Rice answered that: "I'd like to see the man travel this country unprotected." Bodenstein, the newspaper man, spoke up, and said: "I've got a friend with a wife and seven children, who will cross the continent unprotected, provided you give 'em money enough." Rice reiterated: There's $10,000 ready any moment that the man wants to go under my conditions." Conditions of the Wager. That was the beginning of the trip.

Then, also, you must remember that there are others! in the Democratic party whose claims must be considered: men who have' been loyal to all party candidates, and who have done all that they could for Democracy. They have some right in the matter and therefore It! would hardly be right for me to an-. nounce publicly that I am a candl-j date and place some of my friends it an embarrassing position. I certalnlj don t want to sit down for a' period of two years looking pretty and getting myself into a receptive food. One thing you can be certain of I appreciate what my fellow Americans have' done for mem and will trp to remain a good American." Knows About Reception.
