CHICAGO. October 31.-"Thfs has
been one Of the greatest days 1 ever ex-
per1enced in the campaign" remarked
William j. Bryan late tonight after full
day in Indiana.
Crowds of mammoth proportions and
unlimited cheering were the tribute of the
Hoosier state to the democratic candidate
for President. He frequently left the
train and was fairly mohbed by his en-
thusiastic admirers. The prepar atoms
for his reception at the various points
where stops were made were lavish. and
1t seemed as If each city visited was
vying with his neighbor in the degree OF
hospitality extended. Nor was Mr.. Bryan
alone in the ovations: Mrs Bryan came
in for her share. and was deluged with
flowers and even with lunch baskets.
She was continually on the platform
shaking hands or holding receptions In
the parlor of her car, the Olivette.
Practically winding up his campaign
today. Mr.. Bryan entered into the spirit
OF the occasion with an earnestness and
intensity which left no room for doubt
that he meant what he said. He spoke
with convincing force in his attacks on
Messrs. Rockefeller, Carnegie, Harri-
man, President Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft.
throng assembled at Union City, his first
speaking point. and patiently awaited the
time for. him to make his appearance.
Suggests an Injunction.
Early as it was, he began hammering
away. at the financiers. the President
and Mr. Taft, and kept 1t up throughout
the day. He found new thoughts for ar
gument in the speech last night at Buff
falo Of Mr.. Taft. who is quoted as deny
ing that Mr.. Rockefeller was supporting
him in the campaign. He said that if Mr..
Taft objected to the oil king, he should
get out writ of injunction against him.
as ''Mr. Taft Is acquainted with the in
Junction business"
At Anderson, Mr.. Bryan's denunciation
of the republican party aroused him to
carrying on a masquerade ball. but the
ball Is over now. The masks have been
removed. and behold! Mr.. TAT; has been
dancing with coy Mr.. Rockefeller and
did not know 1t. Mr.. Sherman has been
waltzing with winsome Mr.. Carnegie. and
Mr.. Roosevelt has led the grand march
with that undesirable citizen, Mr.. Harri-
man. What cruel deception these trus.
magnates have practiced on the confiding
republican leaders," He declared thai i
was fortunate for the country that the
trust rnagpates had shown their hands be-
fore the election. He was glad MIR. Taft
mad them Il bel eve," he added. Il
ought to have the votes of those who have
been victimized by the trusts, for re-
publican victory will bring no relief to
the people"
"Dinner Pail Deceit"
Another favorite argument tor the can.
didate today was in connection with the
empty dinner pail slogan. THE repub-
licans deceived you eight years ago about
the dinner pail" he said. But now there
is no full dinner pail. the workingmer
are looking at the hole In the bottom ano
making faces at the republican leaders. "
