another great throng in the vicinity or the

people to desist. out of respect for the Of
fice.
In connection with his discussion of
trusts, Mr.. Bryan said: Every once in
while see it stated that Republican

money, the trust-made man spends other
peoples money" He closed with an ap-
peal to Democratic voters not to allow
themselves to be intinidated at the coming
election.
