THRONGS WELCOME
BRYAN IN OMAHA
Democratic Candidate Given an
Ovation at Address in
Nebraska City
Many Republicans in Audience
Which Assemblies to Hear
Bourbon Chief

OMAHA, Neb, Oct. 17.-Every seat in
the big Auditorium here was filled to-
night and standing room was in de-
mand almost an hour before the time al
which William ]. Bryan was advertised
to appear. That il was an enthusiastic
crowd and strongly favorable to the
democratic candidate was evidenced by
the prolonged demonstration that
greeted every reference to Bryan by
the speakers who preceded him.
Congressman Hitchcock OF Omaha
presented Bryan.
Bryan's qualification was evident as
he arose TO speak. He was received
with thenderous applause and it was
some time before he could secure quiet.
The candidate explained his gratitude
a what he termed this grand assem-
blage OF good democrats and repub-
hcans." and called attention to having
received their support at all times dur
ing the is years he has been In Public
life in the state.
Following the meeting Bryan declared
that, although he had spoken many
times in the big auditorium, he had
never had so large nor enthusiastic an
audience as the one which greeted him
tonight.
There was large sprinkling of re-
publlcans in the audience and two or
three times during his address ne made
reference to the fact and presented
some pointed remarks calculated for
auditors of that faith.

REPUBLICANS DENY
WALL STREET LEVY
Democratic Leader Insists That
Bankers and Brokers Have
Been Asked for Funds
Hitchcock Declares a Sworn
Statement Will Refute All
Charges of Other Side

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Nathan, Strauss,
the millionaire merchant and chairman
of the Democratic Businessmen league
IN New York, stood up in the HOFFMAN
house headquarters today and SAID
George r.. Sheldon, another millionaire
and treasurer of the republican ma
tional committee. had made statement
which he knew was not true.
Strauss said yesterday that a levy
of $500 a head had been made on the
bankers and brokers of Wall street TO
fill the Golfers of the republican ma
t.onal committee. Later in the day
Sheldon replied that the statement, ike
others made by the democratic man
ayers about the finances OF the re-
publican committee. was absolutely
false
When Strauss came TO the democratic
national headquarters today he was
SHOWN the printed reply of Sheldon.
Strauss said that when President
Roosevelt denied, four years ago, Judge
Parker's charge that the republican
party managers accepted contributions
from trusts and corporations in this
section, President Roosevelt believed he
was right The difference between
Roosevelt and Sheldon is that. whereas
Roosevelt believed he was telling the
truth. Sheldon knows that he (Sheldon)
is lying when he says what he did.
Strauss then offered to submit his
evidence about the Wall street levy"
to committee of republicans, to be
appointed by Sheldon.
The words and the def were trans
mitted to republican headquarters
within 80 minutes. Sheldon heard
Strauss charge and without culver in
his voice replied: Strauss wouldn't
say that to me-"
Chairman Hitchcock said he thought
that when the list OF republican con-
tributions was printed. 90 days after
the election, under oath. according to
the laws of New York. 1t would ''refute
all charges and insinuations made by
the other side
Sheldon said 1t certainly would and
that he had no further answer TO make
to Strauss.
