BRYAN TRAVELS TAFT'S ROUTE
RECEPTIONS TOO SIMILAR TO
BE COMPARED.
Both Get the Glad Hand, But Gen.
uine Eat-'Em-Alive Enthusiasm
Is Lacking.

Special From a Stan Correspondent.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, September 26.-
Mr.. Bryan has just come over the same
route followed by Mr.. Taft last Thurs
day. I was on the Taft train on that
trip and came along with the Bryan
train today to try and make contrast
between the receptions given the two
candidates. The experiment was not en-
tirely satisfactory. There was SO little
real, genuine enthusiasm for Mr.. Taft or
for Mr.. Bryan that 1t would be very diff
ficult to stack up the two trips one
against the other and contrast them
Curiosity seems to have been the pre-
vailing sentiment which dominated both
audiences. On the Taft trip, wherever
we stopped along the line. people turned
out and gave the candidate cordial and
kindly reception. The same thing hap
pened today on Mr.. Bryan's journey.
Perhaps there were more people at one
station who greeted Mr.. Taft and more
at another who came out to pay their
regards to Mr.. Bryan. In any event, the
ought not to be taken as
sign of the real interest OF the people In

there will be an amateur theatrical
performance in the Auditorium on the
evening of May 6.
