 Within ten minutes after his arrival he was addressing a vast throng in front of the hotel, the crowd insisting that he give them talk. He took for his text the more striking messages of his labor day address in Chicago and dwelt at some length on the right of trial by jury in cases of indirect con- tempt.
 During the afternoon and evening he made three other speeches. the prin- cipal one at the coliseum. which was hDed to it's capacity and which neces- sitated an overflow address in court house square. His set speech on The State and Nation" in which he declared in favor of State rights was received with vociferous applause and every manifestation of approval.
 When he had finished his prepared speech he launched into a discussion
 
 and reiterated his charge that Mir. Taft was not satisfied with the Republican platform and had been compelled to amend 1t in many particulars.
