moat subtle relation between the uerv-
ou* system and the voice.
"As a basic proposition," he said,
“you may trace every impediment in
speech to nervous Influences. Starting
with this, the effect of a depleted nerv
ous system on tlie voice I* plain. The
mechanisms of the vocal organ* are In
tricate of themselves, and the nerves
which control these organ* multiply
their complexities. Iu a failing voice,
then, oue must always look to the con
dition of the nervous system. In the
cases of Bryan and Roosevelt, the
tilings most calculated to derange their
nerves are those which react upon these
nervous systems. Unquestionably the
two things which most do this are ex
citement and the sense of opposition In
an audience which every political
speaker lias to face.”
Gets Little Rest,
“Physically, too, the work of a great
campaign ou the railroad* tells upon a
speaker. There is a loss of »leep al

this, anil to the extent that they are
kept awake the whole system Is af

As the nerve* are affected,
too. tlie tendency toward Impairment
of the voice Is Increased.
In many
ways they tend to this, chiefly by dis
concerting the speaker and causing him
to waste lung power.
