can change Mr.. Taft's attitude on
this question, or make that attitude
more acceptable 10 the wage esrners.
"Mr. Taft's position ON the trust
question Is not changed by the pres

himself has not succeeded In putting
any trust magnates 10 the peniten.
tiary and only few OF the trusts
have been disturbed. II Mr.. Taft is
no more successful than the president
In bis attack on the trusts, he will
not satisfy the expectations of the
public. There are more trusts In the
country today than there was when
Mr.. Roosevelt was inaugurated,
and Mr.. Taft favors a weakening
rather than strengthening of the
antitrust law, for he has advocated
an amendment that will limit the
operation of the law to unreasonable
restraint Of trade.
"On the tariff question Mr.. Taft
has failed to express himself with
clearness. The republican platform
does not use the word reduction
1t only promises revision, and Mr..
= Taft has construed that to mean thai
some schedules will lowered ant
some raised, but there Is no intima
ton that the average will be lowe

In these words, William ]. BRYAN
summed up his opinion of the letter
OF President Roosevelt commentators
OF Mr.. Taft, soon after the democratic
caholoate arrived In this city.
1T was expected, of course, said
Mr.. Bryan, "that President Roosevelt,

that he elected him as the admins

would be interesting to know from
Mr.. Roosevelt what he knew of Mr.

will do.

Bryan Receives 90 Ovation Il Baltimore aud AOOaOoI, S.a0m
tqudled N Ipeh Alstov.

Baltimore, Md, Sept. ia.-William
BRYAN, democratic candidate for
nresident, today for second time
claimed the attention OF the voters
of Maryland. He spoke twice, the
first time at Annapolis, where he
discussed the issues Of the Campaign,
and tonight Ia this city In the Fifth
regiment armory before an audience
which is conservatively estimated as
exceeding 25. 900 persons. Mr.. Bryan
received an ovation seldom equalled
In this city.
When he stepped to the front of
the platform the crowd rose en- masse
cbeered and waved flags the band the
while playing "Dixie." Upon order
being restored Mr.. Bryan, giving
every evidence OF his pleasure at the
demonstration, began his remarks.
He devoted most OF his time to a
discussion of the same issues that he
has presented elsewhere. He stated
With emphasis that there was nothing
in the democratic platform that need
alarm any legitimate interest.
Among other things he said:
1.-The democratic platform differs
from the republican platform in that
our party distinctly declares what it
opposes and what it favors. When
YOU read the democratic platform,
YOU know exactly what to expect, fol
the two candidates are pledged to the
platform. You not only know what
the platform includes, but you know
that it excludes everything else. The
republican platform is ambiguous anc
uncertain. When you get through
reading 1T you are in the dark as tC
what the president will do
Mr.. Taft, he said, had already
amended this platform in severa
particulars, but none knew whal
other amendments he might add be
fore the election and what addition Sht
might make to 1t after the election
When anyone came to construe TIT
republican platform, he said, gues
sing contest was entered into and NJ
one could tell whose guess was near
est the truth. President Roosevelt
he declared, was elected upon sim.
liar platform
"And as his platform promised
nothing In particular, he felt at lib
erty to recommend a number o
things which the republican leader.
objected TO-" The result was, b,
said, constant conflict between tn,
executive and congress.
LAS the republicans do not presen
neutrality-suspicious., he asserted"
republican victory could not be con
strued as a declaration In favor O
any particular reform or against an.
existing abuse"
He said that Maryland by right wa
democratic state and tnat no demo
crat could find In the Denver plat
form an excuse for voting the repub
lican ticket. But" he said, IRE

that have grown up under republican
rule can find a reason for Joining witt

THE sPIKING OF CANNON.

Ordinarily u presidential candidate
would hardly be expected TO stop, In
the middle Of his campaign, to give
to the American people detailed
account of his financial condition.
Ordinarily a candidate would not be
called Old to take this course; there
would be no occasion for 1t. The
people Of this country are strongly
inclined to take II for granted that,
whatever other failings presidential
candidate may have, he Is good
citizen and an honest man.
When Mr.. Bryan In his speech at
Olney, Ill.,. departed from discus
sion OF the issues OF the campaign TO
take up a discussion Of his own bank
account, 1t was Only after such provo
cation as would impel any self.res-
pecting man to the same course. Re.
publican leaders have gotten into the
habit Of abusing and maligninR Mr..
Bryan; OF telling the most prepos-
ferrous lies about his alleged wealth
and the manner In which he has ac-
quired IL. IL has been peculiar and
noticeable fact, moreover, that the
republican politician who is the most
lavish tool OF "the SYSTEM" the re.
republican newspaper or periodical
that is most notoriously subsidized
TO be a special pleader for "the sys-
tem," has been most viruleDt and
reckless In slandering Mr.. Bryan In
this regard.
Defying the wisdom OF the old add
age, every republican politician who
lives In a glass house has taken 10
throwing stones. and the more glass
In his house the bigger the stones be
threw.
When Joseph G Cannon, speaker OF
the house Of representatives, and the
most EN- nent and influential repub'
lician leader In the country next L

rock pile, the point was reached
