don't go hundreds or miles away TO
speak my mind.
Merely Follows Kern.
Mr.. Beveridge does not stand for
any important reform that Mr.. Kern
has not stooS FOR longer and fought
harder for than Mr.. Beveridge so |
can't understand why any Democrat
should be expected to vote for a Re.
publican member OF the legislature"
Col. Bryan had 10 sympathy for the
ia IN commission idea.
ITO admit that a tariff commission
Is necessary 10 remedy tariff Injustice
Is 10 admit that Republican tariffs have
been fun of injustice" he said. 1--WE
Democrats agree as 10 the last. We
think. however. we have sufficient
brains in the party TO make an equita-
bic tarin adjustment without such a
questionable dele sltion Of power as Is
contained in the tariff commission
proposition"
Referring 10 RooseVelt's opposition
TO publicity ia the matter OF cam
paign funds during the Taft cam
paign, and his recent declaration in
favor of the same thing, Col. Bryan
said:
"IIe certainly is on both sides OF
the question now. He has a foot on
either side of the fence. but we are
glad 10 see him progressive along this
line, even II he is a little slow IN talk
ing about purifying politics That's
the way to go about IT, Well. John
w Kern was hghting for Just that
kind Of thing before Senator Bev-
eridge or any other leader Of his par.
~ had consented to consider the de-
mand as possessing any Importance at
Ossawatomie.'

He pointed out that the people of the

from Congress with such men as
Chsuncey Depew in the Senate. charg-
ing Senator pepew With receiving a
salary OF $50, 900 year from the New
York Central.
Il don't know how much OF this |
new nationsiism' Beverage indorses,"
said Mr Bryan. but IL he Is as en-
thusfastis over Teddy as Teddy IL over 4
him, there is little likelihood of the |
new doctrine suffering at Mr.. Bever- |
ftges hands"
Col. Bryan spoke OF Roospvelt,s /
present denunciations Of the iaterfer- II
enee OF corporations In politics. He
said:
Our Kansas City platform de-
nounced the Same interference IN 1900 |
and II yos VIII take our declaration
and Roosevelt's az Ossawatomie ten
years later and shake them IN q big
bag You would have difficulty IN dis
covering which was which.
John Kern was fighting against this
corporate Influence q decade before
Nj. Rooseveit entered the arena"
Should join Democrats.
Mr. Roosevelt" he continued.
says he Is going to drive the crooks
out OF bis party. think Mr. Bever-
hge Win secretly admit that some Of
them have managed 10 get into the
Senate. Why doesn't he Join with De
nocracy In speaking out for O direct
vote for senators? That will certain
ly DO a step in aid OF Mr. Roosevet's
efforts to drive the crooks out OF poi
iticS"

friends and admirers in Indiana and
they turned out to hear him. Col. Bry-
ans strong Endorsement OF Mr. Kern
for the United States Senate met with
the hearty approval Of his audiences
and his faith in the success OF the en-
tire Democratic ticket was reflected in
