Americas Foremost Citizen.
Not only is Mr. Bryan a man of
broad and deep sympathy, but he is
truly Il representative man Of -he
people and institutions Of his own
land. No one can point to him and
say:
"A patriot OF the world alone,
A friend Of any country bat his own.
In whatsoever country Mr. Bryan
visited all there recognized him as an
ideal American. He is thoroughly
informed upon every question affect
ing the veal or woe of this great ma

part Of her domain. No subject com
mon to her prosperity could take him

Mr.. Bryan is a great orator. The
world places, the wreath upon his

by which he holds his audience spen-

geological survey maps Of the state of

have been taken in Brooklyn and Roch-

prepared and published by the geolog-

publishes no maps and employs no

engraves and prints represent areas OF
one sixteenth. one-fourth and one

In order to protect stationers and bus
