Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 2.-Hon. Will
lam j. Bryan devoted his entire time
yesterday to speech making in Mary
land, speaking in succession in Rockville.
Frederick, Bruceville, Union Bridge.
New Windsor, Glyndon and in this city
last evening. The Rockville meeting was
the only one of the day that was not
marred by rain. On account of the
downpour most of the meetings were cut
short but the crowds in each case re-
mained until Mr.. Bryan had conciud-
| ed his remarks.
The greeting extended to Mr.. Bryan
on his arrival here last evening, and
| during the meetings held inside and
| outside of Music hall, was limited In
numbers only by the capacity of the
places in which the meetings were
held, and in enthusiasm only by the
ability Of the immense crowds to give
expression, to 1t.
Mr.. Bryan's first speech was made on
the platform erected outside of Music
hall, and the plaza surrounding the
stand was crowded as far back as Mr..
Bryan's voice could possibly be heard.
He was introduced by Mayor Hayes.
and spoke as follows:
II regret exceedingly that we cannot
get you all into a hall, where I could
| talk to you and discuss at length the
\ issues Of this campaign. but we have
to suit ourselves to circumstances, and
| am here to crafty whatever curiosity
you may have to see presidential can
| didate and to suggestive or three things
| for you to think about at your leisure.
THE lines between the parties are
clearly drawn. You have chance to
| express by your votes your own opinion
upon public questions. If you believe
that private monopoly is blessing to
this country vote the Republican ticket
and you will get all the blessings you
want. (Cheers.)
| "If you believe a private monopoly Is
bad vote our ticket, and all the power
that the executive has will be employed
to make 1t impossible for a single pr-
vate monopoly to exist in the United
States. (Cheers.)
| "If you believe in large army, vote
the Republican ticket and you will get
q large army. We want a small army
| and then want to make the government
l so good that every citizen will be a
! soldier when necessary to preserve the
| government and its blessings to poster
ity. (Cheers.)
IF you believe in the colonial policy
administered by England and now be-
ing administered by the United States,
in Porto Rico and administered in the
Philippine islands, vote the Republican
ticket. But, If you believe in the
Declaration of Independence, vote our
| ticket. Great cheering.)
I'VE are not willing to deny the Fill
pinos the rights which we claim for our
selves, and before you vote to deprive
men in the Philippine islands Of right
and voice in his government, ask your
selves what right you have to partici-
pate in this government If Filipino
has no right to participate In his gov
ernment. (Cheers.)
"Our plan is to deal with the Philip
pine islands as congress dealt with
Cuba. We want to give the Filipinos
government Of independence and pro-
lection from outside interference while
they work out their destiny. (Cheers.)
And If anybody tells you that we cannot
haul down the flag in the Philippine
islands you reply that a Republican
president has promised to haul 1t down
in Cuba, and If a Republican presiden,
can haul 1t down within 200 miles of. ouI
|
it down 1000 miles away. (Cheers.)
'Now. my friends, 1t would be cruelty
l to you for me to detain you here longer
in this rain.'
Cries Of Never mind, go on"
You have your minds already made
, up"
A voice: yes"
Then work from now to election day
to make the majority SO large tina
, money cannot purchase this election
and no intimidation change the result
! prolonged cheering.)
. IF a man threatens to discharge yol
/, because you vote the Democratic ticke
tell him that IL this country Is as pros
porous as Republicans say 1t Is, yo,
ought not to have any trouble gettini
g another job. Gaughter.) And m!
