MIR. BRYAN IN CHARLESTON.
Senator Tillman Was Present, But
Health Prevented His Staying.

Charleston, Dec. 16.-William J.
| Bryan, leading exponent Of the forces
in the United States who are battling
with words against war and the gen
eral program OF defense. tonight
brought his message for universal
peace to the delegates Of the South
ern Commercial Congress in the Ger
man Artillery Hail, which was filled
to capacity. Hundreds were turned
away unabl to gain admittance.
Another distinguished speaker of
the evening was VIM. G. Gorgas, sur.
gcOn general L. S. A., who won a
worldwide reputation because of his
conquest OF disease in the tropics.
The title of the Commoners ad-
dress was War or Peace" He has
been delivering practically the same
address at many points in the United
states since his retirement as Secre-
tary Of State in the Wilson cabinet.
The address OF Mr.. Bryan injected
a new element into the Commercial
congress, which has been giving Sc
rious consideration to the necessity
ol armirg the United States 10 rcpel
al invasion. In his address the for
mer secretary ridiculcd the idea Of a
nation attacking the United States,
thought that the driving out Of whis-
key to prepare the citizenship physi-
cally fit for a battle is better and
ScathinGly arraigned what he termed
the jtngo metropolitan press.
MIR. Bryan was given an ovation
tonight when he entered the conven-
tion hall. More than 100 persons
jumped to their feet, cheering wildly.
The COmmoner was particularly
eloquent and despite the fact that
many in the audience were opposed
TO some of the policies enunciated he
received liberal applause on every
point scored in favor of peace. The
efforts OF Mr.. Bryan to secure pro-
Sressive legislation and his constant
hSht for measures to help the masses
was the comment by Senator Duncan
u. Fletcher. president, who intro
duced the former secretary.
Senator b. r. Tillman was present
at the meeting, but was forced to
leave shortly after Mr. Bryan began
his address. The Senator assured
Mr.. Bryan that it was his physical
condition that caused him to retire
and said that he would read all that
he had to say.
Upon being introduced Mr.. Brayn
said that it was a great pleasure to
have the privilege of addressing the
Commercial Congress. He called at
tention to the fact that three United
States Senator'S were present to hear
his address.
In his address tonight Mr.. Bryan
did not advocate the dismantling Of
the fleet or the disorganization Of the
army. He vigorously opposed the
increase OF these two fighting wings
Of the government service. At one
time in his address the former Secre-
tary said: And | 50 much believe in

bound for Scottish ports.
