have heard some persons say that
they are not going to vote the Re

My friends. I cannot but help ask the
question, Why2 1t Is said that some
of the laboring people in Harrison
county are going to vote for Mr.. Bry-
an Again I ask, Why? I cannot
understand why they should do that
Let US look at the situation for a
moment.
Bryan's Discarded Issues
Ry.e,e
silver at the ration of sixteen to one
were the only issue before the Amer
lean people in this campaign, what
would your verdict be2 You would
show no hesitancy whatever in re-
pudiating that issue Just as you re-
pudiated It In 1896 II the only issue
before the American people today
were the proposition of government
ownership of railroads, what would /
your verdict be? The American peo-
pie would not say that the govern
ment should, at an enormous cost
own and operate all the railroads in
the country. Why. the Democrats
are already complaining there are |
too many offices. What do they say
about the great number of offices that
would necessarily have to be created
II the government were to 20 into the /
ownership business?
Issues Sinsly Presented
suppose you Shout dlimit the pro-
ducts of this country to within fifty
per cent of their capacity. What
would your verdict be? Suppose the |
only question for your consideration |
In this present campaign would be
the subject OF the guarantee of bank |
deposits? OF all the faIlacies that |
have been inflicted upon the people, |
this one IS perhaps the worst II III

Investments in real estate? If IL /
should be proposed that the govern
ment enter into this business doubt /
not that your verdict would be that
you would not be in favor of 1t. And
the one is Just the same as the 9TH
tell you, my friends. that Bryan
stands for the same things today that
he stood for IN past years
A voice: He is right"
You may think he is right, but the
great Dody OF American people have
enough intelligence and enough com
non sense not to agree with him.
Laughter and applause.)
Fallacics Soon Detected
Now, this Is true with Mr.. Bryan |.
His theories and his 'Isms'' look pref
y good at the time he is promulga-
ing them, but when the people go
lome and think over them at their
lresides they reason it out and find
he fallacies in them and they do not
tote for Mr.. Bryan when election day
comes. have heard Mr.. Bryan. IL

Who have heard him think that per-
laps he may be right. But when I

But again, my friends, the American
