large meeting here, which was attend
ed by many students of De PAW uni

most responsive he has met on the In

nation needed Indiana. He again OPP

Gratis in 1896, he said:
Il have not time to get down on the
ground and look for the tracks of those
who left us then. We can get even
with those who did not do as we
thought they should by doing now
what we should. In 1896 the campaign
aroused great feeling, and a great
many people doubted whether many of
the citizens of this country were patri-
otto. But after election there was a
call for volunteers for the war with
Spain, and the president did not call
only for those who voted for him. The
call was to the American people,"
Speaking of what he called the Re-
publican argument that the silver and
gold Democrats could help Bryan by
voting against Judge Parker, Mr.. Bry-
an said:
IF you want to see how the Repub-
leans want to help me just see how
they helped me in the last two cam
paigns. They bought every vote that
could be bought, they coerced every
vote that could be coerced and they
misrepresented every argument that

Other speeches were made at Brazil,
