 Sioux City. Ia.. Sept 2--Addressing . Democratic rally here tonight. Will liam J. Bryan. Democratic candidate for the Presidency, denounced Coleman DuPont. of Delaware. and Senator Boies Penrose. of Pennsylvania. mem. bers of the Republican Executive Com &mittee, as not being expected to be- come reformers, because. he charged, all of their affiliation was with the trusts.
 Having travelled the entire night and day through Minnesota and a part of Iowa, where he received enthusias- tic receptions, Mir. Bryan arrived here shortly before 8 o'clock tonight. From the rear platform of the train at va rious points. he shook hands with hundreds of persons and made several talks. At. Alton, Ia., a junction point he discussed at length the tariff and the subject of guaranty bank deposits. He again charged Mir. Taft with not being satisfied with the Republican platform and with being forced to con finualiy amend it.
 During a two hour stay in St. Paul. between trains. Mir. Bryan took break fast in an uptown cafe. which he reached after a brisk walk. On the way back. he observed in a music store. that the stock included phono-s graphic records of his speech on guar anty of bank deposits and of Mir. Taft's on injunctions in labor dis putes. He entered the place. and at his request both records were repro duced. His remarks were heard first, and as the last word died away. he smilinsiy remarked: T am now con- vinced.-
 LustiIy Cheered.
 At the station here to meet the Ne- braskan. were Mayor Sears. State Committeeman Beck, Former Mayor Quick. Judge Van WaEonen and many other leading Democrats. No sooner did the crowd catch a glimpse of him as he aiighted from the train that he was Justify cheered by several thous- and people. The cheering continued as he rode to the hotel. He will depart at 5 o'clock in the morning for Lincoln. travelling to Omaha via the Chicago and Northwestern and the balance of the way over the Burlington. reach- ing home at 1o;s0 o'clock.
 Discussing the question oL reforms. Nr. Bryan declared that the SRepubli- aan Party was not in 8 position to re- form anything.
 awhy3" he asked Because It's con- spicuous members are connected with the very things that need reform and the Republican Party cannot prose- cute the guilty without disgracing it's most prominent members.''
 As an illustration. he cited the fact that the Republican National Commit ke had selected a Chairman and that Chairman has selected his Executive Committee
 of the Executive Committee that are now carrying on this campaign, you will nnd that majority of them are conspicuous for their connection with the very corporations that need regu- latinH. One of them. Mir. DuPont of Delaware. is today the defendant in a in af a anti-trust law. brought by the United States Government. and which is still pending. Mir. DuPont is defendant in the action. and yet he is on the Exec utive Committee to carry on the Re- publican campaigns and the Chairman of the Speakers Bureau of that Com- mittee.
 Now" he said, q want to ask do you think that Mir. Dupont is in a good position to pick out speakers and train them as to what they shall say? Do you expect any speakers to mention the Government suit against the powder trust if the, speaker Is picked out and instructed by one Of the defendants in the easel Do you expect Mir. Penrose of Pennsylvania, who has been inti- mately connected with all the great corporations of his State. to become a reformer? And yet he is, and one of the Executive Committee to carry on the Republican campaign"
 MT. Bryan asserted that there was more trusts now In the United States than there were eleven years ago.
 Not only this" he said, hut with the most strenuous Republican you ever have had in the White House, he hgs not succeeded in putting one trust mag note in the penitentiary.
 Scores Harvester Trast.
 The so-called International Harvester Trust was scored by the Democratic candidate who charged that the Re- publican Party had not yet attempted to free the country from A.s alleged extortions.
 why have not these trusts been crushed out?" he inquired. What prospect is there that they will be crushed under Republican ruler If MT. Roosevelt is not able to bring his party into active opposition to this trust what hope have you that Mir. Taft will do betterT
 MT Taft, he said, was not as stren- uous as MT. Roosevelt.
 "Read his language" he said, and compare 1t with the fiery denunciation made in the President's message of last January"
 "on the trust question" said the Democratic candidate. "the people have m hope of relief with MT. Taft as president, for he said. "it not only does not promise you relief but criticizes me severely because I do not promise you relief"
 He declared that every private mos nopoly ought to be dissolved and that cornpetition ought to be restored In order that the people may have the hAneft of that competition.
 Continuing. Mir. Bryan said that MT. Ts1t not only does not say that his par- tv will destroy the private monopoly. but he does say that to destroy 1t would destroy and extirpate business. He ssvs that what the country needs Is not extermination of trusts. but regu- Istion. He has tried regulation In his nartv for twelve years. and the result is that the trusts have regulated the tsiisa to regulate the trusts.
