The feature of the legislative session
Saturday was the address of Col. Will
lam Jennings Bryan before the joint
session of the two houses. Mr.. Bryan
was invited by concurrent resolution
to address the two houses of the legis-
lative assembly, and the largest audi
ence that has attended any session of
the legislature gathered to hear him.
He was in excellent voice and spirits
and made an address that was well re.
ceived by the legislative body.
He did not dwell upon partisan poll
tics, contenting himself with the OBJ
servation that good citizenship was
better than good politics. He rerold
his political experience, stating that
he has twice tried to be Moses and
once to be an Aaron for deliverer
who was slow of speech, but both
times had failed. He humorously said
the Republicans now had taken so
many planks out Of his platform that
he felt good-so good that he had not
an enemy in the world. and he extend
ed congratulations to the Republicans
that they had taken so many good
leayes out Of the Democratic book.
Bryan dwelt more particularly on the
necessity for union ON the part of good
citizens of both parties against the
encroachments of organized interests.
He congratulated both Republicans
and Democrats on the stand they had
taken in supporting President Roose-
velt's railroad legislation, and remark
ed that when the president had COM
pleted his battle with the railroads he
would be able to write book on the
strenuous life beside Which any other
book would be tame.
The legislature, which is Republican
nearly unanimously. punctEred Mr..
Bryan's address with applause, and he
had reason to be gra;ifed with the
character of his greeting. He was en-
tertained while in the city by Gov.
Sarles. and was escorted to the joint
session of the legislature by commit
tee comprising Senator Hanna. chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee. and Senator Cashel and Represent
ative Casey. two of the few Democrats
in the houses. After the session an
informal reception was held in the
governors Office. at which citizens of
