to speak in Seattle the very day

After the delegates to the county

hear for themselves to what depths

t1ous to hold Office, can and will
soooP 10 accomplish that desire.
Mr.. Bryan is said to be a very
tiowery speaker and can amuse
most any audience he appears
before, but falls way short, when
It comes to convincing his hearers.
He will talk, "anti-expansion," a
subject very objectional to all good
Seattleites and he will also talk,

course in this section and no longer

convenient place, where the speak
er can refer to them incidentally

the Republican party since the
