Col. John I Peeler introduced the
Speaker of the evening, referring to
their past acquaintance, when both
were members of the legislature, since
which time they had become fast
frlends. Mr. Peeler told of an incident _
in which he said he had been honored bard of Tyler, F. R. Lubbock, Sui Ross

nothing new or novel in what he says.
It is the old, old doctrine that every
Democrat used to swear by Yet there
is a certain novelty about it. The nov-
elty lies in the fact that we have one
big man left in the public life of this
State who dares to preach the old.
old truth.
"We have come to the point In this
country when red-blooded men have
got to stand up and defend the prin-
ciple* upon which the government is
founded, or we will see it perish. Cen-
tralisation of power in Washington,
the surrender of States' rights and lo-
cal self-government. the spread of so-
cialiam and communism, the ever-
growing spirit of paternalism and the
domination of classes for classes are
eating at the very vitals of free gov-
ernment. If these conditions are not
changed, If men do not awaken to
the high responsibility resting upon
them, these dangerous agencies ever
at work will finally produce anarchy.
| in this country we have the balance.
I We should prize it very highly and
exercise it very intelligently. In the
old world from time immorial kings,
monarchs and rulers claimed to rule
over the people by the divine right of
high heaven. They asserted monstrous
doctrines that they obtained title to
their office from almighty God and
that therefore they could do no wrong.

set on fire. Those great men and
others of like kind instructed the peo-
ple in the science of good government

everlasting truths of, Thomas Jeffer-
son, in the fundamental doctrines of
civil and religious liberty. They dis-
cussed the very structure of our gov-
ernment and the foundations upon
which it rests. They knew that the

Democratic platforms of this state
have declared that a man’s views on

stituted no test of his Democracy or
of his fitness for public office and yet
you will find men in recent years de-
daring and pretending to believe that

crat at the same time, much less a
gentleman. Every governor of this

Colonel Lanham was too much of a
Democrat to have eyer asked any man
to vote for him for governor on the
ground that he was a prohibitionst.

indications point to Mr. Bailey's nom-
ination.
That the Travis County organiza-

that it will be made up of leading and
most responsible citizens of the coun-
ty is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Neff,
It is known, has an organization in

that all powers not surrendered to the
Federal Government were reserved to
the states and the people. They im-
pressed upon the minds of Texans that
concentration of power in a centralised
government was dangerous. That it
had destroyed government* for ount-
1 less age* and that our safety depend-
ed upon us preserving and holding to
the idea of the sovereignty of the
state*. <
“They perfectly understood that if i
the time should ever come that the
states by gradual surrender of their
powers in the Federal government they
would be reduced to the level of mere 1
provinces in the Federal Union then we
would have paved the way for the I
overthrow of the best government that
har eVer been founded in the worid's
history. Those great Democrats
warned the people of the dangers that
might arise from time to time and
they constantly advised the voters of [
this state that eternal vigilance was
the price of liberty.
“The great Democratic statesmen in
all the states in those times preached
the same doctrine. Lamar and George
of Mississippi. Ben Hill and Alexander
Stephens of Georgia, Harris and Tay-
lor of Tennessee, Vest and Cockrell of
Missouri, Old Allen G. Therman of
Ohio, Daniel W. Voorhees of Indiana,

Judge Greenwood Talks.
When Judge Greenwood came to the
front of the speaker’s stand he was
greeted with applause and enthusiasm,
which kept up throughout the evening.
It is not practicable to give his remarks
in full, but the leading thoughts given
out by him will be found below.
Referring to early times he declared
that he was a native Texan and had
been a Democrat since he first came to
undestand the philosophy of our gov-
ernment Rsterrlng to hs boyhood
days he said: "When I was a lad of a
