its capacity the cheering went up in
a deafening roar. Mr. Bryan ac-
kn0wledged Judge Parkers pledge of
his own SunpQrt and the support of
the "united democracy OF the empire
state" in words as gracious as the
pledge had been extended.

come to our guest of honor, an we
pledge him our earnest support until
victory comes"
ut is worth coming a long way"
said Mr.. Bryan, ito participate in the
closing hours of great convention in
this countrys greatest state.
81 appreciate Judge Parker's cor
dial words in presenting me to you.
Il appreciate the pledge he has
given and especially do | appreciate
his own earnest part in the fulfllment
of that pledge.
IT am grateful that the great con-
ventIon which closed today placed at
the head of its ticket one so warthy
to carry the party's standard in this
state. Mr.. Chanler represents a class
that believe will be a growing class
in this country He is a man of means
whose money has not weaned him
from sympathy with the comon peO-
pie. / believe we are entering upon
new era In American politics and In
the years to come ! believe that more
men than In the past of Chanler's type
will consecrate their lives and means
to the good nj their fellow men.
'T appreciate the spirit of harmony
that prevailed In this convention. All
metals. my friends. fuse at some heat
