Eisteddfod At Embury. Much interest is 'centered in the tisteddfod to be held at the Embury THE (JEWS (Contlaaed From Pace Oac) of the Democratic state convention.

His notification speech follows: It was my privilege, as well as great honor, to be selected by the Demo crate State convention, assembled in the city of Harrisburg on May last. JVZZX'JZZZI '3 important assemblage, and following party in the state faces a great 'oppor the custom and the ruus of the jarty, tunity. as well as a great responsibility oloyers. liability act still remains un realised. We recall that there has been Dut one Democratic official in Pennsylvania in eighteen years, and yet in his one short term as state treasurer he exposed the capltol corruption, aroused conscience of the people of the state and thus paved the way for recent reform victories in our larger 'Cities." Falthrml Servaats Heeded.

Tou as candidates represent the free choice of th people at the polls, not the suggestion of the boss or the boss system. Tou are a part of a great state that is the pride and boast of its people. The development of its industrial and business life imperatively demand an intelligent and faithful dis charge of the duties of its public ser vants. These posts require men or honor and honesty at their head. Our and we shall confidently appeal to.

the people to place this responsibility in your nands. Tne nope 01 reaemp tion of. Pennsylvania from the corrupt and notorius political machine which has tarnishel our fair name is in you. Our party is stronger in Pennsylvania than it ever was before. All factions have seen reunited and stand ready to battle with the common enemy.

Not since. the Civil War have we entered upon a political contest under such bright prospects. Our declaration of principles are such that, regardless of party, the citizens of the commonwealth can vote to sustain; and upon such a platform public sentiment will demand your elections. Yours, therefore, is a great opportunity to save your state and nation, and unless we mistake the time and the tener of the people of Pennsylvania you shall be declared the choice of the electorate to these respective offices In the coming election. Let us look briefly" to the party's hopes in the broad sphere of national politics.

As in the state, so the people of our country look to the Democratic nartv for the redemntlon of the nation. The result of the party's work at Balti mora affords encouragement to work earnestly for. the victory in November. The platform Is a declaration of princi ples to wmcn not only tne uemocrai, but the voter generally, can subscribe. It is again the historic responsibility oi Democracy to save tne common people, and the great party of Jefferson that never failed to answer thesum mons of the plain people will not refuse the call now Troubles, serious and grave, are abroad In the land and our party will not be true to Its traditions if it fail to find the.

remedy. Have we heard the demand or our countrymen that their government shall be restored to them and that they shall again rule the land? The result of our party's deliberations at Baltimore furnishes the answer, and the nomination of Wood row Wilson and Marshall points the way! If ever a nomination voiced the will, not only of the majority of the party, but respected the demand of the country, it was there when these two splendid types of American statesmen were madethe standard bearers of the prin ciDles of the Party, and when the delib erate Judgment of that historic convention found expression in their choice. And the issues before the country are plain. Some of them are overshadowing. The time is too short for me to discuss them at length, but there must be restoration made fif representative government to the people.

The rule of the people must take the place of the rule of the boss. The American people insist that nothing shall stop the progress in the movement toward the control of their own affairs. That private raanageemnt and organized selfishness must yield to government honestly administered for all the people. Most Be Corrected, The gross evils of the Republican tariff system must be corrected. The American people demand relief from the present system of taxation under so called nrotective tariff enacted into law for the purpose of protecting corporate wealth.

They demand a substitute that wilr relieve the burden of the plain people and recent history furnished, an example as to how this can be accomplished. The present Democratic house or 'representatives In Congress secured the passage of a bill in which the necessities of life were reduced from' tax duty. This beneficent" legislation was denied the people' by a Republican president again SBklng to be continued in his high office, and the same president who was loud in bis promise to assist in revising the tariff downward, but who did not hesitate to break his pledges and promises to the American people when opportunity afforded it. Indeed the two opposing candidates to Governor Wilson for the presidency, one. in the general raving about, the rule of the people, the other with apparent earnestness proclaiming his safe and sane progressiveness, furnish a splendid example how.

pledges and promises to the America people can be easily broken. And' so with our own state at Pennsylvania demands reforms, sweeping reforms, in the conduct of its public affairs. Our people are entitled to demand and receive. efficient service from the public official The two state offices to be voted for this Fall are important in the government of the state. The omission in public service in the department of both of: them during the time they have been under the con 1 trol of Republicans would make a long! Indictment and a change in their gov ernment for the benefit of all the people is demanded.

With these vital and serious questions before the. American neosle. and the people of Pennsylvania; with the history oi our party ptart in the material development of 'the state and nation, with the declaralon of principles of our party; let us confidently appeal to the voter for the redemption of the nation and state. In accepting the nomination for state treasurer, Mr. Berry Ber'y's Acceptance.

In accepting the nomination of, the Democrats of Pennsylvania for the office of state treasurer, I appreciate the high compliment as well as the responsibility We are in the midst of a crisis in American politics, and thost who stand as candidates should apeak in no uncertain terms both as to the aspiration that move them, and the constructive methods they propose for the relief of the people from existing evils The time has arrived when the people can no longer be scared or fooled. The bluff of the boss has been called; and we are face to face with the fact that the men who have in the past determined our political and economic policies either" did not know how to establish social Justice, or did not wish, to do so. Briefly stated, the result of their manipulation or governmental forces has been the absorption of nine tenths of. the wealth of the nation by less than one tenth of the people. This process of absorption has so far progressed as to broaden the zone of suffering until it includes not only the very poor and ill equipped, but the more intelligent and resourceful middle classes as well.

In fact, almost all producers, whether employers or employed, are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet; and only those who are protected by some form or degree of monopoly are ever safe f'Om business disaster. I am merely stating the facts familiar to all, and without challenging the motives of. those who are responsible, as one of the great majority, have determined to have a remedy. A storm of protest has been gathering for many years, and now is breaking in a deluge that is Making those who are responsible run to cover. The Hew party.

Mr. Roosevelt, at the head of a new party, promises vociferously to. vigorously attack the problems and at once establish the economic mlllenium. "Safety" and "sanity" are words outside of his vocabulary. Promises.

and pyrotechnic syntax, covering every vagary imaginable in his program. "Wide is the gate and broad is the way 'that leads to Theodore," and "many there be" that seem disposed to in thereof Certain it is that the great majority of those that are disposed to follow Mr. Roosevelt are just as sincere in their purpose to remedy existing evils as any one can be, but is their hope in Mr. Roosevelt well founded? I do not think A sober reflection upon the facts will. I think the illusion that blir.ils many who are sincerely follow ii For seven and a half years Mr.

I w4S president of thl United (TAVEBSHAMS TO PLAY SHAKESPEARE Mr. William Faversham, bettei known to the stage as Miss Julie Opp, on returning to America recently from Europe, has announced that she and Mr. Faversham are to take up Shakespearean plays, and in the principal role will perform in various parts of the United States and Canada. States, and It is a fact of history that during his incumbency the number of trusts and predatory interests increased seventy fold, and their capitalization rose from three billions to thirty billions of dollars. No program 'of, or standard for regulating a monopoly in private hands ever has, or ever can be proposed that does not put the power of government behind a private investment to guarantee a dividend upon it; and if such guarantee is given, every industry will justly claim it, down to the last individual laborer.

This is the most dangerous form of Socialism ever presented in this or any other country, dangerous because disguised, and h. ginning at the top, its progress down the incline will be much more the rapid man any possime soap box movement from the bottom upward can be. Must Modify Tariff. In ignorance of the basic fact that until the tariff is modified so as to open competition upon the monopolies, and the currency reformed so that it will automatically respond to the growth of business and maintain prices under condition of full industrial activity. Mr.

Roosevelt ignores these great questions, and proposes to ally the great accumulations of capital so closely with the government as to make them even more identical and powerful than now, and with the sops of promised "minimum wage" and "so cial justice thrown to the plain peo pie, hopes to lure them into a further submission to plutocratic rule. The surces from which the Moose campaign has been so liberally financed should warn the plain people in this emergency. No treatment of the trust problem can be satisfactory to these men and serve the people ade quately at the same time. The linpotency of Mr. Roosevelt as a trust doctor is clearly evident, but some may assume that he will choose men' to serve on the trust commission who are competent; but our experience with him as a chooser of men oV as a Judge of human nature Is not reassuring.

He chose Mr. 'raft as the one man in fifty millions best qualified to serve as president, denounced Mr. Bryan as a demamogue and his policies as dangerous; and now denounces Taft as a monumentaLJallure, and advocates the very policies he formerly denounced. Not a few of his cabinet ministers are also smarting under the lash of his disapproval as well as Mr. Taft.

"Weighed in the bafcnees and found wanting." will benhe final verdict of thoughtful men upon Mr. Roosevelt as a constructive statesman. Last, but not least, Woodrow Wll son, governor of New Jersey, ripe in scholarship, clean in record, and constructively orosrressive and effective as governor of New Jersey; stands as the candidate of the Democratic party, seeking to lead progressive America into the canan or social justice. Since neither his character, his rec ord, his ability, or his fitness is challenged, we need not discuss them. He is the candidate of the oldest political party In the nation, and this party has been 'the sponsor in times past for certain practices, for.

which no progressive now living would wish to stand, and the charge is made by Mr. Roosevelt that it Is still controlled by sinister influences, We need to review; Its recent history to see whether it is a fit instrument forour present use. Calls It Fit Instrument. The national Democratic party, as now constructed, is a fit instrument for the immediate use of the people in restoring right standards of government. Mr.

Wilson is superlatively fitted to be lts candidate; and the candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt cannot possibly be justified from the viewpoint of a real progressive. The national Republican party stands for the ultra conservative idea of government, and Mr. Taft's candidacy is thus justified; but if the elements of selfishness and personal ambition are eliminated, Mr. Roosevelt's candidacy at this time is entirely unwarranted.

In the matter of the state campaign, we are to be congratulated upon the fact that both of the political parties have witnessed successful revolutions against the rule of the bosses, and our choice here must be made upon somewhat different grounds, though the same basic principles apply. The reform movement In the Republican party is the separation of Its parts is not complete, the cleavage is not well Articulated In vertebra, and interlaced with the crossing fibres of selfish interest, office holders and office seekers still cling to both sections, obliterating the line of cleavage and make the seceding element uncertain as an instrument of reform. The state Democracq untainted and undefiled by office seeking greed, has purged itself to the last tissue of boss control, and stands available to the use of its candidates for the purification of our state. The candidates, all chosen without dictation of boss or Interests; are men of ability and character, capable of using the opportunity to ite full. To one of the candidates, at least, may be applied the test of experience.

I i has served the state on a former occasion, and the 'result of his stewardship is known to you all. Though not a candidate for the nomination, he now engages to accept the if elected, and will serve again to the best of his ability. imnunu honrt Issues for road build ing are contemplated, and tried men may prove valuable in handling this money. I accept your nomination with thanks, and if elected will serve tne state as best I may. The other candidates also delivered themselves of forceful talks in accepting the call of their party to stand as state candidates.

It will be about o'clock before the notification exercises Will terminate and the candidates and others present then go to the Lackawanna sta tion to participate in tne reception to Governor Woodrow Wilson, Democratic candidate for president who comes here to deliver an address at the Armory tonight GIVE!

Thomas, Dennis Sheehan and Thomas Mcflrue, the Dleasant duty is imposed upon me, as the presiding officer of that notable gathering, to officially notify the candidates, chosen by the delegates, of thjir respective nominations. More than ordinary interest attach ed to the work of that important convention. The election immediately preceding throughout the stats had given emphatic signs that the manner in which th3 affairs of the commonwealth were being administered were not satisfactory, and there was a growing conviction among the people of the commonwealth that the historic and imDerifll commonwealth of Penn sylvania was being despoiled and plundered. 'This was particularly so of the elections of 1910, when 'a the gubernatorial contest, when the candidate of the dominant party, if elected at all, was elected by a small plurality of but a few thousand votes. The Republicans had held their convention of the present year.

The sult of their deliberations offered no comfort or hope to the people of the commonwealth. Thi clamor by the citizens of the commonwealth for the restoration of the government of Pennsylvania to the people was boldly and shamelessly ignored, and the only change wrought was the transfer' from one political boss to that of an other. For at least two years back a very large part of the Democracy throughout the state had undertakjn to reorganize the party with a view of making it at least a militant minority, if not a triumphant ma'C'ty, but whether minority or majority, they resolved not to be but the annex of another nartv. This hone of reorgan ization of the party's forces was not confined at all to the rank of our own party. It reached far beyond it An ancient commonwealth looking back to a century and a half of progress and material development was convinced that her affairs had bien and were being mismanaged.

That some of her public officials were unfaithful in the discharge of their duties. In the awakened conscience of the people there was an apparent insistence of a higher standard of responsibility by th nubile servant. After the Repub lican state convention of the present year held, the only hope ror pennsyi vania was to be found in a reorganized, aggressive and interpid Democracy. A recital of the details of how that reorganization was begun and effected will serve no purpose here. Enough for us to know they met the occasion in a convention that was thor ughly representative; they declared their purpose to restore the commonwealth to the position it should occupy and asserted that the government of a great commonwealth, upon whose soil great things were wrought, must be protected; that a state which yielded precedence to no other must be governed capably and honestly, and that convention declared that the Democratic party is now, as it has ever, been, in favor of bringing back government to: the.

people and they promised to protect it from the control of the Selfish people and special interests, and thit government should not exist for the advantage of some of the people but for them all. what Convention Did. And that convention did more than that. It gave to the electorate of the state an opportunity to intrust some of the affairs of the commonwealth nm' rsnihh and trustworthy hands. The Democratic state convention of the present year has no apology to tor me result ui.

il wuyia any apologies to make for its nominees and its standard bearers. Along the line that the conduct of the af fairs, of the state must oe serviceaD, businesslike and. progressive, they present to the thoughtful, consideration of the people men of high character, well known integrity and the courage to do, and it presents above all to the voter of the commonwealth an opportunity to bring about changes in the conduct of the affairs of. the state imperatively demanded. A comparison with their opponents most respectfully Invited.

None of them are strangers to us, and most of them are familiar to. us. Pennsylvania is not ungrateful, and Pennsylvania will remember the things that have been accomplished for her and bv whom. She will recall that in 1905 the blush of shame was in her face and it was there because some of her public officials had forgotten their pledges to the people, and they well remember that Wm. H.

Berry was the nominee of the Democratic party then for state treasurer, as he is now. She will not forget that unholy hand were laid upon her and that Wm. H. Berry was responsible for the exposure of the caoitol graft scandal. They will recall that this one sterling Democrat, the only Democrat holding a state office for years did more to Improve the affairs and conditions than the rest of them combined in his great work of reform, and the people will rally to his support in order that the great responsible office that the party has requested you to stand for will again be capably, courageously and faithfully administered.

And in the auditor generals office woak is required and that you, Robert tresswell, honored by your party in the nomination tendered you, shall carry out the pledges of the party to the orely distressed people of Pennsylvania who have hopes that in the event of your election the important matters entrusted you in this important office will be honestly and properly administered, Gave It Approval. In the larger field of national poll tics our party has entered with every hope as to tne final result. Not only the pemocratic party but the whole country seems to have given approval of the work of the Democratic National convention held this year in the city of Baltimore. Every indication seems to point to the triumphant election of that sterling type of American manhood and splendid statesman, Hon. Woodrow ilson, governor of the state of New Jersey.

More than his election is demanded. In point of importance it is very necessary that the next house of representatives in the National Congress shall act in accord with the next president on questions. This suggestion alone carries with it the idea that the voter of Pennsylvania should exercise Judgment in the selection of members of congress. As in the case of Mr. Berry and Cresswell the Demo crate state convention of Pennsylvania rose to the occasion in its nominees for this office, and in George B.

fchaw, Joseph Howley, George McLean and timer E. Greenawalt the Democracy of Pennsylvania shall confidently appeal t.o the citizens of the commonwealth that Mr. Wilson's hands shall be strengthened during his administration by their election. Gentlemen, without further formality, it gives me great pleasure to notify you of your nomination. Tou hold an important place in our commonwealth.

Great things have been wrought by Pennsylvania in the but the future, lays claims upon you which require performance and I am confident that you are keen to the great responsibility upon you. The condition of our state is appalling. It was not stated too strongly in the platform, of the recent Democratic convention which declares: "In our own state of Pennsylvania the people will not readily forget how they were deceived by the promise of a' public utilities bill with the shallow pretense of public hearing followed by an entire abandonment o'f the measure atj the behest of a large corporate "Interests now the promise of goo roads for the state, enacted into the legislation, was nullified by the failure to make appropriations to carry out that legislation into effect; how the oft repeated promise of an enlightened em.
