nings Bryan was given warm reception
here today. The streets were lined and the
visitor was cheered continually. He told
his 10000 auditors that he could speak to
them only on time that really belonged to
Jersey City.
But remember that Essex county gave
me majority Of 10000 in 1900; l just had
to come to see you" said he, "and
hoped that by coming here / could help
democrat to be elected to the United States
senate over Senator Dryden and two demo-
Gratis TO be elected to congress"

strength was waning and that the time for
democratic success is not far distant. I'm

table lead over us in 1900" And they'll do
1t again." shouted g man to the right of

Continuing. he said that the republicans
now admit that II a presidential election
were to be held at this time. they have
only one man who could have any chance
of success.
He would have the chance only because |
he has followed the democratic platform" |
said Mr Bryan. Roosevelt has not one |
atom Of popularity that he does not owe |
TO the fact that he differs from the party |
which he leads, and IL Roosevelt can be- |
come as popular as he is by occasionally |
doing something democratic, what would |
be the popularity of a president who al |
ways is a democrat?"
Mr.. Bryan discussed the tariff and the |
trusts. He said that II the tariff is to be |
reformed It must be done by those who |
believe In tarin reform. He declared that |
while he is willing to give republicans credit /
for what they have done toward the regu- |
Iation Of trusts, they have not yet begun
even to scratch the surface of that
scourge."
