With Letters From All
Parts of Country

terway Association Before
Bryan Is Accepted

CINCINNATI, Sept. e.-Pending the
arrangement by the republican national
committee of the details of Judge
Tafts intended trip through the coun-
try, the plans for the Cincinnati cam
paign are being held in allegiance. But
two appointments for delegations to
visit the candidate here have been
made, September II and %. The an
nouncement through the press that a
swing around the circle" was to be
made by the candidate has resulted in
a deluge of letters from various sec
tions inviting addresses.
The one thing settled about the trav-
cling campaign is that the candidate
Will be in Chicago October z, where he
Will address the Lake to the Gulf Deep
Water Way association at the Audi
torium. This decision was made final
today, although Taft had some time
ago responded to an inquiry on the
subject by saying that should the invi-
tation be extended formally he would
accept. Bryan has accepted an invi-
tation TO address the association Octo-
ber 9.
Judge Taft's first day in Cincinnati
was taken advantage of by many of
his personal. political and professional
friends to pay their respects and from
the time he reached his newly estab-
lished offices at the Sinton hotel shortly
after 10 o'clock until late in the after
noon he was constantly engaged with
callers, among whom was Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth.
Under the direction of the speakers
bureau of the national committee,
Longworth will devote his time to the
campaign after September Is.
A J. Norys made a call on Senator
Foraker here today. 1t was said to be
social call, with no significance.

ton Of trial by jury In cases Of indirect
contempt
During the afternon and evening
Bryan made three more speeches, the
principal one at the Coliseum, which
was filed to Its capacity, and which
necessitated an overflow address in
court house square.
His set speech on The State and Ma
ton in which he declared in favor
of state rights, was received with vo-
ciferous applause and every manifesto
tion of approval.
When he had finished his prepared
speech he launched into a discussion of
the various issues of the campaign and
reiterated his charge that Taft was not
satisfied with the republican platform
and had been compelled to amend it in
many particulars.
When the train pulled out of the sta
tion tonight, the actual invasion of
the east by the democratic candidate
was begun. From this point until the
trip is concluded. September 20. at
Lincoln, Bryan will travel in a private
car.
