and appTeciative house at the Hyperion later.
where Ny. Bryan read n lecture on The Value
Of an Ideal"
The dinner was hardly enthusiastic as had
been expected, about a third of the tables being
empty. Nr. Bryan was escorted to the hall by
an Italian brass band and by a hundred and
fifty Democrats who had bought dollar tickets.
Mr.. Bryans address was received with only
small enthusiasm. He wanted ito take this
first opportunity Of the campaign" he said. TO
arouse the conscience of the people against the
overpowerIng greed Of the money interest" He
hoped that that would be the battle cry OF his
party.
