Carnegie Hall, New York, Sept 49,
| One of the greatest demonstrations
ever given a Presidential candidate in
this city was given Mr. Bryan tonight
when he was seen approaching Carne-
| gle hall in big red automobile. The
| crowd of 10000 or more persons which
could not gain admission to Carnegie
| hall, waited in the streets to catch
| glimpse of Bryan and as soon as he
| was sighted the crowd began shouting.
| The candidate was taken to a flag
| draped cart and from it he made a
brief speech, He was cheered repeated
ly, especially when a man in the crowd
tried to argue with him and Bryan
made a squelehing reply
Il can speak to you only briefly. as
| have d long speech to make inside"
said Mr.. Bryan. Let me call your at
tention to the marked difference be-
! tween the Republican platform and
ours. The Republican platform is diff
ferent especially in not outlining neces-
sary legislation. Our platform tells the
public what We think ought to be done.
We take the people into our confidence.
Thus we show not only our faith in
the merits of our policies but also in
the intelligence of the voters. The Re-
publican party, however. either lacks
faith in the merits of whatever their
policies might be, or it lacks faith in
your Intelligence.
Nov there are four propositions as
to labor for which we stand. First, We
believe that there should be depart

at it's head. Second, We believe tina!
labor should be taken out OF the oper-
alton of the trust law. Third, we be-
lieve that an industrial dispute should
not be sufficient cause for the issu-
ance CT an injunction. Fourth, We be-
ieve in trials by jury in cases of in
direct contempt"
