of the republican party? Can any re- publican be so blind as not to under stand what a republican victory means? ? Do you understand now why Mr. Taft is not willing that their contributions shall be published Before the election? Do you understand now why it is that the congressional committee of the re- publican party won't agree to publish its contributions even after the cleo ton? We have published ours: we have told you where our money was coming from we have taken you into our con fdence because our money Is coming from the people who are helping to fight this battle because it is their bat tie. More than 50.00O democrats have voluntarily contributed to our cam paign fund, and l would rather be elected President by the aid of 50.000 democrats, each giving a little, than to be elected President by the contribu- tions of a few great trust magnates and then have them come to the back door of the White House and tell me what I must do in order to pay them back"
 Tilt With Hearer.
 MT. Bryan was comparing the platforms of the republican and democratic parties on the tariff question and laid great stress on the fact that the democrats were de- manding reduction while the republicans promised revision. This led to a hot dialogue between man in the crowd perched on the seat of a wagon and the democratic candidate.
 How will reduction of the tariff help the unemployed?" he asked. You are republican?n Mir. Bryan inquired, and what is your name' he asked.
 Never mind that; answer the ques- l ton"
 That, said MT Bryan. gives you i fair sample of his idea of justice. TIe knows who I am but I have no right to know who he is'' 'I made 127 speeches for you all over l the United States but you answer my 1 question"
 Well, sir, you ought to be making | are"
 ! Answer my question:"
 The crowd by this time began to hiss and cried, Go ahead MT. Bryan'
 Well, my friends" said the democratic candidate, If he is ashamed to tell you he ought not be out making speeches When man goes to another mans meet ing and asks a position he ought to be man enough to tell who he is"
 Whats that got to do with it; you cannot answer. Why does not your plat form answer the unemployed proposi- tion?"
 Unemployed Problem. 1 My friend, give me your attention" :" 1 said MT Bryan "He wants to know | about the unemployed problem. I be- leve that the unemployed problem is due to the fact that there is an unfair | distribution of the wealth created and | when we try to remedy the evil that man helps to elect a republican to keep this unemployed problem before the coun- l try"
 The crowd wildly cheered. burly man 1 trying in the meantime to haul the dis turber out of the crowd.
 Continuing MT Bryan said:
 My platform mentions remedies and it mentions all the remedies that are within reach. We say elect senator's by the people and let the senators be re- sponsible to the will of the people We say destroy the trusts and open the door of opportunity and give the young man a chance in this country. We say take the extortion out of the price that the trusts have put into 1t and people can then buy more goods and there will be a chance for more peo- pie to be employed in the making of the goods that the people can buy. We say lessen the expense of the government and leave money in the pockets of the peo- pie. We say lower the tariff and take the burdens off the consumers. We say pro- tect the savings of the people in the banks. These are some of the methods we have of giving employment to the un- employed
