Nobody remembers the official Keynoter. and in fxet hie name was forgotten before the convention got homo. Tho real keynote was sounded in tho course of a debate on the report of tho Resolutions committee. It occurred In a speech by a Nebraska delegate named William J. Bryan, ending with tho words: "You shall not press down upon tho brow of labor thto crown of thorng; you shall not cruelfy mankind upon a cross of gold." In all political history thoro was never again such burning of tho midnight candle over tho momentous choice of a Keynoter as there wia on tho Democratic aide in that year. The mountain finally brought forth Henator Pat Harrison of Hie speech created a Mlsaiiaippl. deal of great enthusiasm, because everybody understood it was a keynote, but thero was no agreement about what tha note waa The Republicans in that year spent nearly aa much brain tissue ss the Democrats in picking their Keynoter, and settled finally on Theodore E. Burton of Cleveland. Ha to a man of high stature intellectually; yet, throughout tho campaign, tha writer cannot recall that Buiton'es keynote was even once referred to by any speaker. The real keynote had been sounded the preceding December, when Calvin Coolidge aMontohed tha country by his first message to Congress that e, message, which gratefully on a nation that had for oo many years been bombarded with normalcy, the best minds, ths new freedom, the world made safe for democracy, and the strenuous life. The canipalgnewna fought snd won on that December fell no keynote. In 1830 the Republicans had victory so firmly in their grasp that they did not need a keynole. but Henator Lodge was picked to sound one. It was thus described by The New York Times "It waa a typical utterance of its kind; all to good hard Job of talking about everything but the one subject everybody was talking about the war in Europe.

The reason was that it was loM in the high music of the real keynote, which was sounded by William J.

In this speech hto notification that the party was through with Wall street and the trusts furnished an excellent platform for the candidate, who was Woodrow Wilson, and the campaign waa fought out on that lino. Ko it always goes. Tha first convention the writer remembers was the Republican one of 1884, when Blaine was nominated.
