SAYS BRYAN IS
in THE RIGHT
David B. Hill Presents Candidate TO
Audience-Thinks Change
Due.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 29.-The feature
OF William Jennings Bryan's tour up
state was the appearance on the plat
form here or Former United States
Senator David B. Hill. It was the
first time in several years that Mr..
Hill had attended such gathering,
so that when he stepped forward as
chairman to introduce Democracy's
leader, the great crowd which packed
the hall where the meeting was held
rose and wildly cheered.
Although not connected with poll
TICS" said Mr.. Hill, Il reiterate that
/ am heartily in favor of the election
Of the Democratic national and state
tickets. l am not so partisan, how
ever. that l would support the party
whether right or wrong, but permit
me to say that l support, the national
ticket in this campaign because in
my judgment our presidential candi-
date. who hOnors us with his pres
ence, is absolutely right upon every
contested question in this campaign.
l am for him because I sincerely be-
lieve the best interests of the coun-
try will be subserved by his election.
1t is time for a change in the admin
istration of the government, a change
of measures and of men, Our candi-
date owes the nomination not to any
one man or any set Of men, but only
the people themselves. If elected, he
will be the president himself and not
a dummy for any man. He will not
be led around with string like a
great big Gagged bear"
The Democratic candidate received
was cheered to the echo and the
large audience reluctantly obeyed his
gesture to them to become quiet. He
expressed his appreciation of the cor
dial welcome he had received lin the
capital of ournation's greatest state"
and replied to Mr.. Hill by saying:
II appreciate the more than gener-
Gus words employed by Senator Hill
in presenting me to you. One of the
pleasures of this campaign is the ele-
ment that manifests itself in the
Democratic party. AS the candidate
for president 1 have behind me a
united Democracy, and in front of me
a scared Republican party" He de-
clared that the Democratic party was
full of fight while the Republican par
ty was full Of fright 81 believe" he
continued, that We are going to win
a great victory, and, my friends, l am
glad that Senator Hill, the hero of so
many battlefelds, Is fighting by my
side, prepared to share with me the
joys of a Democratic triumph. This
victory would be incomplete If it
were sectional victory. But l be-
lieve that this victory is going to be
won by the cooperation of the east
and the west, the north and the
south, and that it will cement the
Democratic party as fighting force"
In the course of the day Mr. Bryan
made speeches at Hastings-on-the-
Hudson, Tarrytown, Ossining, Peeks-
kill, Cold Springs, Ffshkill, Pough-
keepsie, Rhinecliff, Hudson, Rensse-
iaer, Schenectady and Troy. Every
where along the line of travel i'm
mense crowds turned out in the rain
to hear him. He frequently left the
train to make speeches. His recep-
ton at Schenectady was notable. Two
of his three speeches were made in
the open to employees Of the locomo-
tive works and the General Electric
company, who, Notwithstanding the
drenching they got, stayed through.
out his speech, often interrupting it
with cheers of approval. He told
them the tide was fast turning with
the Democratic party and that re-
ports from all over the country indi-
Gated a big Democratic victory.
