ST. LOUIS MO, Sept. 11.-A ire
mcndous ovation was rendered Will

the Coliseum here tonight. When he
stepped upon the platform, the spec.
tators arose, waved flags and shouted.
The ovation continued four minutes.
Mr.. Bryan said in part:
Il want to show you it is better TO
trust Democratic principles to tho
Democratic party than to trust them
to the one man whose party denounc.
es him for following them. | want
to remind you that the most popular
act of Mr.. Rooscvelt's administration
was his bringing peace between two
nations. He settled the coal strike
after loss of $99,O0OO00 to employ
ers, employees and the public 1t was
grand act. applauded him for it.
But where did he get the doctriiy,,
In the Republican platform? No, he
got 1t from the Democratic platform
and wrote the plank myself.
IF the President can become the
only popular man in the Republican
party because he does something
systematically along Democratic lines
what would be the popularity of the
man who does something and has al
ways been Democrat? Where did
Mr.. Roosevelt find his mandate for
his action regarding tho rate bill? He
had to go to the Democratic platform.
the law was suggested by the Demo.
cratic party.
THE President has now been In
office almost five years. How many
trust masnatcs are in the peniten.
tiary? We have great many trusts
III this country violating the law. I
ask you to figure out on the basis Of
the number of trust magnatcs i'm.

SOCIAL DEMOCRAT
WANTS TO Be MAYOR
WILLIAM A. ARNOLD, A UNION
PRINTER MAY BE THE NEXT
MAYOR OF MILWAUKEE.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Milwaukee, Wis, April 3.-The
early vote cast in todays municipal
election was unusually large and evil
denced the feverish interest taken in
the mayoralty contest by all classes
of citizens. Claims of victory ema-
nate from each party, but to the un-
biased onlooker the contest appears
very close and the result doubtful
until the polls are closed and the bal
lots counted
In the early stage of the campaign
the chief issue appeared to be wheth-
er Mayor Rose was to have a. sixth
term. He had been reelected so
often and so easily that his re-elec-
ton had come TO be regarded as a
matter of course. But this year he
had to combat very strenuously
for the denomination, there being
powerful faction in his own party OPP
posed to him. At the primaries he
succeeded in winning out against
Bruce, his rival aspirant for the Dem
ocratic mayoralty nomination This
left him to contest for the office with
the Republican candidate, Sherbum
NJ. Becker.
But the primaries had scarcely
been concluded when it became APP
parent that the situation was entirely
different from the original calcula-
ton. Instead of being a fight be-
tween the Democrats and kepubli-
cans it became evident that the con
test was to be a war of the two
older parties against the Social Dem
ocrats.
William A. Arnold, the Social Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor, is
union printer, and has behind him a
force of 5000 paying members of the
Social Democratic organization. The
Socialists declare that they can cast
three votes for every member who
pays dues, and if their claim is true
Arnold is as good as elected. The
old parties declare that the estimate
of the strength of the Social Demo
Gratis is erroroneous, but at the same
time it is generally admitted that
when the votes are counted Arnold
will not be found last on the list
Should he be victorious Milwaukee
viii have the distinction of Being the
first city of large size in the United
States TO have a Socialist mayor
