The Democratic candidate, although
he had but six hours sleep. appeared
fresh and strong when he delivered
his first Of sixteen speeches of the
day at Hammond at T:30 O'Clock.
Democracy Near to the People.
His voice was in splendid condition
and he commanded the strict attention
of his audience. His favorite themes
today We're the plaRks of the Demo-
cratic platform relating to labor, the
guaranty of bank deposits and the
publicity OF campaign contributions
and he frequently aroused his auditors
to high pitch of enthusiasm. He ap-
pealed for support of the Democratic
party on the ground that it was
nearer TO the people, and pledged HIM
self to devote all his energies TO ful-
fillmenJ of the promises contained in
his platform. He denounced the
banked who would gamble on the
stock market and thereby place in
jeopardy the funds intrusted to his
care. To the laboring men he pointed
to Mr.. Taft as their enemy. and he
said Mr.. Taft had nothing to offer in
the way of relief. President ROose-
welt was again scored for the part he
mas played in the campaign.
Accompanied by Candidates.
The whole journey was made in
special train. and the route traversed
was almost in a straight line south of
Chicago. At various times during the
day Mr.. Bryan was accompanied by
candidates for states offices and for
congress- including Thomas Marshall,
the Democratic nominee for governor;
Stokes Jackson. state chairman; w
Travelled as the representative of the
national committed
IN his principal remarks here to-
night Mr.. Bryan said. in part:
Speeches in Louisville.
Il called attention yesterday to the
fact that the Republican congressional
committee has not promised to make
known its contributions, even after the
election. When the Republican ma
tional committee announced that the
contributions made TO the committee
would be made public after the cleo
ton. il condemned the policy of secrecy
as to contributions, though it refused
to give the people the benefit Of the
publicity until after the votes are
polled. Win the Republican congress
sional committee now announce its
policy? If it refused to promise publi-
city even after election what conclu-
sion shall we draw from its silence?
It comes under the condemnation of
the Republican national committee.
and there can be but one explanation
of its refusal to give the names of
contributors, and that explanation is
that the congressional committee is to
be made the blind pool into which
money viii be poured which will be too
tainted to give to the Republican ma
tional committee. 1 demand an an
swer 70 the question. VIII the Repub-
lican congressional committee promise
to give to the public the names of the
contributors to the congressional
fund?
Charge of Corruption.
THE campaign as drawing to a close.
We had collected something like $780,
600 up to the 5th of October. and the
chairman announced that we woulc
need about 100000 more for the COM
pletion of tie campaign The Repub-
lican committee has refused to tell the
public how much it has collected, but
Republican newspapers announce that
money has been pouring into the
treasury lately and large sums would
be sent into the doubtful states.
What use is to be made of these
large sums at this period of the cam
paign? 1t is not to be used for litera-
ture. for tie circulation of the litera-
ture has almost passed. II is not to
be used for the perfecting of the or
ganization, for the organization has
already been perfected. What other
use can be contemplated except the
purchase of such votes as can be pur-
chased.
No Scrupies in the Past.
''The Republican leaders have not
scrupled at purchasing in the past
and / call your attention to the fact
that purchase is now contemplated
wherever "a purchaseabl voter can be
found How long will the American
people permit the corruption of politics
by the predatory interests? How long
can the Republican party claim 20 be
a moral agency while its leaders resort
to the secret contributions and to the
enormous corruption fund.-"
