ACCEPTS. NOMINATION
More Than 20,000 People Hear
Candidate at Lincoln, Neb.
REFORMATION, NOT REVOLUTION
Condemns Taft For Stand on Cam-
paign Publicity — Republican
Party Impotent to Secure Relief
~=-Will Convene Congress.
Lincoln, Neb.—In the presence of
over 20,000 people, William J. Bryan
was informed that he is the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency of
the United States,
Hon. Henry D. Clayton, of Ala-
bama, chairman of the Notification
Committee, said the Democratic con-
vention stood for the conservatism of
government under a written Consti-
tution.
Where the notification speech was
not controversial Mr. Bryan confined
himself to three positive declarations:
The immediate convening of Con-
gress in extraordinary session follow-
ing his inaughration, if elected, to
pass a measure for the election of
United States Senators by popular
yote,
The radical amendment of rules of
procedure in the House of Represen=
tatives to bring it “into harmony with
the ideas of those who framed our
Constitution and founded our Govern-
ment.”
A promise that if the reforms pro-
posed by the Democratic platform are
not applied to the Federal Govern-
ment now, other reforms will have to
be applied at some time in the
future.
Nomination Accepted.
In reply to Mr. Clayton, Mr. Bryan
sald:
Mr. Clayton and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee—I cannot ac-
cept the nomination which you
officially tender without first acknow]-
edging my deep indebtedness to the
Democratic party for the extraor-
dinary honor which it has conferred
upon me. Having twice before been
a candidate for the Presidency, in
campaigns which ended in defeat, a
third nomination, the result of the
free and voluntary act of the voters
of the party, can only be explained
by a substantial and undisputed
growth in the principles and policies
for which 1, with a multitude of oth-
ere, have contended. As these princi-
ples and policies have given me what-
ever political strength I possess, the
action of the convention not only re-
ens my attachment to them
A Platform is Binding.
tion, and, in that letter of acceptance,
will deal with the platform in detail
It is sufficient, at this time. to assure
both the letter and the spirit of the
platform. I indorse it as a whole and
in part, and shall, if elected, regard
its declarations as binding upon me
And, I may add, a platform is bind-
ing as to what it omits as well as to
what it contains: According to the
Democratic idea, the people think
for themselves and select officials to
carry out their wishes The voters
are the sovereigns, the officials are
the servants, employed for a fixed
time and at a stated salary to do what
the sovereigns want done, and to do
it in a way the sovereigns want it
done, Platforms are entirely in har-
mony with this Democratic idea. A
platform announces the party's posi-
tion on the questions which are at
issue; and an official is pot at liberty
to use the authority vested in him to
urge personal views which have not
been submitted to the voters for thelr
approval. If ome is nominated upon
# platform which isnot satisfactory to
him, he must, if candid, either de-
cline the nomination or, in accepting
It, propose an amended platform in
leu of the one adopted by the conven-
tion. No such situation, however,
confronts your candidate, for the piat-
form upon which 1 was nominated not
only contains nothing from which I
dissent, but ft specifically outlines all
the remedial legislation which we can
hope to secure during the next four
years.
Republican Challenge Accepted,
The distinguished statesman who
received the Republican nomination
for President said in his notification
speech: “The strength of the Repub-
lican cause in the campaign at hand
is the fact that we represent the poli-
cies essential to the reform of known
abuses, to the continuance of liberty
and true prosperity, and that we are
determined, as our platform unequiv-
ocally declares, to maintain them and
carry them on.”
In the name of the Democratic par-
ty, I accept the challenge, and charge
that the Republican party is respon-
gible for all the abuses which now
that it is impotent to accomplish the
reforms which are imperatively need-
ed. Further, I cannot concur in the
statement that the Republican plat-
form unequivocally declares for the
reforms that are necessary. on the
contrary, 1 affirm that it openly and
notoriously disappoints the hopes
and expectationsof reformers, wheth.
er those reformers be Republicans or
Demoerats. So far did the Republi
can convention fall short of its duty
that the Republican candidate felt ft

Shall the People Rule?
Our platform declares that the
overshadowing issue which manifests
itself in all the questions now under
discussion {8 ‘Shall the people rule?”
No matter which way we turn: no
matter to what subject we address
ourselves, the same questions con-
fronts us: Shall the people control
their own government, and use that
government for the protection of
their rights and for the promotion of
their welfare? or shall the represen-
datives of predatory wealth prey upon
a defenseless public, while the offen-
ders secure imnrunity from subsery-
fent officials whom they raise to pow-
er by unscrupulous methods? This
is the ‘issue raised -by the “known
abuses’ to which Mr. Taft refers.
Poplar Election of Senators,
Next to the corrupt use of mogey
the present method of electing United
States Senators is most responsible
for the obstruction of reforms. For
100 years after the adoption of the
Constitution the demand for the pop-
ular election of Senators, while find-
ing increased expression, did not be-
come a dominant sentiment. A con-
stitutional amendment had from time
to time been suggested, and the mat-
ter had been more or less discussed
in few of the States, but the move-
ment had not reached a point where
it manifested itself through Congres-
sional action. In the Fifty-second
Congress, however, a resolution was
reported from a House committee
proposing the necessary constitution-
al amendment, and the resolution
passed the House of Representatives
by a vote which was practically unan-
imous, In the Fifty-third Congress
a2 similar resolution was reported to
and adopted by the House of Repre-
sentatives. Both the Fifty-second and
Fifty-third Congresses were Demo-
cratic. The Republicans gained con-
trol of the House as a result of the
election of 1894, and in the Fifty-
fourth Congress the proposition died
in committee, As time went on, how-
ever, sentiment grew among the peo-
ple until] it forced a Republican Con-
gress to follow the example set by
the Democrats, and then another and
another Republican Congress acted
favorably. State after State has in-
dorsed this reform, until nearly two-
thirds of the States have recorded
themselves in its favor. The United
States Senate, however, impudently
of the resolution, notwithstanding
the fact that the voters of the United
States, by an overwhelming majority,
demand it And this refusal is the

Personal Inclination Insufficient.
In his notification speech the Re-
publican candidate, speaking of the
election of Senators by the people,
says: "Personally, I am inclined to
favor it, but it is hardly a party
question.” What is necessary to
make this a party question? When
the Democratic convention indorses a
proposition by unanimous vote, and
the Republican convention rejects
the proposition by a vote of 7 to 1.
does it not become an issue between
the parties? Mr. Taft cannot re-
move the question from the arenas of
politics by expressing a personal in-
clination toward the Demderatic Po-
sition. For several years he has
been connected with the administra-
tion. What has he ever sald or done
to bring this question before the
public? What enthusiasm has he
shown in the reformation of the Sen-
ate? What Influence could he exert
in behalf of a reform which his party
has openly and notoriously econ-
demned in its convention, and to
which he is attached only by a be-
lated expression of personal fnclina-
tion?
The Gateway to Other Reforms.
“Shall the people rule?” Every
remedial measure of a national ehar-
a must run the gauntlet of the
Senate ~ The President may person-
ally incline toward a reform: the
House may consent to it; but as long
as the Benate obstruets the reform,
the people must wait. The President
may heed a popular demand; the
House may yield to public opinion;
but as long as the Senate is defiant
the rule of the people is defeated.
The Democratic platform very prop-
erly describes the popular election of
Senators as “the gateway to other
national reforms.” Shall we open the
gate, or shall we allow the exploit-
ing interests to bar the way by the
control of this branch of the Federal
Legislature? Through a Democratic
victory, and through a Democratic
victory only, can the people secure the
popular election of Senators. The

myself, pledged to this reform, and 1
shall convene Congress in exiraor-
dinary session immediately after ine
auguration, and ask, among other
things, for the fulfillment of this plat-
form pledge.
House Rules Despotie.
The third instrumentality employed
to defeat the will of the people is
found in the rules of the Houses of
Representatives. Our platform points
out that “the House of Representa-
tives was designed by the fathers of
the Constitution, to be the popylar
branch of our Government, responsive
to the public will,” and adds:
“The House of Representatives, as
controlled in recent years by the Re-
publican party, has ceased to be a de-
liberative and legislative body, re-
sponsive to the will of a majority of
the members, but has come under the
absolute domination of thé Speaker,
who has entire control of its delibera-
tions and powers of legislation.
“We have observed with amaze-
ment the popular branch of our Fed-
eral Government helpless to obtain
either the consideration or enactment
of measures desired by a majority of
its members.”
This arraignment is fully justified.
The reform Republicans in the House
of Representatives, when in the
minority in their own party, are as
helpless to obtain a hearing or to
secure fa vote Upon a4 Measure as are
the Democrats In the recant session
of the present Congress there was a
considerable element in the Republi-
can party favorable to remedial legis-
lation; but a few leaders, in contro!
of the organization, despotically sup-
pressed these members, and thus
forced a real majority in the House
to submit to a well organized minasr-
ity. The Republican National Con-
vention, instead of rebuking this at-
tack upon popular government, eulo-
gized Congress and nominated as the
Republican candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent one of the men who shared in
the responsibility for the coercion of
the House. Our party demands that
“the House of Representatives shall
agaln becomes a deliberative body,
controlled by a majority of the peo-
ple’s representatives, and not by the
Speaker.” and is pledged to adopt
direct its deliberations and control
legislation.”

Party Has Earned Confidence.
If the voters are satisfied with the
record of the Republican party and
with its management of public af-
fairs we cannot reasonably ask for a
change in sdministration; if. how-
ever, the voters feel that the people,
as a whole, have too little influence
in shaping the policies of the Gov-
ernment; if they feel that great com-
binations of capital have encroached
upon the rights of the masses. and
employed the instrumentalities of
Government to secure an unfair share
of the total wealth produced, then
we have a right to ectpect a verdiet
against the Republican party and in
favor of the Democratic party: for
our party has risked defeat — aye,
suffered defeat —— in {ts &ffort to
arouse the conscience of the public,
and to bring about that very awak-
ening to which Mr. Taft has referred.
Only those who are worthy. .to be
entrusted with leadership in a great
cause, who are willing to die for it,
and the Democratic party has proven
its worthiness by its refusal to pur
chase victory by delivering the peo-
ple into the hands of those who have
despoiled them. In this contest be-
tween Democracy on the one side and
plutocracy on the other, the Demo-
cratic party has taken its position on
the side of equal rights, and invites

itics to secure special privileges ard
