YOU'D you be SO blind as to defeat MIR
ibryan by taking Watson off his ticket? Even
IN the height Of political passion and pre-

Mr.. Sewall Is Rational banker, and there
fore out Of touch with the people. Mr. Sewal
is railroad king, and therefore out Of toucn
with the people. Mr.. Sewall is a bond-holder
and therefore out Of touch with the people.
And l make bold here to say that Mr. Bryan
himself has laid down a rule which If car
ried out. will take Mr.. Sewall off the ticket.
He said in New York in a public speech,
