Bryan said:
Ladies and gentiemen-I esteem II
a privilege to stand in the home OF the
senator who Is more responsible for
the present financial policy 81 this
country than any living man in IL. l
beg you without detracting from his
high honors and from his great per-
sonal worth TO consider the financial
policy presented by the democratic
platform and decide for yourselves
whether our policy Is better for YOU
and for your own interests than the
policy so ably supported by your
townsman. IL we present to you that
which Is good. we beg you to accept II.
even though II Is opposed by those who
i've among you.
I'VE have people In our state who be-
lieve that Senator Shermans policy Is
the wisest one. but ! believe that the
American people will decide that the
American government ought to legis-
late for its people on the money ques-
tion without asking the consent or aid
OF any other nation on earth. thank
you for this vast assemblage here and
! beg you to realize the duties which
rest upon American citizens. There
are some who believe that only In
times of war can people prove their
patriotism. I was too young to prove
my patriotism In the time OF war, but
! glory that In q country like ours
every year presents battlefield and
every day gives those who live In the
country an oportunity to prove their
devotion to It. In the campaign upon
which we are now entering which, In
my Judgment In . repetition OF the
campaign OF 177s. there Is an opportu-
nifty for people to prove whether you
be patriots or traitors" (Great ap-
plause).
As the train slowly moved away from
the station the pressure Of the crowd
against the car seemed to threaten
death to many OF the people, but acci-
dents were avoided and men came run
ming several hundred feet to touch
hands with the smiling orator Of the
plains.
