stopped It, 1t was an insult to the labor
ing man and the laboring man OF today is
with us against the Republican party.
They appeal to the farmer, but, my friends
the farmer finds that he has no interests
In Republican policies. They appealed TO
business men. and they found that busi-
ness men were suffering from the trusts
and that business men believed In the
Declaration of Independence.
Now they resort to intimidation and
give you additional orders. and tell you
that If you do not vote the Republican
ticket there will be no work. If Repub-
licsn tells laboring man that let the Ia
boring man reply that the country as a
whole is prosperous and thai if he loses
his job he can get another JOB.
II the country has been as prosperous as
Republicans say ii has been the laboring
man ought to have little laid UP by this
time SO that he could stand it for while
II he did not get job after election. 1t
shows that the Republican party has failed
in its appeal.
IF you are with US make it your fight
to make the majority SO large for the State
ticket. the Congressional ticket, and the
national ticket that no amount of money
can purchase this election
At the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Bryan was surrounded by an eager. sost-
ling throng who were anxious to shake his
hand.
At the Park Theatre.
When Mr.. Bryan left the Academy he
was Immediately taken into the carriage
that had brought him over from New
York. The other three seats were occu-
pied by Police Commissioner York, Bridge
Commissioner Shea, and James Shively.
Mounted police led the way and Chief
Devery followed in light carriage.
The first stop was made at the Park
Theatre. The meeting was arranged by
the Irish American Association. Mr.. Bryan
said he was not hater of any nation.
81 am not anti-Engiish. he said. "or
anti-Dutch, or anti-anything. l am SIM
ply American
The audience cseered. Mr.. Bryan then
asserted that imperialism with a capital
''I' had been, was, and would ever be,
the dominant issue of this campaign. The
reality Of it was. he said, that while DEM
ocrats might differ on all other kinds Of
issues, they were all as one on imperial
ism.
I'VE want this nation to do for the Fill
ipinos what France once cid for lis. We
should liberate them and then stand by
them as brothers, ensuring to them an in
dependent government of their own"
The fourth hall visited was Liederkranz
Hall, which was reached after a long ride
through streets that we're sometimes
pitch dark and sometimes crowded with
shouting hosts and lighted by red fire.
THE programme mapped out for today
is very long," remarked Mr.. Bryan when
the applause subsidized in LiederkranZ Hall.
when / get through tonight / shall have
made thirty speeches today, which breaks
my record"
The statement was made in voice that
still had much strength and life and it
impressed the audience accordingly.
The campaign is almost through Mr..
Bryan continued and the Republicans
have failed to establish the fight On the
basis desired by them. They have insulted
the laboring man by their talk about the
full dinner pail. / think that our laborers
are not mere hogs who squeal when they
are hungry and go TO bed when they are
satisfied. They have insulted the soldier
by trying to persuade him into the belief
that the victory of the Democratic party
would put his pension in danger. They
have forgotten that the soldier is also a
citizen
The Republicans have insulted the Ger
mans by insinuafing that they are only
concerned about their money, while the
fact is that the first thought of the Ger
man-American voter concerns the threat
ened liberty of this nation. AS the cam
paign is coming to close it becomes
evident that the Republicans have failed
in all their arguments. and that the
democrats are the only ones who have
come before the people on an honest plat
form, trying nothing so ridiculous as q
separation Of good trusts from bad ones.
Let me tell you that If your votes are
cast for me and am elected every power
Of the President shall be used to enforce
