is well to cmphasiz the fact that the

hands with him. Mr.. Taft, however,
had an engagement to speak at Fow-
Ter Methodist church in the evening
and he sent Col. Ransdell, who has
charge of the Taft train, to explain
the situation to Mr.. Bryan and con-
vey his regrets. This Ransdell did.
Mr.. Bryan expressed his regret at
missing an opportunity to greet Mr.
Taft and after inqulring about the
condition of Mr.. Taft's voice, said he
hoped that he would speedily recover,
Mr. Bryan's arrival in the city was
signalized by vociferous cheers from
a great crowd at the station.

at the station to get to him and shake
his hand, man suffered broken

dist church was on foreign missions.
