| this campaign
1.-THE action of President Roosevelt
III attacking Mr.. Gompers who has had
the confidence Of laboring men for
many years IS to my mind an evidence
that the Republican managers have
lost all hope Of holding or securing
the labor vote. and that they are now
trying to secure the support of corpor-
ate interest by denouncing the leaders
of the labor organizations
The crowd demanded that Mr. Bryan
talk some more. I'VE know you arc
tired, but Just give us IA little more OF
that kind
NO., said Mr. Bryan, 81 am not
tired. ] ain telling better now than at
any time during the campaign. / will
keep it up until the night Of the cleo
ton He provoked wild applause
when lie said that he thought the rea-
son his voice held out better than the
voice of the Republican speakers is
that J. don't have to put through my
throat any ragged arguments that tear
my throat and I can sleep well because
| am not disturbed at night worrying
about what / said yesterday or what I
say tomorrow. l have wasted no time
hunting up amendments to my plat
form or apologizing for my convictions.
for my platform covers all that I want
iii il and there is nothing in 1t that L
want TO take out. My platform differs
from Mr. Tafts in this: That can
use all Of mine everywhere and he has
to make selections from his according
to the place at which he speaks
