GREAT BRYAN SPEECH.
Father McGlynn Says God
Speed and Bless Him.
HIS DOMINATION AN INSPIRATION


CALLY FOR THE CHICAGO PLAT
FORM AND PRAYs THAT AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE WILL NOT Bic MIS-
LED BY PLUTOCRACY.
Before one OF the best audiences that
has yet assembled at the New Castle
Opera House during the campaign,
Rev. Edward McGlynn, d. d., the dis
tinguished Catholic priest of New
York, made clearly and by far the
strongest Democratic speech of the
campaign.
II was to have been q Single Tax
meeting, but the enthusiastic audience
and It's approval of DR.. McGlynn's dec
/ laration: ~ will support Bryan, and
may God bless HIM" led the great
/ Single Taxer to talk principally ON
Democratic ideas.
On the stage were Captain J. E.
Phillips, chairman of the New Castle
Hundred Single Tax Executive Com
mittee; Richard +. Campbell, of VIII
mington, secretary of the Single Tax
Campaign Committee; Joseph f. Car
lin, Charles Il. Lancaster and others
man, Harold Sudell, chairman of the
! Delaware Campaign Committee.
Mr.. Sudell spoke at length on state
issues, particularly the opportunity af-
! forded every citizen at the coming
election. He exhibited sample ball
lot and pointed out the Democratic
ticket as the machine ticket OF Della
ware and the Single Tax ticket on the
right, as It always Is. containing all
the true Bryan Democrats. leaving out
the office of governor and receiver
vital powers to the Democratic ma
chine which was not In favor of Bryan
and progress.
u. r. Cochran, Jr., secretary of the
Democratic Committee was, he said,
the very man who had paid for having
eggs thrown at Single Tax speakers at
Middletown. Mr. Sudell introduced Dr..
McGlynn as a Single Taxer who had
sacrificed all that was dear to his life
for his political faith. DR.. McGlynn
said:

who would as far as he could, be a

truths which are the very essence and
the arc OF all religion, of all goodness
and beauty.
"Man is the favorite object of Gods
regards. His God-like faculties would
remain ever but a little better than a
mere chattering ape If man had not
human society.

clash of contagious selfish interests,

BRYAN AND THE STRAIGHT
TICKET.
"In this present political agitation,
am willing to confess that l am proud
of the candidates that have been Sc
lected by the Single Tax citizens of
Delaware. And l am happy to confess
that | am going to vote for Bryan

any stupidity on the part of worse than
stupid inspectors l am going to vote
the straight ballot. 1t seems to me II
Is eminently wise for every struggling
Single Tdxer to say God speed the chi
cago platform and God bless the can
didate.
I'm fact it is a time for us to draw
the line between true Democracy an'
plutocracy. The lines are being draw
to-day more than ever before he
reditary nobility is comparatively re
spectacle, acquired fortunes becom
blameless, alongside the origna
schemers of the ill-gotten gains WIZ
make it a government by the privilege
rather than a government by the peo
pie. Plutocracy is the result of selfish
ness.

possession of wealth has altendency I
teach anything but charity toward ou

now go out for the Democratic part
because II stands more for the relief
my brethren. (Applause)
