 Although not connected with poli- ties" Mir. Hill said. T reiterate that am heartily in favor of the election or the Democratic national and state tickets. l am no partisan. however. that l would support the party whether right or wrong. but permit me to say that I support the national ticket In this campaign because In my Judgment our presidential candidate. who honors us with his presence here tonight, Is absolutely right upon every contested question in this campaign. I am for him because sincerely be- lieve that the best interests of the. country will be subserved by his elec- tion.
 Tt is time for a change in the ad- mfnistration of the government. change of measures and of men. Our candidate owes the nomination not to any one man nor any set of men but only to the people themselves. If elected, he will be the president him- self and not a dummy for any man. He will not be led around with a string like a great big caged bear"
 MT. Hiil referring to the Republican charges that a panic would follow Mfr. Bryan's election. declared that 1t would not be a business panic. ''but 1t will he q panic on the part Of the hun dreds of thousands of federal office holders and offiicals who will have to surrender their places to the victori- ous party"

He has been courageous. sincere, the constant | friend of labor ever since he has been l In public life. He is as incorruptfble l as he is brave and he can neither be purchased nor intimldAted' Ovation For Bryan. Mir. Bryan received an ovation az he arose to speak. He expressed his ap- preciation of the cordial welcome he had received '1n the capital of our na- tion's greatest state" and replied to Mir Hill by saying:
 T appreciate the more than gener- ous words employed by Senator Hill in presenting me to you. One of the pleasures of this campaign is the unity that manifests itself in the Democratic party. As the candidate for president. I have behind me a united democracy and in front of me scared hepuph- can party"
 party was full of fight, while the Re- publican party was full of fright. | "I believe" he continued, that we are going to win a great victory ana. my friends, I am glad that Senator Hill, the hero of so many battlefields, is fighting by my side prepared to share with me the joys of a Demo- Nxf,, E4h victory be incomplete if 1t were a sectional victory. But I believe that this vic- tory is going to be won by the CO., operation of the east and the west, the north and the south. and that it will cement the Democratic party as fighting force"
 Mir. Bryan said he would present some evidences that will encourage you and some arguments in behalf of our position."'
 First, he urged support of the Demo- cratic state and national tickets. be- cause he said they were fighting on the same platform and bearing the brunt of the battle and deserved the peoples suffrage. He laid stress on the plank in the Democratic platform providing for publicity of campaign contributions before election.
 MT Taft's National Committee has promised to publish the contributions after the election, when he knows 1t will be too late to be of advantage to the voters. but the Republican Congress sionai Committee has not promised to publish the contributions even after the election.
 q now ask Mir Taft if he will re- quest the Campaign Committee to an- nounce that publication will be made after election. If Lot, we have a right to conclude that the Congress slonal Committee has to receive the funds that are too tainted to so into the treasury of the National Commit tee"

 Mir. Bryan frequently referred to Mir. Taft's labor record. He declared Mir. Taft was the most objectionable public man to laboring men the country has ever known. ne discussed a decision of the then Judge Taft in 1894. beaf- ing on the case where the receiver Of a railroad company cut the wages of the men ten per cent.
 The e oIoyes" said Mir. Bryan "presented petition and asked for a restoration of their wages. but by his decision he said they had no legal right to ask 1t, and he had no legal right 10 lisen to them: but that if they were talking to an employer. the employer might, as a matter of charity. restore their wages: that he could not listen to such a petition because,as judge, his duty was to protect the railroad"
 A heavy rain was coming down when the Democratic candidate ar rived but the people swarmed around the station to bid him welcome. After a hurried meal at the hotel. where he was joined by ex-SenRtor Hill, he pro- ceeded fin a carriage through line Of red hre to the hall. escorted by several marching clubs with bands Its pro- gress throuhg the streets was made the occasion for a great demonstration.
