BRYAN'S SPEECH
At RALEIGH, n. C.
Secretary Shaw Turned Inside
Out for His Recent Stand
Pat Efforts.
COMPLIMENT FOR TILLMAN
DUAL OWNERSHIP OF THE RAIL
ROADS.

! Raleigh, N. c.. Sept. Nv j. Bryan
arrived here today and made the first
Of eleven speeches scheduled for this
state. A large crowd heard him.
At the outset of his speech, Mr.. Bry-
an said that North Carolina had a pc
culiar claim upon his affections, as ii
was one Of the first states in the Union
to declare through its delegates that
| it wanted him for the Democratic NOM
nation for 1908. It was not difficult
he said, to locate the original Bryan
man. In this connection he promised
that in any future campaign the peo-
pie Of this state could always call upon
him.
Mr.. Bryan said he was doubtful in
coming south II he could use his time
to better advantage. and added that
his coming was made still less neces-
sary from the fact that Secretary Shaw
had been here before. Taking up Sec
rotary Shaw's Asheville speech, Mr..
Bryan said he felt grateful to him for
the service he had rendered the Demo-
cratic party, but he had not paid no
tice to high compliment.
Second Hand Shaw.
Secretary Shaw, he declared, had
tried to palm off in this state some sec
ond-hand clothing he could not get rid
of in Iowa. He had brought speech
which had been rejected in his own
state. He declared that Secretary
Shaw is the high priest OF the stand
patters, that he goes beyond every
other Republican in thinking that the
/ Republican party has done everything
necessary.
Secretary Shaw" he said. has not a
word in favor of any modification of
| the tariff schedule, while in other states
New England states and Iowa-con-
spicuOus Republicans are demanding it
and even Mckinley had reached a point
where he saw something might be done
to extend our trade"
ShaW's Dilemma.
Mr.. Bryan said: You can't take Mr..
Shaw's argument as true without be-
| lieving that these protected manufac-
turers got money out OF the American
people and then get 1t again out OF the
foreigners afterwards"
On the question of Democratic planks
advocated by Republicans, Mr.. Bryan
said that whenever Republican
| speaks OF anything with praise and re-
| joicing he is speaking Of something
done in accordance with the Democratic
doctrine. When he apologies he is
talking about some purely Republican
doctrine. Everything the Republicans
| say on the tariff, he added. is in the
way Of apology.
The God of War.
! AS TO President Roosevelt as a war
Il rim. Mr. 10 hof
! Governor Black, In nominating the
| president, delivered a eulogy on war
! saying the country needed a man OF
! blood and iron. AT the st. Louis con-
vention," SAID Mr.. Bryan, II quoted
this and said il was a challenge &c
| Christian civilization. Now is not II
strange that within two years the man
who was then called the god of war has
won his greatest victory and laid the
foundation for his greatest glory as q
maker of peace between Russia and
Japan"
Trusts and Horse Thieves.
Coming to the question of trusts, Mr.
| Bryan said that you don't enioin
horse thieves, but put them in the pen
itentiaIy. But trust magnates must be
just asked to desist before the uproar
becomes too great. They found that
did not go and they said we will actu-
ally fine you $1,000 when you can make
100000 during the trial. We say treat
rich and poor alike. Talk about an
archists. the Republican party has
made more anarchists I'm this country
! by discriminating I'm the punishment
! of the rich and the poor than were
ever made by all the speeches on an
archy put together
! Mr.. Bryan said that the present rate
| bill could not have been passed with
out the help of the Democrats. and that
great Democrat. Tillman, was nut In
charge of il, although he believed they
gave it to Tillman because they
| thought it would make Mr.. Roosevelt
mad, and the bill was not as good as II
would have been if they had let other
| Democrats amend it, and it was net
ter than it would have been if they had
| not let some Democrats amend it.
Government Ownership.
! In this connection Mr.. Bryan came
\ 10 speak of his own idea as a govern
ment ownership of railroads. He said
Because 1 have stated that il is GO
| ing to be impossible to get relief from
! this rate law on account of the cor
rupting influence of railroads, 1 am
! jumped on by all the newspapers that
| failed TO support me heretofore and by
i people who thought I had changed and
| began to yield to the influences OF pred
atory wealth
President Roosevelt himself in two
messages said that If this law were not
effective we could expect public own
ership TO come, and that Il did not Gre
ate any commotion in the country !
merely went step further and said
that from my observations / did not
believe IL would be effective.
Dual Plan Democratic.
IF any North Carolina Democrat
does not believe that corrupting infiu-
ences will make this law Ineffective
read your own platform. There is not
state in the south that has not felt
the corrupting influences of railroads in
