/ the creator of the trusts"

CHANGE DIRECTORS
CELINA. o.. oct. g.-At colna the re-
ception was extremely cordial Mr. Bryan
said m part.
This is one of the states in which am
important campaign is being carried ON
This fal. and This election Is not only inn
portant because YOU choose your State
officers this year. but because the verdict
az the polls Will Doe accepted as your opin-
ion upon the issues which are now before
the public. some one has lkened govern
mcnt To a corporation in which every citi-
zen Is a stakeholder. which from time 20
time elects It's directors. Taking that idea
Of government the stockholders can elect
new Board of Directors when they
choose and the directors ought 90 protect
the interests of the stockholders.
The voter has a right TO expect the
officer 10 observe the conditions and
promises OF the platform. The farmer is
careful in the selection Of the hired hand
and ought 10 be In the selection Of the
public officer. but il is said he allows him
self 10 90 to sleep and never awaNCns un-
an the affairs Of the nation have run up
against a stone wall ! think the time has
come when no farmer can afford 10 be a
Republican / believe the farmer who
supports that party stands IN his own
light and is doing himself an injustice"
He made "a passing reference t0 Gov
ernor Roosevelt's appearance IN this state
I'm support Of a larger standing army,
asked II II was for the purpose OF secur-
ing the blessings OF assimilation. and
likened our Philippine policy 10 the co.
lonial policy Of England la India. sug-
-sesting that the President OF the United
states have the title Of president OF the
United states and Emperor OF the Philip
pines
He denounced the preaching that God
had been the instrumentality Of our pres
ence IN the Philippines. and said when
God gets ready to speak TO the American
people he will find somebody else than
Mark Hanna as a mouthpiece."
