Nevertheless ? laitjcrity of th" .a.'K*
crowd held on to the cid and most of
them showed their apprei ration by
frequent and lo I applause.
M r. I My a n was introduced by Col.
L. Victor Ilaughman. whose home is
at this place, and Col. Ilaughman as
v-Woll as Mr. Bryan. was mo t cordially
greeted. Mr. Uryan was well alcng in
his speech when he made the declara
tion above fprotcl. nr.d this was fol
lowed by an additional statement run
ning thus: "And that is ihc reason
why all the great law-breakers are
again it us in the ctmp'.inn " introduc
.ing his speech. Mr. llryan siid:
"The Demo-ratic party is not a sec
tional party of yi.u hn|ld a govern
ment. upon the. Declaration of Indepen
dence and administer it according to
the ideas of Jefferson. is as broad
and as long as the nanotf. If we were
seeking .some ela.^s pg!.?ln{i'on, which
would give to (he few an advantage
over the many, we would be a :sect~onal
party, because we would only appeal
to those specially hcncHted by the leg
islation promised, but we are not i l y
ing to get. voiir hands into somebody
else's pockets. We are trying to k? ? j>
other people's hands out of your pock
ets and when a party seeks nothing
but justice,and promises nothing but
oqiial right's, you can appeal to all peo
ple everywhere who are seeking to
make government a blessing to ail.
and not merely an ad van! apt' to tin
few. Partiality in government, fa
voritism in government, thc-o have
been curses of government in the pasi.
and to-day the greatest fault that can
he found with this or any other ?*.>>?
ernmcnt is that instead of being ad j
ministered as a government of the peo- i
pie, for the people and by the people
it. is administered in he intero-t ofa I
few who grow rich by using the in i
strumentalities of government again** I
.'the great majority. I charge against I
the Republican party to-day that in all j
its policies it is ignoring the producer
of wealth and disregarding the rights ]
of the plain people in its efforts to
give some a great opportunity to ex
ploit the rest."
During his speech, some one in the
crowd, evidently not well Informed, j
asked Mini why he had signer the |
Paris peace treaty.
?'I did not sign it." replied Dry- |
an, "1 was not President and then
would have been no such treaty signed
jl I had been President." He then took
occasion to explain his participation
in the matter of ratification of the
treaty and said he had no apologies to
make for it. Continuing his address,
Mr. IVryan said: "In this town there
is a monument reared to the man who
wrote the "Star-Spanrled Danner." Do
you know that when you voto for a
colonial policy von vote to do-:troy
that as the national hymn? A Fili
pino cannot sing the "Star-Spangled
Banner."
