and after his election gets into &C
ton.
Mr.. Bryan went into the question Of
the initiative and referendum and en-
dorsed it in it's fullest sense, along
with the recall and other progressive
measures. He said that President
Wilson taught his students tor twenty
years that the initiative and referen-
dunn was unwise but on being con-
Vinced that it was a good thing, about
faced and was frank enough to admit
his error.
At every mention of the Presidents
name yesterday there was thunderous
applause, but it was noted that when
the name Of the Great Discoyerer Of
the River Of Doubt was mentioned
silence reigned supreme.
Science of Government.
The science Of government was de-
clared by the speaker to be a noble
science and as a motto for legislators
to be governed by Mr.. Bryan gave
them that quotation from the Scrip
lures which says that a good name
is rather to be chosen than great
riches and loving favour rather than
silver and gold.''
The Secretary stated that he did
not know but that he was treading on
dangerous ground but without any
| qualification or QualnS of conscience
endorsed woman suffrage, saying that
| every argument against votes for
women could be answered and when
| any one began to argue to him against
| the fitness Of women for the voting
| privilege he merely asked them to
visit the penitentiaries and the
| churches In his home State 90 per
! cent Of the ConvictS were men and
| only two per cent women and in the
| churches You would find a preponder-
| ance Of women. If the women could
vote there would never be any more
| wars. They were the chief sufferers
| from the ravages Of these dreadful
| conflicts.
Trust The People.
In closing Mr.. Bryan told the mem
bers Of the Legislature that if they
would trust the people they would
live up to the standard of legislative
life and would return to their people
with the plaudits Of the people. well
done good and faithful servants
Presented With Cane.
A pleasing incident in connection
with the exercises yesterday was the
presentation to Mr.. Bryan, Of a cane
made by Private Bethune OF Raeford
a member Of Company A. fifth artil
lery, coast artillery. c. S.. A. The
presentation speech was made b.
