This Is what he says after survey

the voters thought l was self-seeking

Democrats TO send progressive dele

Give me-a progressive platform and
I'll show you how well can fight for
somebody else"
Bryan's new speech Is noted for it's
optimism. He says that all mankind
are facing the immediate dawn OF a
Wonderful new era. He begins by
saying:
