Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen:
Speaking for Mrs. Bryan well for
myself, L desire to thank the gentlema n
who has gracionsly extended the welcome
and the people who by their presence sup
rort his words. 1t gives us great pleasure
to come here upon this occasion and renew
an oldtime acquaintance with one of your
esteemed citizens. We are glad too. to
find our rest in this quiet place, among the
people who exemplify the truth spoken by
the wise man so many hundred years ago.
When solomon said that he desired neither
riches nor poverty he gave expression to d
thought which we may well consider. In
such community we find equality and fra
ternity and we find people bound together
in friendship that promises well for all
that is good and uplifting.
I'VE are glad to rest here for few days
from the WEAKNESS of the campaign and
we are pleased to know that You who live
among these mountains, where you can
take broader view of these earthly scenes.
are also as citizens able to rise above par
tisarslir and take a broad view of our
political life; that you, as republicans as
we'll as democrats. can lay aside for the
moment all political thoughts and gather
without respect to party affiliations to do
honor to the office to which at this time
aspire"
"And you'll get it," cried voice in the
crowd.
Il have always lived among those who
differed from me, and at all times l have
found some of my best friends among those
who could not agree with me upon public
questions. I am glad. too. that you recos-
niZe that higher plane of citizenship on
which each citizen, while firmly standing
by that in which he believes and courage
ously upholding the cause which he es-
pouses, can at the same time extend to all
others that charity which he asks for him
self. I am glad that we struggle on
with intense earnestness in carrying for
ward those policies which we believe are of
vital Importance We can still, like brethren
stand side by side without feeling that
there is in these contests anything which
should draw forth personal animosity I
thank you for your gathering and for this
