OUT DIFFICULTY.
GREAT CROWDS EVERYWHERE.
The elimination of 1t All Came in
Detroit, Where the jam Was
Simply Terrific.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. E.-William j.
Bryan completed his spectacular tour
of Michigan tonight by addressing the
largest throngs Of people ever gathered
at political meetings in Detroit. From
a platform erected against the Wash
ington boulevard side of the Hotel Cad
lilac, he talked to a mass of people
which filled the wide boulevard and eX-
tended far into adjoining streets. At
the Auditorium he spoke to an audi
ence which occupied every inch Of space
while thousands stood outside, wait
ing for a possible sight of the candi-
date. Lastly he appeared upon a
stand erected at the Woodward avenue
front of the city hall before a crowd
which was so great that it stopped all
street car and other traffic entirely.
In the Washington boulevard speech
Mr.. Bryan said in part: We have lost
the support Of some Democrats, but
my friends, it is only the big Demo-
Gratis who have left us. The rank and
file of the party are still true to the
traditions of the party. And we have
not lost even all Of our leaders be-
cause while we have given up John, we
still have Dan. But, my friends, even
If we have lost our leaders it is a
great deal easier in a country like this
for party to get leaders than 1t is
for leaders to form a party. Great
tccracy is arrayed on one side and de-
mocracy on the other, the democrats
who leave us in the face of the enemy
must understand that they surrender
all claim to authority in the Democratic
party and all claim of respect of those
who love Jefferson and Jackson. Great
applause).
We are fighting the same fight that
has been fought in every generation.
1t is fight that comes, in our form of
government, over and over again In
times of peace and quiet the great ag-
gregations Of. wealth silently obtain
possession of the government. They
have used the inStrumentalities of the
government for public plumber, and
then, when the people have been arous-
ed, when they realize their danger and
WIN the people gather themselves to-
gether to drive out of power those who
nave abused government those in the
enjoyment of special privileges always
entTench themselves behind a bulwark
raised to contribute magnificent cam
palgn funds to retain power, expecting
to get back more out of the people than
1t cost to buy an election. But the
American people have never failed i'm
any crisis in the past nor have thew
reason to believe that they will fail in
this great crisis. 1t is true that we
have on the other side as great a cam
pd4SH IuHu as was ever raised In Amerl-
can politics. 1t is true that they are
resorting to intimidation and coercion
as they never resorted to them before.
but, my friends, while money talks.
money don't vote in the United States.
Great applause) In this campaign we
believe that the rank and file Of the
Vo' of the United States, knowing
What the gold standard has done, know
ing what the gold standard must con-
tinue to do, will arouse themselves for
one supreme struggle and in that strug-
gle the consciences Of the American
people will prevail over the pull of the
syndicates, trusts and combinations.
