cooperation the state will be carried
for the ticket.
A big crowd gathered TO see Bryan
and he was given an ovation when

lined At noon Bryan paid a visit TO
the state central committee head
quarters and there. in response TO a
general demand, made a short ad-

This afternoon Bryan held a gen

hundreds OF citizens greeted him. He
will leave here tonight for Grand
Forks, n, D., where he will speak
tomorrow.
Bryan was greeted by a tremend-
oous crowd at the State fair ground
this afternoon and thousands cheered
his address speech. His speech was
devoted mainly TO Republican ex-
trayagance In the administration OF
government He said that extrava-
gance Is particularly noticeable In
the army and navy.
THE imperialistic policy for which
the Republicans are responsible Is
the only excuse for the enormous
Increasing drain upon the taxpayers"
said Bryan. The reason the Repub-
leans are more extrayagant than the
Democrats is because the leaders are
more intimately associated with the
tax-eaters than the taxpayers. Also
the Republican leaders have taught
the doctrine that tax alone Is an un-
alloyed good. They. have tried TO
cultivate pnbllc opinion 20 support
the idea that tariff taxes. even when
not needed for revenue, are a diree.

Candidate Taft.

William Howard Taft, the presidential nominee of
the republican party, has been so conSpicuously
identified with the Roosevelt administration that the
public feels tolerably we'll acquainted with him.
He was born at Cincinnati, Ohio on the 18th of
September 1857 which gives him life experience of
a little more than half a century. He graduated
from Yale in 1878 and from the Cincinnati law college
in 1880 and was appointed assistant prosecuting at
torney 1881 and collector of internal revenue under
President Arthur in 1882 retiring from office year
later to begin the practice of his profession. Four
years later he appointed by Governor (now
Senator) Foraker, judge of the superior court of
Cincinnati.
In 1890 Mr.. Taft resigned his judgeship and be-
solicitor general of the United States under ap-
pointnent by President Harrison. In 1892 he re-
signed the solicitor generalship to accept appoint
ment United States circuit Judge for the sixth
judicial circuit and in 1896 was made professor and
dean of the law department of the university of Gin
cnnati
From the judgeship and the college position he
resigned in 1900 and appointed, by President
Mckinley, president of the United States Philippine
commission A year later President Mckinley ap-
pointed him the first civil governor of the Philippine
inslands and in 1904 President Roosevelt appointed
him secretary of war He will surrender the war
portfolio the 3oth of June to accept the leader
ship of the republican party as it presidential cand
date
Although Mr. Taft has been an office holder almost
continuously since the completion of his education
he has never been elected to any position within the
gift of the people. Every place of honor and trust
occupied by him has been bestowed by appointment
by higher power 1t is also worthy of mention that
Senator Foraker his most bitter opponent in his
