GR|LLS THE REPUBLICANS
Says He Would Abolish all Private
Monopoies If He was
Elected.

TOLEDO, Ohio, oct. 3l.-Mr. and Mrs
Bryan arrived here this morning from
Dunkirk, n. Y. They were met at tn,
station by Mayor and Mrs. Jones. Mrs
Bryan was accorded a brief reception al
the Mayors residence. Mr.. Bryan spok,
Tor an hour in Armor Park, leaving i'm
medately afterward on his days tour oil
the State.
MIR. Bryan vas introduced by Mayor
Jones and he said he was pleased to be
presented by man to whom duty was a
higher consideration than was any party
Taking up the question of non-partisan-
ship, Mr.. Bryan said that not only were
former Republicans coming over, but the
gold Democrats We're coming back. This,
he SAID. was the natural result of political
conditions and of the Republican party 5
persistent disregard of the rlghts Of the
people at large
Mr.. Bryan gave considerable time to
the plea of prosperity saying:
THE Republican party has failed in
| this campaign and l am going to show
you one proposition after another put
| forth by the Republicans has failed to
meet with a response from the people.
When this campaign opened up the one
cry was that the country was prosperous,
| that the Republican party had made il
so, and that to keep it so the Republican
party must be kept in power. That was
the one plea, and to represent that they
had full dinner pail painted on their
banners. The full dinner pail! II they
wanted to paint that full dinner pail now
as they look they would paint on their
banners the worst battered. the most
beaten and the most shot full of-holes
dinner pail that ever was seen. Let me
tell you why the dinner pail argument
failed. First because not every laboring
man has full dinner pail. They went
on the theory that every ,aboring man
had n full dinner pail. but the anthracite
coal strikers opened the eyes of a great
many people to the fracture of that Re-
publican argument, for down there in the
anthracite coal regions the strike showed
that the men did not get half as much as
they ought to and paid twice as much for
powder as they should | would be will
ing to let this campaign be decided on
the full dinner pail argument, and l
would ask the laboring men who vote yes
CT no on this proposition are you salts
fled with the present conditions and do
you want them continued just as they
are? | would lie perfectly willing to let
the laboring men vote on that proposition,
hut before they vote ] want them to go to
the sweat shops and ask themselves
whether that is prosperity and they want
II continued just as 1t is. 1t is not true
that the laboring men of this country are
receiving their fair share of the weal,n
that they produce. That is one reason
why the full dinner pail argument fails"
Mr.. Bryan then took up the questions
of trusts, declaring that the utterances
Of both President Mckinley and Governor
Roosevelt showed them to be more
interested in protecting what they call
the good trusts than in suppressing the
bad trusts. He said that If times got hard
the corporations would cut down wages
rather than reduce their dividends, He
would make it impossible for private
monopoly to live under the American flag
and If elected President all the power
vested in the Executive would be used to
that end. This sentiment was vigorously
cheered and there We're cries OF "Bravo"' |
Speaking of the standing army Mr. |
Bryan declared that if the Republican |
ticket is elected, there never will be a |
smaller standing national force than at
present.
He declared that the Republicans were
not prepared to defend their foreign pol |
icy, and he gave the following as a re-
sumo of all the Republican speeches on
the Philippine question: I'VE are sorry |
We have the Philippine Islands They |
came to us by accident. We are sorry to |
have them, out we cannot let go of them |
1t looks as If God had sent us there; 1t |
looks as II we We're following the leadings
or a DIVINE power ana besides lnere
money in it,
That. he said, was the gist of all the
Republican speeches on the subject. He
declared that it was neither right nor
wise to coerce the Filipinos and he thank
cd God that he had so firmly linked to-
gether that which is wise ana that which
is right that they cannot be torn asunder.
Asserting that the President was accord
ing the powers conferred by the Consti-
tuition, Mr.. Bryan said: "Our Consttu-
lion created the President and he shall
not outgrow his creator"
DEMOCRATIC VIOLENCE.
CHICAGO, oct. Ex-senator Jones, !
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee speaking Of Croker's sugges-
ton that Democratic voters congregatc |
about the polling places on the evening |
of election day, count noses, and then If
the election returns for Bryan do not tai |
ly with their count, go into the poung |
places ana throw those fellows in charge |
of the returns into the street, said:
81 do not see anything wrong with that |
suggestion.
Senator I'm suggested baseball bat |
az being peculiarly appropriate to render |
Justice TO "A corrupt election Judge. In my |
own opinion the best way Is for Demo- |
Gratis TO be- at the polls when they are |
opened and to remain there In good strong |
relays until the count Is completed. II |

watch the Judges and the count and TO |
