STILL HARPS ON TRUSTS

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, October 5-W. j.
Bryan began his days campaign at Mobiles
vile, Ind. He arrived at o'clock and
spoke from a stand near the depot for fif-
teen minutes. His audience was large and
liberal with its applause. Mr.. Bryan rapidly
traced the democratic position on all the
issues of the campaign. He said that the
duty of the nation is determined by the peo-
pie, and that If each man will do his full
duty conscientously next November the
country's duty in the present emergency
will be properly indicated. He then referred
to the money question, saying that If any
republican should assert that the money
question is more important than Imperialism
democrats should reply that important as
are the finances, they are only secondary
when compared with the question of the
form of government.
Finds Fault With Republicans.
Instead of concerning themselves about
the parity of citizenship the republicans
had insisted upon discussing the parity or
the dollars He again accused the republi-
can party of not knowing of any trust ex-
cept the ice trust, and said that instead
they should give some attention to the
Standard Oil trust, which, he said, iS sup
porting their ticket, while you are paying
an increased price for OIL
In conclusion he asserted that because OF
party prejudces the republicans dare not
raise their voices against anything for
which the party is responsible.
At Arcadia ten-minute talk made.
AT Upton Mr.. Bryan was introduced by
]. w. Kern, democratic candidate for gov
ernor, who presented him as the next
President"
Mr.. Bryan said in response:
Proud of the Compliment.
81 am glad to be introduced to you by
the next governor of Indiana, for whatever
+
do not think there is much doubt about In
diana. Mr.. Kern only has Indiana to fight
for, while have forty-four other states"
Mr.. Bryan discussed the trust question,
and said the republicans gained power in
1896 by trust contributions. THE repub-
lican party needs more money now than IL
did" he said, ''and Ii could not get il If il
did not stand with the trusts"
Explaining the difference between expan-
sion and imperialism" Mr.. Bryan said:
I'VE expand when we take in land for
settlement to be built up into states; We eX-
pand when we take in people who want 10
cCme In and whom We want. We believe
that expansion is like marriage, both sides
ought to agree to it, We do not believe in
expansion carried on with an army; we do
not believe In bringing people In by force
and then denying them the right of full
citizenship. You will hear republicans say
that the war with the Filipinos is similar
to the civil war. There Is this difference:
That when the south was held in the Union
they were to be citizens and not subjects
when the war was over. You want to bring
the Filipinos in and make them subjects
and not citizens We fought then for the
adoption of a constitutional amendment
that provided that no man could own a
slave and yet before the Philippine war is
ended we have the Sulu treaty, which rec
ognizes slavery"
Elwood was the next stop. The audience
covered an immense plat of ground near the
depot, and Mr.. Bryan gave practically all
of the thirty minutes speech to the trust
question. He declared that no employer
has right to vote his employe.
