one. Senator James, Kentucky's

speech, a keynote Of defiance. James
got almost as enthusiastic reception
as did the main keynoter, Mar

for Bryan, but on the first intima-
ton that he was wanted the COM
moner slipped away from his seat in
the press box.

man, announced that the convention
would have plenty OF time in which
to hear the great commoner If it
wished. He said that this afternoon
Bryan had to leave to talk else
where.

MS speech as given the press, skip
ping about from place to place.

war would not make a panic in the

~ because he had not worked up
