The stop was for only ten minutes. and Mir. Bryan spoke briefly. He took up the sub ject of trusts and warned his hearers against all private monopolies. The trusts, he said. could at any time close down any of the factories under their control and were constantly do- ing so and thus throwing their em- ployes out of work all over the coun- try.
 Mr. Bryan closed with a reference to militarism and imperialism and with an appeal to the American peo- rle to let the Filipinos work out their own destiny.

 Mir. Bryan spoke for five minutes from the rear platform of the Ram bier to a good crowd at Tarrytown, in the course of which he said:
 ''The destiny of this nation de- bends, not upon the leaders, but up on the voters. No president can con vert a republic into an empire with out the consent of the American peo- pie. No president can turn this na- tion over to the despotism of private monopolies without the consent of the people,"
