Bryan halted his remarks after a bugle interruption and quipped it was a touch of militarism. He spoke again at several towns during the day including Springfield Xenia and Washington Courthouse before leaving. In other items, Mr and Mrs Martin Sayers of Alyria were killed crossing a railroad track in a buggy.
