 Mir. Bryan abruptly charges that Governor Hughes. quoted by President Roosevelt as having 'riddled the dem Ocratic trust remedy was himself a beneficiary of trusts. and cites the campaign contributions to the Hughes election fund two years ago. Among the contributors were J. r. Morgan. John D. Rockefeller. MT. Carnegie. and Mir. Nelson Cromwell.
 MT. Bryan says that as the president quotes Governor Hughes he takes it for granted that Judge Taft has not expressed himself satisfactorily on the trust question.
 In conclusion MT Bryan said: q dare compare my efforts for the moral uplift of the nation with Tafts efforts. my deeds. with his deeds. and the pol icies to which I am committed with the policies to which he is committed, and more than that, if I may assume that he will follow in your footsteps, I dare compare my ideal of the pres idency with his. l do not regard it as proper for the president to use his prestige his influence or his patron age to aid one member of his party as against another who aspires to of flee. and I regard it as a violation of the obligation the president owes to the whole people to use an office that belongs to the whole people as a party asset for the advancement Of a per sonal friend and a political protege.

MORSE ASSUMES SOME BLAME
RESPONSIBLE FOR DUMMY
LOANS, He SAYS.
But Omission In Report to Control
Ter Of Currency Not at His
Request.

NTW YORK, October 3O.-At the time
of adjournment yesterday of the United
States court, in which Judge Hough has
been presiding at the trial of Charles w.
Morse and Albert H. Curtis, president of
the National Bank of North America, for
the violation of the national banking laws.
Morse was on the witness stand.
Morse went to the witness stand to con-
tinue his testimony Immediately after the
trial was resumed today. He said he ac-
cepted full responsibility for the so-called
dummy loans made in the name of Leslie
B. Whiting, a nineteen-year-old Office boy.
The loans were made by Curtis and
Wire as officials of the National Bank of
North America. said Morse. In making
them they had acted at his request. He
considered himself responsible for the
loans.
If the loans were not reported to the
controller of the currency, however, the
omission was not due to any request made
by him. The act of omission was without
his knowledge.
Coming to the loan made by Wesley NJ.
Oler, president of the American Ice Com
pany, on 1000 shares of ice stock. Morse
said he had been assured of lasting graft
tude by Oler because of his action in that
instance He sale when he informed Oler
be would permit him to make loan on
the ice stock, the president of the ice
company appeared to be immensely
pleased.
He repeatedly thanked me- said
Morse, "even to the extent of saying his
wife and children would remember me in
their prayers. He told me I had put him
on his feet and given him chance no
one else ever had given him."
When his attention was called to the
testimony of Oler in the present trial to
the effect that he had tipped Morse to
sell the 1000 shares of ice when the stock
was selling at 90 but that Morse had re-
fused to SELL saying it would go to 10.
Morse said:
'If he had wanted to sell that ice at
30 he could have done SO. 1t was his own
stock and not mine. l never refused to
sell it. The statement is wrong"
What did you consider the stock of
the ice company really and actually
WORTH" he was asked.
Il thought 1t worth fully par and it's
earning capacity easily I per cent he
replied.

Mr., Taft IN SBERMAk'S TOWN
CANDIDATES APPEAR ON SAME
PLATFORM AT UTICA.
"Your Jim Says We're Going to Be
Elected, and I Believe
Him.

UTICA. N Y. October 3O.-"Your Jim
has assured me that we are going to be
elected, and believe his Judgment is
good" declared William H. Taft to a
great audience here today. The meet
ing at which Mr.. Taft spoke followed a
twenty minute conference between the
republican candidates at hotel.
Mr. Sherman was waiting in his automo-
bile when the Taft special pulled into the
station. Judge Taft greeted him with the
greatest cordiality. and the two went to
the hotel Twenty minutes later they were
driven up through the crowded streets.
Two audiences were waiting to receive
the candidates. one at the Majestic Inca
ter and another at the Orpheum. The
Majestic was visited first. and when Taft
and Sherman appeared side by side on the
stage the audience was electrified into an
enthusiastic demonstration. The shouting
continued for many minutes. Judge TAFT
expressed many fond memories of Utica,
adding, "and besides, it is the home of
your Jim Sherman, and my colleague On
the national ticket
Il have known Jim Sherman a good
many years." continued Judge Taft. and
each time he called his colleague Jim
approval was expressed without stint.
You don't have to know him long to
know him well.' he went on. 1T has
been my good fortune In Washington to
find him one OF the towers or strength
for doing things-for getting things
through Congress. We are in the same
boat, Jim and l. Nobody can vote for
him and scratch me. and nobody can vote
for me and scratch him. We are alb
solutely tied together, and | am delighted
that it is so. We are on the eve of ma
tional election, and Jim Sherman assures
me that we are going to be elected"
New York city will give you fifty
thousand majority" shouted voice. Il
am not ambitious for too many figures In
the way OF maJorities." returned the can
didate. smiling.
You just get the majorities."
But. he continued with more serious
air. when you come to look at it it does
not seem to me there can be the slight
out doubt about our winner in this elec-
tion. People ought to know good thing
when they see it,
This brought laugh. He then added
that he thought it would be a reflection
on the American people to suppose that
they would not vote in accordance. with
their business interests and material pros
perity. This led him to a discussion of
the issues in a general way.
When Judge Taft had concluded Mr..
Sherman followed with brief speech.
The candidates then spoke to another
audience in the Orpheum Theater. after
which Mr.. Taft left for Batavia and
Buffalo.
