tcn, Readville, Mass. wants him there

notification committee, overlooked
when extending the invitation, he of
course was compelled to decline.
Through Henry c. Clayton and r. H.
Walker, Montgomery. Ala, expressed
its desire for his presence August 10.
Mr.. Bryan expressed a desire to again
go south. He said that he always had
been cordially received there and was
greatly indebted to the southern peo-
pie for their uniform support and
kindness but that the campaign was
too young at this time for him to
make any definite plans as to what
his engagements shall be on that date.
He hoped that after a conference with
the national committee he might be
able to go to Montgomery and pos
sibly some other points in the south
ern states in response TO numerous
invitations.

Inscription. 'B1ly's Big stick" paint
ed in large black letters. Mr.. Bryan
although expressing his thanks for the
gift, declared that IL he was elected
to the presidency the "big stick
would not be welded, rather relying
on his ability to lead people through
their love than to control them
through their fears.

ber of holdover visitors to the notlfl-
cation ceremony came out to Fairvlew.
Mr. Bryan found time to dispose of
