Taft's Speeches Do Not Fit.

Mitchell, S. D., September 2S.-Acclaim-
ed everywhere along the line OF travel
from Sioux Falls, William j. Bryan
democratic candidate for President ar
rived here at II 40 a. m. from Minneapolis
and was accorded an ovation. A great
throng was at the station In this city to
greet him on his arrival, and his ride
through Main street to the MOTEL occa-
stoned big demonstration.
Addressing a big audience short time
afterwards Mr.. Bryans remarks were
on the guarantee of bank deposits pub
licity of campaign contributions ana the
tariff. He referred to the fact that MI
Taft had explained Saturday night that
he would not deliver the speech he had
given out because he said some times
after a speech was given out, one found
that 1t did not fit the conditions,
.T am afraid" declared Mr.. Bryan,
.tbat no speech that he has will fit these
conditions in South Dakota and 1t will

which will fit republican issues here that

back to the eastern states
The democratic candidate delivered his
fourth Dakota speech at Sioux Falls at
$40 o'clock this morning. His train was

COAL CAN'T BE MOVED.
Still More Rain Is Necessary in West.
ern Pennsylvania.

Pittsburg, September 2S.-The long pro-
tracted drouth in western Pennsylvania
eastern Ohio and West Virginia is effect
ually broken The light rainfall which
began last night and continued inter-
mitte1tly during the morning was gen
eral thro .ghout the stricken territory.
During the afternoon the showers were
more frequent and at most places much
heavier and they have brought relief In
every respect, except in increasing the
volume of water in the rivers. Owing
to the earth being so parched an ex-
oeedingly heavy rainfall is necessary to
produce a boating stage and move out
the coal with which the local harbor is
glutted.N Showers continued in many
places tonight, hut there was a marked
fall in temperance and in the immediate
vicinity of Pittsburg the indications are
tagainst more rain at present.

union men.
Mr. Ridder, speaking of the duties of
his new office as collector and custo-
dian of the funds for the national DEM
ocratic campaign, said:
II will devote all my energy to COL
1ecting funds for successful cam
paign. All names of contributors and
amounts contributed will be made pub
lie on October 10. and sums received
after that date up to the close of the
campaign will be published daily"
He also said that he would obey Mr.
Bryan's instructions in refusing con-
tributions from favor seeking trusts
and corporations, and that no contribu-
tion would be accepted from a person
who expected favors in return

BRYAN viii Make Statement.

Yanlxton, S. D.. September 2S.-President
Roosevelts letter of yesterday to W. j,
Bryan, which furnished another chapter
in the recent rapid-f1re correspondence
between the two, was not read by the
democratic candidate until he arrived late
in the afternoon at Trip, small station
on the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad A newspaper was there handed
to him and at the conclusion of his speech
at that point he carefully read what Mr.
Roosevelt had to say. Mr.. Bryan, when
he had finished going over the letter, re-
marked that he would not reply to it
by letter, but would answer soon ''the
few new points it contains In a state
ment." He indicated that this answer
perhaps would be made tomorrow.
On his arrival at Yankton the demo-
cratic candidate got a hearty welcome
from a big crowd. He spoke Tor ~ min
utes from a platform erected in the mid
die of Walnut street and briefly discussed
the issues of the campaign, laying par
ticular stress on the guarantee of bank
deposits as contained in the democratic
platform.

Good Joke on Taft.

Good Joke on Taft.
Fergus Falls, Mimi, September IS
The people of Sauk Center are making
merry over what they regard as a fine
joke on Judge Taft. He had told them
that the question for the voters to de-
termine was whether they wanted to
continue a party of action in power or
place at the head OF a government a
party which had done nothing but make
misleading prophecies regarding economy
questiosn
I'VE don't want to try it," said a some-
what elderly woman in the audience
81 hope not, madame. l have no doubt
that you are the heart of a family
of sturdy men whom you control and
l rely on such intelligent ladies as you
to carry out your views" was Judge
Tafts smiling rejoinder.
When the train had started Mr. Taft
was informed by one of the local states
men aboard that it was Miss Silvia
Townsend with whom he had had the
coloquy.
Fred w. Carpenter who has been Mr.
Tafts private secretary for the last ten
years, was born and still maintains his
home at Sauk Center and in beginning
his speech there, Mr.. Taft referred to
the fact and added:
He is the best secretary a man ever
had and l got him by accident l cabled
across the Pacific from Manila on the
statement of man named Dan Will
liams who was out there that if ! secured
him l would get the best secretary in
the United States or in the Philippines
or between the two. He has been with
me for about ten years. He has not
grown any older except in service. He
is just as good today as then or even
better because he understands better now
how to control me and keeps me
straighter."
The Taft special plunged into real cold
weather as IL rushed northward and snow
was falling lightly when Mr. Taft was
making a speech at Alexandria
At Alexandria the candidate paid his
respects to Mr. Bryan. He said in part:
1T is great pleasure to me to meet
the fellow citizens of your district.
1--WE have on board this car today your
two senators, Senator Nelson and Sem
ator Clapp, and we also have on board
your next governor, Jacobson. We are
happy family because we think we
going through a state that is GER
tainly going to be republican for every
man on the ticket and it ought to be in
order to keep up the high standard
of intelligence and foresight and good
sense of the people of Minnesota. |
am quite sure that when they come to
think of the results of democratic con-
troll for lack of prosperity indeed tho
business interests and the low price or
farm products and the general business
depression which We had under four years
of democratic rule and then take up the
marvellous prosperity that we have had
in the last II years under republican
rule it will be hard to see why intelli-
gent men should hesitate as TO how to
vote
"The republican party does not pro-
pose anything that it does not carry out
1t promises laws that will give oppor-
tunity for the people of this country to
have prosperous times that will protect
the injustices that exist today for that
of the farmers will continue to give =
good market"

NIGHT BARBECUE HELD
BY TORcHLIGHT IN WOODS
Taft Makes Sixteen Speeches to Big
Crowds at the Towns In North
Dakota and Plays Havoc
With His Voice.

Fargo, N. D., September 2s-Big crowds
manifesting both interest and enthusiasm,
have surrounded the Taft party, wherever
it stopped today, in its course over the
Great Northern up through Minnesota
and North Dakota. The 16 speeches which
Taft delivered during the day and even
ing worked havoc with the splendid voice
he started out with this morning, and
tonight it is again in bad condition. They
day had two features-the Grand Forks,
y. D, meeting. and the Fargo rally to-
night In both places immense crowds
were out and in each, the candidate had
to make three speeches.
The Fargo meeting was made unique by
the striking feature of a huge barbecue.
Ten steers and 20 sheep furnished food
for the multitudes. The feast was par
ticpated in by thousands of excursionists
who had come from as far as 45o miles
distant
1t was just dark when the Taft special
reached the end of its days rum and
the people of Fargo were out in force to
extend the welcome A torchlight pro-
cession, made picturesque by the squad of
mounted cowboys with their character
istic yells, escorted the Ohioan through
the town and out to the forts, where
the barbecue was ready to serve. 1t had
been first planned that bear meat should
be part of the feast, but the two black
bears trapped some time ago and fattened
on nuts for the occasion. calmly looked
on at the feed of which they were 10
have been part. They were chained to
table near where the candidate stood
to eat his bread and meat, and drink hot
coffee from tin cup. The bears We're
| saved because of the sentiment that it
would never do to have the candidate eat
! up the real Teddy bear" as they were
designated by large sign over them.
The speaking here was done in a natur-
al amphitheatre, in a cleared place in
the woods. Log fires had been lighted
around the circle where stood the great
audience and the hundreds of torches
glare over the crowd. Mr. Taft today
discussed the labor question, tariff and
the Roosevelt policies at the various
points along his route.
Speeches were made during the day at
Grand Forks, S. D., st. Cloud. Alex
andria. Fergus Falls, Barnesville Ada
and Crookston, MINI.
Mr.. Taft left here at 1880 tonight for
night run to Wenster, S. D., where
tomorrow's work will begin.
The candidate today read with ex-
pressed satisfaction the latest utterance
or President Roosevelt in his controversy
with Mr. Bryan, but decided not to take
hand in the matter himself
