Toledo This Morning
Dunkirk, N. Y, October 30.-W. ].
Bryan concluded the final day Of his
last campaign tour in this city tonight.
He began the day at the town of Ad-
Olson, and spoke at a number Of places
all Of which are in the southwestern
part of h state. and have been strong
ly republican in policies. The meet
ings Of the day were generally well
attended. and some of them quite en-
thusiastic. Mr.. Bryan left late tonight
on the Lake Shore railroad for Ohio,
expecting to begin a one day tour of
that state with a speech at Toledo to-
morrow morning at IL o'clock. All told,
he had made about ITO speeches in his
state.
Before leaving here tonight. Mr.. Bry-
an made a PREF statement giving his
impression of the situation in New
York. He said:
IF the reports which come from the
various counties where polls have been
made a be taken as representing the
general sentiment throughout the
state, we a more han an even
chance of carrying the state"
Hornellsville, N. Y, October 30-Mr.
Bryan began his last day of the New
York campaign tour at the town of
Addison, a few miles east of this place.
He made a five minute speech there
from the rear platform Of the Rambler
a few minutes before 8 o'clock, and,
Notwithstanding quite a heavy rain

big crowd present to greet him and to
bid him God speed as he left for the
west.
Mr.. Bryan entered his coach at Jer-
sey City just about midnight. Arduous
as had been his duties yesterday, his
rest was not unbroken during the
night. He had received a request be-
fore leaving New York to make a stop
at Port Jervis and had reluctantly
consented to DO so. When the train ar
rived the town in the vicinity Of the
railroad station seemed ablaze with
Roman candles, sky rockets, and Greek
fire. People were yelling and hooting
like Indians and displaying banners
and shouting: w won't go home till
morning" and "We'1 hold up the train
till day light"
Mr.. Bryan dressed himself in a few
minutes and, going to the rear plat
form, attempted to make a speech.
The people Were, however, SO full OF
enthusiasm that it was difficult for
him to find opportunity to proceed. In
the crowd were many women and some
of them held babies in their arms. MI.
Bryan'S talk was broken by SO many
cheers and SO much noise that he only
attempted to say that he found them
so enthusiastic that he did not feel
it was necessary to make them a
speech, even if he gould do so under
raOra prnnSfsor1C 0C IL n C1y
ed them to stand by their convictions
and not to allow themselves to be
swerved by either bride or threat.
Soon after day light, Mr.. Bryan'S
train passed through Elmira, where
Governor Roosevelt's train was tied up
preparatory to beginning his days
| work. Mr.. Bryan was sound asleep at
the time and there was no exchange
of courtesies between the rival candi-
dates. 1t this point Mr.. Bryan elabo-
| rated the theory advanced by him yes
terday to the effect that the republi-
| cans had already abandoned their prin-
cipal campaign argument, which was
the full dinner pail. Starting with the
proposition that the republican plat
form was largely devoted to the sub
ject of prosperity he said:
Compare the space devoted to con-
graduation with the space devoted
to all other questions and you will find
that the republicans expected to make
the issue on the grand prosperity ar,
gument. The full dinner pail is full OF
holes; the full dinner pail is the mos
completely beaten up emblem that any
party ever had. Why is it that tn
dinner pail is referred to more by dem
ocratic speakers than it is by republi
can speakers? If a republican at
tempts to refer to the dinner pail now
they ask him: How about the anthra
l ito anal ~s0n MT MI
that the laboring man today is receiv
ing his fair share of the wealth h
produces or his air share of the pro
lection Of government"
Mr.. Bryan's speech at Andover wa
addressed almost entirely to the Ques
ton of intimidation of laboring mel
On this subject he said in part:
LAS election day approaches we hea
of efforts ito intimidate men who wor
for others. IT is then that the employs
of labor begins to use language whic
is calculated to intimidate the men VIII
are working for him Some times me
are asked by the employer to go OIL
and march in a parade. and they kno
tina if they refuse to go they separa'
themselves from those who do go, ar
run the risk Of discharge in case ar
one is discharged. I put it on tn
ground, that if an employer is entitle
= to the votes of his employees, then II
employer ought to be allowed to {
the voting for the employees. for if
is entitled to the votes of the employe
certainly we ought to arrange it
q that none of them can get away fro
S him, and If you let the empEoye vo
v himself, he may not always vote as h
employer wants. Therefore, l am
favor of a law hat will either let {
o employer vote the votes of the er
e ployes or else make h employer y
the employees alone and let the emplo
y vote his own vote"
