Doyer. Del, September 21.-Candidate
Bryan began mis- speech making in Della
ware this afternoon by addressing a
large crowd which had assembled at the
Fair Grounds to hzar him. Excursion
trains brought many people from the
lower part Of Delaware and the eastern
shore Of Maryland.
Mr.. Bryan said in part:
If things are good, then there is no
reason why we should make any change
in legislation. If cur present condition
is satisfactory, then we ought to leave
it alone and not make change. No
one can advocate any kind OF remedial
gislation except on the theory tina;
there is something that needs remedy
ing. Our opponents confess the condi-
uon, and when I tell you that you can
noJ remedy the present condition except
by financial legislation, our opponents
tel Us that the trouble is in the tariff
question, and mat if we could just have
more tariff. then times would get good
again. want to read YOU an extract
from speech made on last Saturday by
ghe Republican candidate for President
al Canton. He said: Under The Repuh-
lican protective policy W. enjoyed for
