lie was on the rear of the car ahead Of
the Taft car. when he was called upon by
a large crowd to say something. All that
they could understand was this comparison
between Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft:
Bryan went around the world to learn
how TO run the American government and
came back to find his own ideas repudiated.
Our candidate went around the world to
show the rulers of other countries how
to run a government" The governor was

committees were picked UP and carried to
their home towns.
The first speech of the day was at Crete.
Mr.. Taft started in with his voice in much
better condition. At Wilbur he was
greeted by some 1900 or 1000 people and he
especially talked to the Bohemians, who
constitute a large part Of the population
of that town. The crowd at Dewitt about
duplicated that at Wilbur and was just as
intensely enthusiastic. At Beatrice there
was held the largest meeting Of the day.

opposite side Of the platform and in
troduced as "our next president by
Samuel Rinaker. Here school had been
dismissed and the crowd numbered into the
thousands. He talked for about fifteen
minutes there. At B%urchard, which was
not on the schedule, Mr.. Taft was greeted
by a good size crowd. Every one wore
a long Yale blue ribbon inscribed"Taft
and Sherman"
Farmers Turn Out.
/ TT Table Rock horses hitched to wagons
and buggies were in sufficient number to-
indicate that hundreds of farmers had
come in to attend the meeting. Humboldt
contributed a big crowd but the train did
not stop. Mr.. Taft was on the platform
and waved to the people.
The depot at Falls City doomed up with
the familiar banner. Nebraska for Taft
Farm wagons were also conspicuous there
and the train was ushered in with a
mighty 'Hurrah for Taft" given by a
crowd numbering many hundreds. Stella
showed up with a crowd as the train
passed through without stopping.
The train stopped several hundred yards
from the station at Auburn and several
thousand people had to make a grand
rush for the rear car to hear the candi-
date. This crowd seemed to constitute
the entire population Of the town.
Enthusiasm Il Great.
Then came Nebraska City, where Secre-
tary Hayward left the train. The speaking
here was from a platform and many hun
dred cheered when Will Hayward hove
in sight and cheered again and again when
the presidential candidate was presented.
At Union and Plattsmouth good crowds
we're at the stations and the candidate
made short talks and received long cheers.
Pawnee City was where the red hot
cheering occurred. Harry Lindsay intro
duced Mr.. Taft to his Nome folks and they
were so pleased with his introduction and
the ak of the candidate that they chcered
and yelled and for all the Taft train
knows they may be cheering yet. II was
at this town that Mr.. Taft proved himself
a good mixer by following the lead and
eomplimenting the crowd on its good looks,
and he kept it mp until he had included
the entire state in the compliment
Chairman eKifer OF the republican state
committee, who accompanied the train on
it's Thursday trip, said last night:
II am gratified at the intense enthusiasm
created By Mr.. Taft. Hs has made good
in Nebraska. The people who heard him
talk we're certainly impressed favorably.
The republicans are wide awake and Will
do their duty in November
