BRYAN COMES
 BACK AT TAFT Says Republican Candi-
 date Is Dodging. QUERIES ON LIVE ISSUES Unexpected Discoveries of Gold
 Settles Money. Ask. Former War Secretary to Define His Ideas on Question Now
 Before the American Peo- pie.

Philadelphia Sept 15.-"Mr. Taft IS lodging. He cannot escape from the issues He will not be permitted 10 run away from them. He has accept ed the nomination of his party. Now let him take the people into his con fidence and interpret his platform so that the public will know where ne stands and what he intends to do.
 In these words William J. Bryan. In an interview to-day on the journey from Baltimore to this city. issued an- other challenge to Mir. Taft. his Re- publican opponent. He read MT. Tafts utterances. printed this morning and dictated a retort which Is in part as follows:
 MT. Taft is lodging. Instead of tons. He Is inquiring about my record tlons he Is inquiring about my record and 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. He ac- cuses me of being changeable and of abandoning issues"
 Mir. Bryan said he had been a tariff reformer for twenty-eight years; had advocated the election of Senators by the people for twelve years, and has been favoring an income tax for four teen years. and Mir. Taft Is only now coming around to his position on these questions. Continuing he said:
 T said in 1898 that the Filipinos ought to have their independence. MT. Taft has this year admitted that they must ultimately have independence. have maintained my position. have also discussed the Philippine question in this campaign and called attention to the fact that MT. Taft made mis- take of S1l4.000.000 In his estimate of the cost of imperialism.
 "On the railroad question he has ,ex- pressed himself as strongly as I have. He has said. and the President also has said. that government ownership will follow if the railroads prevent regulation. I have said the same thing I do not desire government ownership. hope that tho railways will permit regulation. Our position 1 only diners in that he has more faith than have In the willingness Of the railroads to be regulated ..-
 He spends some lime on. the money question. The money question has been taken out of politics because un- expected discoveries of gold have giv- en the increase which was demanded by the Republican party as well as by the Democratic party.
 MT. Taft cannot escape from the ia- sue. Will he define his position on the tariff question on the labor question, l on the trust question and on the othe issues that are presented in this cam paign? He will not be permitted to run away from them. ettE
 If he prefers to deive in the past rather than meet the issues of the present will he explain the Benguet railroad in the Philippines and the perpetual franchises that he wanted to fasten upon the Filipinos with a perpetual guarantee of income to the corporations securing the franchises; | Will he explain his record on the la bor question and his silence on the tarin question and the trust question during his official service at Wash. | ingtonT
