keep down a people that is entitled
to the right to govern itself.
Shall the People Rule.
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan spoke in part,
as follows:
81 desire to present to you some
arguments that to my mind justify the
claim of our party to the support of
the people. We have announced in
our platform that the over-shadowing
issue in this campaign is, Shall the
people rule?' In my notification
speech l laid emphasis upon this issue
and l am sure that my speech had
some effect for l heard two distinct
echoes. one from Cincinnati and one
from Utica, n. Y. Mr.. Taft at the
very first opportunity, announced that
that was not the issue because he said
the people ruled, and Mr.. Sherman in
his first speech said that it could not
be the issue because it would be an
insult to the people to say that they
did not rule. Well, my friends, l will
take you into my confidence and tell
you that l did<n expect either Mr..
Taft or Mr.. Sherman to plead guilty.
for as the republican party is in power,
they could not admit that the people
do not rule without signing their death
warrant. But | am gratified for the
aid they have given me, for by assert
| ing that the people do rule, they have
impliedly said that the people ought
to rule and if / then prove that the
people do not rule. they will be left
without excuse for election. Let me
give you some evidence of the truth OF
our indictment when we say that the
republican leaders have deliberately
and with malice aforethought prevent
ed the rule of the people. Let me
give you some evidence to show you
not only that the people do not rule,
but why the people do not rule.
Campaign Funs Publicity.
'The first obstacle in the way of the
rule of the people is the campaign

that maintain the republican party iii
power. In 1896 we charged the re-
publican party with mortgaging itself
to fayor-seeking corporations to secure
its sinews of war. There were many
who would not believe us. and | am
not going to judge too harshly those
who did not belieye us, for when the

BRYAN GREETED WITH CHEERS
AT THE EXPOSITION MEETING

fine. Mr.. Monnett made a very force,
full talk and continued speaking until
Mr. Bryan himself appeared on the
platform.
He said, in>part, that the democratic
platform pledging the establishment of
a guarantee fund for the prompt pay
meat of the deposits of any insolvent
national bank was a demand made
originally by the grangers and farm
ers of the west and southwest of the
respective state political conventions;
that this plank was a substantial copy
of the demand made by the farmers of
Oklahoma regardless of party during
their constitutional convention. 1t was
one of the % demands made of the
constitutional convention by members
of organized labor unions, and in re-
sponse to the joint demand of the
farmers and laborers of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory; ii Was Incorporated

as statute in this new state
His treatment of the subject was
novel and different somewhat from
the magazine articles and the cam
paign speakers on this subject. His
first proposition was that there would
be little need of additional safeguards
to be thrown around national banks, if
the present party in power had enforced
the federal statutes that have been
upon the statute books for 80 years
that the total disregard of tle pro
visions of these statutes had aroused

people who, have repeatedly found

AUGUSTA POISON FACTORIES.
You Will Be Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.

Did you ever feel stupid and dull
after eating a hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach weak
ness, the poison factory works over
time and there is giddiness, confusion
of thought, dependency. heartburn,
sleeplessness, nervous trouble and
other forms of indigestion.
1t is high time to look about for
quick relief when you have dizzy spells
after eating.
The general use of M-o-na stomach
tablets puts within the reach Of every
one reliable and positive cure for all
stomach weakness. Mi-o-na quickly
cures the worst case of indigestion,
and the pain and distress which is
often felt after meals will soon disap-
pear, such is the wonderful curative
power of this little tablet
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely different
principles from any of the other
remedies that nave DeeH uSeu III
stomach trouble. 1t is taken before
meals. and has specific strengthening
action upon the muscles of the
stomach, increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach
get to work and digest easily and
naturally the food which is eaten.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. have seen
so many cures made by Mi-o-na that
they give a guarantee with every So
cent box that the remedy costs nothing
unless it cures. Try Mi-o-na on this
guarantee of theirs, as they take all the
risk and the remedy will not cost
cent unless it cures.
