ately repaired 10 the speakers plat
form. near the Northern hotel, where
he was met by one of the largest crowds
that has greeted him during the cam
paign. He was in excellent voice and
spoke with distinctness and grace.
During the day Mr.. Bryan Travelled go

speeches. He began the day with a
three-minute speech at Elk Point, and
his first speech of length was made at
Yankton. After this speech he made
long addresses in the towns of Scot

Republicans Defend Trusts.
Mr.. Bryan's remarks upon the starch
combination, as it affects the Argo
works at Nebraska City, made at
Yankton, were in part as follows:
The Republican party today stands
for the trust and if any Republican in
this community tells you that the party
you would cut out an editorial which
appears in this mornings Sioux City
Journal and read the editorial to your
Republican friend and show him that
the Republicans today. instead of try
ing to find a way to destroy the trusts,
are defending the trusts. You Will find
in the paper an editorial in regard to
the Nebraska, City meeting which we
had there last Wednesday. l will tell
you about the meeting in order that
-
have a starch factory in Nebraska City
and il went into the starch trust and
the attorney general of Nebraska, a
Democrat, elected by the fusion forces,
has commenced suit to dissolve the
trust and restore the management of
the Argo Starch company to the local
people there, and the Republicans of
Nebraska City made a protest against
the enforcement Of the law. I want
you to understand that when a man
steals $50 you Republicans are in favor
of prosecuting him, but when a trust
conspires against 10000, 600 of people,
you protest against the law being en-
forced.
AT Nebraska City a Republican
judge was chairman of the committee
on resolutions at the meeting and pre-
sented resolutions asking the attorney
general not to enforce the law against
the trust Now, this paper says that
the people there were opposed to trusts
until the trust was located in their
midst, and then they saw what a good
thing the trust was, and then they did
not want it disturbed and that as soon
as the people throughout the country
know what good things the trusts are
they will be opposed to disturbing
them, and that every man working for
a trust would be opposed to interfer-
ence with that trust l want you Re
pubhcans to know that your party
never intends to destroy the trusts
Speaks on Silver Issue.
Mr. Bryan began his speech with a
review of the Inconsistencies of the Re
publican party, covering the silver, the
greenback and the national bank ques-
tions.
He asked:
IF the head of the Standard Oil trust
insists upon voting a Republican ticket,
cant you take the hint and see that
you should vote in opposition to it %
Mr.. Bryan left here tonight for North
where he is booked to make
nine speeches tomorrow.
Speaks at Mitchell.
The meeting was held on vacant
ground near the corn palace, an i'm
mense structure of Indian corn in
which the corn belt exposition was
held. Mr. Bryan mounted a table and
addressed himself to the people on one
side and then to those on the other
going around the circle without parJi-
atty. Mr. Bryan began his speech by
saying that he had not supposed that
there were so many people in the cOun-
try as there were present
The first part of the address at Nit
chell was devoted to a presentation of
Mr.. Bryan's views upon the attitude of
the Republican party toward the gold
standard and national banks.
Ice Trust Is Republican.
The people at Huron seemed disposed
to ask questions and Mr.. Bryan an
that he would reply to any
person who would give their names and
their politics. He responded to ques-
tions about remedies for the trusts and
then some one asked about the ice
trust To this question, Mr.. Bryan re
piled:
THE ice trust is a New York and
not a national affair and the New York
people can take care of it, but the gov
ernOr of New York, instead of correct
ing the ice trust comes out west to
make speeches. But I want to go a
little further. Every director of the
ice trust is a Republican and yet you
people do not even attempt to destroy
a Republican trust
Some one also asked: Why did
Teddy get rotten-egged in Colorado?"
Mr. Bryan replied:
ASK those who did it. 1 might sug-
gest to you that when they threw rot
ten eggs at me in Chicago. no Republi-
can found fault with it, but my friends,
am going to do better than the Re
publicans. 1 am going TO find fault
with anyone who interfereS with any
man who expresses his opinion on any
question in the United States"
