Carnegie Hall. New York, Sept i9,-
Democracy's presidential campaign n
Greater New York had its advent last
night when W J Bryan at a mass
meeting, under The auspices Of Tam
many hall, spoke before enthusiastic
thousands who filled Carnegie hall and
0yerflowed into the streets
Mr. Bryan spoke FOR over an hour
on Republican Tendencies" al Car

day MIR. Bryan spoke at a MONDAY
meeting and during the afternoon held
constant leyees at his hotel where
Democratic leaders in the city and
state called OH him.

tained at dinner at the home OF Mel
bert T.. Carey On reaching Carnegie

an ovation by a crowd OF 10000 or
or more persons who could not get In

flagdraped cart and from ii he made

peatedly.
j ssn only spe ak briefly 10 YOU, as
have a long speech to make IN
side. said Mr. Bryan. 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 ought
TO be done We take the people into
our confidence and thus we show not
only our faith In the merits OF our
policies bur also In the intelligence Of
the voters
Now there are four propositions as
TO labor for which we stand. First
we believe that there should be a de-
partmeni OF labor with a cabinet Off
Ger al It's head.
Second, we believe that labor
should be taken out OF the operation
OF the trust law.
Third, we believe that an indus.
trial dispute should not be sufficient

RA|NEY ON
TEXT BOOKS

In an article in the Oklahoma City
Times, Superintendent Geo. Rainey, Of
Garfield county, has made an unwar-
ranted attack on the text book com
mission. 1t has the appearance of be-
ing an intentional misleading of the
people, for It lacks the quality OF truSh
in several respects
Mr. Rainey has charged that a graft
OF SS7 800 was made in the adoption
OF certain book. lie made an unfor
tunate choice OF a book to charge graft
concerning. Let US see The book in
question is Oklahoma Civil Govern
ment, by Evans and Bum. This book
will be used only In the eighth and
ninth grades II there are only 100000
pupils enrolled in the state, there can
under no circumstances be more than
10000 pupils use this book each year.
Suppose that it is used for the full
| five years: this would mean 100000
copies at so cents or 100000 IN all.
II stands 10 reason that a few old
books would be taken in exchange,
which would cut down The profit. Does
/ graft OF SS7 800 look reasonable -
Is sheer nonsense.
| Mr. Rainey says the book Is fun Of
| glarlng inaccuracies. lf such be the
case. MIR Rainey must know that the
| commission can change any book
which does not prove satisfactory; for
| the law SO provides.
Mr. Ralney says that Mr. NJ. Evans
* an obscure school man. This state
ment Is absolutely false MIR Evans
Is a graduate of one OF the hest schools
OF Kentucky lie has been al the head
OF the Ardmore schools for some years.
