Here is a Bryan Man Who is q Typical

Ouvet. kan. Oct. O.
To the Editor of The State Journal
We notice in your issue Of
October n an article headed
Made Votes for Mckinley. r.
E. Gregory of Lyndon addressed
the Republican club Of Olivet and was
greeted by the largest audience ever
known to have gathered on a similar
occasion. hundreds being unable To
get standing room His speech was
greeted with cheers and applause
throughout and it is estimated that he
made at least 50 Mckinley votes.
Mr.. Editor, it may have been the
largest Republican meeting but the
Democrats have had larger meetings
several times this campaign To l. and
80 tar as hundreds being unable to set
standing room il IS not true. several Of
the seats were vacant part of the time.
especially the latter half Of the meet
ing. and now about the cheering and
applause.it is true he IS as cheared. but ii
was hurrah hurrah for Bryan. and
Mr. Gregory stopped once in his speech
and said- If ] had those fellows
names would teach them how to hol-
low.
Regarding those 50 converts indeed
there are not l25 voters in the town ard
al least two-thirds Of them are Bryan
voters and we believe that there was
not single one converted to the Re
publican ranks and we think probably
some Of the Republicans were SO dis
susred that they viii never vote for
Mckinley. n
