This witticism from the chairman hit
the humOr of the convention and pro
lOnged laugh followed.
The chairman then announced that
the permanent organization committee
was not ready 10 make a report, and
desired a conference Of the committee.
Because of the wretched acoustics OF
the hall, Chairman Williams requested
the chairmen of the New York and Hi
nOis delegations to repeat all an

Mr. Williams created great laughter
when he said: so dreadful are the

APPROVING YELLs.

An outburst of approving yells
greeted his announcement that the
convention in Illinois was conducted
by men who were on a level with train
robbers.
Becoming intensely interested in his
address, Mr.. Bryan, finding that his
cuffs interfered with the free move
ment of his hands, pulled them off and
proceeded.
He declared that two years ago John
p Hopkins had pursued a course con-
trary to that followed in the illinois
convention and did not dare to follow
precedent this time because he would
have been repudiated if he had done
sc. The initial sentences of Mr.. Bry-
ans speech, which carried his hearers
into cheers, We're:

sentiment had subsided the speaker ut

Bryan's full speech was as -ollows:

 The Southern cotton plantations which are for the most part operated under the tenant system have under this system been less carefully culti- vated and become less productive. Cot ton land in the South for this reason fs worth less today than it was fifty years ago and It's value Is but the ex- ponent of its productive capacity under existing conditions of labor. It is plain that until these conditions change an increase fin acreage is unlikely to result in a substantial increase In pro- duction, and as no change in the con- ditfon seems probable within the next few years, am convinced the cotton trade must adjust itself to the prospect 'of accumuIativeIy acute stringency in the supply. at least during this decade.
