courthouse and appointed circuit judge as
the chairman of the committee resolu-
tons and passed resolutions asking the
attorney general not TO enforce a law OF the
State of Nebraska"
Amid the applause that followed and
cries of THAT will hold him for a while,
the man who had been interrupting Mr..
Bryan shouted, How many did you file.
Mr.. Bryan" But further interruptions
were howled down by the impatient audi
ence and the pointed demands of police
officers made his remaining in the audience
contingent on his silence.
Mr.. Bryan then continued: 81 want 10 tell
you that If l am elected l will appoint an
attorney general who will not remain idle
until some Republican comes and files
bill. Not only has the Republican party
amended the commandment, Thou shalt
not steal on the imperialistic question, but
it has done on the trust question The
gentleman told you what the law was. only
he forgot something. He forgot to say that
aside from the penalty there Is a peniten-
tiary punishment. and If man steals a
horse he is put in the penitentiary. If he
organizes trust they give him banquet,
as they did Charles r. Flint, of the rubber
trust"
Mr.. Bryan concluded his Old Vienna adj
dress with a repetition of his previous ar
guments on the questions of Imperialism
and miitarism.
WHAT ABOUT THE ICE TRUST?'
While Mr.. Bryan was speaking in a huge
tent at the corner of Spaulding and Madi-
son streets man asked: what about the
ice trust?' Mr.. Bryan said: THAT man
Goes not know when he suggests the ice
trust, that he is denying what Mr.. Hanna
says, for Mr. Hanna says there are no
trusts. If Mr.. Hanna is elected Presi-
Gent, how can that man expect to get a
postoffice? While j am on the subject of
ice trusts, let me remind you that that is
the only trust that our Republican friends
seem to know anything about. The Re-
publicans used to put in their platform
that governments derived their just powers
from the consent of the governed. Now
they deny that doctrine. They used to put
in their platform the doctrine-the high
wayman's theory-that might makes right,
and they want to apply it to the control
OF weaker nations. They applied that doc
trine to the Philippine islands / deny that
IL big man can thrash little man that
he can then own him. / deny that when
big nation thrashes a little nation 1t has
the right to own 1t. We now have Co.
soldiers, seven thousand miles away from
home, for the purpose of enforcing annexa-
ton upon an unwilling people That is a
doctrine which we deny.
At Pulaski Hall Mr.. Bryan said in part:
''Your votes next Tuesday will determine
what you want. IL you are tired of self
government. If you are tired of the doc
trine that all men are created equal: IL
you are tired of the songs that you have
sung ever since you have been able to sing,
then vote the Republican ticket and you
will have no songs and no principles.
have done the best i could in this cam
paign. 1 have worked TO the limit of my
strength. I have tried to present these
things to the American people. / have not
tried to tell a man how he should vote.
1 have simply tried to tell him what his
vote meant, that when he cast it he
would make it mean what he wanted It,
Colonel Bryan's remaining speeches of
the evening were delivered to large crowds
at the Second Regiment Armory and in a
pavilion at the stockyards, besides open-air
meetings at Twenty-ninth and Halstead
streets, Twenty-second street and Oakley
avenue, and Thirty-first and State streets.
These places are all widely separated and
it required unusual exertions to enable the
candidate to reach them on schedule time.
Ii was after midnight when Mr.. Bryan
finished his days labor, his last speech
being delivered TO a gathering of colored
voters on Thirty-first street.
