introduce myself because I do not
care to speak under the auspices of any
club or organization which is com-
mitted to any particular aspirant for
office. My concern is not about the
name or the personality of the nominee,
but about the principles for which the
Democratic party is to stand.
'"Now that Mr. Parker seems to be the
leading candidate (though not the only
candidate) among the reorganizes, I
desire to present some reasons why he
cannot be considered as an available
candidate for a Democratic nomination,
and I find these reasons not in his per-
sonality, but in his position upon pub-
lic questions. For a year he has been
urged to speak out and declare himself
upon the important issues of the com-
ing campaign, but he has remained si-
lent. Whatever doubt may have existed
on this subject heretofore, has been dis-
pelled by the platform .adopted by the
New York state convention, nnd tak-
ing this platform as a text, I am san-
guine enough to believe that I can
prove to every unbiased mind that
Judge Parker is not a fit man to be
nominated either by the Democratic
party or by any other party that
stands for honesty or fair dealing in
politics. This platform can fairly be re-
garded as his declaration upon public
questions, and what does the platform
say?"
Mr. Bryan then dissected the plat-
form, section by section, and continued:
"A Republican could run on that plat-
form and after the election- construe it
as an indorsement of every policy for
which the Republican party stands.
"What are the issues before the counT
try? The trust question is certainly
an issue; yet there ts nothing in that
platform that gives encouragement to
the opponents of the trusts.
"Imperialism is one, and there is
nothing in this platform, not a single
word relating to the question of im-
perialism.
"The labor question is.an issue. The
laboring men have been before the com-
mittees of congress endeavoring to se-
cure three important measures. One
is the arbitration of differences be-
tween corporations engaged in inter-
state commerce and their employes.
Both the Chicago and Kansas City plat-
forms* declared in favor of arbitration,
but the New York platform not only
falls to refer to the arbitration plank
of these platforms, but it fails to write
a new plank covering this subject.
"The laboring m.en are also trying to
secure an eight-hour day, but the New
York platform is silent on this subject.
"The laboring men are trying to se-
cure the abolition of government by in-
junction. Both the Chicago and Kan-
sas City platforms contained plnnks on
this subject, but the New York plat-
form dodges this as it does all other
vital questions.
"On the tariff question no issue is
joined. Jt was reasonable to* suppose
that on this question, at least, some-
thing would be said, but Mr. Hill and
Mr. Parker seem to be somewhat afraid
of the tariff question as of other Is-
sues.
"The money question is ignored en-
tirely. No reference Is made to bl-
mettallsm at any ratio—not even to in-
ternational bimetalism, to which Mr.
Hill seemed to be so attached in the
Chicago convention. No reference is
made to the measure now before corr-
gress to melt up nearly six hundred
million legal tender silver dollars Into
subsidiary coin that is only a limited
legal tender. Nothing is said about the
asset currency, which is a part of the
scheme of the financiers. Nothing is
said about the Aldrich bill, which pro-
.poses to subsidize the banks into oppo-
sition to tax reduction by loaning'
them the Surplus money In the treas-
ury. The platform does not antagonize
the proposition before congress to give
the national banks control over the
paper money. In other words, there
is not a line in the platform that Is
written in behalf of the people; not a
line that will excite criticism in Wall
street.
"The platform ignores the income
tax; it fails to indorse the election of
senators by direct vote and also omits
the plank of the Kansas City platform
denouncing corporate domination In
politics.
"The New York platform Is a dis-
honest platform, fit only for a dis-
honest party. No one but an artful
dodger would stand upon It. The sub-
mlslson of such a platform to the voters
of a state Is an insult to their Intelli-
gence, for It is Intended to deceive
them.
"This platform proves that the oppo-
sition to the Kansas City platform Is
not opposition to silver, but opposition
to every needed reform and opposition
to all that the masses desire.
"I had expected that a .platform pre-
pared by Mr. Hill for Jud^e Parker
would be evasive and lacking in frank-
ness, but I did not conceive that any
body of imn calling themselves Demo-
crats would present such a platform as
a recommendation of a candidate. If
we are to take the New York platform
as an Indication of what the next
Democratic platform Is to be, In case
the reorganixera control the conven-
tion, th«n who will be able to deny
the secret purpose of the reorganises
to turn the party over to predatory
wealth?
"The division of the supreme court
in the merger case, shows ths cleavage
on the trust question. The dissenting
judges would deny the power of con-
gress to prevent a private monopoly
and when the power of congress to
destroy monopolies is denied, the peo-
ple are left helpless, because some of
the states, such as Delaware and New
Jersey, llhd It profitable to permit the
creation of these monopolies, and so
long as they are created and can evnde
federal laws, no separate state can ful-
ly protect Itself against them.
"The dissenting judges In the merger
case refuse! to draw a distinction be-
tween an individual and a corpora-
tion.
" 'Rights of property,' are, according
to the dissenting judges, supreme, and
when congress tries to prevent a mo-
nopoly it is interfering with 'the most
elementary conception of the rights of
property." The issue presented today In
the trust question and In all the othei
questions with which we have to deal,
is the question between human rights
und so-called 'property rights—or more
properly speaking, between ordinary
people and the great corporations.
Those who believe that property rights
nre supreme take the side of trusts.
If we have a president who is In sym-
pathy with this theory, it means that
the 'dollar will be given consideration
before the man.'
"No Democrat is more anxious for
the party to succeed thun I am. No
one has suffere.l more from dissensions
and divisions in the party, end no one,
I believe, is more eager for the country
lo enjoy the srent benefits which a
triumph of reil Democracy would brirtg.
But I do not desire that the party shall
win offices only.
"No one can defend the Democratic
party without defending principles nnd
its principles ought to be so clearly
set forth as to be easily understood..
"To present a platform which is evu-
sive and ambiguous shows that those
who wrote the platform either distrust
the people who are to act upon it, or
have purposes that they desire to con-
ceal.
"The New York platform is ambigu-
ous, uncertain, evasive nnd dishonest.
It would disgrace the Democrnts of the
nation to adopt such a platform, and
it ought to defeat an aspirant for a
Democratic nomination who would be
willing to use it as a declaration of his
views on public questions.
"The reorganizers' scheme begins with
the t'eception of the rank and file' of
the party, it is to be followed lip by
the debauching of the public with a
campaign fund secured from the cor-
porations, and it is to be consummated
by the betrayal of the party organiza-
tion and of the country into the hands
of those who are today inenncing the
liberties of the country by their exploi-
tation of the producers of wealth."
PEABODY'S NAME
NOT MENTIONED
Colprado Governor Was Ignored
by Conventions.
Denver, April 23.—The first two Re-
publican conventions of the state to
select delegates to the state convention
next week were held in Fremont and
Pueblo ^counties, .two of the largest
Republfcan strongholds of the state.
Fremont county is tliQ home of Gov.
Penbody. In this county the governor's
administration was not mentioned in
the resolutions adopted and he was not
spoken of by any of those who ad-
dressed the convention. The action of
the two conventions is considered most
significant in political circles. It is
generally conceded that the influence
pf Senator Walcott. who is oppose 1 to
Gov. Peabody's renomination, m;ide it-
self felt sufficiently to throw cold wa-
ter upon the executive's future political
ambitions.

tain Measures
Mr. Oliger has been at the head of

citizens Interested in the matter. At
any rate Cleburne geta a black eye.

>in n hii m in n ii inn
J. C. McNealus, secretary of the Dal-
las County Democratic Executive Com-
mittee, in discussing the rules as drawn
up by the Democratic State Executive
Committee, states that lie is heartily
in accord with the rules as laid down
by the committee and goes into detail
in explaining rules 11 and 12, and
makes more clear some of the points
which have not been entirely clear to
the average voter heretofore. Mr. Mc-
Nealus said: "Prior to the action of
the Democratic Stale Executive Com-
mittee there appeared to be little tint
would be of more than ordinary Inter-
est In primary elections to be held for
state offices, but the action of the com-
mittee in ndoptlng the rules submitted
by the sub-com!nittee for the govern-
ment of the party in the primaries has
made a' complete change In regard to
many of the contests. Heretofore the
custom has been to give the nomination
to the candidate recleving a plurality
of the votes cast in the different count-
ies of the state. Rule 11 as adopted by
the state committee provides as fol-
lows:
"11. Every couftty. which determines
to hold a Democratic primary election
for the nomination of any" candidate
for a county office shall hold same for
ail purposes as hereinabove stated, an;!
the names of all Democratic candidates
for all state,, district and county offi-
ces shall be voted upon in such elec-
tion; und each candidate for a stat.5
office who shall secure a majority of
all votes cast, in such primary elec-
tion for such office, shall be considered
to hnve carried such county for such
office and thereby the delegates of
such county to the state convention
shall be Instructed to east the vote of
such county for such candidate In tli«
state convention. In accordance with
Democratic usages and precedent. If
no candidate shall receive a majority
of the votes so cast in siyh primary
election then the vote of such county
shall be prorated in the convention in
accordance with the vote received by
each candidate in such primary, und
the delegates from such county shall
be held to be Instructed accordingly.
"It will be observed that this ru'e
applies to candidates Tor state offices
where a primary election is hel l.
Where more than two candidates are
running for the same office it Is fensy
to see how important It would be for
each candidate to work to procure
more than one-half of the vote cast In
order to have the support of the entire
delegation from a county in the state
convention. In the event that no such
number of votes were received, say
from Dallas county, the various can-
didates would have to divide the dele-
gation, according to the proportion of
the total vote cast received by him.
How candidates for county and district
offices will be effected is not quite so
clear. No reference is made in the
rule as to whether a majority or plu-
rality of the vote shull govern for the
nomination of county and district can
didates. County executive committees
will have to instruct the voters and
election officers In regard to fhls, or
perhnps, the county convention Itself, j
will have to pass upon It. If the same 1
rule should be applied to the contests
for county offices in Dallas county a
lively time might lie in store for many
of the cand''1-',eq when the county 1
convention n •«. Take for example!
the office of sh'Tlff, with six or more I
candidates In the race, as is now the
situation. No one candidate would
be likely to receive a majority of the
vote cast. On the prorating of pre-
cinct delegates a long-drawn out con-
test, perh ips a deadlock, would result.
These suggestions all apply to the pro-
visions of ruin 11, which is applicable
to primary elections only, and not pri-
mary conventions. But rule 12. deal-

Dr. W. J. Thurmond, Dallas, Texas:
Dear Sir—Mr. K. O. Hall urn, of Brown-
wood, handed ms an envelope addressed
to you, statins that you wanted me to
write to you and let you know If I was
still cured of catarrh. I can't remember
what year I took yo-r CATARRH CURB,
but It was some 10 or 12 yeara ago. Be-
fore I got it I wae almost dead with
catarrh of the head, t had tried every
thing that I could hear of and none of
them did me any good.
I heard ef your remedy and deelded
to give It a trial. The first two bottles
I used did me so much good that 1 kept
on using it till It made a permanent eure.
Doctor, I waa almoet dead when I began
using your CATARRH CURB, but I have
never had any symptoms of It sinee. Z
weigh bow 1M pounds and that to N or
M pounds more than I ever weighed In
my life and It Is all due to the use of
jreur CATARRH CURB.
X have recommended It all over Texas
and will keep en doing so, for I know It
will cure eelarrh, no matter how bad
It nar bo. Wishing you mueh success,
I am yours truly, a. C. KITCHENS,
