MIR. BRYAN TALKS
And Suggests Some Remedies for
Current Evils.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 11.-Wil-
liam ]. Bryan was the guest of honor
at a banquet on the twenty-first an
niversary of the jefferson club to-
night. Covers were laid for over 500
guests. Mr.. Bryan responded to the
toast Democracy"
He condemned the national incor-
pOratiOn of railroads. as proposed by
President Roosevelt, saying that such
a plan was in the interests of rail-
roads. which desired, not greater
Federal regulation. but escape from
State regulation
He favored the enforcement of the
criminal laws against the trusts and
the enactment of new laws. one Of
which is known as the license system.
10 be applied to corporations when
they control as much as 25 per cent
of the total output in their respective
lines. According 10 this system, no
one corporation would be permitted
to control more than SO per cent of
the total product
He favored immediate revision of
the tariff, beginning with articles
which come into competition with
the trust-made articles Such a
tariff. he thought, ought to be en-
tirely removed
On the railroad question. he ex-
pressed himself in favor of more
stringent regulation, that regulation
to take the form of legislation as
pertaining the present value of rail
roads, preventing the watering of
stock and raising rates. He argued
that reasonable rate would be one
that would enable the railroads to
maintain their stock at par when the
road was honestly capitalized.
He said the present money string
ency began with speculation in New
York, but that it had extended owing
to the timidity of depositors. He
thought that this timidity was not
justified. and that the banks Of the
West were sound. He favored Iegfs-
lation which. by increasing the
security of depositors. would remove
even an unreasonable fear.

STOCKTON A CANDIDATE.
J. n. c., of jacksonville, Announces
That He VIII Run for
Governor

John N c. Stockton, of Jackson
vile. yesterday announced himself as
a candidate for the Office of Governor
of Florida.
Mr. Stockton was one of the de-
feated candidates for the United
States senate before the primaries of
1904, and since that time he has
claimed to be out of politics Now,
at the earnest solicitation of
friends" he is going to enter the
political arena for the governorship.
In announcing his candidacy he is
quoted as saying to a reporter:
Il have had the matter of becom-
ing a candidate for the governorship
under consideration for some con-
siderable time. l have been repeat
eddy, l might say, urged, in private
letters written me by friends and
people with whom l am not even per-
sOnaly acquainted, to become a can
didate for governor, and I am in
formed by these friends that it is the
wish of a great many people in each
Of the localities of Florida that 1
should enter the race.
y realize that the Office of COVER
nor is the highest in the gift of the
people of Florida, and that the op-
portunities to do something for the
benefit of the people Of Florida are
fnT In -,
other office that a Florida man can
occupy. II is very pleasing for a man
TO know that SO many people of his
native State express a desire that he
should serve them, and l have con-
Guided to serve the people of Florida
if a majority of the Democratic voters
so decided nthe primaries to be held
next year"
This announcement viii occasion
very little surprise in political circles.
for it has been generally understood
for some time that Nj. Stockton
would become a candidate for the
governorship-
He has not yet announced his plat
form, but there is a certainty that
State prohibition VIII be one Of the
leading planks, for only few weeks
ago Mr.. Stockton delivered an ad-
dress at a prohibition meeting held
at the foot OF Main street in the in
terest OF the prohibition movement.
Since his defeat for the United
States senatorial nomination Mr..
Stockton has been engaged in the
contracting business, and at the pre-
sent time has. what is known as, the
blanket contract for paving the
streets of Jacksonville with vitrifed
Union.
