One of Chief Justice Judd's sons,
senior at Yale, writes: Last Thurs
day Bryan spoke here. A platform was
erected on the green near Centre
addressed a large crowd. Soon after
mounting the platform. it began to
crack and part of it gave way, which
| created CONSERVATION among the Bry-
antics and was an omen of what was
to follow. After being introduced
Bryan arose amid great cheers-but
cheers of derision-and he stood for
several minutes holding up his hand
for silence-but in vain. 1t was then
that the fellows started the 'Brek-ke
ke-kex'-with Gold and Mckinley at
the end of the yell-and the silverites
on the platform looked mad and Bry
an finally grew tired and sat down.
He tried it again and made quite
lengthy speech, but at last gave it up
in disgust as the yelling and the
noise of band near by were too much
for him. 1 doubt if he would have
been able to speak at all if it had not
been for the efforts of several police
men, who ran out several fellows and
this rather subdued the rest. The
opinions of the press have varied,
some have sustained the fellows, 9th

exceptions it was not the best element
in the college classes that did the
cheering and it is the concensus of
opinion among the fellows that there
was too much of it done and that
Bryan ought to have had more of
show to talk"
Chief Justice Judd's other son
writes
81 may safely say the excitement Of
the week was the visit of Bryan, the
Silvercrat. \ platform by the side of
Center church had been erected and
the Green was crowded with an i'm
mense throng ready to be convinced
by the boy orator of the Platte With
some difficulty I wormed my way
through the crowd to a position near
the stand. The day was hot and the
air in the crowd stifling. Everybody
yelled when Bryan took his place. He
looked very tired, his hair long and
curled about his neck, low collar, low
cut vest and large felt hat, like
Westerner. He looked like an acto..

newspapers say of the discourteous
reception he received from the stud
ents. Of course the students were all
through the crowd, but they did not
cheer for Mckinley any more than did
the 'townies.' 1t was some time before
it was quiet enough for Bryan to
speak and even then those on the out
skirts of the crowd could not hear for
the noise. He spoke like a man who
stuck to lost cause-because there
was nothing else left open to him. In
stead of arguing the question at issue,
he did his best to excite classes in so,
ciety against each other, Poverty
against Wealth. Labor again Capital.
Do you wonder that the Yale men did
not cease their 'jollying' and Kisses

young men who earn their own liv-

not distributors of wealth. and he
made it worse later by saying that

you wonder that Rome howled and
policemen had to be sent among the
crowd to quiet it? Bryan made the
mistake of trying to speak to students
among mixed assembly. He would
have received nothing but courtesy if
he had spoken to us in body by our,
selves. He should have made his little
speech on silver without trying to con.

good thing, for all our studies in
history, both political and economical.

in college and their lives now are
