sails Hearst. Taft and the President.

there was no secret about it and pro-
duces letters to prove that after the
government began it's attack upon the

showing Governor c. n. Haskell of
Oklahoma was prime mover of. and a
charter member in the Citizens ALI
ance, alleged to have been a secret
society organized to fight the de-
mands of union labor in Muskogec,
Okla, three years ago.
Governor Haskell recently denied
that the Citizens Alliance had ever

scented by the Tribune purport to show
the signature of C. n. Haskell attach
ed to a petition for membership and
to set of resolutions. The resolutions
are alleged to have been addressed to
business men to discourage "fanaticism

Muskogee. They are represented as
stating that 1.-The laborers through

BRYAN'S GRIEVANCE
Is That President Roosevelt Is Not
Giving Him a Square Deal.

Terre Haut, Ind. Sept 25.-Address-
ing two large gatherings here today,
William j. Bryan, Democratic candi-
date for President. reiterated his
charges that President Roosevelt was
not giving him square deal, but that
the President was using federal office
holders as a Republican asset.
His principal remarks were made at
the baseball park, where he denounced
the Republicans for their policies and
pleaded with his audience to stand to-
gethcr and elect the state and national
Democratic tickets. The second address
was made tonight from the court house
steps.
Mr.. Bryan in his remarks on the la :
Dor question, the trusts, the tariff and
publicity of campaign contributions,
infested a new feature. He conducted
an imaginary cross-eXamination of Mr..
Taft on the issues of the campaign in
which he placed Mr. Taft in the atti-
tude of finally admitting, after q good
deal OF pressure. that the Republican
platform was all wrong and unsatis-
factory to him and that the Democrat
ic platform was right The novelty of
this method of argument .created no
little amusement in the crowd.
1.-THE trouble with Mr.. Taft is he
sale. ''that while he is ashamed of his
platform he has not the courage to
come out and declare himself fully on
orr PLATFORM"
Discussing the trust. Mr.. Bryan add
ed some more corporations to the list
Of those specifically mentioned by him
as being in restraint of trade. He men
National Biscuit Co. and the so-cailed
starch trust. He dwelt on the ability of
powerful corporations to control a
campaign. "a small amount of their
profits" he declared, "will finance any
campaign and that is what leads to
the corruption of elections and the cor
ruption of official life"
Mr.. Taft's speech of yesterday in
WHICH he is quoted as saying that he
promised genuine tariff revision, was
made the subject of ridicule
The Democratic candidate reached
Terre Haut shortly before o'clock
and received a hearty welcome,
Mr. BRYAN tonight left over the Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois Railroad for
Chicago, where he is due at SAT o'clock
Saturday morning. After visit of tW"
hours at the Democratic headquarters
going first to Madison, Wis, and
thence to Milwaukee, where he Is

alive elements of the Republican party

honors, rode in the Taft special train

crowd at Davenport, after Gov. Cum
Minis had given him most hearty and
positive Endorsement in an introduce
ton:
1T is great pleasure for me to come
here and be escorted by the great men
OF Iowa. l appreciate the compliment.
The fact that my welcome is by Gov.
Curmins, Major Lacey and Congress-
Iowa is going solidly for the Republi-
can ticket and senatorship'
With his voice but q ragged ruf1le of
its former resonance, Mr.. Taft virtual
ly campaigned by hand throughout the
day and the politicians who were with
him declared him to be d mixer" of
great ability and effectiveness. In size
and enthusiasm, today's crowds even
surpassed those encountered yesterday
in Wisconsin.
In all the candidate made IS speeches
during the day. but most of them were
brief
At IS stops made on the trip the can
didate got on perfectly familiar terms
with the individual members of his au-
dience. He shook hands, he chatted
and he talked. He was called "Bill''
and told that he was all right and
would surely get there.
