erything was in readiness for begin
ming service at the banquet at I2l JebeI
Temple, rendered to William j. Bryan
BY the Bryan Democratic club OF colo
RADIO tonight the fifty or more walters
demanded OF the caterer in charge
that he agree to certain changes IN
~, conduct Of several establishments
operated in this eitv before ln,A s.. ..
proceed with the service tonight This
was refused and the men left the
building. Members of the club giving
the banquet then proceeded to serve
as best they could. The sight of promi-
nent leaders of the party carrying
dishes and trays caused much mirJh-
provoking comment in which BRYAN
engaged with as much enjoyment as
the rest. It was not until after 70
O'Clock that the speech-maling began,
former Congressman John +. Shat

missionary work is necessary, but for
the pleasure Of coming we carried
this state by a large majority in 1896
and in 1900. We ought To- haya-a
larger majority this year than i'm eth
er of those years. Everyone who ynt-
ed with us in 1896 ought. 10 vote with
us now, and those who were against |
US in 1896 have had time to see the |
yindication that has come to demo /
cratic principles The cumulative /
theory Of money has been proven to /
he correct. for we have so per cent
per capita more money in circulation
now chan we had in 1896, and with |
that increase we have had HIGHER [
prices and better times The silver /
question Is no longer an issue. bul it's /
elimination Is due To The fact that we
have secured from another source shp
increase in currency which was ex-
Dected from the restoration Of bi-uct- /
aHsm But the money question is uofI
the only question upon which our no
sitiOn has been proven correct by the
course of events. Our protest against
the trusts has been shown to be well
founded. and the whole country now
understands that a private monopolvI
is indefensiblc and uncndurable on 4
the tariff question also the democrats
position is being strengthened by the 4
demands of republicans Secretary II
Taft started out to make his cam 4
paign ON a platform which declared 4
Cor tariff revision--the revision to be Il
POSTPONED until after the election. As
t aveled over the country he found II
the tariff reform sentiment so strong II
that he finally reached the conclusion II
in the platform of his state cOnvpn- II
tfon. that tariff reform is so urgent II
that a special session Of congress
should be held Immediately after the 1
