THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-
: FIVE GUESTS ARE SEATED
AT THE TABLES
From Wednesday's Daily. Dan Hamilton of Sigourney, the gift
of the* si*th district of Iowa to the nation; William Jennings Bryan, the democratic party's choice for president, and Andrew Jackson, whose memory the event was to honor, were the prevailing themes at the big sixth district jackson day banquet held last evening in the New Armory building.
The banquet was one of the largest and most representative ever held in the city of Ottumwa or in southern Iowa. Fully 325 plates were laid and the speakers who answered to the various toasts coniprised many of the brightest lights of Iowa democracy. About 150 guests from without the city were present.
The guest of honor was Congressman-elect Daniel W. Hamilton of Sigourney, and the ovation which he received when he arose to answer to his toast was one of the most enthusiastic any public man was ever honored with in the city of Ottumwa.
Another guest of honor in spirit if not in the flesh was the independent voter .to whom many of the speakers paid Tribute as being the greatest aid of the democratic party in the successes scored at the last election.
Five Long Tables For Guests. Five tables running th full length
of the large New Armory building were laid for the guests. The banquet hall was beautifully decorated • with various colored-lights, American flags and bunting of the national colors. The banquet was in four courses and was splendidly served under the personal direction of H. J. Smith, manager of McElroy's restaurant.
The guests for the evening assembled in the armory room and about 8:15 descended into, the banquet hall and took their places at the tables. Owing to the absence of Thomas Kelly of Sigourney, the toastmaster, S. P. Hartman of this city was selected to act in that capacity.
The Ottumwa Harp Orchestra furnished music during the banquet and also complimented several of the speakers by short selections following their toasts.
After the conclusion of the serving

of the courses, the guests drew back their chairs from the tables and the program was begun. Toastmaster Hartman was introduced and in turn with a few appropriate remarks introduced the first speaker of the evening, John P. Reese of Albia, who responded to the toast, "The Solid Delegation from Iowa."
In the course of his remarks, which were very interesting and brilliant, Mr. Reese referred to D. W. Hamilton, congressman-elect, as the solid delegation from Iowa. "He may not be very large, he may not be very noisy, but he is solid every time," said Mr. Reese. The speaker also referred to the solid delegation which Iowa will send to the next national democratic convention, solid for William Jennings Bryan.
Victor and Vanquished Mr. Reese was followed by J. H.
Tucker of Peweshiek county. Mr. Tucker paid tribute to the independent republican voter. "If every democrat,' said he, "has been as true to his party candidate as the independent voter was to us, Claude R. Porter would today be governor-elect of Iowa."
The speaker continued, "Now that Hamilton is elected, we must instruct him how to act. First we want him to keep his eye on the ship subsidy bill and when that bill reaches the house, we want him to propose an amendment striking out all of the provisions of the act except the enabling clause and the amount to be appropriated, and then propose that this amount be voted to establish a merchant marine." Mr. Tucker's toast was "Victor and Vanquished," which he said he took to mean Mr. Hamilton and Major Lacey.
John C. Williams Talks. John C. Williams of Mahaska county
answered to the toast, "The Late Campaign.'' He scored the democrats who had failed to support Claude R. Porter during the last campaign and paid his respects to Major Lacey. He said in part: "We have returned from the sixth district a man who will remember that there is a west as well as an east and that the west has some rights that the'east is bound to respect He will remember that Iowa is a western state and the Sixth district Is a western constituency. This will be a new experience for us, I think."
Result in 1908 Can be Foreseen. In speaking of the coming presiden
tial struggle he said: "Our candidate has already been selected In the hearts of the democracy of the nation. Bryan stands today as he stood for the past sixteen years peerless among men, ad' vocating democratic doctrines. It does not require a prophet to predict the result in 1908."
Ovation for Hamilton. Toastmaster Hartman introduced
the guest of honor and the principal speaker of the evening, Daniel 5V. Hamilton of Sigourney, congressman-elect from the sixth district. Mr. Hamilton was greeted with uproarious ap> plause, amounting to an ovation. All over the banquet hall men rose to their feet, cheered and tossed their napkins in the air, while pandemonium reigned supreme.
Mr. Hamilton's address was elO' quent. "When the cheering had quieted to such an extent that he could make his voice heard above the uproar he began. He said in part:
"Fellow Democrats—I certainly am thankful for the hearty greeting which I have received from you this evening. I am also heartily thnkful to the democrats of the sixth district for the support given me in the last campaign. Had it not been for them and the hard and faithful labor they performed, I would not stand here this evening, the congressman-elect. I also want to thank the independent republicans of this district who sup ported me because of the principles which I advocated, against the candi date of their own party, advocating principles to which they could not subscribe.
All Depends On Independent Voter. "The future perpetuity of our insti-.
tutions depends upon the men who dare to vote as a patriotic conscience dictates against the commands of the party organization. If there ever was a time when such a vote was necessary for the welfare of our country it is now, and in the coming election of 1908.
"Let democracy not sleep. Let both democrats and republicans who believe in the principle, 'Equal rights to all and special privileges to none,' know that the enemies to that principle never sleep. And now I come to the toast that is assigned me. I am to speak of the man whose memory we are honoring tonight, Andrew Jackson.
The Man Jackson. "As we contemplate the man Jack
son we find that it would have been almost impossible for him to be other than he was. Born on the frontier at a time when the country was laboring under a foreign tyranny; growing to manhood while his country was passing through that great struggle which brought it its freedom; living in the wilds of the forests, he drank in that freedom of nature that imbued him with those ideas of right and wrong which come from nature itself.
"Jackson possessed that sort of a mind, that kind of an ideal that could not be swerved by any influence that could be brought to bear upon him. We come to the .time when he was president of the United States. He

more tHan anything else Is more Andrew Jacksons; men who will say that they will place their lives at stake for the principle of equal rights for all and special privileges to none, and that it shall prevail or they will cast the money changers out of the temple.
"If I do nothing else, It shall be a pleasure to me to stand in the Sixtieth congress and vote against the ship subsidy bill. I will say to those fellow who are stockholders in the big building companies and in the steel and iron combinations. 'No, I wont give you money to build ships with, but I will vote to take the duty off the material that goes into them. No vote of mine shall ever be cast that gives you the right to rob the country at both ends of the line.'
"We should not love a leader for himself but for his principle. Let us Jeave this banquet hall tonight with the determination that we shall meet the issues that arise from time to time as that great leader whom we honor this evening would have met them. He measured each issue by one principle, 'Is it in the interest of the general welfare of my country and of the individual citizen?' That is the principle which we should follow and if we follow it there will be no mistake made. ! ?
Trusts and the Tariff.
They may talk to us about railroad made up his mind that he would graft; rate legislation, and anti-trust laws upon the statute books of his country but the evil of trusts and combines laws which should be to the interest | will continue to exist until you take of the individual citizen. He made up i the ax of democracy and lay it at the his mind that he would veto any law | foot of the tree and cut off the source that was not in the interest of each, of supply of corruption that is fed to individual. His friends remonstrated; the trusts by an extortionate tariff with him for the vetoing of many law. Trusts submit to the laws I laws, but that did not move Jackson, have mentioned, to meat inspection, His principle was, 'The welfare of my! but will they submit without the fight country first, my welfare and that of j of their lives to the abolition of that my party second.' tariff which fills their coffers?
When his friends told him that a "The fight is upon you. Fight brave-certain course he was about to take ly and be patient and united and we would ruin the party, Jackson replied, •l may die, and I would not sleep in my grave and know that I had let an opportunity pass to strike a blow for what I thought was right.'
"Cast the Money Changers Out."
will be successful. Be Jacksons, and we will win."
A Polished Orator. Mr. Hamilton was followed by O.
P. Myers of Jasper county. Mr. Myers responded to the subject, 'Iowa
lie was not for compromise, that Democracy," in an address as polish-vehicle which puts laws on our statute! ed and scholarly as it has ever been books favoring corporations. There is; the fortune of an Ottumwa audience no room for compromise between right j to hear. In beautiful word pictures
wrong. What the country needs j he painted the history and achieye-
ments of Iowa democracy and democracy as a whole.
I. T. Dabney was the next speaker. Mr. Dabney was to have spoken on tlje subject, "Present Duties of Democracy." However, as he explained the situation, he had been placed on the program to fill a vacancy, and so recent had been the change that he had no time to prepare a toast. His remarks were witty and to the point, receiving much applause.
T. B. Perry of Monroe county, followed Mr. Dabney. His subject was announced on the program as "Non-Partisan Judiciary," which toast was to have been answered by J. T. Clark-son of Albia. However, Mr. C-larkson was unable to be present and Mr. Perry filled his place most acceptably. His remarks were interesting and heartily applauded, though not exactly responsive to his subject.
The next and last toast of the evening was "It Might Have Been" by John W. Lewis of this city. Mr. Lewis stated that except for the lateness of the hour and the fact that the ground had been thoroughly covered, it might have been that he .would have made a speech.
He spoke individually of each of the distinguished speakers of the evening and complimented them in high terms. In speaking of Mr. Hamilton he said:
Dan Hamilton Given to the Nation. "Gentlemen of Sigourney, he is your
Dan no longer. He is not even our Dan, for the sixth district has given Dan Hamilton to the nation."
Porter Introduced.^ Claude R. Porter, former democratic
candidate for governor of Iowa, was next introduced by Toastmaster Hartman. Mr. Porter was greeted more like a conquering hero than as" one who had led his forces to defeat. The ovation given him when he arose almost equalled that tendered to Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Porter's toast- was "The Flag is Still There."
In opening the speaker paid a deserved tribute to the banquet saying that he had never been privileged to attend one so large, so excellent or so enthusiastic, though he had attended, many .
" Porter's Address. He said in part: "I regret to say that
I come from a district which last fall as well as in previous years was hopelessly republican. I also regret, to say that I led the loyal hosts of Iowa democracy to defeat in the last election.
(Cries of no, no in all parts of the audience.) But I did the best I could and there is not a sore spot in me.
"I am glad to meet with the democrats of the sixth district of Iowa .because of all the eleven districts in the . state, Jt is the only one of which it can be said, 'The flag is still there.'"
In poetic language Mr. Porter de-scribfid the night long vigil of Francis Scott Key, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry near Baltimore, Md., ninety-two. years ago and how through ^ the '"dawn's early light" the author of.. the "Star Spangled Banner"' looked to see if the "flag was still there."
"Ar.d he found it still floating," con-': tinuad Mr. Porter. "Do you know what kept it there. It took three things— courage, devotion ana unity and harmony. If you and I expect to keep the. flag of democracy still floating we must be brave, we must be courage- : ous and we must act in. unison and: "with harmony.
Bryan for President. g "It requires courage to be a demo- ,
crat in Iowa. Year after year we have gone down in defeat before majorities that werev almost brutal in tbeir size.. We have Been brave, we have been devoted, but I regret to say there have been times when we lacked unity and harmony. I know that, there is not a democrat within the sound of my voice ' but that expects and hopes to follow and support that peerless leader of democracy, who is certain to be the candidate of the next national demo-\ eratlc convention for the presidency.1
If we stand shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip, the next president of these . United Slates will be William Jennings Bryan.
"There , is a banner that is greater than the-party banner and that is 'Old;: Glory,' the banner of the nation. Par- : ties are necessary, but they are only| a means to a great end, the preserva--tion of the union and the rights of the individual citizens of the country.1
There is a call today for a whole hearted democracy such as there never has-been in times past. , '
"The t-ixth district of Iowa has recognized this demand and has given to ;..-the nation Dan Hamilton, who stands^ square on all of these principles. I anp an optimist, I believe in the futurist of our great country. If we as dem; f-crats stand true and staunch to o' principles, that flag draping that ws ' yonder shall continue to wave 'o'er tl' land of the free and the home of tJ brave.'"
