Taft Dodged in Nebraska.


Mr.. Bryan accused Mr. Taft of not max
ing the speech in Nebraska that he had
been making in other parts of the coun-
try.
''He did not discuss the guarantee of
bank deposits" he said. doubtless be
cause he was informed that the people
of Nebraska are in favor of the guardn-
teeing of bank deposits His appeal was
TO the farmers. and il was based upon
the fact that the farmers have had good
crops and fair prices, but did the Repub-
ncan party give you good crops All
who think the Republican party is re-
sponsible for good crops should thank
The Republican party. Those who be
lieve. as we do. that the good crops are
due TO the fertility of the soil. 10 sea-
sonable rains and to the warmth of the
sunshine, should thank the Almighty"
He asked his audience if the Republic
ans had given them high prices.
Are not agricultural prices" he in
quired, las high in Canada as they are
here2 Are not agricultural prices as high
in England as they are here? Have not
values increased in Europe as well as in
America You must find some cause that
IL is as extended as the result which you
are trying to account for and the influ-
ence of the Republican party is confined
to the United States The farmers should
not be deceived by the argument now adj
dressed to them, for a similar argument
was addressed TO labOring men eight
years ago"
He then spoke of the empty dinner pa IL.
because of the bottom having dropped
out of IT, and that the farmers were now
being told that the Republicans are TO
give them a full pail
Republicans Have No Plan.
The Republican party. he declared had
TO plan that promises benefit to the
farmer but he is the victim of all the
abuses that have grown up under Repub-
lcan rule What do they say in their
platform? Why, / am almost ashamed
TO tell you what they say. What they
rfrrT1x hot Nrfa.a Ina
Bee thought ! said il and wrote an edi-
tcriai against it. Now. isn't that pretty
hard, to have a Republican platform so
bad that it would be mistaken for one
of nv speeches? The Bee thought l said
it. and how the Bee did lambaste me,
There was more truth in that editorial
of the Omaha Bee than / have seen IN II
for the last twentY-oue years"
Discussing the questions of reforms, the
candidate said that there was not one
thing Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft stood
for that he had not fought for.
If he said, you approve what they
have tried to do in these reforms. how
can you denounce what ! have tried TO
do. and if you believe it is good for the
country for them to try to apply them
how can you doubt that il would be bet
ter for the country if a Democrat should
try to apply them?"
Hughes Lambasted.
In the opinion of Mr.. Bryan, Governor
Hughes was not the kind of man to give
advice to people who wanted remedial
legislation.
MIR. Hughes, governor of New York -
he said, has come out here to tell you
that our plan is ridiculous, and ne has
laughed all over the state and all over
the west: laughed so heartily at the alb
surdity of our plan that he could not get
himself in a condition to suggest any
plan himself. 1t may be a laughing mat
ter for Governor Hughes, but II is not
a laughing matter for the people of this
country. All of you who think that we
do not need a remedy can laugh with
do not need any. but if you believe We
need a remedy you will not be satisfied
with the speech of a man who proposes
no remedy. And Governor Hughes, who
came out TO make fun Of our antitrust
remedy. is the same Governor Hughes
who vetoed the 2-Cent passenger fare bill
In the state of New York-a thing that
your governor would not veto, a thing
that YOU all are in favor of. for you are
all paving , cents now. instead of 3. And
Vet down in New York, where the pOpu-
lation is thicker than il is out here
after that bill was passed by d Repub-
lican legislature. Governor Hughes We
toed it, and he is not the kind of a man
to give advice to people who want remed-
ial legislation"
After speaking at WahoO Mr.. Bryan
returned TO Fremont, where mis- train was
switched to the lines of the Union Pacific
ard over which road he will resume his
journey early in the morning, his first
OF twenty-three speeches being scheduled
for North Bend at o'clock and the last
AT Hebron at $50 at night
