speech Continuing. Mr.. Bryan con-
tt, hoS mo n,
attorney general who has the courage
10 bring suit, and said that II the.
United States attorney had done his
duty there would have been no neces-
sity for the state authorities to take up
the question. Hegsaid that IL he should
be elected the federal administration
would be found moving against all
combinations contrary to law.
Mr.. Bryan was followed by Attorney
General Smyth, who said that he had
been informed he would not be permit
ted to speak. But he had not believed
this. He explained his purpose in
bringing the action which he had instl-
8tuted. saying he had done nothing
more than attempt to enforce the law
OF the state. His purpose was not to-
close the starch factory, but his only
object was to preserve It as an indie

ceived respectful attention. He was
Sfallowed by Hon. j. Hamilton Lewis,
