WOODLAND RALLY
Mounted Cowboys Escort Cam

Barbecue Is Enjoyed
Enthusiastic Crowds Greet Re-
publican Leader On His Trip
Through North Dakota

FARGO, n. D.. Sept. 2s.--Big crowds,
manifesting both interest and enthu-
siasm, have surrounded the Taft party
wherever 1t stopped today in its course
over the Great Northern up through
Minnesota and North Dakota. The 16
speeches which Taft delivered during
the day and evening worked havoc with
the splendid voice he started out with
this morning and tonight it is again in
bad condition.
The day had two features, the Grand
Forks meeting and the Fargo rally
tonight. In both places tremendous
crowds were out and in each city the
candidate had to make three speeches.
The Fargo meeting was made unique
by the striking feature of a huge bar
becue. Ten steers and 20 sheep fur
nished food for the multitude. The feast
was participated in by thousands Of
excursionists, some of whom had come
from as far as $50 miles distant.
1t was just dark when the Taft spe-
cfai reached the end of its days run.
and the people of Fargo were out in
force to extend a welcome. A torch
light procession enlivened by the music
of IA bands and made picturesque by a
squad of mounted cowboys with their
characteristic yells escorted the Ohi0an
through the town and out to the forest
where the barbecue was ready TO serve.
The speaking here was done in a
natural amphitheater in a clear place
in the woods Log fires had been lighted
around the circle where stood the great
audience and the hundreds of torches
which remained lighted sent weird
glare over the crowd.
While Taft discussed labor. tariff and
the Roosevelt policies at the various
points along his route he made new
combinations in his speeches and threw
in many touches of local color and
human interest.

its request by the registrar. Neverthe-

Inveighs Against Roosevelt for

mates in Prison

ELK POINT, s. D., Sept. eS.-Con-
Quoting one days campaign in. South
Dakota today William J. Bryan poured
volleys of criticism into the republican
platform, Taft and President Roose-
welt. He covered a good deal of ground
In the state and tonight stopped in
Sioux City, Ia, whence he will leave
In the morning for Rock Island, Ill.
The expectation was to catch a night
train for the Illinois city, but speeches
along the line 50 tired the democratic
candidate he could not make connec-
ton at Sioux City until morning.
Bryan spoke a dozen times. His IA
vorite arguments today were on the
trusts, guarantee of bank deposits and
publicity of campaign contributions be-
fore election. He inveighed against
President Roosevelt, because, as he
said, of the presidents failure to land
any trust magnates In the penitentiary.
and attacked Taft for lodging his plat
form.
The fact that South Dakota was car
ried for the democratic national ticket
in 1896 was referred to by Bryan and
he appealed for that support again on
the ground that the democratic party
proposed real reforms, while the re-
publican party could not be expected to
do anything in that direction. At
every place visited by the democratic
candidate or where his train stopped
for a short time he was met by large
crowds

DENIES AIDING HAYES

Editor Call: In your issue of last
Sunday appeared an item wherein it
is stated that "the Aslatic Exclusion
league is one of the most active agen-
cies promoting the election of Z. A.
Hayes"
From the item referred to. the reader
is led to believe that the exclusion
league and its members are actively
engaged In partisan politics. This is a
most unjust and unwarranted assump-
ton. Mr.. Yoell, as secretary-treasurer
of the league. is in charge of its ofice
and not the undersigned. and his du-
ties as secretary are sufficient to keep
him busy without meddling in party
politics even were he SO inclined. which
he is not.
Mr.. Hayes, Mr.. Tracy and thousands
of others interested in the exclusion
question visit the headquarters of the
league for the purpose of securing in
formation and data, and the allegation
that the Asiatic Exclusion league is
engaged in partisan politics is pre-
posterous. The membership of the
league comes from all political parties,
and the Asiatic exclusion question can
not be made a partisan political issue.
AS for the undersigned, he is a mem :
Der of the union labor party, was a
delegate to the last state and local
union labor party conventions and will
support the nominees of the union
labor party.
Kindly publish the foregoing in the
interests of truth and fair play.
Respectfully.

DEMOCRATS HIDE
NAMES OF DONORS
Acting Contrary to Pledges
Freely Given by Candidate
Bryan
DISPATCH TO THE CALL

CHICAGO. Sept. 2s.-Documentary
names of contributors to the democratic
campaign fund We're placed in the hands
of the republican national committee
today. This in spite of the oft repeated
pledge of w. ]. Bryan that the names
of all donors should be made public,
especially before election,
F. f. Pulte. president of the Pulte
plumbing and heating company of
Grand Rapids, was recently appointed a
collector of campaign funds for the
democratic cause. He was commits
stoned by the national committee
that Is, by the recently deposed Treas
urer Haskell, to collect funds under
the following conditions:
"A complete list of all contributions.
unless otherwise stipulated in the
state of Michigan, containing their ad-
dresses and the amount contributed.
Will be published in pamphlet FORM a
copy of which will be mailed to each
subscriber"
Unless otherwise stipulated, it will
be observed. is the cunningly devised
evasion which makes it possible for
Bryan's financial agents to gather in
large contributions from questionable
'l"ANSo WiIAOul Tie publicity
the candidate promises in his speeches.
All a prospective donor who shrinks
from publicity, like the Standard oil
company, has to do is to take the hint
from the letters sent out on behalf of
the national committee to "stipulate''
that his name and the amount of his
contributions be suppressed
The revelation is particularly timely
In view of the fact that today the
democratic national committee Is to
make public list of the campaign con-
tributions 1t has received. up to date.
This, the democrats managers and
BRYAN say, will prove untrue the re-
port that Governor C. n. Haskell of
Oklahoma, the deposed campaign
treasurer, received 100000 from the
Standard oil company. Whether the
absence of donation from the oil
trust be conclusive evidence that none
was given may be judged in the light
OF the scheme for suppressing contri-
buttons put in operation by the cam
paign managers

vises laboring men to rely on their own
judgment in voting at the coming elec-
