reached this city this morning. He
said he would remain a week, possibly
longer. OF the situation Senator Han
ma said:
II find that the much talked OF

ment that there were no trusts, Hanna

Il repeat that all the organizations

exist, and if any did exist they would
be dealt with as the law in such mat
tiers demands"
Concerning the challenge issued by
Chairman Edmiston of the national
Populist committee to discuss points at
issue, Hanna said if Emission wished
to take issue with him on any of these
matters he would be accommodated.

By way of Introduction, therefore,
may speak of myself giving brief
sketch of my past history.
II am known to you all as Jim, and
because of my fondness for speech
making some call me Preacher jim.
Yet, preacher though | am, | am not
one of the learned doctors of divinity,
nor have l much in common with
them, save the earnestness with which
! follow the path which have marked
out for myself in this life.
II was born about 30 years ago. In
this matter, from the universal laws Of
nature which control us all, l was not
consulted. I was brought into this
world, being myself in no way respon-
sible either for my coming or for the
manner thereof AS trite and unneces-
sary a statement as this may seem to
be, it has an important bearing upon
what may call my theme for tonight.
Being born, some one decided that I
should be known by the name Of
James, whieh has been abbreviated
into Jim. This name was given to
me in much the same manner and for
