(By the Associated Press.)


Cambridge, O., Sept AIR. Bryan found
several hundred people awaiting him
when he arrived at GAINESVILLE early this
morning. The train made a five minute
stop and in response to repeated calls for
the Presidential candidate to speak, he
appeared on the rear platform of the
sleeper. Mr.. Bryan declared laughingly
that he could not shake hands and make
speech but came near doing SO for he
grapsed large number of outstretched
hands, and while doing so, proceeded to
make a brief talk to the people who stood
eagerly waiting. The speech was infor
NAL and was frequently applauded. After
recalling his visit to GAINESVILLE in 1896,
at which time he said he was compelled
10 climb up the fire escape in order to
get into the hall where he, was to speak,
Mr.. BRYAN said
1--WE are in the midst of another cam
paign, and you are to have your part in
the settlement of the questions which are
at issue. In every campaign several is
sues are considered. but some one issue
must be paramount in the mind Of each
person. In this campaign the Democratic
party believes the question of Imperialism
is to be the most important. The party
stands where it did in 1896 on the money
question, but it believes that the form Of
government lis more important than the
kind of money and Imperialism attacks
the principles of government. In saying
this we are not ipdulging in prophesy.
The Porto Rican bill asserts the doctrine
that the Porto Ricans are beyond the pro-
lection Of the Constitution. Never until
within a year has any party asserted the
doctrine that the flag could be carried to
places where the Constitution could not

AT Benwood Mr.. Bryan said:
I'm this country at present. at least,
the people judge as to who shall be elect
ed. My fear is that if we deny that doc
| trine when we come to deal with the
Porto Ricans and FiliDinos we may not
always have that doctrine in force here.
| When we abandon the doctrine that all
| men are created equal. we have to stop
each time to prove we are as good as any
| body else. If we can always keep the
doctrine that all men are endowed with
| inalienablo rights which belong to them
| as men which the Government neither
| gave nor can take away. then we can
have such a government as we want
| Once take away from the people the
power to govern themselves and they
must submit to whatever. government is
put upon them by those able to control.
FULL DINNER PAIL DISCUSSED.
Warrington, w. Va, Sept. AT Came
ron Mr.. Bryan discussed the full dinner
pail proposition in response to sugges-
tion from the crowd, saying in part:
''The gentleman asks me to say some
| thing about the dinner pail. The Republi-
can party is trying to escape discussion
of it's attack upont the foundation principles
of government and when a laboring man
accuses the Republican party of an at
tempt to destroy the Declaration of In
dependence the only answer is that you
have got full dinner pail, and while YOU
have got plenty to eat you should be
satisfied. l want you to remember in the
first place that you cannot satisfy a man
by giving him plenty to eat and in the
second place, want you to take the cost
of what you have to buy as a laboring
man and measure it against your wages
and see if the trusts have not raised the
price of what you buy more than they
have your wages. The Republican party
has no plan for the betterment of the per-
manent condition Of those who toll. but it
has permitted the great branches of in
dustry to be monopolized by a few"
a special from Greensboro says that 1t
