After the trio of bellgerents had been
summarily elected Mr.. Bryan went on
with his speech.
In part Mr.. Bryan said: Our opponents
want you to believe that we are opposed
to the enforcement of law. So far as that
criticism is directed against me as can
didate, I assert what have asserted be.
fore, that there is not citizen in all this
land who believes more thoroughly In the
enforcement of every law upon the statute
books than do And, my friends, II by
the suffrages Of my countryIhen ! am
made the chief executive Of this nation, !
will promise you that I will so enforce the
laws that some Of my critics will come and
on their knees beg not to have them en-
forced. The worst part Of all this opposi-
ton is that the men who attempt to de-
stroy labor organizations and to make the
laboring men defenceless are theNfeh swho
in this campaign are attempting to use
the votes of laborers themselves to over
throw their rights.
They do not dare to attack the arpltra'
ton plank and yet that arbitration plank
does more to account for the violent oppo-
sition of the railroad presidents than al
Of our platform together. There is another
tplaI,k in there that they find fault With
but they don't care much about It. aand
that is the plank where we protest against
government by injunction and In favor OF
people who are arrested for contempt
Why did they not criticse that plank:
Because the bill which we Endorsed in our
platform passed the senate of the United
States without opposition enough to secure
roll call. The bill is just. 1t gives trial
by jury. and these men dare not oppose
the justice Of the measure. and therefore
they seek some other excuse unon Wfdch
to oppose the principles of ourss platform
and then they attempt to coeree tleir"neE
and compel them to join with the railroad
companies in opposition.

Mr. Bryan--As the nominee Of those who
