that tie deterioration Is still gbing
6ii, we deem it unwise to make an
estimate If tile crop at This time. We
are satisfied the crop will not be as
large as the current estimate:
rive therefore suggest and urge
upon all our members and. producers
throughout the South not 10 sell their
cotton at q figure less than the cost

cry train from over the State ar
rived loaded down, bringing not only
Nebraskan people, but many from

"Before Introducing Governor
Mickey who will extend the greetings
of the State, Mr.. Bryan, I, as mayor,
welcome YOU home; not as states
man, not as a Democrat, but as that
dearest to us all, our beloved neigh
.tor.''
Governor Mickey spoke Of the
awakening Of the public conscience to
civic Righteousness, and in this con-
nection spoke Of "bogus reformers.
The crowd seemingly misinterpreting
his thought, INDUCED in some hiss=
ing.
As Governor Mickey concluded and
Mr. Bryan arose, there. was renewd
cheering and handclapping. Mr.. Bry-
an began by saying that in his travels
he Lad learned that the Arabic lam
guage contained 600 words meaning
camel, and that SINCE returning to
the United States he had wished thai
the American language contained es
many words meaning 1'I thank YOU"
He declared the happiest part of the
long Journey was the homecoming,
and then went into general descrip.
ton of his travels. !.
Following Mr.. Bryah's speech. a
rec ntion took place in the capitol.
There was brilliant display of fire
works Oh the State house grounds.
