Louisville. Ky. Oct lo-(Special)-.- William Jennings Bryan. in whooping things up for the Democratic ticket in Kentucky. deliverod sixteen speeches q fayorite figure with the Nebraska statesman--but he made not one refer ence to the famous ratio, the divinity of which was 90 seriously questioned ny the American people.
 In making these sixteen speeches Mir. Bryan addressed over sixty thousand people and Kentucky Democrats ps- lieve that the wave of enthusiasm which he aroused. will result in | sweeping victory for the State ticket and the election of Governor Beckham 10 the United States Senate.
 The hold which Mir. Bryan has upon the American people was demonstrated by the immense crowds which turned out to hear him in this State and by the manner In which they hung, upon his words. On several occasions dur ,ng the tour he spoke in the open while the rain came down in . steady. driv- ing fashion. drenching him and his hearers to the skin. put even under these trying circumstances, he held his audiences ands succeeded in srousinx enthusiasm.
 Kentucky voters were urged by Mir. Bryan to elect the Democratic State Ticket by large majority. and there- " AE0 tlS oQchtuS HI n HdtiOuat campaign that should result in . splen- did victory for the Democratic Party.
 Referring to the present status Of the United States Senate. MT. Bryan said that 1t was the weakest point in the national government and he urged the election of Governor Beckham--a man who would hear the voice of the people and not take orders from the trusts ana the railroads.
 Mir. Bryan said that he believed there were good reasons for the Dem ocrats--referring to the national or ganixatiop-to take courage, as re- forms urged by the party were being vindicated right along.
 "Let me give vou four of these re forms that have become so strong that Republican President has admitted the correctness of, our position he said. and thereupon he spoke of tho enforcement of the law against the trusts. the move in the direction of railroad regualtion. the income tax and the question of arbitration.
 On these propositions, he said. Presi- dent Roosevelt had accepted Democras- ic doctrine. During eleven years in power, he declared that the Republican Party had not been able to impress up- on the country one Republican idea.
 There Is not a Republican doctrine" he said. that Is as strong as 1t was eleven years ago. That is the result of eleven years of Republican suprem- acy in the United States. and the Dem- ocratic Party has become so strong that 1t can coerco a Republican Presi- dent into the acceptance of Democratic ideas as . basis of his popularity. Is this not time when the faith of Dem- ocrats should be strengthened rather than weakened? Is this not time when their hope should be increased rather than diminished? Is this not a time when they should go forth with q larger zeal rather than with indif- ferenceT'
 The addresses of Mir. Bryan have had the effect of awakening the Democrats ot the State to the fact that the cam paign in Kentucky is a contest of more than local importance. as the result will have weight in the Presidential contest which is to follow. and they have thrown new zeal into the cause. They are absolutely confident of Sc- tory. However, the Republicans are equally confident and are putting up the hardest fight in the history of the organization
