MARYLAND HIS NATIVE STATE.
Davis Talk at Rockville-A Drive at
Roosevelt.

BY Associated Press.
BRUNSWICK, Md, October 1.-THE Da-
Wis special ain was joined at Washington
by an escort representing the five demo-
cratic clubs of the District of Columbia,
who occupied a special car, and were ac-
companied by a band. The party was
headed by National Committeeman Norris,
and accompanied the special to Brunswick.
At Rockville Mr.. Davis, ex-senator Hill
and Senator Daniel made speeches. A plat
form had been erected beside the station,
and an enthusiastic crowd cheered through
out the speeches, although rain began fall
ing as the train arrived.
Mr.. Davis briefly claimed Maryland as his
native state. Speaking of his nomination,
he said: Il mad no more to do with it than
you" Turning to Mr.. Hill, he continued:
Il was selected by this distinguished friend,
and 1 suppose 1 owe him a great deal for
the trouble he has got me into
Senator Daniel told how Mr.. Davis left
Maryland fifty years ago as the conductor
of freight train. Now he is conducting
another train, made up at ST Louis and is
heading with full steam on to Washington.
There is a seat for every good democrat on
that train, and Mr.. Davis invites you all to
ride.
But what will be the result if the repub-
ican party should succeed?' asked Senator
Daniel. You would have elected the Presi-
dent of the United States, Emperor of the
Philippine Islands, King of Porto Rico,
Suzerain of Guam Monarch of Hawaii and
the Great Panjandrum, with little round
button on the top
Ex-senator Hill confined himself to a
brief discussion of the tariff, saying that
on this important issue the democratic par
ty stood where it had always stood. for a
tariff for revenue only

BRYAN be good?" That is what Indiana
democratic managers are asking them
selves, because. If he is not good-speak-
ing from their standpoint-his Indiana tour.
which will begin tomorrow, will be a fail
ure. =G ~
Indiana democratic leaders-and this in
cludes National Chairman Taggart-are
said to be secretly considerably disturbed
lest Mr.. Bryan should say things in his In
diana speeches that wiz widen instead of
heal the breech betweens disaffected silver
ties and the democratic national ticket.
Bryan's followers In Indiana are prone to
take him for what they believe he means
instead of what he says In this campaign.
and unless he forcibly gives them to under
stand that he Is sincerely for Parker and
Davis and wants the democratic national
ticket elected. his pilgrimage will have dis
astrous effect.
1.-The bringing OF Bry&n to Indiana Is a
piece of downright idiocy," said F. J. Van
Vorhis, who formerly was one of Bryan's
person in 500 thinks that Bryan wants
Parker elected. and he Is not going to do
anything to remove that impression
DR.. Van Vorhis has received the follow
ing letter from prominent Kansas City
man: Il see ME-. Bryan Is doing great
harm to Parker democrats. II he talks in
your state as in Nebraska he will make
your statement true that Indiana will go

correspondent of the Petit Parisien says
that 1t Is unofficially stated that the Rus
