Mr.. Bryan made this address in the
Auditorium TO an audience that filled
all available space in the building.

in Topeka and one in Kansas City, Mo.
Added to this, when the democratic
nominee was not talking publicly, he
was privately, for political leaders-and

4 The fact that the republican state
convention had passed a resolution en-
drsing the guaranty of deposits since

regular speech.
The candidate and his party arrived
in'Topeka at 1 o'clock and were taken
in hand by a committee composed of
leading democrats of the city and state
ard conducted to the hotel in automo-
biles. A great crowd greeted Mr.. Bry-

the Knights of Pythias, and spoke
upon the subject, Fraternity"
