BRYAN'S TRIUMPHANT
 TOUR OF NEW JERSEY
Democratic Candidate Given Great OVation--Fifteen Speeches
 Was Days Record

Jersey City, N. J., October 2.-The first day of MT. Bryan's tour of New Jersey, which closed here with six meetings to- night, may be described as mad rush. From the time he entered Washington Park, opposite Philadelphia until he closed hls last meeting here, MT. Bryan made fif- teen speeches, the average of their dura- tion being greater than usual. He spoke in succession at Washington Park, Riverside, Burlington, Trenton, Princeton Junction, .,ew Brunswick, Elizabeth, Martion and Jersey City (six times). His journey through the State was a surprise to those accom- panying Mr. Bryan, if not to him, for in few States, if any, has he had larger or more demonstrative audiences. His meet ing at Washington Park was almost rec ord-breaker in both of these respects, and his meetings in Trenton and his reception in this city was only second to the Wash ington Park meeting in numbers and feel ing displayed.
 Probably no candidate for the Presidency was ever so much jostled about and pushed around in one days time MT. Bryan was today. At most stopping places the police found 1t impossible to protect him from
  of persons who thronged his pathway and followed him wherever he went.
 T have addressed great meetings of col lege boys, but I never had nicer meeting than this in my life" This was what MT. Bryan said to a number of Princeton ~ol- lege boys, who had followed him to his train from his meeting place at Princeton Junction this afternoon. He arrived at the junction at 5:30 and spoke from d slightly raised stand on the green in the rear of the railroad station. Included in the audience were from 1000 to 1500 of the students of the Princeton College, which institution is located three miles distant from the juno tion. The meeting was one of the most or derly that MT. Bryan has had in his whole campaign tour. There was not an inter- ruption from beginning to end When MT. Bryan arrived he was greeted with the col lege yell, and there were similar demon strations made upon his departure His address there was entirely tc .@- students.
 Introduced AS -SexG Fl esident
 MT. Bryan was introduced as the next President. Replying to it he said:
 You are not compelled to believe all that a presiding officer says. You are not com 
 or as even a possibility, but want you to believe in all the things for the good of our country and l am mistaken in my judg ment of you if you will give me credit that I shall give you-though l know many of you differ from me-the credit of trying to find what is right and of doing what I believe to be right, regardless of the tenn porary consequences that may follow. A Senator once said, who saves his country saves himself, and all things saved do bless him; who lets his country die lets all things die and dies himself ignobly, and all things dying curse him..
 "I am not going to present to these Re- publican students my ideas in my own words. I want, rather to leave with them ideas presented by others in whom they have confidence and whom they have learn ed in the past to respect. 1 want to quote what. Daniel Webster has said in regard to the effect of the unusual distribution of wealth such we find in this country to- day, such we find in camp from year to year, and when you boys go out to make your impression upon the politics of the country I want you to remember what Webster said, and whether you can find a good reason for differing from him.
 "'The freest government cannot long en- dure where the tendency of the law is to create a rapid accumulation of property in the hands of a few and to render the masses of the people poorer and depend ent.' I want you to consider that in this nation is monopoly, and that it is rapidly approaching an industrial despot.sm; I want you to consider whether 1t is we'll for free government to have its industries collected under the management of few men, so that the rest of tho people will re-
