fact that the governor wrote to New York

Mir. Roosevelt said in part:
Il am passing through part of the state
which can always he depended upon to roll
up great majoritics for the cause of decent
citizenship. In this campaign that is the
peal TO all men. without regard TO their
party affiliations in the past, to stand with
Us now because this is no mere party
contest: this is a contest for the funda-
entail principles. Of American life; for
orderly liberty. for deceucy honor and that
virile patriotism which sees in the flag a
symbol of national greatness and wishes to
uphold it in the face Of the nations of man
kind.

a singular thing in connection with this
campaign is the attitude of the very few
people who, having opposed Bryan four

World Of October 30. 1896. You will see that
when an attempt was made to break up

Cochran said: Bryan and the crowd of
lunatics and rutfians who follow him illus
trate their platform which stands for an
