This, at 11:03 o'clock, was the signal
for an outbreak of cheers that rent the

minutes, winding up with the throwing
into the air of hats, cards and slips.
Bryan said Let the people rule,
continued Chairman Schwamm, AND
the people shall rule. We must put
honest men on guard.
I'm this county Democracy VIII tri-
umph when we have the best cltizen-

JUSTICE JOHN n. HARLAN PROpHESES GREAT RACE WAR
He Would Vote 100000 a Year For a Bigger Navy

Earth and He Wants the United States
to Be Prarared For It.

Washington, D. C.-That there
will be eventually u conflict between
the yellow race and the white race
that will shake the earth is the
opinion of Justice John Marshall
Harlan, of the United States Supreme
Court. In an address before the
Navy League OF the United States,
this eminent jurist, according to the
Washington Post, said:
"If / had the opportunity ] would
vote for al appropriation OF $780,
100000 a year for a period Of ten
years for a larger navy. The great
Importance of a navy is shown in the
Constitution, which restricts the ap-
propriations for the army, but sets
10 limit for those for the navy. There
is no such thing as friendship be-
tween nations as between men. Ma
lions make no sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to do
certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of another
nation. Do you think England cares
a cent for what we think of her
navy? Or Germany cares a cent?
How large a navy ought we to
have? That Is a question | cannot
answer any more than whether a
hospital ship ought to be command
ed by a naval officer or 4 surgeon.
I don't care how large a navy We
have, but | want to see a navy large
enough to take care of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans and our ports
on those oceans.
