an interview today on the journey
from baltimore to this city, issues an.
otler challenge TO Mr.. Tiff. his Re
publican opponent, He read Mr.. raft's
u'terancss, printed this morning At d
dictated retort which is In part
l follows.
/ "Mr. Taft is lodging. Instead Of de-
filming his position en- public questions,
he is inquiring about my record, aud
in his inquiry he shows that he knows
as little about my record as he does
about the public questions which he
has attempted TO discuss. II accuses
me OF being changeable and Of aban-
doning issues
Mr.. Bryan sa;d he has been tariff
reformer for twenty years, and has
been favoring an income tax for fouss
teen years, and Mr.. Taft Is only new
coming around to his position on
these questions.
Continuing, he said:

ought TO have their Independence. Mr..
Taft this year admitted that the peo-
pile must ultimately have independ-
ence. have maintained my position.
have also discussed the Philippine
question In this campaign and called
attention to the fact that Mr.. Taft
made a mistake Of $4,000, 900 In his
estimate Of the cost Of imperialism.

expressed himself az strongly AZ I
have. He has said, and the preside NJ
also has said, that government owner
skip will follow If the railroads pre-
vent regulation. hope that the rail-
roads will permit regulation. Our po-
sition only differs In that he has more
faith than have in the Willingness Of
the railroads to be regulated.
"Hs spends some time on the money
question. The msney question has been
taken out Of politics because the unex-
pected discoveries of gold have given
the increase which was demanded by
the Republican party as well as by the
Democratic party.
"Mr. Taft cannot escape from the
issues. viii he define his position on
the tariff question, on the labor ques-
ton, on the trast question and on the
other issues that are presented In this
campaign? He will not be permitted
to run away from them.
IF be prefers to delve into the past,
rather than meet the issuing Of the
present, will he explain the Benguet
railroad in the Philippines and the
perpetual franchises that he wanted to
fasten upon The Philippines with per.
petual guarantee Of income to the cor
porations ACQUIRING the franchises?
Will he explain in his record on the
labor question and his silence on the
tariff question aud the trust question
during his official service at Washing
