Let them show that they have been

to tear away the veil and tell you what
lies before you.

If he could not last fall prevent panic,
when he was in the cabinet. how can

Observing among the crowd a NUM-
ber of students, Mr.. Bryan said he had
discussed the labor question as he l.@d
because of the new menace to their
independence"
Addressing himself specifically to the
students Mr.. Bryan SAID they build
their lives upon icAals.
Talk to Students
"The young man." he said, "who is
preparing for a career is learning, or
he ought to learn, that there is but one
thing that is invincible and that Is
truth. -,
HE ought to learn that truth VIII
triumph in time over every obstacle.
With his ideals he is interested in pure
politics. All he wants is chance and
he is willing to take his chance under
fair conditions and under equitable
laws.
"I want these young men to under
stand the contest which lies before us.
1 have been nominated without the
aid of president.
'No man with an army of Office
holders was behind me to coerce men
into my support.
~ had no great corporations to
threaten it's employees If they did not
favor my nomination.
1T had no rich relatives to put up
money for the circulation of eulogies
of me. ] have had to fight my way
from the time 1 was school boy and
have had nothing to build upon ex-
cept the confidence of those who be-
lieve with me that / believed what
said and would be faithful If entrusted
with power.
Honor Crowns Efforts
"And now, have been made the cam
didate of my party just as one or these
school boys might be made the cand1-
date of Nhis party in the years to come'
and 1 ask these school boys If they are
not interested in purifying politics so
that man can have a chance to make
a. fight for the people and not have the
election bought away from him by the
secret contributions of predatory
wealth which are not to be known un-
til the people have voted.
"We are making an honest fight. We
are giving you the names of our con-
tributors We are putting in our plat
form what we think ought to be there.
1--WE are appealing to the intelligence
and to the judgment of the American
people, and all we ask Is that every
citizen shall be allowed to think as he
pleases and then allow man to vote
as he thinks. That is our platform, our
plan. We leave our case with you"
Workers Pledge Support
Sixteen speeches were made by the
candidate today While talking to a

rival being at time Wnen tne regular
shifts were being made. The route of
travel today was through many rec
ognized Republican strongholds, and
it was at such places that the candi-
date fired his heaviest batteries.
Mr.. Taft got his share of criticism,
in the matter of cam
paign contributions and his attitude

tions.
AS on yesterday Mrs. Bryan. in re-
spQnse to the demands of the crowd,
