BRYAN SPEAKS
AT STATE FAIR
MinneSOtanS Listen to Ad=
dress at Hamline.
VAST CROWD GATHERS

Noted Nebraskan Talks on "Repub-
lican Extravagance"-Says Impe-
realistic Policy of the Party Is Re-
sponsibIe for an Enormous and In
creasing Drain Upon Taxpayers of
the Nation.
st. Paul, Sept William ]. Bry-
an delivered an address at the state
fair grounds at HamIine. his subject
being Republican Extravaganza" An
immense crowd greeted Mr.. Bryan
and gave him az ovation. He said in
part:
The Democratic platform makes Re-
publican extravaganza one of the is
sues of the present campaign. The
Republican platform is silent on the
subject and naturally so; to have
promised economy would have been
a meckery and to have defended the
appropriations made by the last con-
gress would have been impossible.
While this tendency to extravaganza
manifests itself in nearly all depart
ments it is especially noticeable in
the army department and the navy de-
partment. The imperialistic policy,
for which the Republican party is re-
sponsible, is the only excuse for this
enormous and increasing drain upon
the taxpayers.
Our platform also calls attention to
the fact that $4,000 new officers have
been created, at an expense of S70,'
900, 900 a year, as against an increase
of 10000 new officers, with salaries
amounting to $6,0O0,O00, in the Cleve-
land and Mckinley administrations.
Farmers Have Reason to Complain.
While every element of our popula'
tion suffers to a greater or less extent
because of the unnecessary eXpendl
lures of the government the farmers
have special reason for complaint, be
cause they pay more than their share
of the taxes collected and receive less
than their share of the benefits which
flow from the expenditure of the cor
poration
Why is 1t that the Republican party
is so much more extravagant than the
Democratic party in the expenditure
of public money? There are two rea
sons: First, because Republican lead
ers are more intimately associated
with the taxeaters than the taxpayers
second, the Republican leaders have
taught the doctrine that taxation is al
unalloyed good. 1t is not strange tha'
people who consider taxation as
blessing would be inclined to maxi
the blessing as large as possible.
The Democratic party is in posi-
tien to bring reform in the matter o
expenditures. 1t believes that Ia:
is defensible only when necessary AM
that 1t should be reduced to the low
est limits consistent with good gov
ernment Our party is pledged to re
duction in appropriations and to ecor
omy in every department of govern
ment and our position ought to appea
with special force to those of our poi
ulation who are engaged in agricu
ture.

TAFT's LAST RESORT.

Ohio Democrats are glad that Mr..
Taft is going to take the stump. 1t
| is an admission on the part of his
| managers that his case is desperate
and that he must do something des-
I perate to stem, if possible, the tide
of overwhelming defeat that is bear
ing down upon him.
Realizing that Mr.. Taft was no
match for Mr.. Bryan as public
speaker, that he lacks the ability to
discuss with Mr.. Bryan the issues
before the people this year, his man
ayers thought at first to assume an
air of dignity by initiating the
front porch campaign of Mckinley in
1896. His managers and the G. o. p.
press had e great real to say about 1t
being undignlfied for a candidate for
president to run around the country
to catch votes. Now Taft is going to
be undignified and run around the
country and catch votes, if possible,
because the people were not rushing
to his brothers front porch in Gin
cinnati with voluntary promises to
deliver the votes in November.
Mr.. Bryan has smoked out Mr.. Taft
several times this campaign. First he
smoked Mr.. Taft out and put him on
the defensive which the Chicago con-
Vention voted down.
He smoked out Mr.. Taft on the
election of Senators, to the extent
that Mr.. Taft said he was person
ally inclined, but did not think 1t a
party issue. Mr.. Taft would be very
glad to create that impression since
his convention voted down the propo-
sition, and the Democratic conven-
tion adopted 1t.
Mr.. Bryan smoked out Mr.. Taft on
guaranteed bank issue on which Mr.
Taft echoes the views of his brother,
and former Governor Herrick that it
would be dangerous to make banks
safe.
Mr.. Bryan smoked out Mr.. Taft on
the tariff, to the extent that Mr.. Taft
eagerly promised to call special ses-
sion of Congress, if elected, to re
wise" the tariff without stating
whether he favored revising it up or
reforming 1t down.
Now Mr.. Bryan has smoked Mr..
Taft out again, and Taft will take the
stump as a last resort to bolster up a
tottering and losing campaign.
This is good news to Democrats
If Mr.. Taft continues to make as
many blunders in his public utter
ances as he has done already, he will
make certain the defeat that stares
him in the face, as Blaine did in 1884

CLEVELAND GHOST STORY.


Republican editors in Ohio. and
elsewhere, have grabbed at that spur
ious ''posthumous statement of
Grover Cleveland" like drowning men
grasping at straws.
A bureau editorial published in
many Republican papers says: THE
declaration of Grover Cleveland, made
a few days before his death, that
William H. Taft would. and ought to
be, the next President of the United
States, has created a profound i'm
preston throughout the country"
Anybody who knows anything about
the peculiarly individual style of die
tion in all of Mr.. Cleveland's writ
ings, knows that this fake death
bed prophecy" is bungling attempt
to initiate the man who made such
phrases as 'inocuous desuetude."
But suppose it were true that Mr..
Cleveland actually made such state
ment. 1t takes unlimited gall for Re-
publican editors to conjure the ghost
of Grover Cleveland from it's grave to
make stump speeches for Taft.
1t was only fifteen years ago, under
just such times as we are having now
after twelve years of uninterrupted
Republican control of all branches of
the government, that these same Re-
publican editors were calling him
"The Stuffed Prophet of Williams
Street." cartoouing him as going
bathing with Queen Lii, and announc-
ing every bank failure as Another
bank gone Democratic" with big type,
and announcing every failure as an
other Democratic catastrophe.
While these ghouls, who have no
more respect for the living than they
had for the dead, who do not hesitate
to drag the ex-president's ghost from
the grave to make votes for Taft by
putting forged statements In the dead
mans mouth, every living member Of
Grover Cleveland's cabinet. except
Carlisle, is actively at work trying to
make votes for Bryan. anG one of
them is Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio.
If this doesn't silence the ghouls on
their posthumous Cleveland canard it
is because disrespect for both the liv-
ing and the dead has paralyzed what
conscience they may have had.

THE CARD INDEX.

Young Mr.. Hitchcock's earliest
claim to the greatness of managing
the Taft campaign was his versatility
in rounding up support for Cortelyou
before the Taft primogeniture had
been definitely established. Then, all
the while on a government Job, Mr..
Hitchcock managed the steam roller
which did such execution among the
allies at Chicago. The next and most
recent claim to fame by this bureau-
cratic aide to a bureaucratic chief is
logically enough the celebrated card
index system.

trust money to do it with holds out, is
