have changed front. The opposition
to Mr.. Bryan is disappearing like
magic, am continually congratulated
on our splendid meeting here and the

nothing can stop Bryan's receiving the
nomination by acclsmation and expect
to have the next State convention in.

unit for Mr., Bryan In the National
convention. I am not candidate tc
succeed you, but am willing worker
and would feel battered should the
next meeting OF the Association OF
Democratic clubs choose me. / shall
not seek II for I feel that our county
is In disgrace.
Mr.. Bryan, while AT my home, men
