Never before had Lincoln's streets and buildings such gala appearance, never had such a profusion of banners Istreamers, bunting and photographs ,flashed forth to dazzle the eyes of my riads of visitors. O street was a riot of colors. Around the mutilated Taft banner a crowd of curious visitors clustered
 The route of the parade carried Bryan directly under the banner but no notice was taken of the fact by him or his party.
 The ceremony of notification was Iconducted on the north front of the capitol building Not a single in cident occurred to mar the proceed ings. The police arrangements were excellent.
 Before the notification and accep- Itance speeches were delivered, Nor man F. Mack, chairman of the dem Iocratic committee, who acted as pre- siding officer, called upon Kern to make a speech. MT. Kern responded with a few felicitous remarks in which he gave unstinted praise for the non -partisanship character of the exercises.
 The speech of Bryan concluded the ceremonies and he and Kern retired to the capitol building where they held a public reception.
 Tonight MT. and Mrs. Bryan en- tertained the members of the notiff- cation committee at dinner at their home, Fairview, the party being served by Mrs. Ruth Leavitt and Miss Grace Bryan, daughters of host and hostess; and Mrs. Spangler and Mrs. T. F. Allen, niece and sister-in- law respectively of the democratic candidate, and Mrs. Winger.

MIR. TAFT ENDORSES THE INDICT
 MENT

MT. Taft says that these evils have crept in during the last ten years. He declares that, during this time, some prominent and influential members of the community, spurred by financial success and in their hurry for greater fWealth, became unmindful of the com mon rules of business honesty and fi- delity, and of the limitations imposed by law. upon their actions;" and that 'the revelations of the breaches of trusts. the disclosures as to rebates and discriminations by railroads, the accommodating evidence of the viola tions of the antitrust laws, by a num- Der of corporations, and the over-is- sue of stocks and bonds of interstate railroads for the unlawful enriching of directors and for the purpose of con- centrating the control of the railroads under one management, all these, he charges, 'quickened the conscience of the people and brought on a moral awakening"
 During all this time, beg to remind you, republican officials presided in the executive department, filled the cabi- net, dominated the senate, controlled the house of representatives and occu- pied most of the federal judgeships. Four years ago the republican platform bOastfully declared that since 1S60- with the exception of two years-the republican party had been in control of part or of all the branches of the federal government; that for two years only was the democratic party in a position to either enact or repeal law Having drawn the salaries. hav- ing enjoyed the honors; having secur- ed the prestige, let the republican party accept the responsibility!

Oklahoma City, Aug. 12.-Endorsing the Chicago platform, the republican nominees and the national ticket. and President RoOsevelts policies, the Ok lahoma republicans in convention here today adopted a platform for a state campaign.
 The platform favors the sale of state school lands, the establishment of sep arate schools for the races, a strict en- forcement of the prohibition law, and condemns the primary election law.

WHY NO RAILROAD LEeIsLATIoNl

For ten years the interstate com merce commission has been asking for an enlargement of it's powers, that it might prevent rebates and discrim- nations, but a republican senate and republican house of representatives were unmoved by its entreaties. In 1900 the republican national cOnven- tion was urged to endorse the demand for railway legislation but it's platform was silent on the subject. Even in 1904, the convention gave no pledge to remedy these abuses. When the pres ident finally asked for legislation, he drew his inspiration from three demo- cratic national platforms and he re- ceived more cordial support from the democrats than from the republicans. The republicans in the senate deliber- ately defeated several amendments of fered by Senator LaFollette and sup ported by the democrats-amendm lembodying legislation asked by the in- terstate commerce commission. One of these amendments authorized the 'ascertainment of the value of railroads. This amendment was not only de- lfeated by the senate, but it was over Iwhelmingly rejected by the recent re- publican national convention and the republican candidate has sought to res- cue his party from the disastrous re- suits of this act by expressing him self, in a qualified way, in favor of Iascertaining the value of the railroads. IOVER-lSSUE OF STOCKS AND
 BONDS.
 MT Taft complains of the over-issue of stocks and bonds of railroads, flor the unlawful enriching of directors and for the purpose of concentrating the control of the railroads under one management" and the complaint is well founded. But, with a president to point out the evil, and a republi- can congress to correct it, we find nothing done for the protection of the public. Why? My honorable oppo- nent has, by his confession, relieved me of the necessity of furnishing proof, he admits the condition and he can not avoid the logical conclusion that must be drawn from the admission. There is no doubt whatever that a large majority of the voters of the re- publican party recognize the deplor- able situation which MT. Taft des
 cribes; they recognize that the masses have had but little influence upon leg islation or upon the administration of the government, and they are begin ming to understand the cause For a generation, the republican party has drawn it's campaign funds from the .l-,kf

are imperatively needed. Further can not concur in the statement that the republican platform unequivocally declares for the reforms that are nec- essary; on the contrary, I affirm that 1t openly and nOtoriOusly disappoints the hopes and expectations of reform CTS, whether those reformers be repub- licans or democrats. So far did the republican convention fall short of it's duty that the republican candidate felt it necessary to add to his platform in several important particulars, thus re- buking. the leaders of the party, upon whose cooperation he must rely for the enactment of remedial legislation.
 As I shall, in separate speeches, dis cuss the leading questions at issue, I shall at this time confine myself to the paramount question, and to the far-reaching purpose of our party, as that purpose is set forth in the plat form.
 THE RULERS.
 Our platform declares that the over Ishadowing issue which manifests itself in all the questions now under dis cussion, is shall the people rule?" No matter which way we turn; no matter to what subject we address ourselves, the same question confronts us: Shall the people control their own govern ment, and use that government for the protection of their rights and for the promotion of their welfare? or shall the representatives of predatory wealth prey upon q defenseless public, while the offenders spure immunity from Isubservient officials whom they raise to power by interruptions methods? '? This is the issue raised by the known abuses" to which Mir Taft refers. FROM ROOSEVELT
 In a message sent to congress last January, President Roosevelt said: ''The attacks by these great corpora tions on the administrations actions have been given a wide circulation throughout the country, in the news papers and otherwise, by those writers and speakers who, consciously or un- consciously, act as the representatives of predatory wealth-of the wealth ac- cumulated on a giant scale by all forms of iniquity, ranging from the oppression of wage earners to unfair and unWholesOme methods of crushing out competition, and to defrauding the public by stock jobbing and the man. ipulation of securities. Certain veal thy men of this stamp, whose conduct should be abhorrent to every man of ordinarily decent conscience and who commit the hideOus wrong of teaching our young men that phenomenal busi- ness success must ordinarily be based on dishonesty, have, during the last few months, made it apparent that they have banded together to work for a re- action. Their endeavor is to over throw and discredit all who honestly administer the law, to prevent any ad- ditiional legislation which would check and restrain them, and to secure, if possible, a freedom from all restraint which will permit every interruptions wrong-doer to do what he wishes un- checked. provided he has enough mon- ey."-What an arraignment of the pre- datOry interests

not been corrected? If existing laws are sufficient, why have they not been enforced? All of the executive machin- cry of the federal government Is in the hands of the republican party. Are new laws necessary? Why have they not been enacted? With a republican president to recommend, with repub- lican senate and house to carry out his recommendations, why does the re- publican candidate plead for further time in which to do what should have been done long ago? Can NIT. Taft promise to be more strenuous in the prosecution of wrong-doers than the present executive? Can he ask for a larger majority in the senate than his party now has? Does he need more republicans in the house of representa- tives or a speaker with more unlimited authority?

WHY NO TARIFF REFORMS

been promising for several years that he would attack the iniquities of the tariff We have had intimation that Mr Taft was restive undQ' the de- mands of the highly protected indus tries. And yet the influence of the manufacturers, who have for twenty five years contributed to the republi- can campaign fund, and who in return have framed the tariff schedules, has been sufficient to pr/ ent tariff reform. As the present campaign approached, both the president and Mir. Taft de- clared in favor of tariff revision, but set the date of revision after the cleo ton. But the pressure brought to bear by the protected interests has been great enough to prevent any attempt at tariff reform before the election; and the reduction promised after the election is so hedged about with quali- flying phrases, that no one can estimate with accuracy the sum total of tariff reform to be expected in case of re- publican success. If the past can be taken as a guide. the republican party will be so obligated by campaign con tributiOns from the beneficiaries of protection, as to make that party pow erless to bring to the country any ma terial relief from the present tariff burdens.
 A few years ago the republican leaders in the house of representatives were coerced by public opinion into the support of an anti-t trust law which had the endorsement of the president, but the senate refused to consider the measure, and since that time no effort has been made by the dominant party to secure remedial legislation upon

WEAVING A WAY.

Over two tiny strands OF wire, that
have just been strung between the
gigantic steel towers of the new
Manhattan Bridge, the spinning Of
this monster viaduct has been begun
to-day. Wire by wire, strand by
strand and cable by cable, the whole
hanging structure is to be woven high
in air over the broad East River, For
the better part OF two years il is ex-
pected that this ceaseless shutting of
fresh wire into woof and web will
go on before another highway lies
open between Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan. Though the new bridge is being
spun hardly stones throw from the
old Brooklyn Bridge, traffic is al
ready pent up and pressing for this
double outlet between boroughs. For
years the skeleton of the present
Williamsburgh Bridge hung in just
this weaving process, before the wait
ing trafic-tide could rush across its
broad expanse. If the river itself
were drained to dry highway it seems
as though every foot of its passage
might soon be crowded by the press
Of Gotham's multitude.
