Democratic Nominee Takes Run Across Ohio and Makes
 Stop At Wheeling
ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
 IS EXTENDED EVERYWHERE
Mir. Bryan Addresses Large Crowds at Many Towns In Ohio and Speaks to Thousands When He Arrives
 In West Virginia.

Wheeling. W. Va, September n.-Wil- liam J. Bryan, the democratic candidate for President, this afternoon and tonight was West Virginia's guest. A royal vel come was accorded him as his private car "Olivette. containing himself and party and a big reception committee, crossed the Ohio river and entered this city. The river front was mass of humanity and as the democratic leader stepped on West Virginia soil he was cheered to the echo. His car was stopped directly in front of the hotel, but so great was the crowd that even the combined police force could not prevent him from being forced to struggle his way through.
 Speaking tonight to a multitude, sf per sons on the very shore of the river it. self and with the state of Ohio directly opposite, MT. Bryan pointed out the diff ferences in the two platforms and made a plea for democratic support. He made frequent reference to MT. Taft and told his audience that the republican candi- date was conducting his campaign on a platform so obnoxious to him that he was forced to continually patch it up with amendments of his own. Much stress was laid on the labor and anti injunction blanks of the democratic plat form, his remarks on this subject being applauded by many unemployed work men from the Ohio steel plants in this vicinity.
 The visit to Wheeling was the climax of an uneventful day in Ohio, the native state of MT Taft. From the time the candidate left Columbus, early in the morning, until he crossed the Ohio river into West Virginia, the crowds which gathered along the line of travel made insistent demands for his appearance and to talk to us a little.'
 At Stephenville large crowd gathered and from a railroad truck beside the track, while his car was being shifted to another train, MT. Bryan addressed them. As he had done at other points in the state, he hurled shafts of ridicule at MT. raft, whose speeches, he declared, had darkened rather than Illuminated the sup jects which compose the republican plat form.
 MT. Bryan put to his audience these questions: How many of you believe that United States senators should be elected by direct vote of the people? How many of you believe that we ought to have publication of campaign contribu- tions, that Is, above reasonable mlnl- mum before election?"
 A sea of hands went up. "Now" said MT. Bryan, 'by your votes you have de- clared that you stand on the democratic platform instead of on the republican platform
 Altogether the receptions of the demo- cratic candidate in Ohio and in this city were among the notable happenings of the campaign.

SILVER DOLLARS WILL
 BE SHY IN THE SOUTH

Washington, September 11.-(Spe- al.)-The failure of Congress to ap- propriate a sufficient sum to pay for the transportation of the silver dollar has resulted in a decided decrease in the circulation of the old "cartwheel.
 This is naturally especially noticeable in the south and west, the only sec tion of the country in which the silver dollar has any considerable circulation
 For many years Congress annually appropriated a big sum of money to pay for the shipment of all sorts or silver money. At the last session, how ever, it was decided that it was no

Crowds Cheer Bryan.

Coshocton, O.. September 11.-A large cheering crowd greeted William J.. Bryan upon the arrival of his train at this place. He started to shake hands, but the demands for a speech were so insistent that ke yielded. MT. Bryan declared that the cordiality of thss greeting would indicate that the cam paign Is already opened here and that you had already formed an opinion as to what you ought to dc on election day.
 We have been very much encour- aged" said MT. Bryan, "by the fact that the reports from all directions in dicate that the trend of the campaign Is toward the democratic party, and that in itself is a very significant thing"
 The train pulled out, and as it did so, the crowd responded to a call for three cheers for our next President"
 In his address here tonight MT. Bry- an referred to the fact that his third nomination for the presidency had a significance that could not be over looked either by republicans or demo- crats. "In former campaigns I suf- fered defeat" he said, land those de- feats would have been sufficient to have eliminated me from politics if my claim to public attention was based npon personal merit But, my friends,

forthcoming. As matters look at present Bryan's chances were never as promis- ing. With reference to the charges made by w. R. Hearst Senator Owen said:
 MT. Hearst, in denouncing Bryan and Haskell abuses the best friends of the productive masses; abuses those who have given powerful, concrete and estab- lished service to labor, and in the con- stitution of Oklahoma have bazed the path to better, farer and more equal laws. He advertises in an injurious way those who have rendered the services along the very lines of statecraft he pro- fesses to serve, and would tear down the very men who have rendered the great est service to the principles he believes in. Bryan's truth and fidelity and good ness of heart need no defense, and MT. Hearst has been msled as to Haskell. Haskell has been the friend of labor in his work in Oklahoma, and labor has supported him there w. s.

business of the government to pay for putting the silver into circulation.
 It was decided that the government ought to accommodate the public in the matter of subsidiary coins and $60,000 was appropriated for the pur- pose, over half of which has already been expended because of a curious provision in the act, making it possi- ble that before the end of the year there would be no shipments of small coins no matter how great the demand of business of the public. Treasury officials believe that within a few years silver dollars will be as scarce in the south as in the east.

WOMAN MURDERED.
Her Body Is Found With Bruises and
 Her Hands Tied.

New York, September 11.-Evidence of a murder was revealed today when the body of Mrs. Anna Mauro, 22 years old, the wife of an employe of one of the traction companies. was found in her apartments in East Forty-fifth street. The woman had been rendered unconscious by a blow on the head, strangled with a veil and her hands tied to her waist by another veil. There were many bruises on her face and body.
 The body was fully dressed and ap- pearances indicated that the woman had been dead two days. There was a paddock on the outside of the door lead ing to the apartment, fhe door was locked and the police had to break it open to obtain admission. Mrs. Mauro's husband was not at home and the coroner was informed that he had been absent for two days.

 "The republicans" he declared, "may well ask themselves whether they had not under estimated democratic policies when tn ose policies were strong enough to give me third nomina tion."
 Referring to the fact that the over shadowing of the campaign from the democratic standpoint was shall the people ruler" Mfr Bryan said he was sure that his first speecfs-had some ef- feet flor I heard two distinct echoes, one from Cincinnati and one from Utica, N. Y."

THE RELIGION OF OUR PRESE
DENTS

Those of our fOTetathers who first
focked to these shores did so to avoid
religious persecution at home
Those brave and hardy pioneers
preferred TO face the dangers from
savage Indian tribes and the wild
beasts OF the forests rather than the
religious intolerance from those adj
ministering the laws at home.
For hundreds Of years the face of
the whole earth had been distracted
by fierce and bloody wars waged by
those who professed to be followers
of the Prince of Peace"
Even in times Of supposed peace
and tranquility the most shocking
barbarities and excruciating torures
were committed on the unoffending
citizen for no other reason than that
under his own vine and fig tree he
worshipped God according TO the die
tates of his own conscience.
Had President-elect Taft been liv-
ing in those days, as good as we sup
pose him to be. be would have served
as food for the headman's axe.
One cannot even now appreciate too
highly the great boon of the privilege
to think.
When the constitution of the Unit
ed States was adopted, the greatest
victory every known in the annals of
history-greater than NHlHades at
Marathon: greater than Wellington
at WaJerioO-was fought and won.
Il was a victory for political and re-
igious tolerance-the first the world
had ever known. It meant the separ-
alton of church and state in the re-
public of the new world.
And what a glorious thing it is that
We are still enjoying the fruits of that
victory. though more than one hun
dred years have passed.
The first president Of the United
States was member of the Church
of England, Notwithstanding the pre-
judice existing against that church at
thar time In this country.
George Washington was permitted
10 enjoy his religion and hold Office at
the same time.
