Boies Penrose, of Pennsylvania members of the
Republican executive committee not being ex-
pected to become reformers because. he charged,
all of their affiliations with the trusts
Al Alton. Iowa. on the way here. he discussed
at length the tariff and the subject of guarantee
Of bank deposits. He again charged Mr.. Taft
with not being satisfied with the Republican
platform and with being forced continually to
amend it.
Discussing the question of reforms here Mr..
Bryan declared that the Republican party was not
in position to reform anything Why he asked.
Because its conspicuous me5sabers are connected
with the very things that need reform and the
Republican party cannot prosecute the gu'ity
without disgracing its most prominent meIhperS-
AS illustration. he cited the fact that the Re-
publican National Committee had selected cnalf-
man. and that that chairman had selected ms
executive committee If" he said. you Will
read the of the members of the executive
committee that are now carrying on TINS cam
paign, you will find that majority or 'hem are
conspicuous for their connection with the very
corporations that need regulation
Mr.. Bryan asserted that there were more trusts
in the United States than there were eleven
years ago Not only this he said out with the
most strenuous Republican you ever have hao IN
the White House he has not succeeded III putting
one trust magnate in the penitentiary.
The so-called International Harvester trust was
scored by the Democratic candidate VINO charged
that the Republican party had not yet attempted
TO free the country from its alleged extortions.
why have not these trusts been crushed out? he
inquired What prospect is there that they Will
be crushed under Republican rule? If MI Roose-
Welt is able to bring his party into active oppo
sition to this trust what hope have you that Mr.
Taft will do better?"
Mr.. Taft, he said. was not as strenuous as Mr-
Roosevelt Read his language he said, and
compare it with the fiery denunciatlon made In the
Presidents message of last January
On the trust question, said the Democratic candl-
date the people have hope of relief with Mr.
Taft as President, for" he added, 'he not only
does not promise you relief, but crluclSes me
severely because do promise relief
Continuing he said that Mr.. Taft not only does
not say that his party will destroy the private
monopolies but he does say that to destroy them
would destroy and extirpate business He says that
what the country needs is not determination of
trusts but regulation. He has tried regulation in
his party twelve years. and the result is that
the trusts have regulated the Republican party,
but the party has failed to regulate the trusts"
