REUBEN HARLOW WRITES THE
LEDGER ON Mr. BRYAN'S LEG
TURE----IT WAS THE STUFF

Bryan after having been defeated
three times has a better chance next
time, IL he will consent to run
than he ever had, because the peo-
pie have more confidence than
they ever had before in their lives;
he is older and better posted in gov
ernmeut affairs than he was eight
years ago.
Mr.. Bryan's share of the gate re-
ceipts at Mexico was $477 dollars, SO
says the Paris Appeal, Mr. Blan-
tons paper, 1t was cheap enough
at that, when we think about it. For
a man like Mr.. Bryan, he's worth
1t. Everybody's well pleased. That
$477 will never be missed. The
truth of the business Is, we always
get our moneys worth every time
Mr.. Bryan lectures to the people.
What we want is, more religion
and less politics. Mr.. Bryan is an
| educator. | can see great change
has come over the people since
he preached that missionary ser
mon at Mexico ON "The Prince Of
Peace. Everybody seems to bt
more sociable now than they evel
we're before they heard Mr.. Bryan le'
ture.
