BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July A messag ge
from William ]. Bryan was one of the
features of the celebration of the
Fourth by the Tammany society today
Mr.. Bryan was one of the guests in
vited to help the society celebrate, but
was unable to attend and sent a mes
sage from Lincoln, in which he said:
81 trust your celebration will increase
the enthusiasm of the New York Dem
ocratic party and direct attention to
the fact that the economic questions
now before the country and the trust
question, the tariff question and the
railroad question-all involve the same
issue, namely:
whether the government shall be
administered in the interest of few
faVorites or in behalf of the whole
people,
"Other questions will enter into the
campaign, but these questions empha-
size the Importance of applying to the
government the Jeffersonian doctrine
of equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none William J. Bryan"

the reading of the declaration of inde-
pendence and speeches by Congressman
Rourke Cochran of New York, Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois and James Brain
son of Colorado.
Colonel Raincy attributed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt the design of destroying
state lines and state rights.
"Fhe policy of the executive" said
he. now seems to be to secure the
power we thought belonged to the
states in the hands of congress, and
then get congress to surrender to the
executive"
MIR. Rainey declared that it was evil
dent Mr.. Roosevelt intended to be one
of the candidates for president next
wear and SAID his Endorsements OF
''favorite sons were like so many
nails in their coffins. The speaker con-
cluded:
washington was too big to accept
third term. Jefferson was too big
to accept third term, but the present
occupant of the White House is not

of a third term staring us in the face
we are beginning to look around for
a man who stands upon his declaration
of independence, and out west we oner
you such a man. There is not money
enough locked up in all the vaults OF
the trusts to defeat William j. Bryan

of the liberal party.

senger train on the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railroad ran into freight Satur-

about a mile from Milo, wrccking both
engines, but causing no serious injury
to any Of the passengers.
The passenger train was No. 16 from
Greenville Junction for Bangor, and
had many on board. 1t entered the yard
at Milo Junction just as freight No. 80
was backing out, and through a mis-
take in signals the passenger train, go
ing at a speed Of about 20 miles an
hour, crashed into the engine of the
retreating freight.
The impact was sufficient to COM
pletcy wreck the engine and to throw
the entire passenger train backwards
a distance of 40 feet, giving the passen-
gers a severe shaking Up.
The only passenger who received in
iuries except from the shock, was DR..

that it was completely hidden. The pas
scnecr cars escaped damage beyond
breaking glass in the windows.
