Providence, r. l., Sept 1S.-Cam-
paignng through Connecticut and
Rhode Island, w, ]. Bryan tonight
concluded his first invasion of the
present campaign in the east The
day was not without its incidents, par
tcularly after Rhode Island territory
was reached, whore Mr. Bryan and
party We're arrested or overspeeding
their automobile.
The itinerary as arranged by the
Rhode Island state committee pro-
vides for stops at River Point and
Woonsocket and necessitated trip
by auto over about thirty-ive miles
o the dustiest and apparently the
most rain-forsaken highways that Uew
England can boast today AT Stam-
ord South Norwalk and New London
Conn. early in the day, the democratic
candidate delivered short addresses to
large audiences, using as the basis of
his argument the democratic plat
form.
The really interesting features Of
the day began when the party reached
RhoGG Island soil, and the Bay State
limited train, on which it is now trav-
cling. was stopped at Appodaugh. in
the town Of Warwick, the home of
United States Senator Aldrich. The
autos carried the party over a six-milc
trip to the home of Colonel II. p.
Quinn, at River Point, one of the
leaders of the state democracy, where
Mr. Bryan delivered his first Rhode
Island address to a large audience,
This first lap in the Rhode Island
trip was not without its incident, for
the big car in which Mr.. Bryan was
travelling, because he wished to pre-
serve his throat from the dust, baked
before the goal was reached, and he
was forced to wait until the engine
could regain its composure and ac-
cede to the demands of the chauffeur,
This, however, was a trifle to what
followed after the River Point dem
onstraiiOn was over and the party, in
six autos. had headed for Woonsocket.
Colbr Bryan's auto again baked, the
car was left with its chauffeur by the
roadside, and in one of the following
cars MI Bryan started for the rubber
city. But the troubles Of the day were.
not over. Rhode Island has laws re-
gardirg the pace at which automobiles
may travel Not alone that, but that
glardi8ns of the peace have provided
automobile traps at several vantage
points, notably along Elmwood ave-
nue.. over which Colonel Bryan and
his party were destined to travel
The result of this combination Of
law and auto traps was that the car
which carried Colonel Bryan was held
up by one of the automobile police !
men and the party placed under ar
rest. After certain details, such as
the taking of names, etc, had been
gone through with, the party was al |
lowed to proceed Another car con-
tanning newspaper men suffered like
fate At Woonsocket the open air adj
dress of Mr.. Bryan was heard by q
huge crowd, the address covering
ground as at River Point, and at 5:47 |
a train was taken for Providence, |
New England trip was delivered to- |
night at Infantry hall in the presence
Of a crowd that filled the largest audi
torium in the city to overlooking and
crowding the stairways and streets in
the immediate vicinity. At Provi- |
dence Governor James Higgins, with
members of the committee welcomed
the colonel as he stepped from the
train and escorted him to the Crown
hotel. where dinner was served,
Crowds were at the station and
lined the streets to the hotel, and Col
onel Bryan's welcome to Providence
was a vociferous one The address at
Infantry hall was much in line with
his address during the past few days
at various places He arraigned the
republican party for its position on
the tariff, the trusts and the labor
question, and criticised Mr. Taft for
amending his party's platform. He
reiterated his charge that the cam
paign expenses of the republican par
ty are being paid for In large part
from corporations which have fatten-
ed under the protective tariff system.
Concerning labor he denounced Mr..
Taft for his attitude on this question,
and once again challenged him to put
himself on record as to his position on
this issue.
Colonel Bryan and his party left on
a late train for New York, whence the
Itinerary tomorrow includes a trip to
Esopus. the home of Judge Alton Il.
Parker. and to "Wolfert's Roost,' the
home of former Senator David b. Hill |
As he was departing for New Haven
and Providence today, Mr.. Bryan was
asked whether the Standard oil COM
pany had contributed to the demo-
cratic party as charged by William X,
Hearst in an address at Columbus,
Ohio, and he replied:
"The Standard on company has
contributed nothing TO the democratic
party"
