to government ownership Of the rail

more explicit statement as to his po-

he read lengthy statment elaborat-
ing his position, but declared that
making Of platforms rests with the
voters of the whole party and ! never
have and never will attempt to force
my opinions or those of any few men
on the neople." While thus indicat-
ing that doctrine of government own
ership is in the hands Of the voters.

"My opinion is that the Chickasaw

exchange for assurances that regula-
tion instead Of government ownership
would answer the needs of the people,
but he expressed grave doubts as to
wheater regulation would ever suffice.

ments to convince his hearers that gov

state ownership of state lines mot
only preserve rights of states, but will
permit people of each to ADOPT gov
ernment ownership when thev are
ready for it.

the finish of the statement, Bryan,
with all the emphisis he could muster,
recalled to his hearers that "when-

people | have spoken out without ask
ing anybody permission or querying
what the effect might be on me-"
