BRYAN GETS DUCKS
AT CORPUS CHRISTI
Commoner on Holiday Also
Finds Time to Make
a Speech,

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, Nov. 20.
w. ]. Bryan spent today on a trip
to the Tarpon club up the coast at
Rockport, and before the day is over,
he may land tarpon, one of the gam

Yesterday afternoon he got several
ducks on his trip to Padre Island with
number of Corpus Christi sports
men. He was apparently the most
care-free man in the party and laugh
ed and chuckled over the sport ne
had. The commoner got back to the
hotel in time to have some of his
ducks cooked for MS dinner.
Political Speech.
Last evening Mr.. Bryan was ban
quoted by some of the people of the
city and made a semi-political speech.
He said:

democratic speeches on you. There

friends l am disappointed in the de-
fea of our cause, and yet 1 feel re-
lieved of a great burden that Tai
will have to bear for four years.

vain" he said confidently. Our
teachings will help mould public opin-
ion until the majority of the people
will demand reform. My father qld
