‘‘Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosperity—these are the issues upon which the Democratic party stands, and the heart of Democracy swells with pride that is more than the pride of party, as it hails the man who has asserted this Americanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this prosperity.”—From Governor Glynn’s keynote speech at St. Louis convention.

Our archaic banking and currency system, prolific of panic and disaster under Republican administrations—long the refuge of the money trust- —has been supplanted by the federal reserve act, a true democracy of credit under government control, already proved a financial bulwark in a world crisis, mobilizing our resources, placing abundant credit at the disposal .of legitimate industry, and making a currency panic impossible.—From the Democratic national platform adopted at St. Louis.

“We condemn all alliances and combinations of individuals in this country, of whatever nationality or descent, who agree and conspire together for the purpose of embarrassing or weakening our government, or of improperly influencing or coercing our public representatives in dealing with any foreign power. We charge that such conspiracies among a limited number exist, and have been instigated for the purpose of advancing the .interests of foreign countries to the prejudice and detriment of our country. We condemn any political party which, in view of the activity of such conspirators, surrenders its integrity or modifies its policy.”—From Democratic platform adopted by St. Louis convention.

•“If this Democratic administration had performed no other public service than the enactment bf the federal reserve act, it would deserve the unstinted approval of a grateful nation. Thanks to Democracy and to Democracy’s great leader, the business man who is struggling to establish himself may now work out

his destiny without living in terror of panics and hard times; tlje toiler in the factory may ply his tasks in security, knowing that his employer’s business is safe from assault. The farmer who must borrow to move his crops may do so without spending his days in anxiety, his nights in nghtmares of foreclosure and disaster. Truly the scholarstatesman, whose rod has struck the golden rock of America’s resources, to set free the wealth imprisoned for half a century, is a Moses who has led America’s industries from the wilderness of doubt and despair to the promised land of prosperity and hope.’’-—From Governor Glynn’s keynote speech at St, Louis convention.
