cit has never been demonstrated
that Mr.. Taft is in favor of these
measures. The nearest thing to it
is by the statement that he is in
c!ined to them. Bullet me tell you
my brethren, that many a man has
gone to destruction who was inclin-
ed to do right, but who was not
strong enough to resist temptation.
A man must have conviction and
enthusiasm before he has the powers
of carrying out those things describ-
ed as reforms
Mr.. Bryan was cheered repeated
ly during this meeting. The crowd
extended as far north and south as
it could and still be within hearing
distance and extended clear across
the street east.
After a short rest Mr.. Bryan was
taken to Garfield park, where he
addressed the Knights of Pythias.
The crowd at the park was small
because of the fact that the hour of
the speech was changed without the
knowledge of those attending the
picnic. 1t was supposed that Mr..
Bryan would talk at 5 O'Clock and
he did not arrive until 6:3o O'Clock
and after waiting for an hour many
of the men left the park. There
were about 500 people there when
Bryan reached the park.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by
Miss Ona May Miller. He talked
for half an hour on the duties of
citizenship and told how fraternalism
had improved citizenship. He didn't
mention politics during his talk. He
paid many compliments to the
Knights of Pythias. 1t should be
remembered that he has been men,
Der of the order for twenty years
and has been an active worker 1t
was the first organization he joined.
He was given hearty reception by
the picnicers and appeared to en-
JOY the meeting immensely.
From the park Mr.. Bryan went
back to the hotel and from there to
the auditorium where the real meet
ing began at 8 O'Clock. The build
ing was crowded. The people of
Topeka, men, women and children,
began moving toward the auditor
ium at 7 O'Clock and by the time the
meeting began the hall was filled.
Mr.. Bryan and his party left To-
peka at midnight for Lincoln, Neb.
