Justify, and then demanded a hand
shake. Mr.. Bryan grasped as many
outstretched hands as he could reach,
and then told the crowd to hold up
their hands and that he would shake
with them all at once. A thousand
names went up, and Mr.. Bryan waved
his hand to them.
At East st. Louis Mr.. Bryan's daugh-
ter, Miss Ruth, who is attending school
near there, Joined him and went to AL
ton with him.
That particular portion of Illinois
known as Egypt was pretty thor
oughly canvaSsed by William j. Bryan
today. The principal cities of eleven
Of the southern counties OF the state
and three of the congressional districts
were visited and large audiences ad-
dressed at the various stopping places.
Fourteen addresses were made from
O'Clock in the morning, when the first
speech at Salem was delivered. until
the train carrying Mr.. Bryan and his
party pulled out OF Alton at nearly
midnight.
Southern Illinois was intensely en-
thusiastic. At every meeting the can
! didate was greeted with hearty demon
STATIONS of affection, and his remarks
were applauded and cheered every
where At one place there was a dis
position on the part of few boys to
cheer his opponent, but there were no
attempts to interfere with his remarks
being heard.
At East st. Louis Mr.. Bryan and
Governor Roosevelt crossed each other.
/ AS Governor Roosevelt had a meeting
! there, Mr.. Bryan passed through and
/ went on to Alton.
Speaks at Old Home.
Mr.. Bryan began the week with a
! speech at Salem, Ill, his old home, and
was given warm reception. He talked
about an hour near the court house
in which his father had held court
/ from 1860 to 1872, and in which he him
self had made his first political speech
/ twenty years ago Mr.. Bryan was in
.-oduced by Judge William Prentiss of
| Chicago. and among other things said:
/ If the election were held today there
/ is nc doubt we would have a majority
| in the electoral college and on the pop
1 uIar vote.
But the Republican managers are
| now collecting from the mOnopOlies a
| large campaign fund They will buy
| every vote that can be bought. They
! will cOerce every vote that can be CO.
| creed They will intimidate every la
! boring man who can be intimidated.
| They will bride every election judge
that can be bribed. They will corrupt
! every count that can be corrupted. I
/ don't understand how it is possible for
the plain everyday Republican to close
| his eyes to what is going on, when he
/ knows that if he aids these influences
to carry the election at this time, the
! same means can be employed to carry
! other elections when those who are
supporting the Republican ticket to-
day will be opposed to the Republican
! ticket"
E1Safe in the Arms of Hanna"
The whole south of Egypt was well
| represented in Cairo. Mr.. Bryan said
| there:
More trusts have been organized
during the last three and one-half years
| than in all the previous history of the
| country, and Mr.. Hanna, the dominat-
ing factor in the Republican party, has
| given us three definitions of the trusts.
He says that in the first place there
| are no trusts: then he says that the
| trust is a good thing, and then he says;
| Do not be afraid of the trusts; if they
| are injurious, we viii take care OF
| them What a consolation il is to be
| a Republican and not have to think,
| but Just to feel that you are safe in
the arms of Hanna
| Il believe that you will have to de-
stroy the trusts, or they will destroy
the country"
How Trusts Tax Churches.
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust ques-
ton. He said, in part:
II want to call your attention to a
