thero was but little room left. Hundreds
were ttirned nwny and as many mnro made
no attempt to secure ndmlHslon after see
ing tho crowds about the doors.
Senator Hurrows' speoch was convincing
throughout and made a deep impression
upon his hearers. The speaker was Intro
duced by Congressman Hurkctt. He began
bis romarks by saying that a victory for
tho democratic party would mean free
silver nnd free trade, either of which
would result disastrously for the nation.
Ho said the cries of imperialism, mili
tarism and trusts wero raised for tho pur
pose of deception and that none of thoso
throe issues wero ns Important to the
democratic party ns either free silver or
free trade. Ho recited tho evils of both
nnd next turned his attention to tho demo
cratic argument against expnnslon, placing
particular emphasis on tho Inconsistency
of W. J. Hryan In denouncing the treaty of
pence after ho had nilvocnted Its ratifica
tion In congress. fining back to tho early
history of tho Spanish-American war tho
speaker said that no power on earth could
havo prevented the hostilities with Spain
after tho Maine was destroyed.
"Kvon Hryan was for war." ho said.

Ho next cnlled attontlon to tho terras ol
tho protocol and then to tho terms of the
treaty of peace, which Rrynn helped ratify
and which declared that Spain should
evacuate and cede the archipelago to the
t'nlted States.
"Up to the ratification of tho treaty our
democratic friends wero with us and urged
us on. but now Hryan doesn't like the
treaty becauso of its provisions concerning
tho Philippine Islands, if that was not n
good treaty why did Hryon Beek to have It
ratified?"
Sonator Hurrows next called attention
to tho resolution offered In an executive
session of tho United States senato by Vest
of Missouri, whlnh provided for the saiuo

precinct asked: "How hnve you put me
down on your roll book to vote""
'For Bryan," confidently replied the com
mitteeman.
"Alright." responded Smith, "but I won't
do It. I did four years ago, but 1 know
better this time"
This simply serves ns nn lllustrntlnn of
