Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, society authoress: "Writing in The Forum on 'Women in Washington,' I described Ruth Hanna McCormick, wife of 'lameduck' Senator Medill McCormick of Illinois, daughter of the late Mark Hanna. Said I: 'With her black eyes and lovely long lines, she has every characteristic of a thoroughbred racing mare.'"

William Jennings Bryan: "I addressed the Democratic throng in Madison Square Garden, Manhattan. Digressing upon what I owed to the Democratic Party, said I: 'It took me up when I was ten years younger than any other man had been when he was nominated by a great party, and it found me in a Western state, farther west than it had ever gone before, and it gave me a million more votes than it had given any Democrat before [applause] and it nominated me twice afterward, and I never had to use any money and I had no organization.' [Applause.] Then I said: 'Partisans spare that party, touch not

a single bough; 'In youth it sheltered me, and I will

protect it now.'" [Loud cheers and

applause.]
