BRYAN DENOUNCES
TWO CANDIDATES
TAFT and Roosevelt Both Subjected to
Criticism; LaFollette Given
Praise.

Pueblo, Colo. Sept 1s.-Denuncia~
ton of Taft and Roosevelt was the
chief feature Of a speech by William
j. Bryan at the Colorado state fair
Tuesday. He referred to President Taft
as an 'aristocrat by birth and early
environment and said that later as
sociations with the interest had de-
veloped his aristocracy.
Roosevelt would have been satisfied
with the republican party had he been
nominated, Bryan said
"Taft is honest and means we'll, said
the commoner, 'but he has not con-
fIdence in the intelligence Of the aver
age man.
"A year ago Roosevelt never raised
q hand to help LaFollette In his fight
with Taft, and LaFollette is thousand
times better reformer than Roosevelt
ever was"

use controlled companies to break
down competition and secure for them.
