Ia'part Mr. Brinson jaidtemonstrated by.thj foreign armies in : r"I am sure that I voice the sentiment the fac of shot and shjlk Since that of all when J say that three is general time I have delved 'more desply into regret over the fact' that Secretary ef the 1il story and have learned the per- -sute Winiam. Jennlngs Bryan, is not able to be present on this occasion. " I desire to make it perfectly plain to you that Mtrf.' Leon Williams,' the leading spirit in this celebration, is - not by any means responsible for Mr. ; - Bryan's absence. :Mr. Bryan wanted vto come, but in accepting, the invita- - tion to visit this city he did so with the understanding that if the affairs of. the State Department interferred, - he would be unable to attend. - -' . "The affairs of' thi.i nation are now at. a crisis and we dre glad, to-know that Secretary Bryan places the dis charge of ; his official ;dutie 'ahead of r ' all personal matters. I have a letter and also a telegram from- Secretary i Bryan In which he explains the- situa ,, tlon and expresses his regret at. being unable to attend and I will read 1 3 you what he says. 1 ' ' .

Statesmen. , A gentleman who has been a leader . in all movements for the betterment " of morality jtnd an orator of ability." - Ad mist the applause from several thousand throats, Mr. Hobson arose and began hiB speech. ' In part he said: Ladies and Gentlemen:' I feel grate ful, to Mr. Brinson for the eloquent words which he has just spoken, but . I disagree with'him on the question of compensation for there can be no adequate compensation for the absence of Secretary of Stats, William Jennings Bryan, the great commoner, the friend of the common people.- . I recognize fully the hazard ofvun dertaking to speak in his place and 1 only hope that in coming to visit my old grandmother (the" St ate of North Carolina) that she will be lenient wltlH me.

There you will find their mark. In the decisions of the " Supreme Court of the United States' the decision! of the Southerners are more widely quoted and applied whenever the true principles of justice are required. j .

In read ing history it will be found that' the Southerner soldier stands at the head of the American army. i - Praises Southerner. I used to be entertained by reading poems describing famous battles, such as 'Tthe Charge of the Light Brigade' k I often, thought of the couraee centage o( men lost by the South in thjtr great conflict : with the North, surpassed 'an record ever set Jajhe history' c? the world. Infact the South ern troops set the standard for the whole: world ;and.' attained the high water mark. In all o( the deeds of valor ! performed by r the Southern troops-1 find, that the bravest of them" all. was the Twenty-Sixth North Car olina Regiment, who fought until the last faint ray of cvictory had vanished and left the '.field strewn with their dead. " "I ee before me Confederate sol diers who were the comrades of tny fatherl . I never (ound out from these men of their deeds of valor but it was fromothers that I learned of their courage and how bravely they fought. There were Southern soldiers in the army who did not know the meanine of the word give up and there are in- 1 j "j , . . smncca . recuruea wnere me aoutnern army has left thirtj-five per cent of its . troops lying on the battlefield at the close of an encounter. Taking this Into consideration it can easily be seen that the Southerner and the United States army stands in a class by them selves and has; attained the high water mark in valor. "-. - .k . .. r, :'. "In war of peace the Southerner is a born leader. .Realizing this, you and I are responsible for the South and we should take account of the measures that-we must adopt to secure the leader ship of the nation. , Investigation shows that the South is taking the highest ranks in National affairs. President Wilson is a Southern man. . Chairmen of various committees of both Houses are Southerners and Southern men are In the cabinet, but the South has not had the advantages of taking the lead er hips that it should on account of the fact that the destruction caused by war has taken so much time to recon struct that it has interfered with our education. .
