Cannon. and said the speaker controlled
the will of a majority of that body In

The Injunction Question.
Taking up the labor planlxs of the Dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Bryan charged that the
Republican convention refused TO put it
self squarely on record on the labor
question, but instead had added to their
offense by nominating as their candidate
for president, the man. who more than
any other. has been identified with the
very things of which the laboring men
complain" He reiterated his charge that
MI. TAFT was the father of government
by Injunction
Regarding the issuance of writs of in
junction. Mr.. Bryan quoted Mr.. Taft as
saying that the Democratic plank with re-
gard TO the question was loosely drawn
and that it was capable of two construc-
tons. Il deny it, he said, vehemently.
''and l challenge him to put two construc-
tions on the language. He has had lots of
experience of constructions, but l chal
lenge him to find two constructions in
that Language, two opposite construc
tions."
Question and Answer.
'Why do they try to disturb? Why do
they misrepresent it?'' he inquired. An
swering his own question. he maintained
IL was because they dare not meet the
proposition they present"
Discussing the question of the issuance
of writs of injunction, Mr.. Bryan de-
MED that the Democratic plank lis the
most insidlous attack on the courts that
has ever been made" He said that the
bill the Democratic convention Endorsed
passed the senate twelve years ago, and
that il had had the support of Senators
Sherman of Ohio, Allison of Iowa, Hale
of Maine. Hawley of Connecticut and
ar.-fn Of nnr leave
Taft to explain his stand and that OF
prominent Republicans, and L VIII deal
with the principle involved"
Mr.. Bryan assured his audience that he
did not wish them to think that the Dem
ocratic party had taken its position on
the labor question simply to curry favor
with the laboring man." IL was, ne said,
a matter OF justice, and heN was glad 10
present the doctrine TO farmers, as well
as to the laboring men, of west Virginia
Speaking of the trusts and OF the failure
of President Roosevelt to send any trust
magnates TO the penitentiary, Mr.. Bryan
said that IL a strenuous president will
not take any such action, How long VIII
1t take Judge Taft to get a man In the
penitentiary?'
TAFT 10 make that statement, for / am
getting down in the neighborhood where
his friends make that argument IN his
favor You know it makes a great deal
of difference where you are as 10 Wnat
kind of argumen. you make. On the Re-
publican side, out in our country, they
picture Mr.. Taft as looking very different
from Mr. Roosevelt. Out west they say he
viii try to carry out the work of Roose,
Welt. and down east they say keep sun
until he gets in and then you VIII see
on the subject of guarantee or oank
denosits Mr.. BRYAN asserted that one
would suppose that there were no dishon-
est bankers. 49,
