speeches.
His arguments were confined most
ly to answering the statements o:
Mr.. Taft and Governor Hughes, who
recently VISITED Nebraska.
The audiences were mostly farm
ers and the Democratic candidate
frequen tly moved them 10 loud ap
plausr.
The rcut. traversed was through
numerous Republican stronghcids.
Speakers Were Distributed.
A carload Of speakers was brought
along out of Omaha and at each
place visited one was dropped of to
complete the work of expounding
Democratic doctripe.
Mr.. Bryan accused Mr.. TAFT Of not
making the speech in Nebraska that
he had been making In other parts
of the country.
He did no, discuss the guarante.
of bank deposits he said. doubt
less because he was informed that
the people Of Nebraska are in favor
Of guaranteeing deposits.
His appeal was to the farm RS and
it was on the fact that the farmers
have had good crops and fair prices.
But did the Republican party give
you good crops? All who think that
the Republican party is responsible
for good crops should thank tn, Re-
publican party.
Credit Belongs to Almighty.
These who believe as We do that
the good crops are due to the fertility
Of the soil. 10 seasonable rains and
to the warmth OF the sunshine should
thank the Almighty"
He asked his audience IL the Re
publicans had given them high prices.
Are not agricultural prices he in
quired. AS high in Canada as they
arr here? Are not agricultural prices
as high in England as they are here!
Have not values increased in Europe
as well as In America? You must
find some cause tina. is as exits nded
as the rcsults which you are trying
to account for. and the influence OF
the Republican party is confined 70
the United States. The farmers
Should nc; BE- deceived by the argu-

10 the farmer. but h is the victim
Of all the abuses that have grown MP
under Republican rule.
