Bryan tonight addressed an immense audience which occupied all of the 10000 seats located in the grand stand and several thousand additional chairs placed in front of the stands Mir Bryan arrived from Louisville, Ky, at poon and spent the afternoon in re- ceiving large number of callers He was given an enthusiastic reception. In his introductory speech, Mayor Dempsy went over various features in local political conditions. speaking Of the investigation by a State Senate committee last spring and the develops ments following it.
 Mir. Bryan returned thanks for the great crowd. the grand reception and for the kindly commentators given him by the Mayor in his Introduction. He claimed no credit for the fact that principles which he advocated had grown more popular. for he never had thought he stood alone in the advocacy of Democratic principles.
 ''The Democratic Idea is larger than this republic. There is no nation which have visited in which there are Ioe the seeds of Democracy, and in them all Democracy is growing. The man who puts country above self. Is the ra- former.
 Thanks Mir. Burton.

He asked why the Repub~ lican Party had not followed the aek- clement of the miners strike with d proper arbitration law. Enforcement Of the laws against the trusts, Mir. Bryan said, was being undertaken by the President but 1t was not because the Republicans asked it." He had himself said ten years ago. that the big trust criminals should be put in the peniten- tiary. The Republican leaders had amended the commandment, he said. to make it read Thou shalt not steals on a small scale"
