BRYAN DECLAR
TAFT'S PLATFORM
OBNOXIOUS
NEBRAskAN ADDRESSES VAST
THRoNGS AS WEST ViRGINIA's
GUEsT-LAYs STRESS ON ANTI
INJUNCTION PLANks.

WHEELING. w. Va, Sept. 12.-Wil-
litm Jennings Bryan, the Democratic
candidate for president. yesterday
and last night was West Virginia's
guest. royal welcome was accord
ed him as his private car "Olivette."
containing himself and party and a
big reception committee. crossed the
Ohio river and entered this city.
The river front was a mass OF hui
mainly and as Democracy's leader
stepped foot on West Virginia soil he
was cheered TO the echo. His car was
stopped directly in front OF the hotel,
but SO great was the crowd that even
the combined efforts OF the police
could not prevent him from being
forced to struggle his way through.
Speaking to a multitude OF persons
on the very shore OF the river itself
and with the state OF Ohio directly OPP
posite, Mr.. Bryan pointed out the diff
ferences In the two platforms and
made a plea for Democratic support.
He made frequent reference to Mr.,
Taft and told his audience that the
Republican candidate was conducting
his campaign on a platform so obnox-
ious to him that he was forced to con-
tinually patch IL up with amendments
OF his own. Much stress was laid on
the labor and anti-injunction planks Of
the Democratic platform, his remarks
on this subject being applauded by
many unemployed workmen from the
Ohio steel plants In this vicinity.
Climax Of Eventful Day.
The visit to Wheeling was the eli
max OF an eventful day In Ohio. the
native state OF Mr.. Taft. From the
time the Democratic candidate left
Columbus, early in the morning, until
he crossed the Ohio river into West
Virginia. the crowds which gathered
along the line of travel made insist
ent demands for his appearance and
to talk to us little"
At Steubenville large crowd gath
cred, and from a railroad truck be-
side the track, while his car was be-
ing shifted to another train, Mr.. Bry-
an addressed them. AS he had done
at other points In the state, he hurled
shafts OF ridicule at Mr.. Taft. whose
speeches, he declared, had darkened
rather than Illuminated the subjects
which compose the Republican plat
form.
Mr.. Bryan put to his audience these
questions How many of you believe
that United States senator's should be
elected by direct vote of the people?
How many of you believe that we
ought to have a publication of cam
paign contributions, that Is. above
reasonable minimum, before election 2
A sea OF hands went up. NOW"
said Mr.. Bryan, by your vote you
have declared that you stand on the
Democratic platform instead of on the
Republican platform"
Altogether the receptions OF the
Democratic candidate In Ohio and In
this city were among the notable hap
penings OF the campaign.

STATE FAIR GREAT
SUCCESS; 100000
ATTENDED
HOMECOMING FEATURES TO BE
ADDED TO NEXT YEARS SHOW
SURPLUS To BE PUT INTO I'M.
PRovEMENTs.

State fair week may be homecoming
week for wandering Detroiters next
year. The management OF the Michi-
gan Agricultural society Is considering
the idea and may carry into effect In
1909.
Other cities and towns have had
homecoming weeks for years but De-
troit has never adopted the idea. Cit
les as large as Boston have made one
time In the year a season OF return
for absent sons and daughters. VINO
can then renew old acquaintance and
90 away to spread anew the doctrine
OF patriotism for the home town. There
is no occasion so truly Detroit anair
as the big annual fair and therefore
that is the time likely TO be chosen.
Friday the fair Of 1908 came TO an
end. II was bigger. better and more
successful In every way than any pre-
vious fair and the paid admissions to-
tailed 5000 with net profit or $bO,-
600 as against a paid attendance OF
2S6 900 and much smaller profits the
previous year. This success insures
permanency and the directors Will this
winter cinsider plans for q series OF
improvements which will make the
fair one Of the best permanent exposl-
lions in the country.
Fridays crowd was small In COM
parison TO that OF other days ana the
exhibitors waited not on the order OF
their going when the clocks struck the
hour OF 4 in the afternoon. but set TO
IN oh
personal property. In the main build
ing a group OF demonstrators and ex'
hibitors gathered and sang songs for
half hour or more.
The Midway was scene OF desola-
ton before nightfall. Tents came down
and the show people hustled to get
things ready for the fitting to the
next fair. Grand Rapids will get most
OF them.
There was the usual chapter or III
ness and accidents for Abt's hospital
tent TO look out for. Col. Mundy. the
animal Snowman, was taken III with
pneumonia. Mrs. Anna Tucker, OF De-
troit. was attacked by severe case
of Mysteries. One Of the supers or
the Spelman show fell 25 feet from a
ladder but got away with slight
bruises.

had prize grapes.
All Friday night and Saturday morn
ing the truckmen were busy hauling
away goods that had been on exhibit
ton and by Saturday noon the fair
grounds were nearly deserted, and had
been cleaned up to partially resemble
their normal state.

PAIL OF SMOKE
IS OVER DETROIT
CHANGE IN WIND BRINGS
sMUDGE DOWN FROM FOREST
FIRE DISTRICT.

A pail of smoke blown down from
the forest fires of the north has hung
over Detroit since Friday afternoon.
Friday night there was a continuous
sound OF bells and fog whistles on
the river as the boats piled through
the smoke. Saturday morning the
sun rose as q disc Of red
Until q south wind comes to blow
II away, the smoke will hang over the
city. II swept In like a thick fog
bank from Lake st. Clair, having been
blown down from the upper end OF
Port Huron.
Lake travel has been largely i'm
peded during the past few days by
the dense smoke that has hung over
the lake from Mackinac to the Thumb
and fresh density has been added TO
the volume by new forest and peat
fires that have broken out near Inlay
City and Lapeer.
There was red moon Thursday
evening. due TO the first thin clouds
OF smoke. Friday night the moon
was further obscured. The smoke
was thicker upon the water than on
shore and II was fortunate indeed that
there were no marine accidents, as
all boats were feeling their way
through the haze as best they could.
1t Is many years since forest fires
have so clouded the atmosphere. The
severest incident of the kind was In
the autumn Of 1881 when the city was
practically in darkness because Of the
dense smoke
