The eastern press is disposed to criticise western communities for paying large sums to hear Bryan talk. While it is regarded as undig- nified for a presidential candidate to place himself on a level with big pumpkins and fat hogs as a county fair attraction, yet Bryan is not so much blamed for filling his purse as his audiences are for being "gulled'' out of their cash. The eastern press doesn't quite understand the situa- tion. Money is so plentiful with western farmers now that they can spare $500 or $700 in a county and never miss it. They were so long without money to spend that the spending of it is a positive luxury. If they want to ''blow in'' a few dol lars seeing big pumpkins, fat swine and windy orators, why begrudge them the pleasure? Farmers must have amusement as well as city folk.
