done before---it has taken the people into its confidence and laid bare the source of it's campaign contributions The Republican National Committee re- fuses to do this. The Republican Ma tional Committee promises to let you know after election what contributions have been made to that committee, but the Republican Congressional Committee have never promised to let you know what contributions have been made to 1t. submit that our plan appeals to the conscience of the country.
 And, my friends, I want to make this prediction, that whether we win or lose. this reform that we are inc agurating will become the. law of this land. and the Republican party will be compelled To at last yield to the moral appeal
 If" he said. amid .tumuItous ap- plause. s''there be Republicans here. let me say to them that they may de- feat me if they will. but they cannot deny to me the credit that history will give me for helping to give an im- pulse to honest politics"
 The Democratic candidate charged that the President was now issuing daily bulletin assuring that Mir. Taft was the friend of labor.
 My friends" he said, there is a cer- tain mutuality about friendship; both sides have to be consulted and MT Roosevelt consults only enc side when he discusses Mir. Taft as the friend of la- bor. care not what he may say about Mir. Tafts friendship for labor. MT. Taft's record shows that he is not in sympathy with those who toll In this country. -Iere is something I hope will engage his attention for the rest of the campaign. It Is a decision rem dered by him in the case of, Tomas ys. ha 0tn Or1 Pacific Railroad Company. In that case Mr. Taft rendered a decision au- thorizing the receiver to make a cut of ten per cent in the wages of the rail- way employees, and he rendered that decision in 1894 when the same ques- ton came before other judges. The same questions came before Judge Caldwell and he refused to authorize cut of ten per cent in the wages of the employees. and when these employees wh" were affected by Judge Taft's decision made application to have wages restor- ed to their former amount, Mir. Taft in rejecting their appeal used this Ian guage:
 Limitation of Court.
 Their appeal is exactly like that of an appeal from an employe to an em- ployer. except that while the employee may be moved by conslderations of charity a court is limited in the exer- else of It's discretion to such action as may be consistent with the preserva- tion of the property and It's due admin istration in the interests of those who own It.
 He denied these men any legal right to appeal, and merely without setting precedent. permitted them to state their case. and then informed them that an ordinary employer might as mat ter of charity hear them and heea I.. |, L. t.a knI An consider the question of property"
 The candidate elicited wild applause when he said that in the West Mir. Taft was running on his amendments to tho Chicago platform, while in the East he was running on the original plat form. Tn the East" he said, he is narcotic; in the West he is a stimulant In the West he is pledged to reform: in the East it is sh-sh, 5h-sh.'
 Mir. Bryan closed with a bitter de- nuneiation of the Preident. for, as he said, making himself dictator 'I aspire to the Presidency" he said: "the ofilce that was held by Washington and Jefferson and Jackson and Lincoln; and if I take 1t. want to take 1t clinging to 1t. do not want 1t thrown into the arena of politics and made football between the parties"
 At Mount Vernon.
 Mount Vernon. N r.. Oct. 26-Fin- ishing a rapid round of Westchester County cities and towns. W. J. Bryan reached this city in his automobile late today and addressed big and en- thusiastir gathering.
 Ills reception In Mount Vernon, in point of numbers participating and en- thusiasm displayed. was repetition of that accorded him at each of the h t1 h. nf this thickly settled region. Starting in Yonkers, where he addressed two demonstrative crowds of large dimen- sions in the early afternoon. MT. Bryan was taken in an automobile into the interior of the country at Tuckahoe, speaking briefly there. and was then whirled into White Plains, the county seat.

 At Port Chester. on the sound shore. where the candidate was next taken, Mir Bryan and William H. Taft just missed each other. As Mir. Bryan's au- tornobile was coming into town. the Republican candidates special train. from which he made Q rear platform speech, was just pulling out of the station. Two meetings were address ed by the Democratic candidate hero, one of them an outdoor gathering to the limits of which. despite its size, Mir. Rryan's voice carried clearly.
