Cincinnati, Sept 25-After a memor
able day in the history of campaigning il
this state, Mr.. Bryan arrived in this city
last night at 7:15 O'Clock from Dayton
where he stopped several hours en- route
from Columbus
Upon arriving at the Dayton station t
board his car, the employees of the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton & Dayton road insisted OF
taking him into Cincinnati by specia
train, and also on decorating the engine
Their request was acceded to, and the en-
CINE and cars which pulled out were q
mass of red, white and blue bunting.
AS the train pulled into the station
here, through a gauntlet of red fire, thous-
ands Of throats sent up mighty yell 0i
"Hurrah for Bryan" The progress of Mr.
Bryan from the railroad station to the
hotel was a continuous ovation.
The reception accorded the democratic
candidate on his way from Columbus
here was a remarkable one. Large crowds
turned out all along the line, but at Day
ton so great were the crowds that he was
compelled to deliver two extra speeches
He was showered with flowers and gree
ed with vociferous applause.
In his speeches here last night, Mr.
Bryan said:
LAS Mr.. Taft referred to my record,
feel that it is only fair that should make
brief reply. He has held appointive of
fee for nearly half his life. AS a United
States judge, as governor of the Philip
pines and as secretary Of war, he ha'
been before the public, and yet who will
say that he could have secured the repub-
lican nomination on his record?
ut was the powerful support of the
president that made him the nominee of
his party, and the president seems to feel
that the exigencies Of the case require
that the full support Of the administration
shall be given to Mr.. Taft's candidacy
-Four years in congress covers my Of
fetal experience. l began life as a young
lawyer, practiced for few years in Him
ois, and then went to Nebraska.
Il was nominated for the presidency
by a national convention of my party
and received the votes of 6,500.000 peo-
pie, Notwithstanding my defeat, was
again nominated and again received
practically the same vote.

have told you that Mr. Mckinley voted

the republican national convention of

tallism and that Mr.. McKinley's first i'm
portant act after taking the oath of of

to ask other nations to join us in restor-
ing bimetallism.
HE accused me of favoring govern
ment ownership but he forgets that both
he and President Roosevelt have threat
ened the railroads with government
ownership if they do not consent to eff
fective regulation.
HE has not advocated a reform that
| have not advocated earlier and it is
hardly fair for him to say that he can en-
force my reforms better than can my
self"
Mr. Bryan remained here until this
morning, taking his departure for Tere
Haute. Ind, at 8:45 o'clock over the Big
-Four railroad.

KERN ARRA|GNS
THE PRESIDENT.
President Cannot Divert Attention
of Public From Great
Issues Pending

Ellicott City, Md. Sept. 25.-John W.
Kern. democratic candidate for vice-presi-
dent, made speech before an enthusias-
tic audience here last night. He said in
part:
eMr. Roosevelt will find it quite impos-
sible by the raising of side issues and the
muddying of the waters to divert the
minds of the people from the questions
that must be decided by their votes in
November"
In this language John W. Kern con-
cluded discussion of the last letter of
President Roosevelt to w. J. Bryan with
reference to the charges made by William
R. Hearst against Governor Haskell of Ok
lahoma, treasurer of the democratic ma
lesional committee. in a speech in this city
last night. He delared that the president
had abandoned his original charges
against Governor Haskell and had taken
up criticism of his official acts to cover his
own embarrassment over his failure to
work reforms in his own party.
"Mr, Roosevelts last Illumination as to
Governor Haskell only proves that his at
tack was premature and uncalled for
said Mr.. Kern. mo such assault was ever
before made upon the chief executive of
a sovereign state by the president sof the
United States. His original charge of
criminality is abandoned and he now con-
tents himself with criticism of the gov
ernors official acts. So far as / am con-
cerned, the incident is closed until some
evidence is brought forward to substanti-
ate the original charges. Mr.. Roosevelt
will not be permitted to divert the atten-
ton of the American people from the
record of his party by such by-play as this.
The average man who reads can under
stand Mr.. Roosevelt's anxiety to avoid
discussion of the acts and omissions of the
republican party during the past twelve
years. 1t is doubtless humiliating to him
that the dominating power now in full
'control of his party effectuallly thwarted
all of his sporadic and intermittent
efforts at reform,
THE republican party in this campaign
will be judged not by what Mr.. Roosevelt
has said, or Mr.. Taft says now, but by the
record made by it in defyine the will of
the people and choking to death all Of the
reforms proposed for their relief. 1t is
true that Mr., Roosevelt has declared for
an income tax, but his party in conven-
ton assembled repudiated the proposition.
He likewise recommended a partial
remedy for swoolen fortunes-an inheri-
tance tax-but that proposition was
treated by his national convention with
contempt He thundered at congress for
a modification of the present injunction
law. but his party refused to make step
In that direction The republican plat
form itself in its promises for reform is
but confession of the inability of that
party to bring about reforms.

THE ELLIOTT PRODUCTION
WITH GORGEOUS COSTUMES

This season, in Under the Greenwood
Tree" Florence Davis win wear bathing
suit in one scene. Her many admirers
who have seen Miss Davis in more digni-
fed garh in seasons past, and have en-
joyed the charming comedies and dra-
matte plays presented by this versatile
star, might be slightly shocked at this
announcement. They might think that
Miss Davis is going to forsake the legiti-
mate drama for musical comedy, but she
is not The bathing costume is demanded
by the playwright, Henry V. Esmond,
during small part of the action of his
latest play, "Under the Greenwood Tree. ;"
1t took no little argument from her
managers to induce Miss Davis to appear
before an audience in the abbreviated
seaside garb, but this costume is alb
solutely necessary to the second act, and
inasmuch as successful and suitable plays
are not always easy to secure, and as
this one is so happily suited to the per-
oOudhly VI Nhoo laws, llhc dliiiihS
comedienne finally consented.

great success in London and New York
last Iyear, with Maxine Elliott in the
stellar role AS Miss Elliott will not 60
on the road this season, but will remain
in New York until the completion of her
