resentatlve democrats from all over
Northern Ohio.

after which no was escorted TO Memorial
hall. where he was rendered reception
by the Modern woodmen oc America.
From Memorial hall he weB escorted TO
Elks hail, where elaborate arrangements
had been made TO receive this distip
guished member OF that fraternity. IL Is
estimated that fully $4,000 people heard
Mr.. Bryan at tho various points where he
spoke in THAI city.
While here he submitted to an inter,
view and took occasion to express him
solf very decidedly regarding the coming
! National election, which ne declares will
surely result in an overwhelming VIC
tory for the democrats.
THE democratic party is sure to win"
Mr.. Bryan said. This people arc with Us
this year end they are IN sympathy with
the p9ncipleu which shall be embodied
in the Kansas City platform, and which

why do you think soc
"why 40 think sol Because every
principle OF the democratic party is post
tive principle. more positive than waa the
declaration OF the republican party IN
1896 wrd -whtir- my party hns grown all
tho whilo In Its frmer adherence 10 prIn-
epie and positive declaration. the repab.
lican party Is 'trskklng Ia iust the ep-
posite direction; 1t 10 less positive and
its adherence to It's own declaration Of
faith is now quite disregarded"
what is your view of the Philippine
war;"
"1t Is exactly what II has bean ever
| since the Irillpinos wore denied the right
| az free government. l believe that the
republicans are wrong. that they have
taken tho God-given right of liberty and
self-government away from people who
! have been fighting for it for yearn and are
so determined that they are willing to
sacihoe themselves to the last man in or
der secure it. This will be the position
of the democratic party upon this guess
ton
Imperialism means transgression on
some one. Neither our government nor
that Of any other country can sweep away
the sovereignty OF a conquered people and
substitute its own sovereignty for It with~
out violating the laws OF God and man.
~ hold exactly the same views on the
money question I have Always held.
do not think the great body OF democrats
have changed any more than have and
there is no occasion for the desertion oil
any truth that makes up the democratic
code of laws.
II think that Ohio is much more iikefy
10 go democratic this yesr than Nebraska
is ever likely TO go republican again.
II am sure that the signs Of the times
are very much more favorable TO demo
cratic success and both the press and
people are considering democratic doctrine
more kindly this year than they did In
1896"
