ator Stewards lame explanation of his
changed attitude on the silver question
1t reminded him of the Indian who was
wandering around the woods when
somebody asked if he was lost. '-Oh,

president
You are right" replied Judge King,
that was before the modern st. Mark
wrote the Republican Bible
When Judge King, in the course of
further remarks said with great earn
estness, We are going 10 win our fight
this year; we have enough votes and
Wen do it." somebody proposed three
cheers for Bryan, and the audience
gave them with a will.
Toward the close of his speech Judge
King dealt with the trusts and scored
man. telling points against them He
quoted Mark Hanna's statement that
there are no dangerous trusts, and
pointed TO Hanna's defense of the ar

United States government 1913 per ton
for the same product. And still Hama

Of the senate.
In conclusion, Judge King urged his
hearers to rally around the flag, to
rally around Bryan and see to it that
this greatest of Americans is made
chief magistrate.

man Varian announced that on the
night of Oct. Is, in the wigwam, ad-
