At Plymouth Mr. Bryan said in part:
I'VE have every reason for the support
hof the ticket that we had in 1896, and new
sons which have arisen since that
The Republican party has shown
not willing to destroy the trusts.
Republican party is attempting to
in Wease the standing army from $4,000
to 100000. Is there any reason why the
public at large should favor such an in
crease? The Republican party is trying
to fasten upon the country militarism and
Imperialism. The Republican party wants
. to engraft upon our country colonial
policy. In 1896 they said we could not have
double standard of money, now they say
can have a double standard of Gov
Ament. There IS no reason why you
sould vote the Republican ticket if you
believe in the principles of elfgovern
ment and are willing that the Filipinos
shall govern themselves as well as desir-
Gus that we shall govern ourselves"
