WILD YELLs GREET BRYAN
Close to 1000 delegates, hundreds of
other active party members and thou
sands of private citizens tonight hailed
Bryan as .the next president of the
United States" Applause that quickly
changed to cheers, then instantly
turned into wild yells. greeted him
when he appeared to begin the speech
which wound up the day. During his
remarks this demonstration was re-
newed frequently, and at the end was
repeated with renewed vigor.
Two significant points were noticed
In Bryans speech. In one he acknowl-
edged his debt to the populist party,
and in the other he replied to criti-
cisms of his policies which Secretary
Taft is reported to have uttered in
recent speech in Oklahoma.
Mr.. Taft said that 1 wish to an
nihilate business combinations, said
Bryan, while he declared himself WILL
ing TO regulate the great corporations.
I accept this issue, and in reply / will
call attention to the fact that the trusts
have regulated the republicans, not the
republicans the trusts.
UPHoLDs PoPULIsTs
Concerning the populists he said:
IF any democrat has a prejudice
against populists l would admonish
him that a populist who crosses the
road to vote for a democrat is not to
be despised by a democrat who has
merely to vote the ticket of his own
party"
Bryan was in splendid voice. As he
warmed to his subject he emphasized
his points with clenched fists and
stamping foot, and drove his argument
home with a vocal vigor that carried
his tones to the farthest corner of the
big auditorium He began his address
at $3.50 o'clock, and for nearly two
hours preached democratics doctrines to
a willing congregation. After a review
of his early struggles politically in Ne
braska, he thanked the delegates for
their action in indorsing him for the
presidency. Then came his reference
to the populists and thanks for the in
dorsement by their state convention.
These delegates at large to the ma
tional convention were chosen: 1. G.
Dunn, Omaha; d. W. Stephens, Fre-
mont; r. w. Brown, Lincoln, and Felix
J. Hale. Delegates from the six con-
gressional districts Were also chosen.
DR.. P. l.. Hall of Lincoln was elected
national committeeman, TO succeed
James Dahlman, mayor of Omaha, who
declined to serve again.
