for democrats from three states, come
to hear William J. Bryan speak on the
subject of the guaranty of deposit
law for banks. The speech, as pre-
viously announced, was to form one
of the ekeynotes" of the democratic
national campaign.
On his arrival from the east Mr..
Bryan was met at the train by a local
reception committee and the members
of the democratic state committee of
Kansas. Through streets which were
decorated for the occasion the presi-
dental candidate was escorted to the
Hotel Thropp, where luncheon was
served.
The state authorities, having refus-
ed permission for the speech-making
to take place on the grounds of the
capitol, it was decided to hold the
demonstration at the City Park,
where an immense crowd congregated
an hour or more before the time
scheduled for the appearance of Mr..
Bryan. Several bands furnished music
for the occasion and there were intro
ductory speeches from prominent rep
resentatives of the democratic party
in Kansas. Mr.. Bryan rode in an
open carriage from the hotel to the
park and was greeted all along the
route with cheers from the crowds
