cred brief address, and Mr.. Bryan then
gave a graceful little talk to the ladies'.
Mr.. Bryan said: 'It is gratifying, in-
deed, to be permitted to address so many
on an occasion like this. Had l been elect-
ed, / would not have been surprised, for
l would have expected large gatherings of
the people of this kind looking for my
autograph or commission of some kind"
He then excused his wife's absence, by
saying that he could return and tell her
of the kindness shown him by the ladies
here. Il had hoped" the speaker contin-
ued, that she might have received the
title of the first lady of the land, but even
in the shadow Of defeat, that is what
l call her, and my friends, that is what
she is
Then raising his hand aloft he paid a
beautiful tribute to the intelligence of
woman. when l see good cause suffer-
ing" he said, II always know that wo-
men Will soon be lined up in Its defense"
The women in Colorado, the speaker
said, were not only women who were in
terested in the great questions of the day
lie had addressed gatherings of women
during the campaign and knew that they
were showing great interest in the
question Of silver coinage. "Unless YOU
make politics pure" said Mr. Bryan, In
an emphatic outburst of oratory, poll
tics will be impure. My old mother told
me when / started out in politics: Will
liam, never do anything in politics that
you will be ashamed Of / have tried
TO follow that advice, my friends. The
great motto OF politics should be the at
tainment of equality before the law-spe-
cial privileges to none Those whose DO.
litical notices are the best will live the
best. Success In politics or In business
is a matter OF circumstances. When cdti-
zens are In touch with this government
