MONNETT FOR BRYAN /
He Declares Mckinley the
Servant of the Trusts.
The Presidents Promises Violated. He and At
torney General Griggs Have Parayzed
the Arm of the Law.

Columbus, Ohio, Oct IA large aud

Columbus auditorium, add 'essed by lion.
Frank S. Monnett, former Attorney Gem
eral of Ohio. NIr Monrett'3 ,peech was
devoted wholly to trusts and contained
the first public declaration of his inten-
tion to support Mr.. Bryan. Mr. Monnett
reviewed the prosecutions against va
rious trusts, combinations and monopo-
lies which he had undertaken while at
torney general of the State and then he
said:
1--WE nominated a President from Ohio
who promised the people in fair phrases
that he would enforce the antitrust laws
of the United States, inclu1ing the Sher-
man antitrust act. How has he en-
forced it? Attorney General John w
Griggs, has under him seventy-six dis
trict attorneys scattered throughout the
various States of the Union, the duty Of
each and every one of which is to enfor .
this anti-t trust act. According to his off
cial report May 29th. 1900 TO Congress.
out of thirteen suits under this law, three
have been begun under his administra-
ton. This is the magnificent record of
the present national administration. The
trusts utterly failed in defeating the
Sherman Antitrust act; they were COM
pletely routed by the judiciary in the
final test in the Supreme court and they
have now begun the dangerous policy of
paralyzing the executive arm by means
that are so palpable that he who runs
may read, and none but the most skep-
tical can fail to be convinced"
In conclusion Mr.. Monnett said
81 believe that William Mckinley and
John Griggs, his Attorney General and his
executive officers, have wilfully, purpose Q
ly and knowingly paralyzed the executive
arm of this government for the last four
years and prevented the enforcement of
the common law and the statute law,
both criminally and civilly against these
come, the only time we will have for the
next four years as voters to legally and
constitutionally smite them for their
hypocrisy and to resent this violation of
official duty.
William J. Bryan may not accomplish
all that we eXSect or all that we hope
for in this behalf, but believe him to be
thoroughly honest. sincere and a deter
mined man, and while | do not agree with
him in all that he advocates, yet am
forced TO take one side or the other on
this great question which for the masses
is the paramount issue, and in the name
of patriotism and for the sake OF our re-
public, / propose to cast my vote for that
fearless, upright champion of the peo-
pie, William ]. Bryan"

THEY MEET NEXT AT DETROIT.
Brotherhood of St. Andrew Installs Officers of
the Convention.
(By the Associated Press.)

Richmond, Va, Oct 1.-THE Brother
hood of st. Andrew. in the United States,
will hold it's next annual convention in
Detroit in mid-July, unless the executive
council of the body should find it better
that the national assembly should be held
in some other city. The question was
brought up during the session of the
brotherhood today, Philadelphia and De-
troit being the competitors for the honor
OF entertaining the convention.
The convention recommended that the
next meeting be held in Detroit, it being
developed during the discussion that bet
ter results would probably accrue from
a convention in Detroit, where the Broth
erhood is not strong, than in Philadelphia
where it has reached a highly successful
condition.
About 400 persons were in attendance
upon today's session of the convention.
Reports were Submitted on the junior de-
partment, Bible class lessons, work in the
army, and the rule of service. Con-
siderable interest was shown in the last
named report, which recommended that
the reinstatement of the rule of service
be not pressed at this time. This report
was adopted.
The officers of the convention were in
stalled today. They are as follows:
President-William c. Sturgis, of Christ
church, New Haven, Conn.
Vice Presidents-R. A. Robinson of St.
Andrews church, Louisville; Charles S.
Shoemaker, of Trinity church, Pittsburg,
Pa. and B. F. Finney. of Christ church,
Savannah, Ga.
Secretary-Duff Green MAYNARD. of St.
Georges church, New York.
Assistant Secretary-E. l.. Mcdonald,
of St. Andrews church. Louisville. KY,
and ]. c. Wagner, of the Church of the
Nativity, of Philadelphia.
Nearly 1000 men assembled at st. Paul's
church at o'clock this morning to attend
the corporate communion, the celebrant
being Bishop Gibson, of Virginia. The

At Kenton there was a stop of an hour

the platform you need not have any fear
but what it will be carried out if | am

THE SOLDIERS INTERESTS.
They Cannot be Safe Under Government by
Trusts, Says Bryan.
(By the Associated Press.)

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 12.-William J.
Bryan addressed large crowd this after
noon upon the Dayton fair grounds.
Speaking of the claim that the interests
of the soldiers were safest in the care
of the Republican party, Mr.. Bryan said:
The soldier is in more danger if his in
terests are left to the men who stand
at the head of great monopolies than he
is if he leaves his interests to those
who belong to the common people.
would go further than that. l will say
that the welfare of the Union soldier and
his pension are safer in the hands of
a Confederate soldier than in the hands
of a great monopoly, for the Confeder-
ate soldier knows something about the
sacrifices of war, while the heads of
syndicates only know war as an oppor-
tunity for the accumulation of great for
tunes out of the peoples sufferings. But
the Republican insults the soldier when
he assumas-that-a-soldier has no interest
except in the amount of his monthly or
quarterly pension. The soldier is a cit
izen. He was a citizen during the war
when he was willing to risk his life in
his nations defense. If he was willing
to fight to have one republic instead of
two, he will be willing to vote now to
keep that one republic from becoming
an empire. If he was willing to fight
in order to wipe out the Declaration of
Independence an exceptional clause that
excluded the black man, he will be will
ing to vote now to keep another excep-
tional clause from being put into the
declaration excluding the brown man.
The soldier who did not believe that the
black man ought to be sold for a thous-
and dollars will not be in favor of buy
ing Filipinos in a job lot at $3.50
ciece.'
