Bryan Urges Aroused People
To Turn Light On
DARKNESS CONCEALS THEIR PLANS
Shows Mortgages IL is Making Be-
fore Election to Corporate Inter-
ests to Betray People. Pitt
less ExcoriatiOn.

Denver, Colo.-Wm. J. Bryan,
Democratic candidate for president,
was the guest of this city for several
hours Saturday, and was given a
most cordial reception. In spite of
threatening storm, accompanied by
f1tful rain, great crowds lined the
streets through which the candidate
rode to the Auditorium, where he
delivered the principal speechmaking
outlined for him.
Mr.. Bryan took for his text, Let
There Be Light" and said in part:
The Republican policies are with
out form and void. Darkness con-
ceals their plans. The awakened con-
science of an aroused people calls
out Let there be light
What evils are marshaled behind
the Republican ticket? What debts
are being contracted? What mortg-
ages are being given? Let there be
light.
The Democratic committee has
set the example. For the first time
in our national history, national
committee has taken the nation into
its confidence and rive forth list of
its contributors. This is in the inter-
est of honest politics and honest gov
eminent. 1t opens a new era. Will
the Republicans dare to defy a uni
versal sentiment and maintain the
secrecy that has given predatory
wealth it's hold upon the govern
ment?
The Republican national conven-
ton deliberately voted down a plank
pledging publicity and the Republi-
can candidate insists the contribu-
lions should not be made known UNI
til after election.
1--WE demand the election of sena-
tors by the people and this is in the
interest Of honest government. Let
senatorial elections be held in the
daylight and not behind closed doors
In secret caucuses, where corrupt in
fluences can cheat the people out of
representation.
The public demands light on the
tariff Question. The Republican plat
form deals in generalities. The lam
guage employed may mean anything
or nothing and the speeches of their
candidates intensifies the gloom that
the convention threw over the states.
What does the Republican party
intend to do with the trusts? Let its
plans be stated. Let it's remedies be
made known. Let there be light on
this question also. We have seen one
OF the greatest of the trusts obtain
ing legislative permission to absorb
rival. Is this to be continued as
settled policy of the Republican par
ty? 1t is not sufficient to find fault
with Democratic remedies. What is
the Republican remedy? The people
are entitled to know.
What is the Republican party go
ing to do on the labor question?
Here again, there is need of light.
The Republican party claims to be
the friend Of labor. Let it define the
friendship that it intends to show.
If it is going to oppose needed labor
legislation, let it boldly declare it
and not betray the toler with kiss"
Mr.. Bryan touched on the Philip
pine question as we'll as the recent
panic, asking what the Republican
party was going to do to restore
confidence along these lines.

payers, to Pearl River county, be-
ing a strip in the northwest part of

confusion was demonstrated when

when certain assessments against
ahe Western Union Telegraph Com
Sany were credited to Hancock coun-

sessments being on property or priv
