Toilette not one of the republican
leaders has raised his voice in favor
of reform. Great applause) It is
the most popular reform In the United
States and the only reform that has
the endorsement of five houses. 1t
is not advocated by the president. It
is championed by Senator La Toilette
and there is no prominent republican
outside of Wisconsin who is urging
the election of Senator La Toilette
today. Have l not made a strong
case? Have l shown that the demo

Mr.. Bryan criticised President Roose-
welt for trying to obliterate the lines
between the states and centralizing
the power at Washington, and criti-
cised him for wishing to take the
power of regulation of railroads from
the states. He was given great ap-
plause when he stated that Secretary
Taft had told one audience not to
blame the president for the reduc-
ton of rates for he was not RESPONSE

aristOcrats and said that the only way
to get reforms was through the state
legislatures which are generally
nearer to the people.

Twelve years ago we had a harl fight,
our platform was bitterly denounced
and many were warned against the
menace of one who ran for president

upon it the right TO stand before the
people for II years. There are I'M

have seen every proposition in the
platform indicated and there is not
one Of them that is not stronger to-
day than it was them
Referring to the money question,
Mr.. Bryan said that it had been point
ed out that the country needed more
money and that silver had been
pointed out as the only source of rev
enue. Our opponents said we didn't
need it. If what we had then was suf-
ficient, we have so per cent. per cap

Will anyone admit that to be the case.
The very men who looked with con

by stating that where he had been de
spised as a fanatic in money matters,
he is now invited to attend banquets
to speak as an expert.
At Awkward Home.
After the address, Mr.. Bryan was
given an informal reception, after
which he drove to the home of City
Attorney Awkward, with whom he
stayed until early this morning, when
he returned to Chicago. From there
