Neenah, Wis, Oct. S0.-Mr. Bryan be-
gan his Wisconsin campaign this morning
at Green Bay, where he arrived at $50
o'clock, spending three hours in his special
car on a siding near that place. No in
cidents occurred on the night run from
Chicago. Between 5000 and 5000 people
braved the raw morning air that came
with chilling force across the breadth of
Lake Michigan and stood around the tenn
porary platform in Whitney park to hear
Mr.. Bryan.
"Gold bugs" were quite prominent on the
streets of the town and cheers for Nc
Kinley were heard. At first the audience
was like the atmosphere, but it warmed
up as Mr.. Bryan proceeded and became
exceedingly enthusiastic. Green Bay was
the home Of Senator Howe, and apropos or
his views on the income tax back in the
seventies, Mr.. Bryan talked about that
feature of the Chicago platform, holding
that only the people with large incomes
were against its enactment. Gov Peck
Joined Mr.. Bryan at Green Bay and Will
accompany him through the state.
Ten minutes at La Pere were devoted
to telling 1000 people something about the
money question.
Kaukakuna came next, and ten min
utes speech was made by the candidate.
His audience numbered 1900 or 5000, and
to II Mr.. Bryan said, in part: Yesterday
evenings paper announced that there had
been a furry in Wall street, and that
money was loaning on call as high as
100 per cent. What harvest these peo-
pie who have money and who can make
100 per cent get out OF this little embar-
rassment How long do you suppose you
will have to wait before these people,
whenever there is little embarrassment
like this, can charge a higher rate or m
terest? How long do you think you VIII
have to wait before these men VIII join
in crusade to have money enough in
this country to do business with? You
might just as well expect fox to stand
guard over chicken house as to expect
them to do it,"
About 5000 people composed the gather
ing that greeted Mr.. Bryan at Appleton.
They showed considerable enthusiasm.

| Somebody grabbed baner borne by the
republicans labelled, ''Sweet Sixteen to
| One-Nit," and then trouble began. En-
i ergetic democrats made rush at thoir
| political opponents. Fisticuffs became gem

earth. The battle was over in a minute,
