BRYAN ENTHUSES NEW YORK
College men, with college cheers. greeted
William j. Bryan at the Hoffman House,
New York. last night after he had spent
the day in a remarkable series of dashes
through Manhattan Brooklyn and Jersey
City. The college men were from nearly a
score of educational centers. and Mr..
Bryan, after hearing. with smiles. their
particular "yells" and shouts, addressed
them with serious mien.
The day was one of the most earnest in
the history of democratic campaigning.
Once in a while a man might be heard to
say that it was nothing wonderful. but
as a rule it was a man who expected the
democratic nominee to Guido his past per-
fOrmanceS.
1t was plain to be seen that Mr.. Bryan
was saving himself for just such an occa-
sion. and although it meant that he had
talked to approximately two hundred
thousand persons it was notable that the
smile the photographers depict was still
there.
