TAFT OBJECTS TO
GOMPERS' ATTITUDE
Republican Nominee Complains
That Labor Leader Opposes
the WOrkman's Friend

DENVER, Oct. 2.-In the same build
ing-the Denver Auditorium-in which
William J. Bryan was nominated for
the presidency last July, William H.
Taft tonight addressed a tremendous
throng, setting forth reasons and argu-
ments why the Nebraskan should not
be elected.
Tafts entry into Denver was under
most inspiring political conditions. The
streets were profusely Illuminated and
had not been soSdensely populated since
the democratic convention departed.
Taft's language on the labor ques-
tion has been decidedly vigorous and
positive today. Here are some of his
remarks:
This thing of Gcmpers having the labor vote in
his pocket and OF the labor men believing the
lies he tells is something that complain of.
Labor men ought to look at the record and see
which party has done things In their behalf II
you will examine the legislative record you will
find not line in the federal statute books that
was prJ there by the democratic party.
Gompers attacks me the ground that am
an enemy OF labor / deny il. l was judge on
the bench and I decided the cases that came be-
fore the law and the evidence required,
and I not making apology for 4 single decl-
sion.
But what 1 complain OF is this wind jamming
and Misrepresentation of man VINO claims to
control labor in order to defeat man who Is In
favor of labor
The foregoing quotations are ex-
cerpts from the numerous speeches
Taft delivered today on his trip from
Omaha to Denver. He returned east
ward tonight and will reach Topeka to-
morrow.

CASEY GETS HIS REVENGE
President of Board of Works
Scores Against Democrats

Michael Casey, president of the board
of public works, has obtained one bit
Of revenge against the politicians who
are aiming ct his downfall. He has
scored against the Bell democrats of
the thirty sixth district.
The democrats in the thirtysi say
they had assurances from Casey that
the union labor party would choose q
candidate for the assembly whom the
democrats could indorse They had a
promise from the same source that if,
on the other hand, the democrats had a
fayorite son for the nomination the
union labor party would accept him.
Casey could promise this much safely,
because the union labor delegate from
the thirty-SiXth was John Rogerson,
superintendent of street cleaning.
The San Francisco democratic clubs
attempt to have Casey removed changed
the aspect, and when Casey's wings
We're clipped in the board of public
works he embraced the chance to be
revenged.
John Rogerson was the first of
Casey's men to lose his job. His prom
ises were forgotten and Casey directed
that the union labor nomination for
the assembly be given to Henry n.
Beatty, the republican nominee. Roger
son cheerfully complied.
The democrats have nominated
George Dawson, millman, who was
on the committee in the San Francisco
democratic club to which the anti
Casey resolution was referred
Albert p. Wheelan has been nomi-
mated for the assembly by the demo-
Gratis of the forty second district.

LEAGUE WILL GET

Registrar Finds Enough Quail

Good Government League

Examination of the good government

S6A per cent Of the signers, or a total

prepared to give the league place on
the official ballot for the names OF
Judge Dunno and the four other non
partisan candidates for the superior
bench.
The law requires Lac signatures of
voters who did not participate in a
primary election, but Zemansky has al
ready found 1900 voters so qualified as
signers of the petition.
These names We're all in the first
petition filed. A second lot of affidavits
to the number of 1870 were delivered
to the registrar yesterday afternoon by

citizens qualified legally to sign makes
all attacks upon the validity of the
petition futile.
Tim Sullivan and Charles H. Forbes
are, nevertheless, continuing their fight
against Judge Dunno, and Forbes
stated yesterday that he had discovered
that out of the 40 verification deputies
employed to secure signatures were not
registered voters as required by law.
We are fighting the good govern
ment league not for this year, but for
next year" declares Forbes, signifi-
cantly.
The objections raised by Forbes

legal in their nature. 1t was not nee
essary for the league to put the names
of governing committee on the af-
fidavits. and the fact that in go doing
the provisions OF the law were not
strictly adhered to will not invalidate
the petition. Neither Will the fact that
signers did not take the oath. In sign

EXPERIENCE AMPLE.
DECLARES BRYAN
Candidate Tells German Demo.
cratic Club He Is Well Fitted
for Presidency

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 2.-Speaking to-
night before the German Bryan club
Of Lincoln, William J. Bryan answered
the criticism which had been made of
him by Governor Hughes and other
republican leaders that his experience
in public life was insufficient to quail
ify him for the presidency.
Bryan asked his audience, why this
new born zeal for experience?' He
cited Abraham Lincoln. General Grant,
James G. Blaine. Benjamin Harrison
and Mckinley as having had no par
ticular public experience previous to
their nominations
Taking up the charge that he may
not make wise appointments if elected
to the presidency, Bryan insisted that
the argument should not be made by
a republican, because. he said. for the
next two years at least the senate
would be republican and would pass
upon all important appointments
In part Bryan said:
The German element in our popu-
lation is very important one, both
in numbers and in the character of the
men who have come to US from Ger
many. The German language is rich
in philosophy, in oratory and in po-
etry, and the Germans who have come
among US have brought not only their
literary tastes, but thrift. industry and
integrity. They have helped to build
up our country and the German strain
in our blood has added to the energy.
honesty and Importance of the COM
posite amount ] appreciate the sup
port which is being given to the ticket
by the German democrats here and
throughout the country"
After discussing number of issues,
Bryan said:
The only republican argument that
we hear much of now is that demo-
cratic success will disturb business.
Our contention is that national demo-
cratic success Will restore prosperity.
How can the republicans threaten us
with a panic when a panic came under
the present president and is still upon
US? In some respects il is the most
acute panic that we have had and there
was less in natural conditions to justify
it, That this panic still continues can
be proven in. many ways:
First. by the number of men out OF
employment-men ANXIOUS to work. who
are not able to find work to do An
effort has been made among those Sc
curing special privileges from the gov
ernment TO answer this political argu-
ment by starting up some of thei,
mills in the closing days, but the peo-
pie can hardly be fooled by such trans
parent tricks"

WILLIAMS IGNORES
DEMOCRATIC HOBBY
Massachusetts Orator Refrains
From Mentioning Bryan's
Remedy for Panics

George Fred Williams. the Massachu-
setts orator, told the democrats OF this
city last night that the republican par
~ was responsible for the panic OF last
fall. Dwelling or that financial crisis
with particular emphasis, he discussed
banks, bankers and banking methods
in detail. but he refrained with omi-
nous care from saying a single word in
favor Of Bryan's latest favorite remedy
for panics, tie state guaranty of bank
deposits.
Democratic ora tors have had much TO
say about the panic in their stump
speeches. Senator Gore devoted much
time TO it last Tuesday night. He pro-
posed the guaranty scheme as the dem
ocratic remedy But Williams never
mentioned it. He cut that democratic
principle out of his speech Everybody
wondered whether the democrats Of
Massachusetts were refusing to stand
for the system of which Oklahoma is so
proud
Williams held a big throng in
Dreamiand pavilion last night for two
and a half hours while he eXpounded
Bryan democracy He is a spellbinder
Of the clear cut, logical type, hammer
ing at his audience without undue eX-
element and without humor, but rous-
ing IL to great enthusiasm. Democracy,
as represented in Dreamland last night,
was IN an enthusiastic mood and
cheered on the slightest provocation.
Three congressman for California
WHO served IN the house while Williams
was a member graced the platform
James C. Mcguire, A. Caminetti of
Jackson and Tom Geary of Sonoma. In
addition there appeared Mayor Taylor,
Judge Coffey, Thomas E. Hayden, Sem
ator Sanford of Ukiah. Sidney Van
Wyck. George A. Tracy and other stall
warts.
Judge Mcguire introduced Williams
with a graceful tribute TO the service
he rendered California by advocating
the GearY bill when all New England
was against it.
Williams began his long speech by
propounding the question: Shall the
people rule?
The only democratic administration
since the civil war" he said in answer,
established the principle that the serv-
ants of the people in administrative af-
fairs must keep their hands from the
politics OF the country"
After routing Roosevelt, Williams
charged the republican party with the
sins Of high finance and passed on to
the subject of campaign contributions.
DEPRESSING, he declared that California
would join the middle west in a land
slide to Bryan, and then he took a flier
al the tariff and discussed panics and
banks without touching on the state
guaranty scheme. He protested against
government by injunction and called
Taft the father of injunctions."
Williams argued speciously that
Tafts judicial training untitled him for
the presidency, and belittled his record
as q governor and special commissioner
in the Philippines, Panama. Porto Rico
and Cuba.
His most perfervid spellbinding was
reserved for a peroration in which
Bryan was triumphantly seated in the
White House.
I'd be willing to leave it to the votes
of the civilized world as to who is the
first citizen of the United States, and
I'd get nine-tenths OF the votes for
Bryan"
