BRYAN GETS GREAT
 WELCOME IN UTICA

Utica, N. Y, October 2s.-Paying visit to Utica, the home of James s. Sherman, republican vice presidential nominee, Sil- liam J. Bryan. the democratic candidate for President, was given a great demon stration.
 Tt was one of the best meetings of the campaign" said he. upon returning to his car. The opera house, where he spoke, was inadequate to accommodate the crowd which assembled to hear him and he made an overflow tax to double the number outside. In his remarks, MT Bryan discussed the issues of the cam paign generally and put to vote several of the questions embraced in the demo- cratic platform. These included publicity before election of campaign contributions, election of senators by the people and a labor representative in the cabinet. No hand was raised when he asked if there was any one present who believed the propositions laid down in the republican platform were right. 'I will ask" said he ''the newspaper men travelling with me- to send out to the country the fact that the home of Candidate Sherman does not indorse the action of the re- publican national convention"
 Isn't it great condemnation of that convention" he asked, which so out rageously misrepresented the sentiment of the people, both republicans and demo- crats?"

TAFT DEFENDS
 THE INJUN CTION

Syracuse. N. r.. October 29.--At Ge- neva, where Judge Taft had large au- dience composed largely of those in- terested in labor, he talked half hour longer than his hours schedule per mitted. After giving the history of the writ of injunction to show that Il was a court process devised to prevent the execution of a threatened injury to property, he had this to say of the at tftude of the two parties. and of MT Bryan in the matter
 "The republican party recognizes that injunctions that are too broad have some times been issued in labor disputes That puts labor at dis advantage and therefore it ought to be discoura ged as much as possible. The party passed a resolution reauir- ing the best practice with respect to injunctlons, specifying the instances in which injunctions shall issue without notice, and offering an opportunity for the statute which shall make injunc- tions without notice operative for only 4S hours, or 56 hours, and then cease to be operative.
 MT. Bryan has not answered the questions put to him by the President on the subject, and he skips over this part of the platform with an agility and cleverness that prevents you from catching him in any declaration that is definite. But, what I say to you is, that as laymen, you are able to see that if an injunction should issue to protect property rights it should also issue to protect business rights
