greatest danger frankly he no doubt
would take up the question as tt
whether his election will tend tn pro
long the financial panic. Republi
cans who ought to know declare tina,
II Mr.. Taft should speak of his great
est danger he would no doubt refer t,
the question as to whether his cleo
ton will mean that the "old crowd, ;
meaning the coterie of captains O
Industry, that stood In at Washing
ton before Roosevelt came, will COM
back into their place at the head o
the table.
1t Is very we'll understood at boil
headquarters here that the final rally
ing cry OF the republicans will b
that Bryan is unsafe; that his cleo
ton will mean the prolonging of tn
present financial depression, and tina
every business man and every labor
ing man who wants to see good time
return promptly must support til
republican nominee. Thoughtlu
democrats see that this is the on
number on the repu 1lican program
that will give the democratic nomi
nee most trouble.
or course Bryan expects to NEE
the charge. His closest friends sa
he has not deceived himself into be
lieving that he could get through tn
campaign without having to NEE
such argument.
Bryan would like to entice Nj
Taft on to the stump. Some OF hi
friends say he would even be please
to have President Roosevelt reconsic
err his decision not To make any poll,
ical speeches. One OF the Nebraskan
travelling companions said while til
party was here: before the LIST {
October either Mr. Taft or Nj
Roosevelt will nave TO answer Nj
Bryan. He intends TO make "A serie
Of carefully prepared speeches
which The Des Moines speech on TAI
in and the indianapolis speech o
the trusts are two-that will have I
be answered and answered 10 the sal
isfactlon of the thinking voters {
the country. Naturally the votin
public will look TO Mr.. Taft rattle
than Mr.. Roosevelt 10 do the az
swering. Bryan does not believe hi
arguments can be answered this yea
by crying that he is unsafe"
The fact that most OF the new
papers OF the north are against hiI
Influenced Pryan, IL is said, TO decid
TO enter on speecb-making can
paign. In no other way could /
get his arguments before the peopl,
1t has always been the rule Of II
press associations TO carry u
speeches made by presidential cand
dates, and so by going on the stun
Bryan found sure way Of reachir
the public.
