towns.

OF the Ohioan through a heavy show

as could get into the largest theater,
and then addressed those who had
stood waiting in the rain, whose num-

Mr.. Bryan spoke in Yonkers the
day previous and, saying he under

charged the Republican party had
done nothing for labor, Mr.. Taft first
asserted that the policies of the Re-
publican party had been chiefly de-
voted to the interests Of labor. and
then pointed out that the I-otective
policy made possible the sugar refin-
Ing industry, the chief enterprise Of
the city.
Certainly Mr.. Bryan was a bold
man to advocate such views in a town
like Yonkers," continued Mr.. Taft.

Taft got inside with much difficulty,
after which the doors closed on most

candidate in the speaking. Turning
to the big crowd outside, Mr.. Hedges
employed his time in optimistic pre-

gallery attracted brief attention by
shouting, HE surely wears the smile

"It will still be there next Tues
day" rejoined Judge Taft, and in his
hope the audience seemed to concur.
