nois democrats at Springfield few
days ago Mr.. Bryan said:
eff I am nominated want the nomi-
nation to come from the voters rather
than from the convention. The con-
vention is but the servant of the vo-
ters-the voters are the masters. They
have right to determine both the
platform and the candidates. II you
want me nominated, instruct for me.
Instructions are democratic. No one
has any right to represent others un-
less they want him to represent them.
81 believe in instruction. [ do not
care upon whom your choice falls.
Whoever be is he should have dele
gates instructed by the people who
elected them. They should represent
the wishes of the people.
eff am to be your candidate l
want your delegates instructed for me.
If I am your candidate again it will
be in answer to call from the party,
and upon that condition only am I q
candidate. If the voters of the party
want me for their candidate they will
instruct their delegates to that effect.
""And there is more needed than in
structions. The delegates should be
men who are willing to be instructed.
"'They should be men willing tocarry
out the instructions which the people
give them.
Il do not want delegates instructed
for me, but complaining of their in
struetions. l do not want delegates
who will spend their time at the con-
vention explaining that they would
like to be free and that they consider
it impossible to elect the man whom
they are instructed to nominate.
ST am perfectly willing TO fight all
the enemies that can get in front OF
me, but my enemies shall not get be-
hind me again. I say this of myself,
but it holds good for any candidate
whom you may wish to nominate. Il
you prefer another candidate, then
those who prefer me should not ask to
be a part Of the convention which
dominates him. The delegates should
act as the representative of the PEG.
pie, and they should be men who are
willing to do what they have been in.
structed to do. If you want me to be
your candidate let no man who does
not want to see me nominated repre-

man have a seat there who does moi
want to see me elected if nominated
Let the candidate who has the suppor
of the people have the heart as well as
the voice Of the delegates.
"And again, if am nominated, il
