Bowers at the Democratic convention at Houston last night and heard by millions over the radio was a masterpiece in delivery, formation, eloquence and coverage. The New York World editorial writer, author and historian ( let loose a flow of words, sentences and descriptives that thrilled his audiences, regardless of political affiliations. As for Democrats, if they were not brought to their feet and did not want to throw their hats into the air or give some demonstration of their enthusiasm, they were glued to the floor. He took his hearers to the roofs with his eloquent use of words, his sound thinking, his cutting rebukes and the throwing down of the gauntlet to the friendly ' enemy. 1 His opening sentence brought out the red-fire of battle, “The American ' Democracy has mobilized today to ' wage a war of extermination against privilege and pillage. We prime our * guns against autocracy and bureau- ' cracy. We march against the ,cen- ' tralization which 'Threatens the liber- 1 ties of the people. We tight for the * republic of the fathers.” He threw out the challenge to battle * for “the honor of the nation, besmirch- 1 ed and bedraggled by the most brazen ’ and shameless carnival of corruption 1 that ever blackened the reputation of 1 a decent and self respecting people.” 1 He plucked the eagle’s feathers, 1 tore out its tail, clipped its wings and 1 to those who listened over the radio and were in sympathy with, not with his charges, for he said, “We make 1 no charge—we follow the official 1 record,” it seemed that he crushed 1 out the very life of the proud bird, 1 emblamatic of the Republican party. 1 The eagle's screams will be heard, it will fight back, it will try to refute ' the public record, but there it stands. It has been read by the public and to the public Bowers addressed his message. To the voters who will decide in November if the powers that have held forth in the capitol shall continue to rule another four years, the author of the “Hamilton and Jefferson period,” made the contrast between the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian forms of government. With his historical background, the keynoter described the Hamilton theory and the Jefferson principle of government, “Hamilton believed that governments are created for the domination of the masses, and Jefferson that they are created for the service of the people. Hamilton proposed a scheme for binding the wealthy to the government oy making government a source of revenue to the wealthy; and Jefferson unfurled his banner of equal rights,” and the principle that “that government is best which governs the least.” He showed the divisions between the Hamilton and Lincoln republicans, "but never the twain shall meet, not even in Kansas City, until you find some way to ride two horses going in opposite directions at the same time.” With a picture of words, painted by the hand of a master orator. Bowers recalled the existence of the government of privilege enthroned at Washington when the Harding administra-

The convention broke loose, banners were taken in hand and the march around the big hall started. Bowers had touched off the powder that for fifteen minutes gave evidence of bursting forth at any moment. Ht reviewed the farmer's plight* the domination over the Coolidge administration by the eastern capitalists, represented by Mr. Mellon, the president's veto of the farm bill and the fact that farm values had depreciated 30 billion dollars in the last live years. “One day the head of the state by a scratch of the pen increased the tariff loot of the pig iron industry by fifty per cent; and the next day he delivered a homily to the farmers on the wickedness of expecting profit from a governmental act. “One day Mr. Mellon offered an argument against a farm relief bill; and the next day a Republican senator by substituting ‘tariff’ for ‘farm relief', and ‘duties’ for ‘equalization fee.’ converted the Mellon argument into a devastating denunciation of the very processes through which j much of the Mellon fortune has been made. "One month, ago the President bitterly denounced with contemptuous ! phrasing the revolving fund of a farm ! relief bill; and the next day he heartily approved the revolving fund for the favored shipping interest. “And then, with millions of producers on the verge of bankruptcy and despair, they contemptuously kicked their case from court and adjourned the congress with a cheer. Thus for eight long years they have stood in the midst of the wreckage of the farms and have done nothing—nothing to decrease the cost of transporting the farmers’ produce to the marts; nothing t 6 rehabilitate his lost markets across the sea; but they have added a billion a year to the cost of the things the farmer has to buy.” \ When he spoke this sentence, “now we do not ask paternalistic privilege for the farmer, but we do demand that the hand of privilege shall be taken out of the farmer's pockets and off the farmer's throat,” the parade started. "They call it “temporary depression.’ And what do they propose,” asked the keynoter, “that the farmers shall become better business men.'’' "Now when it suits the pleasure of the privileged to legislate money into its eoffers it is applauded by the slaQuers as patriotic statesmanship; but when the farmer demands his share in the unhappy game of paternalism they denounce him as radical and a crank.” Touching on business, the fiery orator took up his speech with the assertion, "we wage no war on big business if it be honest business. We find no fault with fortunes, however large, provided they are not accumulated through the misuse of government power.” Refuting the claims of general prosperity, Bowers quoted a remark made by Thomas Jefferson. “Many years ago Thomas Jefferson advised a friend impressed with the evidence of prosperity in the homes of the nobility ■in Paris and Versailles, to go out into the country and look into the pots in the fireplaces of the peasants. That is our answer now.” In keeping with his stride. Mr. Bowers phrased a dramatic close for his memorable address, calling on the democracy of the country to give 'battle for the cause. “Never in a century has there been such a call to us to battle for the faith of our fathers as there is today; and never has the control of government been , so completely concentrated in the

hands of the ruling caste as now. 1 And so we are going back—back.- to ' 1 the old landmarks of liberty and jus-| tice in this campaign. We are mobilized to lead the people back to the old paths of constitutional liberty and to the good way. We are going back—back to the old landmarks of plberty and equality when ordinary men had rights that even power respected; when justice, not privilege, ■ was the watchword of the state. We j face a foe grown arrogant with success—and we shall win because our ; cause is just. The predatory forces before us seek a triumph for the sake of the sacking. We go forth to battle for the cause of man. We close debate and grasp the sword. The time has come. The battle hour has struck. Then to your teuts, 0 Israel.” If you didn't hear Claude Bowers, you never heard a keynote speech. To him should go the title of the "Ace Keynoter.” It was a great speech, a gem and a masterpiece on democracy's stand. It might well be adopted as the Democrat's platform To the end the campaign will be waged against "privilege and pillage.” o — s«♦» «**•*♦*♦* » TWENTY YEARS AGO * * *, * From the Daily Democrat File * * Twenty Years A®c Today ♦ «♦»♦♦¥*»*»**•* June 27—A.

METAL ROOF IS LIGHTNING GUARD Bloomington, Ind., June 27—(U.R) The one almost certain way to escape being electrocuted by lightning is by living in a house with a metal roof, according to Dr. Mason C. Hufford. member of the University of Indiana Physics Department, who was interviewed by the Bloomington Star. With the death of four men who were working on the Indiana University Campus, by lightning In the severe thunderstorm of last week. The Star (teeMedfttb Ret an interview from Dr. Hufford. Lightning, which usually hits in an archied or on building tops, is a hard enemy to escape when it aims at its human target. Dr. Hufford said. But there is one sure way of protection. “it has boon proven that anything placed inside of a metal container cannot lie struck by lightning” the doctor said. “A house with a metal root on it is about the surest protection for the human being. “But metal roofs cannot always be had. A tree, nevertheless is abcut the worst place to be during an electrical storm. It is much better to be in the I open. But as I have stated a metal roof is about the only sure protection.” The Star asked Dr. Hutford the definition of lightning, and he explained it to the interviewer. “Pattides cf water, tubbing against air and against other particles of wat-J er cause them to be changed into elec-1 tricily. When moisture exists it is in a molecule form, and when the hunt!- I dity reaches 100 percent the molecules began to condense on dust, or electrons —j, „■»
