Judge A. w Rucker, who conveyed to
Mr.. Bryan the information of his en-
d0fselneht by the United States None
tary League, also cuttailed his speech
owing to the heat. He made number
of points which met with the approval
Of the auditors.
When Mr.. Rucker took his seat, Mr..
Simpson introduced Mr. Bryan, who was
received with burst CT applause.
Mr.. Bryan read the greater part of his
address from manuscript and the deliv
cry consumed about forty minutes.
When he ceased speaking those present
were invited to shake hands with him
and many availed themselves of this op
portunity to formally greet him.
Before beginning his address proper
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to reply to Mr..
Troutman's welcoming remarks This he
did eXtemporaneously and as follows:
Il desire in the beginning to thank
the non partisan welcome which has been
delivered through Mr. Troutman. / ap-
preciate that liberty of thought that
generosity too infrequent in politics that
enables political opponents to thus tender
the freedom of the city to one with whom
they do not agree on political questions
am grateful for the kind words which
were spoken and appreciate the admira-
tion mentioned, even though that admira-
tion does not count as much on election
day as a simple ballot. (Applause).
hope that as the years go by we shall
be able to lift politics to a higher and
brighter plane SO that we can fight out
these great questions as citizens, equally
earnest and equally honest, each re-
specting the others rights. l thank
the State administration and the city
administration for their courteous and
cordial welcome"
He then began the reading OF the adj
dress as originally prepared, only stop
ping to interject a few words in reply
to the notification of Judge Rucker. The
| address, including the reply to the League
was as follows:
