Il can speak nly briefly to you. as
J have 2 lorsll,4seeeh to make In
size, SAID Mr.. fryatI LET me call
your attention to the marked differ
ence between the republican platform
and ours. The republican platform is
different especially in not outlining
necessary legislation, our platform
tells the public what we think should
be done. We take the people into our
confidence and thus We show not only
our faith in the merits of our policies
put also In the intelligence of the vot-
ers.
Now, there are four propositions as
TO labor for which we stand First.
we believe that there should be a de-
partment of labor, with a cabinet Of
ticer at its head.
Second, we believe that labor
should be taken out Of the operation
Of the trust law
Third, we believe that an industrial
dispute should not be sufficient cause
ior the issuance of an injunction
Fourth, we believe In trials by Jury
IN cases of indirect contempt"
A man who claimed to be union
IRON worker here attracted the atten-
tion of Mr.. Bryan and asked him IL
II were true that he used the express
sion that organized workmen were a
lot OF beggars when he was I'm con-
gresS.

Sanized labor the man added.
NO, you do not" shouted Mr. Bry-
an. my record is well enough
known that no representative of or
ganized labor would have to ask me
such a thing
Did you, or did you not use that
expression" insisted the man.
Mr.. Bryan said: Il shall not under
take now or at any other time to an
swer any and every statement that
may be made by those who are trying
TO help the republican party keen in
power until they get an Endorsement
from the republican party or its rep
resentatives"

briefly introduced the democratic can

When quiet was restored after ten
minute demonstration, Mr.. Bryan be-
gan his speech He took as his sub
iect Republican Tendencies" and
said in part.
Parties are to be measured not
merely by the things actually done.
but by their tendencies Since II Is
easier to remedy evils In the Begin
ming than after they are full-grown.
II Is important to know the tenden-
cies Of parties as well as to know how
far they have gone. | desire tonight
to call attention to some OF the ten
denotes Of the republican party.
Take, for instance, the matter of
extravaganza in expenditures. The
tendency OF the republican party Is to
increase the expenditures Of the gov
ernment out Of all proportion to the
Increase I'm the population. AT the
first session Of the present congress
their appropriations exceeded bill
lion dollars This Is twice the appro-
prlatlons Of a session OF the flfty-first
congress. which was the highest APP
preparation known up 70 that time
