hE ADDRESSES TREMENDOUS
 THRoNG IN AUDITORIUM.
The Repub Candidate Complains To LabOrers Of GOmpers Aiding Democrats And Appeals
 For Their Votes.

Denver. Oct. 2.--In the same build ing--the Denver Auditorium-in which W. J. Bryan was nominated last June, William H. Taft tonight addressed a tremendous throng. setting forth req sons and Inducements why the Nebras- Kan should not be elected.
 Mir. Taft's entrance into Denver was under inspiring political conditions. His stay in the citT was but for three hours and every prelisuinary to the big street parade and itt ading spectacu- lar features, had been carefully ar ranged 80 that when the Taft special pulled Into the union station. the town had on particularly bright red glare The streets were profusely illuminated and had not been so densely populated since the Democratic convention de- parted.
 The candidate was at once made part of the festivities. In an automo- bile he was given the place of honor in the parade and bowed his acknowl- edgeTnents to shouts and piaudits along the line of march which included the principal business streets and ending at the splendid auditorium. whose en- tire seating capacity had been thrown open.
 Mr. Taft delivered the principal speech of the evening. His subjects ranged widely over the various issues of the campaign. He paid his respects to Bryan many times and received en- couragement from the audience in so doing. One new feature of his ad- dress was in handling the subject of the beet sugar industry which he took as an illustration of Democratic pro- posals towards the trusts. Beet sugar he said. was a trust made article. The Democrats proposed to put all such articles on the free list, just to punish the trusts. This would, he maintained not only punish the many innocent farmers and producers as well. Judge Taft has said things in the West toe day. His language particularly on the labor question has been decisively wig orous and positive.
 This thing of MT. Gompers having the labor vote in his power and labor ing men believing the lies, ts sOme- thing that complain of.
 T appeal to the clear-h eaded, intel ligent and independent workingmen of this country to look into the facts and the law and if they can find there that me.
 But what I complain of Is this wind tanning and misrepresentation of a man who claims to control labor. in order to defeat q man who is in favor of labor"
 The foregoing quotations are ex- cerpts from the speeches Mir. Taft to Denver by way of Cheyenne, Wyo., and his general topic included talks to farmers about the tarifr and Lne necessity for maintaining the protec- tive principle. He made his views on the labor question known at nearly every stop. But 1t was at North Platte. Cheyenne and Denver that this subject received the most extended considera- tion.
 During his speech at Cheyenne. speaking of the labor plank in the Democratic platform, In his argument against intervening jury trials, MT. Taft paid his respect to Governor Eas- kell. He said:
 The man who penned that very resolution in the platform at Denver Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, has been ten or twelve times a defendant in prosecutions of that sort with ref erence to the violations of the orders of the court, and he had to pay $22 .00O in the State of New York in the Fed eral Court, to purge himself of that very contempt. and if you are going to introduce a jury trial every time, you will weaken the power of the courts so that they will be laughing stock. I appeal to intelligent WoFkingmen to know whether they desire that the courts upon which our whole civiliza- ton rests. shall be weakened merely In order that a trial by jury shall pc introduced m a certain class of cases. when we have gotten along thus far for three hundred years without such an intervention between a lawful order of the court and It's enforcement.
 After the Denver meeting tonight. Mr. Taft immediately took up his tourney eastward With an all-uight run, he will be able to keep an en- gagenent at George City. Kas., tomor- row morning and carry out an itinerary of speech making thoughout that State tomorrow. reaching Topeka tomorrow night.
