My friends. cannot but help ask the
question, Why? 1t is said that some
of the laboring people in Harrison
county are going to vote for Mr. Bry-
an. Again ask, Why? / cannot
understand why they should do that.
Let us look at the situation for a
moment.
Bryan's Discarded Issues
II the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ration OF sixteen to one
were the only issue before the Amer
lean people in this campaign, what
would your verdict be? You would
show no hesitancy whatever in re-
pudiating that issue Just as you re-
pudiated 1t in 1896. If the only issue
before the American people today
We're the proposition OF government
Ownership of railroads, what would
your verdict be? The American peo-
pie would not say that the govern
ment should, at an enormous cost
own and operate all the railroads in
the country. Why, the Democrats
are already complaining there are
too many offices. What do they say
about the great number of offices that
would necessarily have to be created
II the government were to go into the
ownership business?
Issues Slngly Presented.
suppose you shout dlimit the pro-
ducts of this country to within fifty
per cent of their capacity. What
would your verdict be? Suppose the
only question for your consideration
In this present campaign would be
the subject of the guarantee of bank
deposits? OF all the fa,lacies that
have been inflicted upon the people,
this one is perhaps the worst. If /
had million dollars. or IL had a
thousand dollars in money in bank /
would be glad to have 1t additionally
secured. But while have not much
money In the banks do have some
money invested in real estate. Many
of you here have money in the banks.
but l also see many before who also
have good deal of money
invested in real estate. Sup
pose the government shouldssH1T in
to the business of guaranteeing our
investments in real estate? If It
should be proposed that the govern
ment enter into this business 1 doubt
not that your verdict would be that
you would not be in favor of it. And
the one is just the same as the 9TH
er.
tell you, my friends, that Bryan
stands for the same things today that
he stood for in past years.
voice: He is right
You may think he is right. but the
great body of American people have
enough intelligence and enough COM
mon sense not to agree with him.
daughter and applause.)
Fallacics Soon Detected.
Now. this is true with Mr.. Bryan.
His theories and his "isms" look pref
ty good at the time he is promulga-
ting them, but when the people go
home and think over them at their
fresides they reason it out and find
the fallacies in them and they do not
vote for Mr.. Bryan when election day
comes. I have heard Mr.. Bryan. I
think sometimes, just as many people
who have heard him think that per-
haps he may be right. But when /
go home and reason them out. too,
soon find the fallacy of his theories.
He was SO bitterly opposed to what
he was pleased to call imperialism,
that he said he really believed Nc
Kinley-the sainted McKinley-would
crown himself king OF this country
If he carried that policy into effect
But again, my friends. the American
people did not agree with Mr.. Bry-
an.
If the sole issue before the Ameri-
can people today We're the QUESTION of

of protection or the friends of free
