KANSAS CITY. July a.-Congressman William
Sulzer. who was proprietor OF the most noisy
Vice Presidential boom here. was slated
to speak before the Monetary League
this evening Mr. Suzer. according 10
impartial observers who were near the entrance
to the Auditorium. got word to the effect that
there was not a vast throng to listen to him,
and b'ing very busy nursing his boom, he didn't
show up 10 make speech. so Gen. A. Warner
OF Marietta, Ohio, an old-tme bimetallist,
volunteered to give his views on the question,
and ex-Gov. ST John Of Kansas introduced
him TO the audience. Gen Warner is a scien-
tifc bime al>t He Is not a 10 TO / man,
but believes that II silver Is made
standard money metal the ratio at which It is
to he carried will regulate itself along scientific
lines Gen Warner tod this to the Monetary.
League, whose members don't believe that
there is any ratio exc xcept that of IS to /. and
they didn't like 1t.
Il don't care anything about 10 to l." he said.
THE point now Is to get silver restored 10 its
place 80 that II will have the same rights gold
Catch your hare first. then cook il; put silver
where II belongs and YOU regulate the subject
/ sometimes think that we have laid altogether
too much stress on the ratio Of 10 TO /. | am in
favor of il, but there are and always will be
conditions which will change the ratio. Get
your silver frst: don't make any more mistakes.
When We get our silver We will fix the ratio
The leaguers didn't enjoy this talk. They
wanted 10 to 1. They interrupted Gen. Warner
with yells for 10 to /. They yelled at Gen.
Warner He waited uutil they got little quiet
Then he said
II tell you the question Of 10 to 10 going to
cut little figure in this campaigp. The issues
will be anti-imperialism and trusts and what
We should do for humanity, and the question OF
ratio will sink into infinite sinai insignificance I"
A big man In the rear OF the auditorium
jumped up and shouted that II Gen. Warner :
ideas prevailedlthe bimetallists might as we'll
desert the country to President Mckinley and
the gold bugs There was so much noise and so
many protests against Gen. Warmers attitude
that he cut his remarks short and stepped down
of the platform.
