'BRY AN THROWS DOWN.
GAUNTLET TO CANNON.

--------.--.. ---------s sSs
Evansville, Ind, Sept, II Heavy
personal onslaught on Speaker JOS
eph "a. Cannon OF the national house
of representatives were made today
by William j. Bryan in the course Of
hss lllYels through Illinois. The
democratic candidate attacked Mr..
Cannon from all sides. He charged
the speaker with being a favorite Of
predatc. corporate Ions. with having
an gled reform legislation and with
having falsif1ed facts with regard to
Mr.. Bryan's wealth.
Mr.. Bryan bided kss time before
giving vent to his utlterances until
he had reached Speaker Cannon's
tcongressio district about 8 O'clock
this morning, when a ten minutes
stay was made III Toiedo, III. A
great crowd had assembled TO hear
him ana the Nebraskan immeii iiatelyl
launched into his philippe against
the speaker. Moving on from Toledo
Mr.. Bryan repeated his remarks at
Newton, nj.
Not content with his statments
at these wo places, the democratic
candidate for president later on. at
Olney, HI, whero he stayed for 8
hours openly accused the speaker
10 telling a falsehood when the speak
Ter fixed Mr. Bryan's wealth at a mil-
lion dollars. Mr.. Bryan referred to
what he said we're many exagger-
,ated statements in regard to- his
possessions, but declared that Mr.
|Cannon's statement 0 yesterday be-
fore the Springfield convention was
the first attempt OF a man OF polit-
ical standing or responsibility to es-
innate the possessions.
( In great detail, Mr.. Bryan gave
figures showing how his money had
been acquired from the day he en-
tered congress until the present
time. He denied emphatically that
he was worth a million dollars and
fixed the amount Of Ills earthly
possessions at s150.oo0 as the ex-
treme limit. He had come by IT hon
estly, he said, through saving q por-
tion OF his congressional salary, and
from receipts derived from his lee
ltures and writings. He demanded
that Speaker Cannon be as frank as
himself and tell the public whether
he had made any money through
ilecturing and writing, and to what
extent his money making had been
hampered by strict attention to pub
lie duties. lss35 s8s
Mot since the Campaign began
has Mr. Bryan spoken with such
fvehemence. and 1t Is stated to be
the first time that q presidential can
fdidate ever went out Of his way to
attack candidate for congress.
IN Evansville Mr.. Bryan spoke on

performed under canopy which had
been raised over the corner, where
I the stone was laid, under which the
! officiating clergymen stood.
The service opened with short
ntrodnctory address by Rev.

such occasion. Rev. j. W. Hyslop,
rector Of ST. Marks Episcopal church
then led in prayer and he was fol-

Bryan's Election

New York, Oct. 21.-During the ear.
~ part Of the campaign the Democrats
were saying that the business inter
ests of the country did not really care
whether Bryan or Taft. was elected
Because Of the apathy which marks
the early stages Of every presidential
campaign the Democrats finally al
most convinced themselves that this
argument was true. Nathan Strauss
on behalf Of the Democratic national
committee, went so far as to start the
organization Of business mems Bry-
an and Kern league, and sent out
showers Of letters to business men all
over the country calling on. them to
rally to the support Of the Nebraskan.
It has developed In the last week d
two that many Of his replies were
distinctly hostile to Bryan, and al
though Mr.. straus Atill speaks eRthus-
iastically about the progress OF his
work, Il has not been possible ID Ret
any definite information concerning
the personnel Of any Bryan business
mems clubs, and the statements Of
Mr.. Straus are all that hays appeared
az evidence Of their existence:
This mistaken argument by the
Democrats based on the early cam
paign apathy seems to have proved
8 boomerang. for investigation shows
that 1t has aroused great wave of
enthusiasm for Taft among the lead
ing business mon Of the United States.
Indeed, so fearful are they that their
position should be misunderstood or
