BRYAN TALKS AT BANQUET.
Compliments Roosevelt and Predicts
Democratic Victory in 1908.

William j. Bryan was the guest of louor
at a dollar banquet. given in New Haven,
Conn, last night. Mr.. Bryan made it an
occasion for indicating TIE reason VIII. the
democratic party was SO overwhelmingly
defeated in"the( last campaign. and also
stated what seemed to him signs of prom
Use for a democratic victory in the next
presidential campaign. 80
Taking away the personal popularity of
Mr.. Roosevelt, in the campaign" said he,
there would be much left in the results
to encourage the democrats For a quar-
ter of century the government has been
drifting farther and farther from the PEG
pie, and boss rule and corruption have
been increasing. But 1t was good sign
that the independent voter asserted him
self in the last election. And | have been
surprised at evidences of help that the
radical element is getting since that cleo
| ton. We have found persons whom we did
not suspect of such a tendency helping
along good democratic ways. When / was
invited recently to speak before the senate
of that corruption ridden Indiana, preach
ed good democratic doctrine on two texts
one taken from the message of the outgoing
republican governor. and the other taken
from the message of the incoming repub-
lican governor And Indiana is one of the
most corrupt states with all due Difference
to the pride you have in your own Connecti-
cut.
Some one here tonight asked me how
lOiStoi couiu i've IN RUSSIA and preach his
doctrine of reform. Perhaps it is because
he could nowhere else find such excellent
ground to- study tyranny and despotism.
Wrong, as it develops, 1t brings its own
remedy. and in this country within the pext
four years VIII come the movement 10 bring
back power to the people. In President
Roosevelt himself there have been symp-
toms of reform that / for one had no sus-
picion of. l scanned his conduct, and did
not believe that reform was to be expected
from him. But since election he has done
several things. First. he announced that he
would not again be a candidate for the
presidency. That gave him independence.
l read in his message his views about pub
LEGATION of campaign contributions. That
will do more than anything else to clean
up campaigning. Then he recommended
more power for the interstate commerce
commission.

itself and to help the President carry out

does not succeed, he will nevertheless help
