country this morning. One. the vice-president of
a large Virginia bank summed UP the situation
clearly when he said:
"A few months ago the belief was general among
the Gold Democrats OF the South that Bryan had
really grown conservative, but since his espousal
of the deposit guarantee scheme there has been
complete change in sentiment. We now see that
his knowledge of economics is a faulty as il was
twelve years ago.
A member of a Baltimore bond house. who has
just completed a business of his state. said:
Maryland is safe for Taft. The state is one of
the most conservative in the Union to-day. and no
candidate can carry il who fails to command the
support of the business These are almost

The others expressed similar views and predicted

of the New York banking situation last fall won

MR.. BRYAN IN WISCONSIN.
Covering the Same Ground as Mr. Taft-La
Toilette Hears Him

Madison. Wis Sept. 26.-Traversing the same
ground recently covered by MIR. Taft. Mr.. Bryan
arrived here this afternoon He conveyed in
an automobile TO the home of John AyIward. Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor and after a brief
rest was conducted to the gymnasium where he
addressed large audience
number of platform speeches made
on the way here by Mr.. Bryan. who called atten-
ton to the platforms of the dominant parties
the demands of the masses. At GAINESVILLE Mr..
Bryan said: You have seen Mr.. Taft and you see
me- but that does not count for much, because we
are not running our looks.
Mr. BRYAN declared that both candidates were
running their principles II stand for certain
things" he said. 'and he stands for certain things
and I am entitled If you believe I
stand for you and he is entitled your votes II
you believe he stands for you"
John A. Aylward candidate for Governor the
Democratic ticket introduced Mr. Bryan and
termed him typical American farmer.
Mr. Bryan said, in opening, that he did not know
whether he a farmer agriculturist. The
farmer he said earned his money on the farm and
spent it in city, and the agriculturist earned
his money in the city and spent ii the farm.
According to that difference, he said. he belonged
to the latter class.
Occupying a seat in the front of the audience
was Senator La Toilette. who paid particular at
tention TO the Nebraskan's remarks. Mr.. Bryan
discussed among other things. the publicity OF
campaign contributions before elections and in the
course of his argument was interrupted by man
on the stage. who addressing himself to Senator
La Toilette said That's all right. amt II. Bob?'
Indeed 1t is was the Senator's response amid
loud cheering Mr.. Bryan expounded his views on
the trusts the tariff and the election of Senators
nv people.
