voice lou won veto n. VIII ySu 81 z
Mr.. Bryan: II will not, but I want you
to have two-thirds, 3 IL possible, in both
houses so that If any change should come
to me and I:should veto it, want you to
have enough votes to pass it over my
veto. But, my friends. you need not have
any fear about my vetoing any measure
which Is In harmony with the platform on
which stand. I have been taught to be-
lieve that platforms are guides to those
elected, not merely a means by which one
may be elected, and you may rest assured
that what is in that platform believe
| IN and that no power on earth Will pre-
vent me carrying that pla out so
far as my ability may go. desire to
thank organized labor in this city for
having completed the equipment so that
/ am now prepared to sign that bill when
ever it reaches me without depending on
ANYBODY else for pen or inkstand or ink
"Tfe golden pen and the silver holder
and the ink, presented tonight shall be.
preserved and IF by the suffrages Of my
couDtrymen am placed in that highest
office within the gift of the people of all
this world, these things shall be used for
the purposes for which they were intended
and Iishall be glad that when the deed is
done will be Indebted not to fnaneiets,
not to trusts, not to corporations not to
syndicates, but to he laboring men, for
the equipment. S5 g
WANTS LABORERs SUPPORT.
My friends, / am glad to have the sup
port Of laboring men, and I will tell you
why. Because, if I am elected by their
votes, all they will ask of me is to 90 my
duty to my country and protect every citi-
zen In the enjoyment Of equal rights and
give special privileges to no man. If I
were elected with the aid Of those great
syndicates and trusts, and aggregations
when they had elected me they would ex-
pect me to employ all my time in aiding
them to get back out of the people more
than they had contributed to elect me
president.
81 thank the glee club for singing that
song. which I think should be made our
battle hymn. Ny friends, In this cam
paign we are fighting in the defense of our
homes and our f1resides and when the coal
trust attempts to send Its representatives
to sit by your firesides and collect tribute
from you, you remember that song,
Home, Home, Sweet Home, and let your
ballot mean that the trusts must be de-
stroyed and that the people shall be freed
from their unlawful exactions.
-" Home, Home. Sweet Home is the
song that you should remember when you
go to cast your votes in November, be
cause, my friends, If you do not use the
ballot to protect that home, Of yours and
that family Of yours, remember that there
is no one in this country who will use his
ballot to do what you neglect to do for
those you love, for those who are the OBJ

you to defend them from all those inf1u-
ences which seek to make home less happy
and. the family; less prosperous; If they
cannot look to- you for defense, then my
friends, to whom can they look?
II say that Home, Sweet Home should
to protect each home In this country from
injury at the hands of any one, and then
in the broader sense, we are trying to
protect our home, our country, from the
domination of foreign financial influences.
The money question is paramount in this
campaign. Other questions can be settled
at any time. The money question must be
settled now. Whenever great party, as
the Republicans party has done, proposes
to, surrender the right to legislate on
question Of domestic concern, just so long
as that question is before the people, no
other question can approach it in inpor-
lance. The Republican party does not say
that we can abandon the gold standard
when we get tired of It, The Republican
platform admits that the people are tired
of it now, because that platform pledges
the Republican, party to substitute the
however, after admitting that the double
standard is better than the gold standard,
tells you that you must submit to a gold
standard until relief comes from abroad.
How long must it be? They set no limit.
Until is a long word. Until may mean
forever my friends, and I believe that the
man who wrote that platform and put in
the word until never expected the lead
ing nations to come to our relief, but ex-
pected that forever we should have the
gold standard in our midst"
