Terre IIaute, Ind, Sept 2G-Ad-
dressing TWO large audiences here
yesterday, William Jennings Bryan,
Democratic candidate for presiden.,
reiterated his charge that President
Roosevelt was not giving him n
square deal. but that the president
was using federal ofhceholders as a
Republican asset.
His principal remarks were made
az the baseball park, where he de-
nounced the Republicans for their
policies and pleaded with his audi
ence TO stand together and elect the
state and national Democratic tick

last night from the court house

ventures to approach this matter. =
This appeal is altogether perti-
nent, timely and proper 1t pro-
ceeds from a newspaper which is
n staunch supporter OF Mr.. Taft
and is precisely i'm line with admo-
nitions to tho Republican candidate
which have ifeiegr.,, Uttered by
other Repubn,a.-
The New York Journal Or
merce. The New York Post and the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. This
character of criticism is doubtless
quite humillating to Mr.. Taft. Ger
tainly 1t should be. AS the duly
avouched exponent of his pamy's
creed-as It's commander in chief i'm
the present fight. he is supposed to
be not only we'll Informed upon cur
rent political issues, but to be wary
lest by misleading and vulnerable
statement he thoroughly discredits
himself as fair and reliable dis
putant. He Is nevertheless grossly
careless when referring to the Dem
ocratic position-careless we mean
with reference to facts which he
ought 10 know and which in any
event are easily ascertainable. And
his own political friends are not
mincing words in telling him so.
The Times asks him as "honora-
BILE man" to be more circumspect in
the future as to the simple matter
OF telling the truth, and 1t is to be
hoped that the request will be heed
ed. Thus far in the campaign, he
has been guilty of inaccuracies in
statement and errors OF conclusion,
to a degree that is altogether aston
ishing.

bank guaranty project and other
financial issues in the foreground
the coming convention cannot fal
to. be of general interest to the
country at large and will doubtless
produce many interesting discus
sious OF financial matters. The re-
cent panic, It's causes and enoc.s.
will also provide topic for CON

attention.

called on TO make only two speech

In his speech at indianapolis, Mr..
Bryan said:
