impossible to get away on schedule
time.
At South ST., n large crowd was pres
ent at 8 o'clock and as the time passed
the crowd increased. When the "spe-
cial" arrived not less than 5000 people
were present at the obscure railway
crossing in the southern part Of the
city.
The train consisted of an engine, a
day coach and Col. Bryan's private
car Rambler" No sooner had it stop
ped than Chairman S. G. Rogers, May
or w. e. Young and others of the re-
ception committee boarded the train to
greet the distinguished candidate and
welcome him to Akron. The commit

and Councilman George Brodt. Hon.

present.
1t had been intended to hold an in,

to prepare himself for another CAM

In the meantime the ronr of cannon
and the firing of anvlls just outside the
car announced to the marchers and to
the people in the city that Col. Bryan
had arrived.
A squad of police was son hand to
hold back the crowds. They surged
about the car each one anxious to
catch glimpse of the popular candi.
date. Finally, when all was in readi-
ness, Col. Bryan stepped out upon the
platform. A shout went up that even
silenced the booming of anvils. II
was the shout of one man with thou
sands of voices. 1t was the result of
concerted action. 1t was a mighty
cheer. Col. Bryan bowed his recogni
tion to his cheering admirers and
was hastened through the throng TO an
awaiting carriage drawn by four snow
white horses.
