TWAIN today he5 declared, "because
the Republicans have failed to give re-
forms. The settlement of the trust
question was settled in the platform of
1890. At that time we demanded that
1T was just as right to punish a big
criminal as little criminal and de-
maanqqed that the big criminal should be
PUNISHED quicker. The president has
made the same demand repeatedly dur
ing the last feWiyears, but, I want to say
to you that he has not been able to
send one trust magnate to the peni-
tertiary. With all the impetus given
to the antitrust movement by the presi-
dent the senate has been able to defeat
levery effort to carry on this fight. The
president has been tied hand and foot.
He IS entitled to the credit for holler-
ling. If a man is tied hand and foot by
a lot of highwaymen he hasn't any
chance to do anything, but there is one
thing certain and that is that he should
| be given credit for hollering" Bryan
declared that the senate had stood as
stone wall against trust legislation
and he gained the biggest applause of
the speech when he declared that Sen
Iator LaFollette Of Wisconsin had been
1.-THE only real apostle of reform in
Washington and that he had been forced
| to look for his support not in the ranks
Of the Republicans, but in the ranks of
Democracy.
Taft he reclared had gone backward
lin his declaration in regard to trust
| legislation and had insisted that the law
! be amended SO as to make only 'Eunrea-
Isonable" trusts punishable under the
law. The speaker declared that such
an amendment would destroy the entire
effect Of the law and that such law
would be just as reasonable as a law
which would regulate the number Of
burglars who would be permitted to
enter house in Kenosha.
"What chance is there for trust legis-
lation at the hands of Republican ad-
Iministration," shouted Mr.. Bryan.
"You see what they have done in the
last eleven years and is there any rea-.
son to believe that they will do any
more in four years more. The birth rate
| in the trust family has been much
greater than the death rate and the
TRUST family is one that meets all the
measures of the standard of the presi-
dent in his anti-race suicide campaign.'
| Mr.. Bryan spoke Of tariff reform and
declared that there were just two times
when the Republicans were in favor of
| tariff reform. One he said was before
| election and the other just after election
land that the party would never act be-
fore the election because that would
ljeopardize the election and not after
| the election because the scare was then
lover He ridiculed the action of
Secretary Taft in declaring that he
was in favor of special session
iof Congress to be called for the
fourth of next March after the
Inaugural to pass on the tariff question
land stated that Fairbanks had raised
him four months by declaring in favor
Iof special session after election in
November. "Both,' he declared care
lin favor of putting it off until after
election. -
He spoke Of the Standard Oil fine, Of
the unfair tariff on oil now being
charged by the government, and then
launched into discussion of the work
Of the president.
ct appreciate as much as any one
what the president says, ;" continued the
speaker, F'I endorse what is good and
denounce what is bad The president
has spoken and we are grateful for it,
but all the reform that has been accom-
Ipllshed amounts pretty nearly to a
Icypher. The Republican party has not

demanded, but when the people get in
Iearnest and turn over the matter to the
men who have started all reform move
ments then and then only will there be
something accomplished. He spoke of
regulation Of railways and declared that
President Roosevelt had found the man
date for his recent actions against the
railways in Democratic and not Re-
publican platform. He declared that
the time had come to stop the issue of
bogus and fictitious stocks and that it
was to the welfare of the people as well
as the stockholders of the great com
|panies to prevent the juggling with the
stock market in such way as to en-
danger the industrial life of the whole
nation. He. declared that in the hearts
OF the people there was no. intention to
interfere with any legitimate business
or to jeopardize any legitimate and hon
est investment, but that the tin 2 had
come when it was no longer necessary to
exploit this. great nation and it's indus
