MIR Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are engaged in q campaign upon
which much depends 1 have heard. since
/ came into the state. that a prominent
member of corporation had boosted
that they had $500 Coo TO spend in this sin
gle state to prevent the electoral vote
being cast for the Chicago ticket (Shouts
OF They won't do it, and cheerS.) My
friends. in times of quiet, in times when
people feel no deep interest, money may
possibly be expended N such a way as to
affect the result Of an election. But in
times like these, when the people are in
earnest
MONEY CANNOT CHANGE THE RE-
SUIT
OF an election. Great cheers.) As against
q corruption fund, however we place the
manhood of the voters of the United
States. Great applause) If they are
allowed to intimidate the voters. then the
people in this country are helpless 10 Sc
cure any remedial legislation because ev-
cry time money wins il encourages the
money men TO try intimidation again
(ApplauSe) Every time corruption is sue
cessful. it encourages them to try cor
ruption again, and when they win by
corrupt means they then enact legislation
which secures them out OF the pockets of
the people Of the country vastly more
than they expended in securing the cleo
ton. ICheers.) ! rejoice that such a dem
onstration as has been made tonight is
possible in the state of West Virginia
WITHOUT ANY MONEY BEING
SPENT
TO secure It. CNild and prolonged cheer
ing.) The fact that you are willing TO
give your time and TO contribute even at
a sacrifice whatever was necessary 10
have prepared this magnificent demon
stration is evidence that your heart is in
the work and that you mean business in
this campaign" Great applauSe.l
Mr.. Bryan asserted. as in previous
speeches, that the money question was
the paramount issue Of the campaign, and
gave his familiar explanations of why he
claimed that il was a simple question.
