BRYAN IS NUT
 AT TER OFFICE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE .ONE) in the arena of politics" Mir Bryan said:
 Even in my youth ha. no doubt of the final triumph of every righteous cause and my faith is even greater now, since l have seen reform after reform accomplished and great prin- ciples that were at first scoffed at written into the unrepealable law of the land.
 No one has been happier than in the character and constancy of his friends, or more generously rewarded for labor in the political arena. My ambition Is not to enjoy the honors of office. but to discharge as fully as l can the debt of gratitude owe to the American people.
 "I am aware that my place in history will not depend upon what others do for me, but upon what am able to do for my country. If kind providence adds years to my life they will be spent in an earnest effort to aid in put ting the American peopIe m complete control of their government, anu 10 promote peace among all the nations to the end that the conscience of our country and the world may more sure ly and more speedily overthrow injus- tice and establish among men the near est poss .ble approach to the divine measure of rewards.
 Beware of the dam" was the sub- ject of the Nebraskan's address. Com ! pairing civilization to 8 mighty river which will not be denied. he listed ob- structions which have been swept l he declared must go.
 In the latter class he placed the pro- ! fiji ger, private monopoly, obstacles to wage earners' progress and to the far mers' advance and the rules of the United States senate, which he declar- | cd should be changed to allow major ! .ty to close debate and compel a vote. |
 He suggested three remedies that ; surpass all others in effectiveness:
 Freedom of speech, supplying of | citizens with incorruptible channels of | information.
 "A government bulletin, not a news paper.
 Faith in the intelligence and capa' city of the people"
 He refused to admit the possibility of revolution in this country.
 We can better understand the poli- tlcal situation which we have to meet today If we bear in mind three propo- sltions," he said.
 First. that greed and selfishness are always attempting to obstruct hu- man progress.
 Second, that the sooner an obstruc- tion to the public will is removed, the better for all concerned.
 Third, right always triumphs in the end"
 Among Instructions which he said he had seen swept away were efforts of predatory wealth to prevent direct election of United States senators by the people. efforts of the rich to pre- vent authorization of an income tax, efforts of few magnates of Wall Street to kill the currency law which removed the financial power to Wash ington, efforts of powerful financial powers to stave off the coming of pro- hibition and efforts to prevent enfran- chisement of women
 Another great problem that presses upon us for solution is that presented by the private monopoly. All the ben eficiaries of monopoly are assembling in one army and under one leadership to challenge the right of the people to own and operate natural monopolies in the interest of the public It matters not in what form the issue is present ed, whether in the corporate owner ship of municipal franchises or in the private ownership of telegraph lines. telephone lines or railway lines, it is an obstruction that must be removed
 "A private monopoly is indefinable and intolerable. It is inconceivable that intelligent men will permit them selves long to remain the victims of those who use the private monopoly as a means of exploiting the public"
