“The Republican* are now boosting that

would any man send hi* money to Europe

onroad for Inveatment must he rent for

Galena. Kans.. Kept 17.-OU Joplin. Mr
Bryan told the people that there could be
but two reasons for a large army One of
these was to “serve the pur|>ose of an im
perialistic policy and the other to sup
press by force those dementia'ions caused
by wrongs which should be remleded by
lrgtaUtion.'*
The fUpuhllcsn party would not. he said,
avow the latter reason, and It must base
its action upon the former.
Mr. Bryan addressed a large crowd here.
Among those present on the platform
was E&x-Oov. 8. J. Crawford, formerly a
Republican.
Mr. Bryan made a general review of ihe
political Issues. He took up the I'htiip
plne question at the outset, declaring in
mis connection that the Democrats were
quoting the Declaration of Inle|*-r><V*nce
more in this caniftaign than the Repub
licans were.
•*Th*y are getting Into the habit of

farmer declaration that the common sol*
