Kern I ern an honor and trust as sacred as any tny political nl body bod can offer orter to one of Its most loyal loal and distinguished members and that Is the Democratic nomination for forthe forthe forthe the vice Ice presidency of the United States In selecting you ou for tor this high honor the Democratic national convention was not unmindful of the fact that the office of vice president has gained In authority and national Importance that he who Is chosen for that exalted position must possess every qualification moral and Intellectual c that fits tits a man to become the chief magistrate of his people These qualifications qualifications qualifications you ou were found round to possess In a preeminent degree Before you accept this nomination and go forth thrice armed with truth to over overcome overcome come your foes toes you ou will pardon us If i we briefly present the Democratic cause that I you ou purpose to sustain before beCore the jury jur of ot your country count Republican Party Unfaithful You will be able to show that the Re Republican Republican Republican publican party pa has been unfaithful to Its trust that It has hai vl the most solemn commandments of ot o the political decalogue that Its service to the people has been not only Impaired but destroyed by b per permitting permitting Its energies ener leS to become absorbed In Inthe inthe Inthe the artificial life of the corporate crea creatures creatures tures of o their laws and that at this time we must either make n a 1 complete surrender surrender surrender der to c misrule or redeem once and for tor all time the heirlooms of our na nation nation tion from the corporation pawnshop in which they the have been hypothecated by b the party part In power In Jn this connection conn you QU wilt will be able to show further from the con concurrent concurrent concurrent current of oC all ages that a party long continued c in power becomes honey hooey honeycombed honeycombed combed with corruption and if i nor orB re recent recent recent cent authority be demanded you Jou can point to the speech of o Taft TaCt In Virginia a few weeks ago when the national application of his remarks he pleaded with the independent Democrats of oC that state to vote ote for a change because a party part too long in control becomes rotten and cor corrupt corrupt rupt runt You will be able to show that the boasted prosperity upon which the lican party carried the country four tour years Jears ago has rested unon uon the unwarrantable as assumption assumption assumption that the bounties of nature and the demand for American products abroad have hae been originated and controlled by b the Republican party part Tariff Results In Oppression n You will be able fo Co show that the tariff Is a fair example of ot Republican pol polIcy Icy vicy Ic that the taxing of oC the many for the of the few tew has resulted in an un unequal unequal Unequal equal distribution of wealth and that his history history tory supplies no Instance where the un unequal unequal unequal equal position I n of ot wealth has not resulted in an equal subdivision of or power which has always beeh bee used for the general op oppression oppression oppression of o the misses masses m s es You will be b able 16 lb i show that the cry of conservatism now raised d by b the Republican Republican lican party part Is a counterfeit of the grossest character and that If Ir the people accept It as pure gold they will awaken to find that It has turned to mere alloy allo for It Is a conservatism that stands for retrogression and not progress pro and If It It were long to prevail would not only mean universal stagnation but the hands of or the clock would be turned backward toward the pe period period nod when man stalked the earth with bow and spear clad In the skins of or the wild beasts and preyed upon everything that crossed his path You rou ou will be able to show that the Dem Democratic party part Is capable of or bringing about wholesale reforms without alarm or dan danger danger danger ger to those who have become the innocent possessors of the Inflated securities which Republican prosperity and a solemn prom promise promIse promise ise to keep it up Induced them to pur purchase purchase purchase chase and Bias Passing from a survey of ot conditions and principles to the consideration of can candidates candidates you ou will be b able to show that taking the Chicago platform the uncertainty uncertainty uncertainty of o Taft Tatt on great public questions and the known corporation bias of ot Sher Sherman Sherman Sherman man together they constitute the Republican Republican Republican lican part s official apology for the up uproar uproar uproar roar that has been created among the big Interests during the last six years ears You will wilt be able to show that Taft Tart Is attempting to reach the White house through a mirror maze which Is likely to leave leae him on November 3 just juse where he started on the eighteenth of oC June After Atter reading rending Tafts Tarts letter Jetter of o acceptance you ou will be able to how that his acv Is like on of or those newfangled signs that tha we see so often otten upon the streets when you ou are arc approaching it reads rends one thing Continued on Page 6 J JOHI JOHN W KERN REPLIES TO 10 ADDRESS Of SHERMAN SHIRMAN Continued from Page 1 and when you are leaving It spells some somo something something thing else And also In this connection you 01 will be able to show that In places where here Roosevelt is 18 supposed to enjoy great popularity It is sun Into the ears ol 01 ot othis his admirers that It If Taft TaCt is fleeted th the spirit of ot the departed Roosevelt will b be found crouching behind the tha throne ani an directing now new onslaughts against the cor corporations corporations and that In sections where Roosevelt has haa Incurred the grave censure by reason of ot his strenuous policies they are whispering In tho the car ear of or the Standard Oil on the tho trust tho the transportation companies and others of or their Ilk that thai after atter the fourth of ot March tho the shade pi It Roosevelt will be found wandering through the Jungles of ot Africa in pursuit of ot bigger game leaving Taft to deal complacently with the offending corporations Even those who believed b that before aft was nominated for the presidency he ho was thor thoroughly thoroughly thoroughly dipped In waters now have a II lurking suspicion that somebody had him like Achilles by the tendon of ot the heels that he might not prove wholly in invulnerable Invulnerable Invulnerable vulnerable to assaults In ii the event of ot his hI To those who re regard regard regard gard Roosevelt as ns a second Cromwell who is handing down his iron rule to Taft as rs his natural successor It will be sufficient to suggest that when Oliver passed the commonwealth to Richard it was but the forerunner of ot the restoration of ot the Stu Stuarts Stuarts Stuarts arts and the tho downfall of ot tho the commons Unsavory Career of Sherman Of Ot your opponent Sherman you ou will be beable beable beable able to show sho without violating the ethics of politics that his career In congress has been distinguished only by his absolute absolute absolute lute to the oligarchy In con control control control of ot the tho house of ot representatives and anI that when Cannon consented to the th pas pal passage passage sage of ot Sherman at the Chicago conven convention convention convention tion he was simply putting his O 0 K IC on another measure satisfactory to the com corn committee committee on rules rulea and tho the interests they the rep represent resent r nt in comparing our standard bearer bearor with the tho leader of ot the tho Republican forces you will bo be able to show that the Dem Democracy Democracy presents as IS a candidate for president pre l dent a man who In sunshine and In gloom has hns kept the faith with his people a n watchman in the night who has lighted the signal fires and sounded tho the tocsin bell ell whenever Invasion has hn threatened his slumbering countrymen a II patriot who be believes believes that in the love loe of ot country must be closely akin to the tho affection that hovers about and sanctities sanctifies the hearthstone of American homes a scholar who has pa patiently patiently patiently examined the historic lore of ot his own and other lands to discover the social and economic laws that control the life of ot human societies a statesman who knows that governments can endure only onlIn In the observance of or great groat moral truths and that the tho acquisition of ot enormous wealth unrestrained by th sanctions of the conscience only onh hastens the th declines dechino that must ultimately end In death In closing with the mention of Bryan nr an and Kern Mr Bell Dell aroused a II tion which again broke broko forth from the crowd when Mr Kern arose to reply Mr Kerns Address Gentlemen e or of the tho N Notification Commit tee For the tho kindly and courteous man manT manner T ner fler r In which you ou have
