NO, no. policeman. lhat ma
means well. Let him alone
The officer went 10 the rear or tn
hall, and the crowd applauded wildly
= II believe that Mr.. Taft and MI
/ Roosevelt are patriots" Mr.. Bryan
continued. They would have stoot
together 10 protect the country from
such a disaster, bad they really be
| lieyed a panic would come.
my third dose is the patriotic
dose The only thing that can brinl
panic today Is the deliberate, con
certed action OF a group of financiers
II Is the greatest indictment OF the
Republican party that these men car
give us panic or prosperity at will
DO you mean to tell me that these
men are so heartless as 10 bring the
people TO poverty II their candidate
isn't elected? If We must have the
man. whom Wall-st. dictates. why dc
we have conventions, platforms, cam
paigns, elections? II We must accept
this dlctation, we are not 90, 10000
free men, but 30000.000 slaves.
have not yet said that even under the
system ] have despised and fought
against, men are so helpless that they
must go down on their knees to have
bread to eat.
"One more introduction before
get TO my speech"
Crlticises Proeressives.
Mr.. Bryan then described the Chi
cago and Baltimore conventions He
criticized the Progressive party for
not reforming the convention machin
cry as the Democrats have done He
criticized the southern representation
in the Republican party, pointing out
that Mississippi had 25 times as much
influence as Nebraska in th> Republi
can convention in proportion to her
Republican vote.
Not boss helped Mr. Taft this
year who hasn't supported Mr.. Roose
welt in the past" he declared.
A number of Progressives cheered
the name Of Roosevelt, and wave Of
Bull Moose cheering swept the hal
as the Roosevelt following learned Its
strength.
Il understood that Mr.. Roosevelt
has many friends In Michigan" said
Mr.. Bryan. I'm glad you're here
It's the sick who need a physician
not the whole Name one boss who
is supporting Mr. Taft who has not
in the past supported Mr.. Roosevelt.
"Debs." someone shouted. HWil
liam Barnes" cried a man in the gal
lery.
rs there any Republican here who
denies that Barnes helped Roosevelt
In 1904?" asked Mr.. Bryan. There
was silence.
Then shame on you" shouted Mr.
Bryan. for finding fault with a boss
when he helps one man and not find
ing fault with him when he helps an
other" The applause was deafening
"Mr. Roosevelt says the Baltimore
convention was controlled by bosses
Either he doesn't know what he's
talking about or he doesn't say what
he knows. The bosses went from the
Baltimore convention the worst whip
ped bunch that ever went out BY q
vote of $50 TO 1876 that convention
notified the world that three corrupt
ers of politics whom 1t named could
not nominate president in the Demo
cratic party. Did they do that In
Chicago? Did Mr.. Roosevelt do that
No. Why? Because he took as his
financial hacker a man reared in Mr.
Morgan's Office
Perkins" shrieked the crowd
Eight years ago Mr.. Morgan gave
$4,000 for Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign. Four years ago he gave $50,
600 for Mr.. Taft's. Sharle on the
Bull Mooser who finds fault with Taft
when he's only one-hfth as much
value to Morgan as is Mr.. Roosevelt
WaIl-st. Beaten in Baltimore.
Mr. Roosevelt says Wallst. got
the candidate it wanted in Chicago
Let's admit If. Wall-st. did not get
! the candidate IL wanted in Baltimore
lit got the candidate ii did not want
and whom it voted against on 40 bal
lots"
MIR. Bryan said the delegates il
Baltimore received 10000 kilograms
from their districts.
Il turned on the faucet and let the
home influence flow in," he declared
IF any credit belongs to me, it's be
cause | knew where the faucet was
! knew how to turn 1t, and knew nov
high the standpipe stood.
! Its a wonderful thing that mar
can 90 into the White House with
| million and quarter votes 10 spare
! and go out by unanimous consent.
| don't believe what a man told me-
that If Taft gets two votes in this
election, he'll be arrested for repeat
| ing.
Taft Doesn't Trust the People.
! There is one reason for Mr.. TAFT
failure, and that's enough he doesn'
trust the people. He doesn't know
the people lie says they're like chi
drcn playing with matches. He
afraid that if the people run the gov
! eminent, they'll make mistakes, =
he's willing to make the mistakes 70
them, on the theory that he's mad
SO many that one more won't count
A man who doesn't trust the peop
ought not TO be trusted by them. He
afraid of the initiative and referen
DUN. He realizes that the Referendum
/ is a veto But he has used his vet
as no crowned head of Europe eve
dared to use one. He's not afraid Z
nee his veto against the peoples rel
resentatives, but he is afraid to lie
the people have the veto TO protec
themselves against their representa-
! tives
How about the popular electior
of senator's? He has spoken only ono
on the peoples side in 20 years, an
that was is years after the fight be
gan. Then he said Personally / al
inclined 20 favor IT,. II took him j
years TO get MP enough steam TO sa
that, and then the fire went out.
