light. Mr.. Bryan spoke on the general

everything that could be misrepresent-
I'd. To-day they have not the least
lOpe of carrying this election unless
hey have a bigger campaign fund than
hey have ever had before, and they
can CoerCe every voter that can be
| ,Oerced.'
Bryan to-day asked the Associated
Press to make public the following:
The trip would be much easier and
much more satisfactory if the loca
, committees would observe the request
hat has been repeatedly made, namely
hat the place of meeting should be al
the depot, where l can speak from the
rear of the car or from a platform
erected within a few feet Of the train
, Sometimes committee insists on {
parade from the depot to the middle OF
the town, even when the stop is short
| Such a parade not only consumes the
time that might otherwise be used il
: speaking, but it adds to the fatigue D
the journey and then subjects me t
? the danger of taking cold. At shor
stops it is necessary to speak rapidly
7 and if | then have to ride a quarter o
5 a mile in the carriage l am chilled be
fore I can reach the car. | am dOinl
: all the work that l think it safe to do
= and [ hope that local committees viii
l recognize this and hereafter arrang
5 for speaking at the depot"
