Milwaukee. Wis. sept. S.-Wiiliam J.
Bryan made record breaking railroad run
from Chicago TO Milwaukee to-day 60 open
the Democrats national campaign in Wis
cousin. Nincty-siN minutes after the
candidates special train left Chicago Col.
Bryan was bowling to a crowd which met
him at the depot here
AZ che National Park he addressed a
large crowd HE said IN opening.
The Republican party IL not prepared
70 defend its position before tho coun-
try. The leaders talk about the money
question. still they are no better TO defend
the Republican position on the money
question than they are on other questions.
The only reason they prefer to talk abou,
the money question j. that when they talk
ON that question they can use old argu-
mcnts, and when they talk on che trusts
and Imperialism, they cannot use any ar
guments." (Applause)
The Republican party had put itself
on record In the himetailic International
commission and IN the financial law AZ
IN favor Of both metals. he said he crit
icised the Republicans for not standing
fast on the money question. ana added
thas. now the Republicans say the main
tenance OF the sold standard is the para
nouns question. II there h. any man here
who believes that any financial system is
more important than the form OF govern
ment under which he lives. than he can
agree with the Republican party.
Arguments for the German.
Il want TO show you the Kind Of argu-
men, that the Republican party has made
to the German who. you all know - op-
posed to mi.itarism. The German says
don't want a large army. The Repub-
lican party leaders slap him on the back
ana say never mind about your army Just
50 as YOU have "a sold dollar In your
pocket. uaughter) The German says. I
don't believe In a system that takes the
best wears OF a young mans lie and de-
votes them toan army and the Republican
leader says. never mind your boy so
long as you have a gold dollar IN your
pocket The German says ! came 10 this
country because ] believe IN liberty.
came here because I believe that the peo-
pie are the source Of power. / am here
because / want the individual TO have his
rights respected and his participation In
the government protected. and the Re
publican leader says: Never mind your
liberty. never mind aelf-government, new
er mind anything but the dollar
u.aughter)
II a isboring man says that he does not
Ike the menace Of a large army; n he
says that he does not like imperialism
what IL tho RI publican party 90 him? The
fun dinner pail argument Is an insult 90
the man who Is complaining that there
are forces az work which mean his de-
siruction and the overthrow Of the gov
eminent he loves. But the dinner pail II
not always full. (Laughter).
Wages and Trusts.
Mr.. Bryan cited a number OF instances
from trade reports. etc OF reduced wages
and added that even = the Republican
party was responi .e for ''Everythlng
that has happened that gave any benefit
to those who worked for wages. the RE
publican parry has OFFSET also the benefits
that the iahoring man has received hy
allowing trusts 10 extort from him when
he comes 90 buy what he has 20 buy
(Applause)
The supreme question" said Mr..
Bryan. for this hour iH whether the ma
ton shall enter upon the doctrine OF force
ana conquest or stand upon American
ground and recognize the right OF these
people 60 govern themselves as well as the
right Of our people "a govern themselves"
