In speeches which he used tc
make Mr.. Bryan said he quoted
prominent Democrats as his author

so busy defending his authority
that he took to quoting the script.
ures, and now if the Republicans
question his authority he let's them
fight it out. Service is the meas,
ure of greatness. and we look back
ward to the days when we did
something for somebody else with
more pleasure, than we do to the
days when they did something for
us IF 1 rely on what Republi-
cans are doing for me 1 would not
have much pleasure, but if 1 try
to do good for them they eau not
keep me from having a good time.
If you think of what you have done
for others the longer you think the
more you see. If you think of what
they have done for you the longer
you think the less you see."
He spoke of the great amount of
discussion that has taken place
about anarcy since the assassina-
ton of our beloved Chief Execu-
tive, and many means have been
advocated for the suppression of it.
Suppression is not the only way to
stop it, you must educate the peo-
Pile, and you must make the govern
ment so good that the people would
be willing to die for it. We must
not only look to the dread anarch.
Ist but we must look to the man
who plumbers the government for
private gain. he then oited differ
ent places where corruption exists

that he did not believe that man
who was trying to buy such place
with his own money was as bad as
the man who buys his way on the

Democrats try to justify their
acts by saying that they are fight
ing the Devil with fire. There is
no use trying to fight the Devil

must appeal to the conscience of
the people. Other things more
important than money are man.
hood, womanhood and citizenship.
We are sometimes inclined to
overestimate the heads part and
underestimate the hearts part in
the shaping of destiny. Don't
think that I am not an enthusiast
on education. If I thought my
son would be compelled to dig
bitches all his life, I would want
him to have the best education
that he could have. as 1 believe
that he would dig better ditohes." I"
"As 1 visit the resting places of
the dead, 1 notice that the monu.
ments generally vary in beauty
according to the amount of the es-
tate that has been left behind. I
fear the pIutocracy of wealth." In
speaking of the greatness of the
nation, he said: "We have one
of the best forms of government,
but 1 do not say that it is perfect.
When the Democrats are in power
L can prove by all Republicans
that the administration is not good,
and when the Republicans are in
power it needs no proof to show
that it is not good, as it is self

In the constitution it says all
men are created equal, and from
