SRNR Gl —————— (“DEMOCRACY VS. CENTRALIZATION" Nebraskan Selects It as His Text In Addressing 300 Guests at the Jef ferson Club-Dunne an Monies fpal Ownership, "CHICAGO, Sept. 13—Willilam Jen- nings Bryan, soon to leave for a tour of the work), was the recipient of a notable testimonial of es{ecin last night | at a banguet given in his honar Ly the | Jefferson club at their roows, Ran-| dolph and Clark streets, Covers were Iai for 310 guests, and amoug those present were Congressman HH, T.

Masters, president of the Jefferson chub, Clarence 8. Dar row and other Chicagoans. When Mr. Bryan rose to speak he was greeted with an enthusiastic de | monstration, aod it was some minutes | before the applause subsided sufliclent- | Iy to allow him to procesd. He spoke on “Democracy Versus Centralization,™ his speech being lu part as follows: The partial sdoptibn by some of the | Fepublican Waders of remedica proposed i By the Democratic party make it oppor | fuse fo daw a distinction between the | fundamental principles of Democracy and | the principles of those who view subjects | of government from a different stand- | point. There aro two forces constantly al Work in every nation, one force tend. ing to “Bring ihe government nearer to the people and the other tending to carry the government (rom the people. Togo & Hite Farther back, we may start with a proposition that there are but two theo- ries of governmeni-—one that a govern. ment Is a thing created by dhe people for themselves, i= is the theory which is embodisd In our declaration of iode- pendeces, which declares that govern- mets derive thelr just powers from the cunsenit of the governed. The opposite theory I= that governments are imposed by the few upon the many. Such gov. auments rest on force. Few If any gov- ermmants now known entirely exemplify either theory, nearly all If not all of them representing a compromise between the two theories, but in every government there is a tendency either in one direction or the other. If we may represent seif government as the day and an arbitrary and frresponsible government as the night, then most governments would rep. resent the twilight. The twilight that proceeds the dawn gradually brightens Inte day. The twilight that precedes the night ends In darkness, Jt Is very im- portant, therefore, that the Wdeney of a government shall be toward the light. In using the twilight I recognize that it is Bt & riect Hiustration, because the dawn always grows brighter, while the shades of night always grow darker. Pos- idly BH woull be more accurate te de seri contest between Democracy and centralization as like a game of foot- ball, In which the government may be car- ried this way or that way, according as it being at opposite ends . In monarchies the fght for self government fs often made for some far reform without aveowing the and wihout discussing iples, and so In repub- attempt to restrict the power of the people often If not BIvays make their fight under some mask. In this country opposition fe the rule of the Peglle usually takes the form of the ad- vacacy of legislation, which removes au- thority from a point near to the people to some point more remotes from them. This tendency to remove authority from the Jocality to a cenfor farther Away may be described as centralization. If the propasitions upon E are to act. ery sttémpt to take authority away from a community and vest It in some power outside of the com- munity contiins & certain amoun! of ine fidelity to the democratic theory of gov- ernment. In some statgs the police control of the larger cities Is taken out of the hands of the Joop. living In those cities and deposited with the gov of the state. No matter on what this Is done It Is not consistent With confidente In the Sapacity of the {oops for self. government and is certain used as a precedent for a further of the power of the people to control their own affairs, is being ai- rected te the shire to the neIatehmanta M Jreat hdr. upon O peop 38 discussion of femidion reveals Aha among those really re effectively restrain corporations there act he ia-th the federal t and those who desire (0 pre- the integrity end authority of the several states. 1 Invite your atient to subject because It is likely to the rock upon which honest reformors will unless there is a clear understand- of the situation.

It Is only necessary that the legitimate functions of the two govern- ments shall be clearly recognized and their spheres duly respected. | have men tioned only the question of Insurance and the trust question, but there are many subjects which involves the Issue belween Democracy and centralization. It Is nat. ural that the Democratic party should fdvocate the election of senators by a di- rect vote of the people, for this reform would remove a barrier erected between the people and thelr representatives In the senate. This provision of the consth tation was & compromise between those who trusted the people and those who still doubted the capacity of the people for self government. There Is no longer reason for doubl and experiences show that the United Statés senate has become ihe Duiwark of corporate Interests It cannot be brought into sympathetic touch with the people until the method of elec tion Is so changed as to make the mem- bers of the senate responsible directly to the people. The luitialive and the referendum are growing In pepularily because they In. creases the control of the people over thelr more responsive to the popular will It should be the purpose of the Demo- cratic party and its constant effort fo bring the government into harmony with those who live under It and to make it Virtue and patriotism. In proportion as the Democratic party trusts the peaple and protects them it will win the confi. dence and support of the ie, and no one can doudt the final Roda of such & party without doubting the correctness and Srowth of principles of free govern. men Mayor Dunne responded to the toast “The Progress of Municipal Owner ship.” He sald In part; “We have met here to do honor and wish bon voyage to our distinguished and admired guest, Coloue! Bryan. We admire apd respect him because at all times and under all circumstances and In every place in which he found him- seif he has stoad for publicity In poli tics and placed man before Mammon “Whether In victory or la defeat, he has always stood for the right, and the man who so acts must always earn, as he has earned, the respect and confl- dence of Lis fellow countrymen. Aud now that he Is leaving us for a trip abroad our good wishes go with him, apd we ask him In Lis travels abroad to note well the advantages and disad- vantages of governmetital institutions and to bring back to us the beuefits of his observation and experience. Aud particularly we ask him to ingulre into and report to us the results which he discovers of the operation of great pub lic utilities in private and in public lands." Mayor Dunne then discussed the progress made towand municipal own- ership (n Chicago since the spring elec- tien of 1905, saying that be bad no doubt that the plan which he had sub mitted to the city council would If adopted bring about municipal owner ship of the street raliways at a very early date, “No vim]. feature of the plan,” he said, “has been successfully attacked. It has been subjected to abuse, but not criticism; to vilification, but not anal- Fels. It will stand the test of honest Inspection and straightforward Invest) gation, “The fight that the friends of munici- pal ownership ave Inaugurated will go on. Every possible obstacle will be thrown In its way by the vested Inter ests behind the present traction com- panies, but the onward march toward municipal ownership both in this city and throughout the civilized world will be simply retarded, but never defeat- ed.” Injunction Against Lawson Denfed.
