view before thousands of people along the line of march, followed by parade of hundreds of marchers and speaking to more people than the sound of his voice could reach, William J. Bryan tonight made brief sally south of the Ohio river. The rally in Louisville was for MT. Bryan the continuation of one of the busiest days of the campaign, and the outpouring here equalled, and possibly surpassed, anything in the way of demonstration the candi- date has met with since he was notified of his nomination. From the time he left New Albany, Ind, just across the Ohio river, until he spoke his final word of farewell, MT. Bryan was the recipient of a continuous ovation.
 Arriving in Louisville with the recep- tion committee on two special trolley cars, Mir Bryan passed through an unbroken lane of people from the rivers edge until he reached Phoenix Hill park at the op- posite end of the city, seven miles away. As the cars bearing the party reached the heart of town they took the line at the head of a procession over mile long, which was waiting to begin it's march to Phoenix Hill. The crush along the line of march in the downtown shopping district was so great that rolice reserves were unable to manage it. Women and chil- dren were endangered at a number of con- gested points and many minor accidents occurred as the result of overcrowding.
 Great Enthusiasm.
 Arriving at Phoenix Hill park MT. Bryan was cheered for 15 minutes, and it was only with difficulty that the crowd could be induced to check its enthusiasm long . enough to allow him to speak. He found it necessary to deliver three addresses, one at Phoenix Hall, another In the park outside and a third to the paraders nassed in open space near the park. He also made short speeches at two other points, one of them being addressed to a delegation of railroad employees.
 In beginning each of his three speeches MT Bryan devoted considerable atten- tion to the welcome given him. He de- clared, amid yells, that the turnout had been of such size as to leave the demo- crats no option but to make My Old Kentucky Home the national anthem when they assumed charge of the ad- ministration.
 Before he had spoken in the hall more than five minutes MT. Bryan found it necessary to issue a witty but peremptory order to the crowd around the platform to give way the crowd obeying just in time to prevent the possible injury o1 or more persons who were standing on chairs and were endangered by throngs pressing in from ha outside. The crowd of people was swaying dangerously.
 The Bryan special left at Il o'clock for Newark, o. where the first of series of speeches in that state will be made early in the morning.
 Notable Tour.
 The tour today of MT. Bryan through Indiana was a notable one. Accustomed though he is to large crowds and lusty cheers, the demonstrations accorded him today were commented upon by the can didate as being exceedingly gratifying. A pleasing feature of the trip was the re- peated calls for Mrs. Bryan, who shared Z in the handshalSing with her husband She was overwhelmed with attention at every place where stop was made and was the recipient of many handsome floral pieces.
 The democratic candidate, although he had but six hours sleep, appeared fresh and strong when he delivered his first of l6 speeches of the day at Hammond at 7:30 o'clock. His voice was in splendid shape and he commanded the strict at ' tention of his many audiences. His fla vorite themes today were blanks of the democratic platform relating to labor, the guaranty of bank deposits and the pub lcity of campalgn contributions, and tre- auently aroused his auditors to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He appealed for sup- port of the democratic party on the ground that it was nearer to the people, and pledged himself, if elected, to devote all his energies to the fulfllment of the promises contained in his platform. He was especially vigorous in his remarks, and denounced the banker who would gamble on the stock market and thereby place in jeopardy the funds entrusted to his care To the laboring men he pointed to Mr. Taft as their enemy, and to the farmers he said that MT. Taft had noth- ing to offer in the way of relief Pres ident Roosevelt was again scored for the part he has played in the campaign.
 The whole journey was made in spe- cial train, and the. route traversed was almost in a straight line south of Chi cago At various times during the day MT. Bryan was accompanied by candidates for state offices and for Congress, includ- ing Thomas Marshall the democratic nominee for governor Stokes Jackson, state chairman, was with the candidate all day, while s, H. Alexander of Denver travelled as the representative of the na- tional committee.
 Campaign Publicity.
 In his principal remarks here tonight MT. Bryan said in part:
 'I called attention yesterday to the fact that the republican congressional committee has not promised to make known it's contributions even after the election. When the republican commit tee announced that contributions to the committee would be made public after election it condemned the policy of secrecy as to contributions, even though it re- fused to give the people the benefit of publicity after the votes are boiled. Will the republican committee now announce It's policy? If 1t refuses to promise pub licity even after the election what con- { cluson shall we draw from it's silence? \ It comes under the condemnation of the ' republican national committee, and there
