Baltimore Md, Sept. 14.-William j.
Bryan tonight, in this city before al
audience conservatively estimated at
$4,000, received an ovation. The
crowd cheered vociferously and dis
played impatience over the prelimi-
naries which included an Introductory
address by Governor Crothers, who
attacked President Roosevelt, and
charged aim with being the most ex-
travagant executive the country has
ever known.

Mr.. Bryan devoted most of his time
TO the same issues he has presented
elsewhere, but added little color by
explaining that in some of the cities
of the east the democratic party was
at disadvantage, because it not only
hacked the means of getting democratic
policies before the voters, but was
subject to misrepresentation of such
policies. He stated with emphasis
that there is nothing in the demo
cratic platform that can alarm any
legitimate interest. Among other
things he said:
The den ocratic platform differs
from the republican platform in that
our party distinctly declares what II
opposes and what it favors. When
you read the democratic platform you

The republican platform is ambigu-
