Mr.. Bryan also had excellent audiences
at Woonsocket and Huron, speaking at
the former place thirty MINUTES and at the
latter almost an hour
AT Woonsocket he devoted some attcu-
ton to the railways and to the interstats
commerce law, declaring that republicans
were opposed to amending 1t SO as TO make
II effective. The people at Huron seemed
disposed to ask questions and Mr.. Bryan
announced that he would reply to all pei
sons who would give their names ald
their politics. He responded to questions
about remedies for the trusts and thea
some one asked about the ice trust To
this question Mr.. Bryan replied. The
ice trust IS lew York and not National
affair, and the New York people can take
care OF II, but the governor OF New YORK,
instead OF correcting the ice trust, comes
out West to make speeches. BIT | want
to go little farther. Every director of
the trust is a republican and yet you peo-
pie do not even attempt to destroy a rs-
publican trust"
Some one asked: why did Teddy get
rotten-egged in Colorado?"
Mr.. Bryan replied: ASK those who d
IT. | might suggest to you that when they
threw rotten eggs at me In Chicago, no
republican found fault with Il; but, my
trends, l am going to DO better than the
republicans. | am going to find fault with

at Elk Point and his FIRST speech of length

he made long addresses In the towns of
Scott and Mitchell. Woonsocket, Huron,
Redneld and Aberdeen. The crowds were
good at all the places at which the party
stopped and especially so at this point
and Mitchell. At Yankton the audience
was not so large as 1t would have been
but for misunderstanding as to the time
che place was to be reached.
A feature noticeable At all OF the meet
ings today was the number Of flags dis
played. They were small in size, but they
wore carried by almost everyone at each
stopping place In the state.
Al Redheld Mr., Bryan spoke for half
an hour, dwelling especially1on trusts and
the Importance OF preserving the Ameri-
can form Of government in It's purity.
Mr., Bryan was met at the depot here
BY number of nambeau clubs, probably
comprising 500 or 1000 torches. There were
also a number of bands in the procession
and many OF the clubs carried banners
bearing Significant notices. The crowd
was one OF immense proportions and was
full of enthusiasm from the beginning OF
the march to the close OF the speech.
Mr.. Bryan began by saying that he knew
that the demonstration was NOT for him
personally, but for the cause he repre-.
scented, He took strong grounds for tho
election Of United States senators by tho
direct vote of the people and prom 5 d that
If elected the next four years would see
tho enactment OF laws 70 that end. Con-
trasting the democratic and republican
parties. Mr.. Bryan attacked the policies OF
the republican party which, he declared,
stands for financial. industrial and pollli-
cal despotsm and for the whole trust
family.
"If," he continued, 1.-THE head of the
Standard Oil trust insists upon voting
republican ticket can't you take the HUT
and see that you should vote in opposition
to it?"
Mr.. Bryan attacked the per capita doc
tripe OF money, saying that It was very
delusive, because of the fact that The
wealth OF the country is so uneyenly d-
vided. He sad that It was time that the
plain people of the republican party should
begin TO consider their own interests and
cease to support the party which is at
lacking those interests.
In response to an inquiry from the
crowd, MIR Bryan said that in dealing w'th
the Philippine question he would not al
ticipate the possibility of a congress n
in sympathy with himself in case of his
election In that event he was quite GER
tain friendly congress would also be
elected. AT any rate" no said ~
