240 MARIETTA ST.
Chattanooga, g'enn., April 11.—In Ids
speech at the banquet In Ills honor
here last night, .Mr. Bryan devoted. Ills
opening remarks to a reply to tho sug
gestion of John Temple Graves tlmt lie
nonijnnle Roosevelt for the presidency
In the next national Democratic con
vention. He satd in part:
"Fellow Democrats: I know you will
pardon me If. before I begin to speak- Democrats,^1 think,
to you. I unload a little. (Laughter.)
When I hear tile very good things that
are said by my enthusiastic friends,
when 1 hear the compliments which,
sincere as they are, I know are not de
served, 1 can feel embarrassed and yet
grateful for the generosity that leads
these gentlemen to overstate my merit.
But I can be like Hie homely girl whose
sweetheart told her that sue was beau
tiful. She retired to her closet and nft-
8r looking at herself In the mirror said,
' 1 thank God love is blind.'
"A man in public life gets so much
more abuse that he doesn't deserve that
It Is only fair that he should get more
praise than he deserves: It helps to re
tain the parity. Although I think In
my case that the ratio Is apparent that
I have received more praise than
have abuse.
"Thla club is the' only club of the
kind In the United States: and, I may
say, the world (laughter), for. If there
la no other club In this country that
celebrates my birthday, 1 am satisfied
that there la not going to be anothtr
outside the country that does It.
"I am glad to come here, because I
appreciate the honor that is Implied 111
the organization of lids club, und I ap
preciate more than words can express
the personal affection, the personal de
votion. the personal los'alty that has
been shown me by the members of this
club. I am glad that I can be with you
on this occasion.
Felt 8omewhat Embarrassed.
"I am embarrassed somewhat by the
speech that has been made by my good
friend from Georgia (Mr. Graves); em
barrassed for two reasons. In the first
place, he states what he thinks I ought
to do; and, In the second place, In re
fusing to follow his suggestions, 1 may
lay myself open to the criticism that
I am regarding my own ambition rath
er than the welfare of the party or the
country. I appreciate his honesty: I
appreciate his sincerity, and no one
more than I appreciates his willingness
to follow his own conscience and say
what he thought ought to be said with-
out the expectation of Its being ac
cepted by you. I say I can appreciate
this fact. I have mvself had sometimes
to do things that I thought ought to
be done when I was not by any means
ill a majority In doing It.
"Down at St. Louis, two years ago.
last summer, I had to do things that I
knew I had very little support In doing;
but 1 did them because I thought I
ought to do them, and as I have fol
lowed my conscience with respect to
those who follow their conscience.
Believes In Frss Speech.
"It Is true tlmt when 1 learned he had
retired from the hall because he thought
there was objection to his speech be
ing made, I asked that I)* be brought
back and Invited to speak, for I believe
the Jeffersonian doctrine of free
speech. If there Is any place where
speech ought to be free, It is at a
Democratic meeting. (Applause.)
"It the suggestions he has made are
w-lso suggestions, we could not meet
them by refusing to listen to him. If
the suggestions he has made are un
wise suggestions. It would do no harm
to have them made to Democrats. These
an be trusted
take the suggestions and judge them
their merits."
Then turning directly to the subject
of .Mr. Graves' recommendation, -Mr.
Bryan said:
“As St present advised, I shall not
present the name of Theodors Roone-
vslt to the national Democratic con
vention. BEAR IN MIND, I SAY.‘AS
AT PRESENT-AOVISED.'”
Air. Bryan continued that if after ma
lure consideration nml reflection.' <
the presentation of the arguments
the case, he should be convinced that
Ills duty lay In that direction, he would
present Mr. Roosevelt's name If II
should prove the last act of his life.
He then went on to say that If any
Republican was to be selected by the
Democrats to head their national tick
et. the man should be Senator La
Follette, of Wisconsin. Mr..Brian then
proceeded with bis apeech, presenting
reasons why. In Ills opinion. Mr. Roose
velt was not the proper man for the
presidency.
Growth of. Democracy.
Mr. Bryan took up the growth of the
Democratic principle and traced

Ideas in the United States, dwelling
especially upon this, he said, "During

Senator Carmack’s Praist.
Then Senator Carmack conserva
tively took Issue with Mr. Graves In
his position. He also shook hands
warmly with Mr. Graves. He said:
“You did a brave, big thing tonight!
Mr. Bryan paid high tribute to Mr.
Graves. He said that he had done a

Mr. Paxton I went to Thaw nnd he
said: ‘I want to get away from here
without creating any panic.' When I
asked why he did the shooting, he said:
•He ruined my wife.'"
Thaw Makes Comment.
Warner Paxton's testimony was then
read. At this point Horry Thaw hand-
ed thla to the reporters:
“I wish they had sixty-four othtr
original letters from the deceased."
Paxton said he had been talking with
Stanford White for ten minutes before
ho saw Thaw standing on the opposite
side of the hail.
I walked away, leaving Mr. White
resting hlw head on Ills hand, which
was resting on tht table. I had gone
but a few feet—maybe 50—when I
heard a shot. I looked and saw Thaw
holding a revolver tuward Mr. White.
Before I could reach him I heard an
other shot and then another. Thaw
then walked slowly from the table,
looking straight ahead."

" 'That Is all right, dearie,’ he an
swered, 'I have probably saved your

"Doorman Thomas F. Lynch's testi
