Charging that William H. Taft ''is no'
satisfied with the work of the Chicagt
convention" which nominated him as thu
republican candidate for the presidency
and that ''he Is deeply impressed Will
the work of the democratic convention
William ]. Bryan has issued a statement
In which he expresses the opinion thai
Mr.. Taft fears the uprising which re-
publican abuses have caused. and vel
hesitates to adopt his real and substan.
tial reforms" The statement was called
forth by the allegation made by Taft II
his speech of acceptance at Cincinnati
Tuesday that Mr.. Bryan was q destroyer
Of business In regard to the speech Mr.
Bryan said:
II read 1t, and shall discuss 1t as dea
with the various subjects upon which 1,
treats. For instance. in a speech at To.
peka between now and the first Of Sep.
TENDER / shall discuss the guaranty OF
banks and contrast Mr.. Taft's position
with the democratic position: In my La:
Dor day speech at Chicago September Z
shall discuss his attitude on the labor
question. In other speeches I shall dis.
cuss his attitude on the tariff question
the trust question and other questions on
WHICH ne mas eXpTcSScQ uluScII.
Calls Taft a Borrower.
'"rhe most noticeable feature Of HE
speech is his attempt to amend tho re-
publican platform by grating on 1t some
Of the planks Of the democratic platform.
He is evidently not satisfied with the
work of his convention. ana Is deeply
impressed by the work Of the democratic
convention. He Is uncharitable, however,
In not giving the democratic party credit
for having pointed out the reforms which
his own convention repudiated, but which
he, in a half-hearted way, Endorses. The
speech shows that he fears the uprising
which republican abuses have caused, and
yet hesitates to adopt his real and sub
stantial reforms"
Confirmation was given by Mr.. Bryan ia
the story printed in the afternoon that II
was not his intention to make any ex-
q few prepared speeches at central points
before the LIST of October. and that during
that month he expects to remain home
and assist in the educational work of the
campaign through the discussion Of public
questions In the form of signed articles
interviews and letters.
The outline Of my plan Of campaign al
printed today" said Mr.. Bryan. us sub
stantially correct. but I am not prepared
yet to announce the number Of speeches

at Peoria on September o. the notification
Of Mr.. Kern at Indianapolis on q date

Although the heat was intense today. q
large number Of visitors rode out to Fair.
view and paid their respects to the demo
cratic leader. One of these was j. T.
Flynn Of Bellaire, Ohio. who was q dele
gate to the Denver convention. Mr.. Flynn
discussed politics with Mr.. Bryan fol
some time and expressed the belief tina,
Ohio would be found in the democratic
column in November.
The actual writing of his speech OF ac-
ceptance has not yet been begun by Mr.
Bryan, but he said today that his ideas
were about formulated and he would en-.
ter upon the work of preparation in day
or two. The fact that an additional Ste
nographer has appeared on the scene 10 ar
indication that all is in readiness for THU
important task.
