retary of state of the Wilson cabinet,
delivered one of his old time polltlcaI
addresses. which the people like SO
well to hear, to an immense throng
that packed the streets in front or the
Gardner hotel early this afternoon,
introduced by DR.. Z. M, Darrow as
.'the apostle of peace and watchful
waiting" the secretary refresheneo
his listeners minds with the appela,
tion of "the boy orator OF the Platte,
derisively given him when he first
began campaigning in this country
two decades ago. Slipping black

tion from the crisp breeze, Mr.. Bryan
said he was no longer a boy, put now

Exceeded All Expectations.
"our PRESIDENT mas gone beyond all
expectations. We have exceeded all
S,,,1 Yronnises. II has now come to a,
time when the people must sunstan-
TALLY express their approval or disap-
ITroval of his efforts and our record

be hopeful to go through what I've
gone through. And am hopeful that
the people will express the approval
that has been heard from many SIDES
But that you must do week from To-
morrow.
II am not here to tell you how to
svote. lam here to tell you what your
vote will mean. If you are with the
,president and vote to send him sen
Iator and CONGRESSMAN to uphold his
policies, it win mean that you nave
endorsed his sentiments.
.sIf YOU are against the president and
register your disapproval, it will be
something significant not only IN
North Dakota, but in the entire world,
for the whole world now has It's eyes
On woodrow Wilson in these strenuous
Dimes to see II his policies represent
the sentiment of his people. II you
vote to send him representatives IN
congress you will convince the world
that YOU approve Of the great stand
lne has taken in the movement Tor uni
yereal peace. If you vote against him
by voting to send men who Will op-
pose him in congress, the world may
be convinced that woodrow wilson
migrepresents the sentiment OF tne
American people.
"Many men have come to me priv
ateiy. in the hotels, on the streets and
have expressed their great satisfac-
ton with our president and the demo
cratic administration and have SAID
though they are republicans they. en-
dorse everything our president and our
party has done. Yet how hollow that
Ali would be If they do not send men
to uphold the president during the next
two years of his administration.

week of the campaign. We could sc
out and talk to the people and con-
vince them, but in the very last week
of the campaign enough money would

election against US.
