theless that the passage Of that silver bill by the

Ids not think that II will defeat the loan
Mr. Depew added. IN speaking Of the Issue: II
the loan had not been 4 success u would nave
been a paradox I doubt whether there has been
ANYTHING in the history Of the present Admin
tstrstion that has stirred UP the people Ike this
bond Issue. believe that Rad not President

public sentiment would have run so high that
he would have been impeached. ! am surprised
