Wahoo, Neb.. Oct. 13--Accompanied by practically all tie Democratic can
 dtdates for State offices, William J.. l Bryan today campaigned in his own | State and tonight at this place. com pleted the first of his three days tour of Nebraska.
 Big crowds greeted him at every | point. and when his days work was
 over, he had delivered twenty-one
 speeches. His arguments were confined or MT. Taft and Governor Hughes, who
 recently visited Nebraska.
 The audiences were mostly farmers and the Democratic candidate fre- quently moved them to loud applause
 The route traversed was through nu- merous Republican strongholds. A car load of speakers was brought along out of Omaha, and at each place vis- tted, one was dropped off to complete the work of expounding Democratic doctrine. MT. Bryan accused Mir. Taft of not making the speech in Nebraska that he had been making in other parts of the country
 "He did not discuss the guarantee of bank deposits" he said rDoubtlesg be- of NebTaslVa are in favor of the guar anteeing the deposits His appeal to the farmers was on the fact that the farmers have good crops and fair prices. But did the Republican Party give yeu good crops? All who think the Republican Party is responsible for good crops should thank the Re- publican Party. Those who believe, as we do. that good crops are due to the fertility of the soil to reasonable rains and to the warmth of the sun shine, should thank the Almighty"
 He asked his audience if the Repub- licans had given them high prices.
 ARa .a4 quired, as high In Canada as they are here? Are not agricultural prices as high in England as they are here? Have not values increased in Europe as we'll as in America? You must And some cause that is as extended as the result which you are trying to &C., count for, and the influence of the Re- publican party is confined to the Unit cd States. The farmers should not be deceived by the argument now ad- dressed to them. for a similar arEu- ment was addressed to laboring men oight years ago"
 He then spoke of the empty dinner pail. It was void, he said. because the bottom had dropped out of it, and now the farmers were told that the Repub- licanJ are to give them a full basket The Republican Party, he declared, had no policy that promised benefit to the farmer. but he is the victim of all the abuses that have grown up under Republican rule"
 Discussing reforms tie candidate said that there was not one that Mir. Roosevelt or Mir Taft stood for that he had not fought for before.
 "If," he said. you approve what they have tried to do in these reforms, how can you denounce what I have tried to do: and If you believe 1t is good for the country for them to try to apply them. how caH you doubt that 1t would be better for the country If a Democrat should try to apply them?"
 In the opinion of Mir. Bryan, Govern or Hughes was not the kind of a man to give advice to people who wanted remedial legislation.
 Governor hughes. who came 10 make fun of our antitrust remedy" he said. "Is the same Governor Hughes who vetoed the two-cent pas- senger fare bill in the State of New York. a thing that your Governor would not veto. a thing that ali of you are in favor of. for you all are paying two cents instead of three. Yet down in New York. where the popula- tion is thicker than 1t is out here, af. ter that bill was passed by Repub- Ilcan Legislature. Governor Hughes vetoed it. and he Is not the kind of man to give advice to people who want remedial legislation"
 After speaking at Wahoo. Mir. Bryan returned to Fremont, where his train was switcl cd to the lines Of the Union Pacific, over which road he will re- sume his .)urney 1; the morning. He will deliver twenty three speeches to- morrow.
