DENVER, July 81. J. Dunn OF Omaha,
in nominating for the office of president
w. J. Bryan, said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Con-
vention:
Crises arise in the life of nations which
endanger their institutions and, az times,
tmpertl the advance OF civilization. Every
people that has left its impress upon his
tory has faced such crises, In most in
stances, where grave dangers have threat
ened the safety OF the state, some great
character some master mind has been
found, produced as II were by the condi-
tons themselves, with capacity TO direct
Alright the energies Of the people. This was
true OF the ancient world; II has been true
Of the modern world ii is true Of this re-
public. We have such a crisis TO meet to-
day, TIT favOr-seeking corporations have
gradual strengthened their hold upon this
government until they now menace popular
Institutions. The question Is whether
this government shall be restored to the
control OF the people and be administered In
the interest Of all, or whether II shall re-
main an instrument in the hands OF the few
for leyying tribute upon all the rest.
IN his special message TO congress last
winter, President Roosevelt declared, sub
stantially, that certain wealthy men who
have become enormously rich by expressing
the wage Garner. defrauding the public and
practcing all forms OF tniquity, have
banded together. and by the unlimited use
Of money, endeavor TO secure freedom from
restraint and to overthrow and discTedit all
who honestly administer the law. That
the methods by which these men have
ACQUIRED their great fortunes can only be
justified by a system Of morality, that
would permit every form OF criminallty,
every form Of violence, corruption and
fraud.
For many years, and especially during
The last twelve years. these very men nave
been IN control Of the republican party; they
have financed every campaign OF that party
for a quarter OF a century These ex-
ploiters Of the people, whom the president
has so ~scathingly denounced. have given
their enthusiastic support TO the republican

Cash turned. The two or three men who had now
come up behind him to register glared back at him
in icy contempt noting the unshaven face the soed
collar and shirt front. For moment he lost his
poise, and wild idea came to him of attempting to
explain to these men. Even as the thought came,
however he realized the futity of it and walked out
of the place followed, too closely for comfort by
broad-shouldered porter BY the time he had gained
the street he Tuning, but blue-and-white sign
block away brought him back, with a comfortable
jerk to practical affairs. The sign betokened the
location of a telegraph Office, and a happy haven
of refuge he hurried to it.

Still without looking at it she showed the yellow
slip toward him.

she turned to the next customer.

looked as il the great railroad king would have to
hunt job at unsked labor.
AS he sat dejectedly bumped over his elbows upon
his knees and his hands clasped idly together, he
noticed that brown skirt--with a dragged bit OF
braid on the bottom-that twice had slowly passed
him. stopped directly in front of him. Natu-
rally he glanced up and found a very good-lookng
girl gazing ixedly down at him. The moment she
met his eyes her face lighted with smile of delight,
and she came toward him.
81 just knew it was Mr. Cash." she began viva
ciously. "Myl this is a long way from Broadway
isn't it?"
No sound had ever rung more agreeably in his
ears than his own name pronounced at this moment.
For the last couple of hours that magic word had
completely lost its power. and he had begun to re-
alize how few people knew him after all. 1t
with sense of positive gratitude that he answered
this girl, whom he could not place, but whose face
seemed pleasantly familiar.

She was girl who had struggled up from the most
squalid section of the East Side. and noted on
Broadway, not only for her own uncompromising

she had saved from making fools of themselves"
More especially however she was known for the pic
turesque slang which had chung to her the only

she used It, In the present juncure he surprised
to find her suddenly hesitate and show bit of en-
barrassment.

Trouble and Indigestion Find a

Take your sour stomach-or maybe
you call it Indigestion dyspepsia, gas

matter-take your stomach trouble
right with you to your pharmacist and
ask him to open a 5O-cent case OF
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain triangule and see if within
five minutes there is left any trace OF
your former misery
The correct name for your trouble
is food fermentation-food souring:
the digestive organs become weak,
there is lack of grastic juice; your
food is only half digested, and you
become affected with loss of appetite,
pressure and fullness after eating,
vomiting, nausea, heartburn, gripping
in bowels, tenderness in the oit of
stomach, bad taste in mouth, oonsti-
patton. pain in limbs, sleeplessness,
belching of gas, biliousness, sick head
ache, nervousness, dizziness and many
other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle, and moth
ing tempts you, or you 5e.ch gas or If
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead rn your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentatlpn Of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself, after your next
meal, that your stomach is as good as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting fog
you. 1t is merely a matter of how
soon you take some Diapepsin.
