OXFORD, Neb., Oct. l5.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Senator Beveridge was greeted by
a good sized audience at oxford early this
morning. Speaking particularly to the
railroad men and farmers in his audience,
the senator said:
What law that the republican party
has passed during the last seven years
will you, Mr.. bryan, If e4ecteu, repeal!
Win you repeal the railroad rate law, the
meat inspection law, the pure food law,
the railway employers liability law, or
any of the other statutes passed during the
Roosevelt period2
II you will not repeal any of these laws.
but on the contrary endorse them, what
reason can you give for turning out the
republican party and placing the opposi-
tiOn Ia control of the government? Let me
Suppose a man should come to your rail-
road supeTinteLd dent and say, L want that

HASTINGS. Neb., Oct. 1~5.-(speciaI Tel
egram.)-Senator A. J.. Beveridge ad-
dressed two large audiences here this aft
! %ernoon, the first one in the opera house
and the second at the frontier festival
grounds, At the opera house he asked
his audience what they wanted him to
talk about, and the bank deposit guar
anty and the tariff were suggested.
The question of Importance at this
time in connection with bank deposits
is to know that we have money to de-
posit. II deposit guaranty is such a
good thing why did not Bryan favor it
in 1895? 1t was because people didn't
have money to deposit at that time. Since
Roosevelt became president the wealth
of the nation has increased 81, 900, 0O0, 900.
"The republican party stands for tariff
revision at a session Immediately after
the Inauguration. Personally, 1 am in
favor of reducing the tariff on importa-
lions from countries that have a low
tariff on products from this country and
b~raising it on importations from countries
that have a high tariff on products from
this country.
Il want to ask If there are any people
here who believe in government owner
ship of railroads" Several persons
shouted Yes
Il want everybody who is in favor of
government ownership OF railways to
vote for Mr.. Bryan and all who are OPP
posed to it to vote for Mr.. Taft. But
why isn't Mr.. Bryan supporting govern
ment ownership today as he did yester-
day? II Mr.. Bryan supported a PROPOSE
ton yesterday and does not today who
can tell whether tomorrow he will be sup
porting the things he favors today?"
Senator Beveridge had only a few min
utes' time for each speech, but he made
SASCllcHl ~ VI a d4lu WI HluCH dp-
plause. At the festival grounds he was
listened to by 5000 people.
Today's attendance at the festival was
sufficient to insure the success of the
enterprise on as large a scale as last
year. The management announced to-
night that the third annual festival will
be given early in October next year.
