PLATFORMS OF THE
PARTIES COMPARED
ROOSEVELT'S ACTION IN SELECT
ING HIS SUCCESSOR is
CONDEMNED.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 22-The most
sensational development in the present
campaign was the sending today by
date for president, of a telegram to
President Roosevelt demanding that he
produce proof that Governor, Charles N.
Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the
Democratic national committee, ever
was connected with the Standard Oil
company.
Selling upon the opportunity thus af-
forded. Mr.. Bryan took occasion to
serve notice on the president that he
would not permit any responsible mem
Der of the Republican Organization to
misrepresent the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party in the present campaign
and. further. that the Democratic party
was making an honorable and honest
fight in defense of its principles and
policies. and that il expected and de-
manded fair and honorable treatment
from those in charge of the Republican
campaign.
Took No Rest.
Copies of the telegram were given out
for publication just before Mr. Bryan's
departure for Ann Arbor late in the
afternoon. The program of the local
committee included an opportunity for
Mr. Bryan TO take a long rest in the
forenoon, but the statement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt published this morning
in which the president endorsed the
charges made against Governor Has
kell by w. r. Hearst, that Governor
Haskell had been connected with the
Standard OIL company and had at
tempted to bride Attorney General
Frank Monet of Ohio, was sufficient to
cause him to forego that much-needed
luxury and devote himself to the SUBJ
Ject of preparing reply. He called to
his assistance John f. Lamb of Indi-
ana, Edwin o. Wood, national commit
teeman from Michigan, and several 9TH
ers OF the Democratic leaders. and also
held lengthy conferences over the long
distance telephone with New York and
Chicago. Altogether. Mr.. Bryan con-
stunned five hours in these consultations
before concluding to address his -tele-
gram TO the chief executive. Up to q
late hour tonight he had received no
reply from Mr.. Roosevelt.
Met by Big Crowd.
Arriving here at $50 this morning,
Mr.. Bryan was given a rouSing recep-
ton. He was met by a big crowd at
the station. and thousands OF workers
on the way to their places of employ
ment cheered him as he proceeded in
an automobile up jefferson and Wood
ward avenues to the Point Chartrain
hotel. So occupied was he with the
consideration of the question of reply
ing TO Mr.. Roosevelss statement that
he was enabled only briefly to address
a gathering of prominent Democrats
from various parts of the country who
had come here to confer with him.
Speech at Ann Arbor.
The journey to Ann Arbor was made
In his special car, and upon his arrival
there he was accorded a cordial greet
ing. To a gathering of several thou
sand persons Mr.. Bryan, speaking from
the balcony of the Cook House, directed
his remarks particularly to young men,
discussing during an hour and a half
the tariff, the trust question. the labor
question, government guaranty of bank
deposits, the Democratic party's atti-
tude on the injunction question and on
contempt of court trials, and severely
criticised Judge Taft for his character
ization of the Democratic platform
plank on this question as loosely drawn.
Mr.. Bryan said that in every country
in the world there will be found two
parties, one essentially democratic and
the other aristOcratic And / want TO
impress on the mind of every young
man here" he said, that everywhere
the Democratic party is the growing
party and the aristocratic party is the
dying party"
THE Republican party in this coun-
try" he continued. "manfests several
wrong tendencies. The Republican adj
