banks and then, my friends, al the
people will have to do is to bend their
backs a little lower to bear the add1-
tional burdens which will be placed
upon them. Great applause.)
At Breclxinridge, Mr.. Bryan spoke
from the rear platform of his car to
good sized crowd. He was introduced
bv f. C. Gibbs, as the next President,
and said:
Whether my friends, he will
prove his right to be known as pro-
phet will depend somewhat on the re-
suit of the election. | am introduced
as the next President, but my friends,
that can only be when the people so
declare at the ballot box. AS it is
possible the result may be determined
by the vote of one State, and it is pos
sible that that may be this State, and
that the result in this State will be
determined by the vote of one citizen.
These are not probabilities, but 1 am
speaking of possibilities and in such
times when such great interests are at
stake and when the result may turn
upon one vote it is important that ev-
cry citizen shall carefully weigh the
matter before casting his vote. "a

the plank in your platform that con-
dennis the President for enforcing the
law?)"
Mr.. Bryan: "Our platform does not
complain of any enforcement of the
law and no man is afraid of my cleo
ton, because he is afraid | will not
enforce the law. What they are afraid
of is that / will enforce the law against
the big violators of the law. Great APP

LARGEST CROWD AT ST PAUL.
st. Paul, Mimi. Oct. 10.-Mr. Bryan
spoke briefly to a crowd at Herman
and ar Morris, Mimi. the largest and
most enthusiastic crowd was found
since Fargo was left behind. Mr.
Bryan spoke to the people a few mo-
ments from the rear platform of the
car. There was a short stop and
short speech at Benson and another
at Wilmar. 1t was a crowd of farmers
that received Mr.. Bryan from one end
of the trip to the other. He told the
people of Litchtield that the money
question was not too deep for the
commoS people. He cited from James
G. Blaine to support his theory of
free coinage as follows:
THE establishment of gold as the
sole unit of value and the destruction
of silver money would bring enormous
profits to those who hold fixed invest
ments."
On the one side he put the holders
of fixed investments, said Bryan, and
on the other side the rest of the peo-
pie, and stated what was true, that
the holders of fixed investments profit
by 4 rising dollar and that other peo-
pie suffer by a rising dollar.
