KENTON, OHIO, October 12.-It had
not been the intention OF the Ohio Safe
Democratic Committee that Mr.. Bryan
should begin the speech-making feature of
his OHIO tour until the town of Bowling
Green should be reached. This plan was,
however interfered with to slight extent
by the demands of a number of people
who gathered about Mr.. Bryan's car in
the Toledo depot before the train pulled
out from that point.
The next speech was made at Bowling
Green, twenty miles out, and the third
at F'indlay, the centre Of the Ohio gas
belt.
Mr.. Bryan announced during the break
fast hour that Mrs. Bryan would join him
on the 9th instant in New York, and re-
main with him thereafter until the close
of the campaign. He said that after leav-
ing New York, and making the tour OF
West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and
New Jersey, he would again return to the
Empire State, and probably make several
speeches on the occasion OF this second
visit
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.
At Bowling Green Mr.. Bryan especially
urged the Importance of electins a Demo-
cratic House Of Representatives.
A fine audience greeted Mr.. Bryan upon
his arrival at Findlay a $50, and he made
a speech Of five minutes al that place. He
said, in part:
russ.Dy i is not necessary TO speak
long on the trust question, for people learn
more by experience than they do by
speeches. and a speech can only point out
the lessons OF experience. 1t used to be
if mill closed down under the Democratic
administration, every Republican paper and
editor pointed to the mill and to its
smolzeless ctllmneys as an evidence that
Democratic policies were destroying the
industries of the country. But now when
a trust buys a plant and closes it down
no Republican says a word about 1t.
You will find that the trust will close
more mills than any policy that any other
party ever stood for
BRYAN AT KENTON.
At kantop there was stop of an hour,
and the meeting was held in front of a
hotel in the Immediate vicinity of the
depot The crowd was large and attentive.
Mr. Bryan said:
You know my platform, and yof know
whether you like it or not. If you like the
platform YOU need not have any fear but
what it will be carried out if I am elected.
believe that even the Republicans now
will give me credit for meaning what
say. In fact. the greatest argument now
used against my election IS that I am ar
honest man and, therefore, dangerous.
This argument cannot be brought against
many Republicans whom I mention"
