He simply charmed his hea and as a co quence there was much talk among delegates 1o the Assembly that candidate of the dent was Mr. Bryan. wterian minister from one of the largest cities in the North, and a Republican, after hearing one of Mr. Hrys sermons, said that he had made up his mind that Bryan was the nation’s most useful citizen and the hest equipped man for the Presidency, and that if he did not wear the cloth he should give a grea® «aeal for the opportunity to go to Bal- timore as a delegate and vote for Mr, Bryan for the presidential nomina- tion and then re‘urn home, canvass his city for him and vote for him in the election. A minister from a smaller city, but a Bryan man all wool and a yard wide, who had been supporting the Nebraskan ever since 1896, said: “You ure a good of the American voter About this time before every clection as the log everybody in the country is for Bry- an. The Democrats are for him to a man and thousands of Republicans ar that if given anotheropportun- ity they will join with the Democrats «nd make Mr. Bryan President But when the time comes round to vote and when the Wall street mon- ey begins to work ont in the states|se and when the corporation lawyers begin to tell that four years of fam- ine ave in store, that all the mills actories going to close change your mind in and will vote for the Repub- nominee.” This particular are niinister went on to say that all of Roosevelt's present popularity and the only thing that had enabled him te overthrow Taft in state after state and particularly in the Presi- dent’'s home state of Ohio, had been ,the fact that he was merely stand- ||1., on Bryan's platform. Those who heard the minister helieve that he has a pretty accurate line on the situation. It is a fact that many of the delegates to the Assem- bly told Mr. Bryan that he was the logical candidate aand that he should be nominated at Baltimore. \|:||.||an\ Mr. Bryan paid no heed 1o these statements and said that he had made himselt perfectly clear a5 to his attitude, For the past sixteen years the country has had no man whose time Las been more thoroughly than Mr. Bryan's, busy every minute, engaged He has been but with all the work that he has done, with all the train and the fatigue that he undergone, has his his tenderness present, and those Who Know him in cities, towns and Villages from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific can testiry his Kindness, thoughtfulness and Lave been ever that on any of his is never oo tired and it is never oo late for him to pay a call or assick friend or to send a thought- ful message visits he 1o some one from greeting him and hand.
