PEOPLE OF INDIANA

Trusts In Their Hands.

He Warns Them Against Combinations

Menace to the Young Men-He Also
Deals With Philippine Problem.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 6. - The Bryan
train pulled out of the Indianapolis
union depot this morning at o'clock
for the second day Of the presidential
candidates tour of the state. National
Committeeman Taggart was a member
Of the escorting party today. The first
stop was made at Plainfleld. Here Mr.
Bryan spoke for only five minutes, He
discussed trusts and told the people that
they had the remedy for them in their
own hands. Referring to the Philip
pine islands, he SAID that if it was not
sight for one man to steal a pocketbook
1t was not right for many men to steal
1900 islands. The crowd was large and
| cheered lustlly as the train left for
Greencastle, the next stopping place.
Greencastle, the seat of the De-
Paw university, and strong Demo
cratic center, was reached while Mr..
Bryan was at breakfast He had just
finished his cantaloupe and oat meal
when the place was announced, but he
left the table good naturally and went
to speak to the people who had congre-
gated in large numbers. He addressed
himself especially to the university stu
dents, saying that he was pleased to
talk to the Young men, as he thought
the present conditions such as should
appeal especially to them.
Students Warned Against Trusts.
He warned them against trusts as cal
umniated by their combinations and
manipulations to materially reduce OPP
portunities for the rising generation, If
not to destroy the chances of many of
! them. Any system calculated to cur
tail opportunities for individual endea-
vor and doom the bulk of the aspiring
young men OF the country as perpetual
clerkship was, Mr.. Bryan said, to be
condemned. He also spoke of the in
crease of the standing army and the
tendency to Imperialism as subjects
in which the youth Of the land are es-
peoially interested. Referring to the
possibilities in case of permanent extern
sion Of our government to the Philip
pines, Mr. Bryan asked, IF the carpet
baggers steal in Cuba, only 200 miles
away, what can not be expected of them
in the Philippines, 1000 miles distant?"
"There," he declared, ''you can't
raise people up by sitting down on
Them" and pleaded that the Filipinos
had not been given fair chance in the
race for life.
Republicans Have No Plan.
He declared that the Republicans have
no plan for the Philippines.
Republicans, your president has no
plan, " he said, your cabinet has no
plan, your congress has no plan, your
orators have no plan, your editors have
no plan, you have no plan. Search your
head, search your heart, you know you
have no plan that you would even dare
tell your neighbors.
On the contrary, he said, the Demo-
Gratis had well defined plan. They
would have the .Filipinos treated as the
president had promised to treat the Gu
bans; in other words, would have them
given their liberty. Then he would
have the United States stand by them
like an older brother. AS the train
moved off o big chorus, occupying a
large, periodically decorated float, sang
a song predicting triumph for Mr. Bryan
and destruction for all his foes.
At Brazil Mr.. Bryan spoke for half
an hour to q large audience composed
largely Of coal miners. His speech was
devoted to labor questions
