speech on the hotel piazza.
Mr.. Bryan spoke as follows: Ladies
and gentlemen: You who have come here
10 rest don't want your rest disturbed
10y a speech. Voices I'VE do" and laugh
teri
I'VE are very glad to be here to greet
You, and 1 am not going to violate the
pToprieties of the occasion by attempting
political speech, except to say this, that
all those who are interested in their coun-
try's welfare are anxious to have the gov
eminent so administered that a larger
portion of our people will be able to spend
some time each year at summer resorts to
obtain strength for the duties of life, and
any policy, no matter by whom advocated
that will make life harder for those who
toll ought not to expect encouragement
from the American people (Applause)
i have made a statement that cannot
be called partisan. for any person who is
advocating a policy not best for the people
does not tell the people that he is advo-
eating that. CLaughter) l am informed
mat there are a good many western people
here and that was one of the things that
induced me to come | am always glad
70 have western people, because 1 don't
peleVe in the old statement made in the
Bible that the wise men come from the
east tLaughter)
u don't believe that that statement
ought to be emphasized too much. Naugl-
ler) / am afraid some of our brethren
i'll the east have the idea that wisdom
originates and dies in the east, and 1 am
elal TO have western people come here and
eommingle with you because I believe
mat the more you become acquainted
WIN western people the better you will
AAe them, and you will come to know
mat they do not wear horns. Naugh-
tef) believe when you become ac
4lanted with them you will know that
uey are flesh of your flesh and blood Of
your blood, and have the interests of the
country at heart as much as you have
,.-4 If they differ with you on some ques-
1'y-s you ought to remember the differ
g-l conditions that surround them.
want all portions of this country to be
o-'osnt nearer together in order that we
--'l strive as members of a common
n-'1nerhood to make this the greatest ma
~. on Gods foot-stool. (Applause)
