based upon the points of agreement
and not on the points of difference.
The things the people hold in common
are far more important than their diff

Mr.. Bryan here entered upon a de-
Tense of the administration and the
acts of the president. both in his Mex

declared that the president had pre-
served peace in the face of the grayest
problems ever faced by chief execu-

This sentiment won great applause
