Bourke Cockran's Reply in Madison Square Garden Speech
The coterie of millionaires who paid Bourke Cockran for his Madison Square Garden speech will see high costs in the campaign. He offered no direct answer to Bryan's arguments, partly because he could not and partly to avoid harming his party.

The trend suggests campaign speakers will wield big money, benefiting the country by circulating Wall Street’s wealth.
