CHICAGO. Nov. 2-william Jennings
Bryan's programme in Chicago to-day COM
pretended twelve speeches. The crowds
that greeted him were greater than those
at the meetings of yesterday and last night.
The candidate began his itinerary at Han
dial Hall, in the downtown business dis
trict, going from there to the Public Ii
brary, where he spoke to outdoor gath
ering Of workingmen. After luncheon he
made two addresses in "Old Vienna pa
vilion, at Sixtieth street and Cottage Grove
avenue, one to the crowd in the building
and the other to the throng that was I'M
able to gain admittance. Here was the
only semblance of disturbance manifested
during the day. Two men in the audience
asked, almost simultaneously, How about
North Carolina?" and Mr.. Bryan was re-
plying when one of the questiopers insisted
on asking a question concerning trusts,
whereupoa the crowd demanded that he be
thrown out and threatened to lynch him.
Mr.. Bryan insisted on answering. however.
but could not do so for some time owing
to the uproar made by the crowd in ex-
pressing its resentment toward the inquisi-
tor. The latter was saved from violence
only by police interference.
Mr.. Bryan's night meetings were held on
the North, West, Southwest and South
sides Of the city, the closing speech being
made at midnight at State and Thirty-frst
streets In his first speech of the day Mr..
Bryan said:
you can always tell single-taxer.
Whether you believe with him or not, 1
think you will all have TO admit that
single-taxer believes in himself and in the
theory that he advocates. The sngle-tax
question is not involved in this campaign,
but, my friends, can understand why
single-taxer should be opposed to the Re-
publican party, for the Republican party
asks the people to do things which they are
opposed to doing. When we advocate an in
come tax We simply insist that the men
who have much shall give much to support
the government, and that men who have
little shall contribute little toward the
support of the government. Our plan is
that the laborer shall labor with hope and
that he may have an opportunity to live.
Take hope out of this world, and this world
is not worth living in. Just to the extent
that you lessen hope, just to that extent do
you make his world a bad world
BRYAN DODGES QUESTIONS.
At Old Vienna, while Mr.. Bryan was in
the midst of a discussion of the trust
question, he was interrupted by a gentle
asked: What about North Carolina?" Mr..
Bryan replied: 1.-The gentleman asks how
about North Carolina. 1 was waiting for
him. My friends, the Republicans are not
meeting the issues. and no Republican
shows his hypocrisy more clearly than
when he talks about North Carolina This
administration has provided qualifications
for voting in Porto Rico, educational quail
fications, and, according to those quaIifica-
tons, as you will find in a government doc
ument issued by this administration on
the 18th day of last August SO per cent.
of the black men of Porto Rico of voting
age are DISTINGUISHED by this administra-
ton. Do you know what percentage are
DISTINGUISHED in North Carolina?"
MIR. Dacy replied: Everyone who does
rot interpret the Constitution"
Mr. Bryan replied: MY friends. If we
had that law in the North and disfran-
chised every Republican who did not know
how to interpret the Constitution. not hale
the Republicans would vote in this coun-
try"
Mr.. Bryans questioner attempted to pro-
coed with his interrogation amid cries of
"Sit down. and Put him out"
Mr.. Bryan tried TO obtain quiet: address,
ing the audience, he said: Now be still;
twenty minutes is not a long time to
speak and a Republican ought to come to
listen and not to interrupt"
Mr. Dacy finally shouted above the noise
and the confusion: May 1 ask one ques-
tion?"
Mr.. Bryan answered him: MY friends.
while ID is not fair for Republican TO
come and take up my time. will be fairer
to him than he is TO me. Ask your ques-
ton" But the audience was in no mood
to listen TO any one but the one they had
come TO hear, and the question remained
unasked. Mr.. Bryan. in his effort to OBJ
tain quiet, said: 81 wish you who are
friendly to me would let me alone. I will
take care of my enemies If my friends will
let me alone
This succeeded in restoring a degree OF
silence that Permitted Mr. Dacy to be
heard. and he said: az consider il a great
honor TO ask you this question. do not
want TO throw myself upon your time. but
