Special to The Daily Express.
Oklahoma city, Oct. 3l.-There is
no longer any apathy in Democratic
ranks in Oklahoma. The party is
aroused not only to interest but to a
high pitch Of enthusiasm. Mr. Bryans
tour Of the state has been a potent
factor in bringing about this result.
Many old and experienced politicians
say the demonstration in Oklahoma
City Tuesday night was the greatest
thing Of the sort they had ever seen.
It was in marked contrast to the re-
cent visit Of Col Roosevelt, Instead
OF the silent curiosity which greeted
the third term candidate there was
manifest throughout Mr.. Bryan's brief
stay The greatest enthusiasm for him
personally and for the Democratic
cause. Thousands were massed about
the Rock Island depot when his spe-
cial train arrived, Notwithstanding ii
was nearly an hour late. Other thou
sands lined the streets and cheered
him as he passed on his way to the
auditorium escorted by toreh-light
procession OF a thousand torches The
Auditorium had been jammed to it's
utmost capacity long before the ar
rival Of the Bryan special and thou
sands crowded about the building fill
ing the streets in front and or the
side when Mr. BRYAN arrived He
spoke for 20 minutes from an auto to
the throngs Chat could not possibly get
inside the doors Of the Auditorium. Il
was nearly 10 o'clock when a way was
forced through the jam OF humanity
that packed every available space in
the Auditorium and Mr. Bryan began
his speech.

AROUSED
BY The BRYAN TOUR

The crowds that had been waiting
patiently, the greater part Of them
since z o'clock, showed that they were
not there merely for curiosity, merely
to get sight Of Mr.. Bryan, They REL
NAMED throughout his speech and
when lie concluded shortly before ~
o'clock the hall was stll packed to
standing room capacity. Several
thousand people stood up throughout
the entire speech Of nearly two hours,
and the concensus of opinion is that
Mr.. Bryan made one Of the greatest
efforts Of his life. The speech was
mastery arraignment of the opposi-
ton and seathing analysis Of the
career and character Of the third term
candidate
All the way from Vinita to Okla
homa city there were big crowds and
the greatest enthusiasm. AT Musko-
gee, where he was introduced by ex-
Gov Haskell, Mr. Bryan spoke for
nearly an hour to at least 5000 people,
and at Shawnee even a greater crowd
greeted him. Crowds all along the
way ranged from 1900 to $500. The
second days tour mostly in the more
strongly Democratic section Of the
state, brought out even larger crowds
and probably was Of more real service,
since it is expected to be an import
ant influence in bringing out the
heavy Democratic vote.
Managers Of the Democratic cam.
paign expressed satisfaction over the
situation They believe that the Bryan
tour has come at the most opportune
time and that it has given impetus
as to what now promises to be a Dem
ocratic tidal wave in Oklahoma.

London, Oct. s1.-Thg silence OF
Sofia concerning the great battle in
Thrace was broken by a brief dispatch
describing the capture OF the town Of
Luleburgas.
This dispatch and equally laconic
dispatches from the Turkish COM
mander, contain the only news yet
available and still leaves the situa-
tion rather obscure
The message from Sofia apparently
refers to earlier events. while the dis
patch from Nazim Pasha, the Turkish
minister OF war. describes two battles.
one a sortie from Adrianople in the
direction Of Maras. the other in the
direction Of Visa. from which it must
be inferred that the engagements are
extending over a long front.
That the Bulgarlaus are bringing up
all available resources is evident ac.
cording to dispatch from the corre-
spondent Of Vienna Reichspost who
relates that Bulgarian reserves were
arriving all night in the vicinity OF
Adrianople. They were without uni
forms but were adequately supplied
with arms.
No definite news has been received
from the allied armies since Tuesday.
