BRYAN FLAYS JERSEY TRUSTS
Nebraskan Says State Will Pay Dearly
For Fostering Them.

Newark, n. j., Feb. with an adj
dress to $500 persons crowded into
Kurz's coliseum in this city, William
Jennings Bryan wound up his tour in
this section of the country. He will
start today for Canada, and on the
way he will speak in Albany and
Schenectady. On Lincoln's birthday
he will make speech in Buffalo. Then
he will return to Nebraska. He spoke
to 5000 persons In Jersey City and
about 1000 in Passaic. besides the
crowd In Newark. In all Of his meet
ings he fiayed New Jersey for fostering
the trusts that went out and preyed on
the rest of the country. Speaking of
Taft, he referred to him as the heir
apparent of the Roosevelt throne"
Bryan charged the Republican party
had sold the government TO the high
est bidder and that the punishment
was about to be administered by the
people.
Bryan was severe in his scolding of
New Jersey on the trust question, say
ing:
Here in New Jersey you have had
experience In organizing trusts TO prey
upon the rest of the country. You
thought to evade the punishment, but
you will reap the bitter results. Be
fore this panic is over you will pay
500 for every dollar your state has
made by organizing trusts. 1t is time
you learned honesty here in New Jer-
sey."

of force. He said he was certain
the monarchial regime in Portugal
would die out peacefully within q
few years. There would, however,
be no violence. In this age, he said,
ballots are mightier than bullets
