+ions about the result. He declared that the feel
ing against Bryan in the East which IN ls9o
amounted almost TO terror, no longer existed, and
that hundreds and thousands OF men VINO Voled
against him fou ryears ago, owing 10 sheer frIgnt
had no longer any fear, and would vote Tor Bryan

study the man and his character and abilities

servatve and able.

itinerary OF Governor Roosevelt by saying; There
is a popular conception about this matter The IDEA
is that Roosevelt is popular away IN the West and
and in the South and II IS known that ne Is I'M
popular here in New-York. Take the matter Of MS
a a1ditional speeches in Nebraska. Nobody who is
