tion. He took up the full dinner pail
argument in this way:
'The republican party is fghing it's
campaign on the lowest plane that
any party ever pitched a battle. IA
voice: ''You bet!'') Think of making
a campaign on "full dinner pail. 8
Think of having no argument but one
that appeals to the stomach. Is the
laboring man all stomach? Has he
no head? (Applause.) And yet
that full dinner pail is the republican
argument. You ask the republicans
why they have not destroyed govern
ment by injunction and they say they

have given the laboring man a full
dinner pail, and that be ought not to
care about government by injunction.
Ask why they have not established
arbitration to settle differences be-
tween labor and capital, and they say
they have given him a full dinner pail
and he ought not to worry about ar
bitration. No matter what argument
you make the reply is, ''the full din
ner pail" Why, my friends, it is
the hog that squeals when it is hun
cry and goes to sleep when it is fed
it is not the laboring man. (Ap-
plause. You cannot catch an ami
NAL without some food in his trap.
Do you suppose a laboring man
could be enticed into militarism and
Imperialism by putting a full dinner
pail in the trap aud leading him in?
Voice: mo, no!")
mo, my friends, the laboring man
in this country wants more than a full
stomach. He wants shorter hours.
He wants chance to be with his fam
lily. He wants chance to educate
his children; he wants to give them a
start in life that will make them more
than hewers of wood and haulers of
water. (hpplause. Is the farmer
satisfied when you tell him that the
republican party has brought him a
bountiful crop? Whenever it rains,
the republican party brings the rain.
If there is a drought, it is warming
never to vote anything else but the
republican ticket.
"The republican party has no plan
for helping the laboring man. It has
no plan for helping the farmer. The
republican party could only help the
farmer by giving him larger crop or
higher price. 1t has no plan for
either. It cannot increase the farm
er's crop. It does not hold in it's
hands the showers. And if any man
thinks it does, all he has got to do is
to stop for a moment and reflect, and
then he will see that if the publican
party had controlled the rainfall,
there would be a monopoly on water,
and you would have to buy every
shower you got. (Applause. 1t has
monopolized everything that it could
monopolize.
tuesday Morning.
At $50 o'clock Tuesday morning
the Bryan train steamed out from the
Union depot at Minneapolis for the
days trip through southern Mime
sofa. During the night some evil
minded persons had cut off the decor
ations on one side of the train,
and when it was discovered it was too
late to remedy the defect. During the
day Bryan did six hours of solid
speech-making, and magnificent crowds
gathered at each stopping place.
Speeches were made at the follow
ing places: Shakopee, Jordan, Belle
Plaine, Henderson, LIE Sueur, St. Pc
ter, Mankato, Janesville, Waseca,
Owatonna, Dodge Center, Kasson,
Rochester, St. Charles and Winona.
The first stop was made at Shake
pee at eight O'Clock, and Bryan gave
the crowd that had assembled a talk
on Imperialism.
''There are,'' he said, "new ques-
tions in this campaign caused by the
Administrations actions. This Phil
ippine ambition reminds me of dog
running after train. Somebody
asked if he caught it what would he
do with it? If we get the Philippines
what will we do with them?''
At Jordan a large number of rigs
from the country showing the condi'
tion of the roads, were drawn up near
the crowd. Speaking of the tendency
to punish small thieves and letting
large ones escape, Bryan said:
"If a man steals a horse they hunt
him with bloodhounds, and if he con-
spires against seventy million people
they give him a banquet"
At Belle Plaine were many schoo
children with their books, and one
pretty little lass handed Mr.. Bryan q
large bouquet of flowers. The sight
of the children gave Bryan occasion
to compare the amount of money
spent in the United States for educa
tiou with that now being spent fo1
warlike purposes, and found that tht
latter exceeded the former.
At LIE Sueur the meeting was helt
about bic OK from the depot. Severa
thousand people had gathered to gree

received. Bryan discussed the finan
cial issue briefly and told of th'
trouble a banker in Nebraska hat
had with certain Ole Olson.
