Bryan Praises Suizer.
Mr.. Bryan's speech, the last one OF
the evening. emphasized his sense OF
the friendliness of the New York at
mosphere toward him and the meas
ures which he believes have become
identified with his name. All signs TO
the contrary Notwithstanding, he felt
he said, that Democracy stood united
behind both Sulzer and Wilson. He
praised both these standardbearers as
true progressives, and congrs stulated
both New York and the nation upon
their election. When some one yelled,
in relation to Wilson's nomination,

tunity. Preparedness does not avail until

formed each duty as IL arose. IL was his
record al a legislator In your state which
pointed him out as suitable candidate
to represent you In Washington. And
when you gave him this larger opportun-
tty you improved II. He has been V'si-
liant watchman on the tower. And ne has
always been on the peoples side.
