When received notice short time
ago of the organization of a silver club
in this city little imagined the tre-
mendous sentiment which seems to be
behind that club. I am glad to meet
those Of this city, the home Of my dis

worth. (Great applause and cheerlng.)
! shall be satisfied CHEERS and ap-
plause)-I shall be satisfied if as pri-
vate individual ] may be able to stand
beside him In public esteem. Cloud

But, my friends. this is not contest
between persons. 1t matters little to
the American people whether your dis
tinguished townsman or myself as in
dividuals occupy the chief executive
position in the greatest nation on earth.
(Great applause.) But 1t does matter
for what policies the president shall
stand. In this campaign persons are

state and in my city are many
people who believe the interests of the
people will be better served by the
election of my opponent, and 1 am graf

terests of the country will be best serv-

"He is your neighbor, as we under
stand the word, but if 7 am not your

financial policy that our opponents tell
us we must endure until foreign relief

ITO my neighbors at home say that
if they believe my opponent should be
