MIR. Bryan spoke as follows:
Feilow Citizens, 1 have not time TO
enter into an elaborate discussion of the
Issues presented to the people I'm ,his

to few things which may assist you
IN deciding on which side you should
cast YOUR influence.
There are certain things which you

Tic speakers to help their audiences TO
understand the merits OF disputed uucs-
ions. and Ii is one of the evidences of
sincerity OF purpose that the person
ulScusSlhg the public issues shall dis
cuss them plainly, clearly so that every
one can understand Just what Is said
ana 1ust what is meant when amhiru
Gus language is used, when obscure ex
nresSiohs are employed. IL is an assured
--'ct tnat the person using them has had
something TO conceal rather than TO
make plain. The good book syeaks of
certain persons who love darkness rath-
er than light. and the good book gives
reason for that peculiar affection

darkness rather than light because thrIr

Let me call your attention to some

who quotes what leading merchant

saws that there is a well founded ru-

friends. is the sort of argument that Is
being spread before the American peo-

that we can find out who the r IN are

"But am afraid that they love dark

deeds are evil and they dare not come
out In the open light. Npplause). I call
attention TO this because we can see by
1t what unsubstantial foundation is laid
