Columbus, o., Sept. 23.-TweIve
speeches to enormous crowds marked
the second entry of w. J. Bryan into
Ohio during the presidential campaign,
his concluding speech being made to-
night to an overflow crowd of 10000
persons, while just previously he had
addressed the largest audience ever
assembled in Memorial Hall.
BTyans appearance on the platform
created a scene of the widest enthuG-
iaSm. In none of his remarks did
Bryan touch upon the charges against
Governor Haskell. His remarks to-
night were on the issues of the CAM
paign generally. but his speech to the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen was devoted exclusively
to the labor question~and more paTtIc-
Ularly the plank in the democratic
platform demanding a trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt. He took
occasion to refer to the attempts made
in 1895 to pass a law covering such
cases and used that as an argument
against the position of Taft that the
plank of the democratic platform re-
lating to indirect contempt was an in
sidious attack on the judiciary.
After mentioning some prominent
republicans who voted for the meas
ure, he demanded that Taft "apolc-
gfZe to these big republicans for slam
dering them as he slandered them IN
this matter"

CITES PRAIRIE OIL
AND GAS CO. CASE
Charges Oklahoma Governor
With Other Acts Which
Make Him Unfit For Any

tends He is Not Fit to Be
Bryan's Associate in Moral
Crusade.
av Associated Press.

washington, Sept %. = President
Roosevelt tonight, following prolons-
ed conference with members CT the
cabinet at the White House, prepared
and gave out his reply TO W. j. Bryan
democratic candidate for president,
relative TO w r. Hearst's charges
that Gov. Haskell, the treasurer of
the democratic campaign committee,
has represented the Standard Oil in
terests in both Ohio and Oklahoma.
Bryan had demanded the proof of
charges. promising that in the event
of their substantiation, that Governor
Haskell would be eliminated from the
campaign.
Diminishing the Ohio case, which in
vclved an allegation of attempted
bribery with the explanation that he
made no direct charge against Gov
ernor Haskell as regards that particu-
lar instance. the president takes up
the matter of the Prairie State Oil
and Gas Company, and argues that
Gov. HaskeIFs action in stopping the
legal proceedings begun by the attor-
ney general of Oklahoma, demon
strates conclusively that he is control
led by the great corporation to which
the Oklahoma company was subsi-
diary
After contrasting Bryan'S defense of
Gov. Haskell as against Judge Taft's
Reputation of Foraker in connection
with the Hearst charges against the
Ohio senator, the president proceeds
10 declare that Gov. HaskelIs ut
ter untitHess for association with any
man ANXIOUS to appeal to the AnleTf-
can people on a nloTal ISSUE" has
been abundantly shown by other acts
tof his as governor of Oklahoma The
Nrar-n nj loci -r11H e
conduct in connection with various
matters a. disgraceful and scandalous,
and calls special attention 10 what he
describes as the ''prostituting to base
purposes of the State University"
This fresh charge agaisst the gov
ernor rests on an article in the Out
lCok, from which the president quotes.
and which he says forces the cOnclu.
sion that Governor Haskell is I'M
worthy of any position in public life.
The latter portion of Roosevelt'S de-
Hverance is devoted to a criticism of
BTyan's plea for regulation of trusts,
which he characterizes as a measure
which sounds more radical than any
advocated by the republicans but
which in practice would not work.
Concluding, Roosevelt says no law
defying corporation has anything to
fear from Bryan, save what ii would
sufer from the general paralysis of
business which would follow demo-
cratic success"

HIS OWN WIFE

Cause For Indictment of
Ohio Man.
RX Associated Press.

man elope with his own wife? This
and other questions nave arisen in
the case OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Stew
ems, who are missing.
Stevens, a tailor, aged 80 years, mar
ried Grace Heartman, aged 10 years.
The girl, it is said, led the man to be-
lieve that she was of age when the
license was protcured. The day follow
ing relatives of the child-bride sought
an annulment of tne contract, but to
no avail Then the pair meeting ap-
parently by pre-aTrangement, dropped
out of sight. Since then their where
aboutS has been unknown.
The grand jury, now in session, has
been called upon to indict, but for
what no one seems able TO say, as the
girl, against whom all the blame for
the mix-up seems to lie, violated no
law, it is said. by claiming TO be 9th
er than she really was. Her relatives
would prosecute Stevens. but. mas
much a the marriage has not been an
nulled, the officials TO whom they have
complained were forced 70 tell them
that there is no law in Ohio forbid
ding a man to elope with his own
wife.
