WINCHESTER. Ind. Oct. S1--Wm-
Jennings Bryan, the Democratic can
didate for president wound up his
eastern tour with IAN appeal to the
public" which follows:
las the Campaign draws to Close
certain issues stand out clearly. The
Democratic party attempts to inau-
gurate an era OF honesty In politics
by compelling the publication Of cam
paign contributions before the elec-
ton. II seeks to bring the govern
ment nearer to the people by securing
the election Of U. 8. senator's BY d.
rect vote. II seeks to restore compe-
tition through legislation which will
make a private monopoly impossible.
II seeks to reconcile labor and capt.
tai by legislation which will bring
employees and employers together In
friendly cooperation and to this end
II proposes the creation OF depart
ment of labor with q secretary In the
cabinet; an amendment TO the anti
trust law which will exclude labor or
ganizations from the operation of that
law; the limitation of the writ Of In
junction so that II will not be issued
In a labor dispute unless conditions
are such as would justify an injunc-
ton. even IL there were no labor dis
pute, and trial by jury In cases Of In
direct contempt. II seeks to secure
legislation which will create q guar
antee fund sufficient TO insure all de-
positors against losA 1t seeks to se-
cure a reduction of the tariR by grad
ual process until the tariff laws will
no longer be made in the interest OF
few and at the expense Of the rest
Of the people.
THE Democratic party appeals to
| the awakened conscience of the ma
ton and the sense of justice In the
human heart and to the growing de-
sire for brotherhood.
Offset Corrupt Senators.
With a Democratic victory for the
national ticket, with q Democratic con-
gress and the moral force Of q popu-
lar verdict. | believe we can compel
the senate to yield to the expressed
will>of the people and permit the pass
age Of the most urgent reforms.
THE Democratic party offers the
only prospect OF remedial legislation.
and while 1t does not 90 as far as
some reformers would like to go.
Democratic victory will secure a.
much of reform az In now attainable-
In fact, the only reform that II within
reach.
"The attempt TO terrorize the Ameri-
can voter by the threat Of panic
will not succeed. We have had three
panics In AZ years. and two Of these
panics came under a high tariff. and
each OF them came under Republican
presidents. Mr.. Taft says panic will
come II I am elected. Let him give
bond that this panic will 30 II he ID
elected. When he says that q Demo
cratic victory will bring panic he
expresses an opinion. When I say
that r disastrous panic came last fall
without waiting for Democratic VIC
tory I state fact that cannot be dis
puted. Our platform presents q plan
| for the restoration OF prosperity upon
a permanent basis-a prosperity In
which we all will share.
TAFT . Forced Choice.
"The Republican candidate has the
prestige that comes from the fact that
his party Is In power. He has the
aid Of an army OF offlceholders: he has
the help OF the monopolies and law
breaking trusts; he had q large cam
paign fund. the source Of which his
committee refuses to disclose. and
most OF the leading newspapers are
allied with him and the interests which
he represents. | insist that It II not
fair for the president to use his once
an Office that belongs to all the peo-
pleas IL It were a party asset or
personal asset and enter actively into
