BRYAN ON
THE STUMP
Talks To OhiOans on
the Issues.
GR|LLS THE REPUBL| CANS
Says He Would Abolish all Private
MonopOIies if He was
Elected.

Bryan was accorded brief reception at
the Mayors residence. Mr.. Bryan spoke
tor an hour in Armor Park, leaving i'm
medately afterward on his days tour of
the State.
| Mr.. Bryan was introduced by Mayor
Jones and he said he was pleased to be
presented by a 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 were coming back. This,
he said, was the natural result of political
conditions and of the Republican party's
persistent disregard of the rights 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 1 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 1t
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, If 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 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. i would be will
ling to let this campaign be decided on
the full dinner pail argument and
would ask the laboring men who vote yes
or no on this proposition, are you salts
fled with the present conditions and do
you want them continued just as they
are? L would be perfectly willing to let
the laboring men vote on that proposition
but before they vote / want them to go to
the sweat shops and ask themselves
whether that is prosperity and they want
1t continued just as it Is. 1t Is not true
that the laboring men of this country are
receiving their fair share of the wealth
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 a 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 were 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: 1--WE are. sorry
We have the Philippine Islands. They
came to us by accident. We are sorry to
rave them, out we cannot let go of them
/ IL looks as If God had sent us there: II
looks as If we were following the leadines
/ or a Divine power and besides there's
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 and that which
Is rlght that they cannot be torn asunder
Asserting that the President was accord
ing the powers conferred by the Consti-
tuition, Mr. Bryan said: "Our Constitu-
ZION created the President and he shall
not outgrow his creator"
