that greeted him were greater than
those at the meetings OF the previous

his itinerary in Handel hall in the down.

Al outdoor gathering Of WgTiSingTler
After luncheon he made two addresses
in the Old Vienna pavilion at Sixtieth
street and Cottage Grove avenue, one
to the crowd in the building and the
other to the thrOng that was unable to
gain a(1rafrtance. Here was the s1nly
sem blance of disturbance manifested
during the day. Two men IN the audi
ence asked, almost simultaneously,
How about North Cardinal % and Mr.
Bryan was replying when one OF the
Guesti0ners insisted on asking 4. question
concerning trusts, when the crowd de-
manded that he be thrown cut and
threatened TO lynch him Mr. Bryan IN
sisted upon answering however, but
could not do so for some time, ewing to
the uproar made by the crowd in ex-
pressing its resentment toward the IN
Q1isitor The latter was saved from vi
oIeRce only by police Interference Mr.
Bryan's night meetings were held On
the north. west. southwest and south
sides OF the city. the closing speech be-
ing made at midnight at State and
Thirty-first streets At the Old Vienna
meeting Mr. Bryan said.
Nothing is too sacred to be attacked
by the Republican party in It's greed for
gold and for foreign lands And I want
to show you that when we denoUnce
these methods that the Republicans now
employ, when we deny their destiny doc
trine. we are only saying what the Re
pubIicans themselves have said in the
past I want to read you what the Re
publican candidate for vice president
said on this subject in-WeII, the book
WIS published IN 1899, copyrighted for
the first time in 1886.
= The general feeling in the west upon
this subject after it was crySta1lize1
is what became known as the manifest
f7- lfs
simplest terms, was that II was our
manifest destiny to swallow up the
lands Of all adjoining nations who are
too weak to Withstand U.s. A theory that
forthwith obtained immense popularity
among al statesmen Of easy tnterna-
tional morality (Applause-) They tel
you It is destiny, manifest destiny MI
Roosevelt described manifest destiny as
the idea Of swallowing up those who are
too weak to Withstand Us. The only diff
ference between the manifest destiny
that he denoUnces and the manifest des-
tiny which he and the Republican party
now support is that when he denounced
the destiny it was swallowing Up ad-
Joining lands and the destiny he supports
crosses an ocean 1000 miles wide to
swallow outside lands (AppIause)
Quoting again from Governor ROcse-
welt. he read the following:
"Of course no one would wish to see
this or any other settled community now
added to CUR domain by force; We want
no unwilling citizens to enter our
union"
was then we want no unwilling citi-
zeus to enter our union That is " hat
Mr.. Roosevelt said then That is what
we say now; but the Republican party
has changed
Mr.. BRYAN continued reading. % The
time to have taken the islands was be-
fore settlers came upon them Euro
pean nations war for the possession Of
thickIy settled DISTRICTS which II con-
tslered will for centuries remain allen
and hostile to the conquerors-' There
he recognized that when you take people
by force they VIII for centuries remain
alien and hostile to the couqueror-
Again reading: . We wiser in our
generation have seized waste solitude
that lay near US, the IruitIess forests
the never-ending plains and the valleys
OF tire great lonely rivers, and have
thrust our sons into them to take pos
session. and = score OF years after s11cn
conquest we see the conquered land
teeu1ng with a people that l. one with
ours
ssThat was good Republican doctrine
then but the Republican party has de-
parted from its old ideals. The RepublI-
can PARTY has accepted European doc
trfnes, and today the Republican party
stands for those policies which nave
been employed by European empires
and which have cursed both the empires
and the colonies. We do not believe in
the holding Of colonies. We 90 not De-
Iieya in holding over people a govern
not want them TO be aliens for centuries
to come. We are not wiling to curse
this nation or the Philippine Islands
with a carpet bag government held II
force by large standing army.
Cheers and continued applause.)
At another point IN his speech Mr.
Bryan said
lone q our Democratic speakers IN

Republican meeting in the same town in
which he was advertised to speak He

publican meeting by mistake. He told
the doorkeeper that he was one OF the

and the man who had charge Of the

thing about pulling down the nag mere.
