His audience at Rome was large and
attentive and the speech was punctuated
with freq tent bursts OF applause. Tx
pressing mis- pleasure at being IN Rome,
Mr.. Bryan said that the large attendance
could not be accounted for OF the ground
OF curiosity, because he had been IN this
city before and the people there had had
an opportunity to see and hear. He ac-
cuseo the Republicans OF avoidance Of the
real issues Oh the campaign, and asked
do they not insult the intelligence of
American citizens when they ask their
votes and yet decline to outline what they
are going TO do? Read the platform or
our party, compare II with the platform
OF the Republican party and you md the
difference is that the Democratic position
is stated with a ciearness that admits Of
no ambiguity, while the Republican party
states its position in glittering general
tiles, and spends more time in Dragging
them than in telling Of the imperial reign
that the Republican party intends to bring
upon this country
Il believe II was here the first American
flag was raised. want you to look at
that flag. L want you to see il you can
md on that flag anything that represents
a subject The white stands for the
purity OF our nations motives: the red
stands for the blood shed in the purchase
OF liberty, and the stars represent the
states, and every territory sees in the fu-
ture star of hope that Is some day TO
find its place in the constellation.
But where in that flag is anything a
subject or a vassal can look to and love?
do not want to change that flag.
Il would rather haul it down and let
the FilipinOs have their own flag than
change our flag to the flag of empire
and swear it with the blood of conquest

the four towns OF Oneida, Canastota, emit
tenanEO and Dewitt. At Oneida he said:
II 90 not want 10 harb0r an ambition
that rests for its qualification on what
other people do. L would that my honest
ambition shall rest for its g-atifica ton
on what l can do myself, and my highest
ambition is the same as yours should be,
namely Ito do what L can to make this
country so good that to be a private citi-
zen here will be greater honor than to be
a king in any other nation on earth
The CanastOta speech was made from
a carriage near the railroad station INA
was addressed to farmers. Mr. Bryan
ner pail" He said that even if there was
a fun dinner pail for the laborinS man it
would be impossible to- trace its existence
to the Republican party.
The labor organizations of the coun-
try have done more Tor labor in the last
few years, he said, than the Republican
party could Go in a century
