BRYAN SPEAKS IN
AID OF DEMOCRATS

Salt Lake, Utah, October 20
A crowded house greeted William
Jennings Bryan in the Orpheum thea
ter at noon. The first floor of the
big auditorium was filled long before
noon and when Mr.. Bryan arrived,
few minutes after IL o'clock, every
seat in the balcony was filled with
eager faces. Hundreds were turned
away, unable to get close enough to
even hear the famous democrat.
Every man, woman and child IN
that vast audience arose when Mr..
Bryan was introduced and they cheer
ed and applauded him in manner
that might have turned the head of
a less seasoned campaigner. And, as
Mr.. Bryan said, this enthusiasm could
hardly be accredited to curiosity.
"For something more than quart
err of century," said Mr.. Bryon, II
have been making pilgrimages to Salt
Lake. The days of curiosity in regard
to me are past. have been candi
date so often that curiosity no longer
brings the people out. Now am con-
vinced that you are interested in the
candidates whom am here to support,
you wish to compliment me person
ally or you desire to see the light"
Matter of Principle.
With these brief preliminary re-
marks, following his introduction by
Dan b. Shields, Salt Lake county
chairman, Mr.. Bryan launched into
an impassioned and comprehensive ar
gument to convince the people that
they should support Senator William
II. King for reelection and also elect
d. C. Dunbar and Milton III. yelling
to the lower house of congress. Mr..
Bryan said it would make him happy
to have this brought about,
but, more than that, he spoke for prin-
eiples rather than men.
"The chances are favorable for
democratic congress-" said Mr.. Bryan.
II never knew time when there was
so many just grievances against an adj
as now. Those who voted
for our opponents by mistake two
years ago will not repeat that mistake
and many others are focking to the
democratic side, so that it is reason
able to expect reversal in the house
Of representatives. We hardly expect
to capture the senate, but we must
get all we can there and certainly
must hold all the democratic senators
we now have, in order that, two years
from now, when we elect a democratic
president, we will have him supported
by both houses Of congress.
Better Than Wealth.
" | am here because | am interested
primarily and personally. For twen-
ty-five years | have had nothing to
do but study politics, men and the
problems of government. | believe
that, if Utah elects the democratic
candidates, | will be
happier over the result than will any
one Of them. Their happiness will be
by responsibility and mine
will not. ] think the greatest thing
a father can leave to his children is
4 good government. 1t is better than
wealth, which causes dissension and
divides houses. A good
government will guarantee to each

happiness. / owe great deal to- my
/ cannot pay it back, but
will do what | can in instalments."
Declaring that the rest of the work
would be easier if lines were drawn
to show just where the people belong
ed, Mr.. Bryan said he would endea-
vor to draw line between the tax
payer and the tax-eater. This is en-
oarrassing to politicians, he said, be-
cause the lines were annoying.
AN important thing in cam
raign," said Mr.. Bryan, as to have
the candidate on the same side with
The people. The taX-eaters are not
so numerous as the taxpayers, but
they are more noisy and they always
