Th« increase in the number of officeholders is

Thp.ra are twt>. reasons wby the Tlepublican
1-adex* are less careful of expenditures than
the I>emoc.rat? Tbe first is to be found In the
fact that the Republican leaders are more inti
mately associated with the tax eaters than -with
the tax payers, and being governed by public
opinion with hich they come into contact they
naturally lean toward extravagance.
The second reason is to be found in th* fact
that the Republican leaders have been repre
iienting taxation as a blessing, and they nat
: urallv want to give the people as much of the
blessing as possible. They argue that we should
have a high tariff whether we n.-ed tte revenue
or not. but recognizing: that there is fome op
• ■osltion tn unnecessary taxation they try to
make the appropriations high enough to compel
the extortionate tariff rates demanded by the
protected interests. The Democratic party, be
lieving that a tax is a necessary evil, endeavors
to limit the tax to the actual needs of the gov
ernment economically administered.
HIS RESPECTS TO MR. ROOSEVELT.
" Tfce present campaign presents another ten
dency of the Republican party— namely, to sub
stitute a Presidential successor for the Demo
cratic plan of popular selection. The President
felt it his duty to select a Republican nominee,
and having reached the conclusion that he ought
to wlect such a nominee, he brought the influ
ence of his great office to bear in behalf of the
candidate of his personal choice, and is now
using his influence to secure the election o*
the candidate- whom he assisted in nominating:. t
Our platform Fays:
! -We condemn sb a violation of the spirit o.
nur institutions the action of the present Chief
Executive ir. using the patronage of his nigh
office to secure, the nomination for the Presi
d-ncv of one of his Cabinet officers. A forced
succession in the Presidency is scarcely less re
pugnant to public sentiment than is life tenure
in that office No good Intention on the part
lof the Executive and no virtue in the one se
jlpcted can ju-tify the establishment of a

officials if inalienable and cannot he delegated.
• If Mr. Roosevelt can pick out the Republican
candidate this year and then use the prestige of
; his offk-e and the influence of the army of office
• holders to elect him. may not Mr. Taft pick out
* Fuecessorand elect him. and so on from admin
istration to administration? It Is no defence of
«ucb an interference with the popular vrill to
say that the guilty party means well. Kings
have often meant well whenever they have sup
pressed free speech and representative govern
ment, and in aristocracies the few have often
meant well when they ride rough shod over the
opinions of the multitude. Our government
rests upon the will of the people, and any inter
ference with the free choice of the people, either
"fefore nominations or after nominations, is con
trary t<-> the spirit of our institutions.
The time to correct this abuse and to stop this
tendency is now. If this attempt is successful, it
•vrill be accepted as a precedent for another at
tempt, and the people havine submitted once
•will be 1«k? aroused by repetition of the attempt.
The third dansrevouF tendency of the Repub
lican party is toward centralization. Its leaders
are Inclined to overlook state lines and to advo
cate legislation and admini.-trativr- - methods
■which enlarge the power of the central govern
ment. The safety of the T7nlon depends upon
the preservation of the distinction drawn in the.
Constitution between state and nation. The
nstiort has Its delegated powers; the state Its re
served powers. Only by the recognition of this
division can the balance between *>tate.;and
nation be maintained. „ . ...,-.-

tends also to disregard of constitutional princi
ples of government : ;
The third Republican tendency to which I call
your attention is the tendency toward socialism.
The" Republican party Is loud in its denuncia
tion of socialism, but it is constantly feeding
and augmenting the socialistic spirit; it permits
buses which cast an odium upon individualism,
and furnish an argument to the socialists. It
cultivates the idea that the government must
act as a v.-et nurse for favored industries, In
f-tead of cultivating industrial independence and
a sMrtt of self-reliance. In its latest national
platform it boldly declares that reasonable
profits should be guaranteed to the protected in
dustries. It defends the principle of monopoly
on the theory that competition U hurtful. In
taking this position it supports the main con
tention of the socialists. Mr. Taft. the Repub
lican candidate, in the speech announcing his
candidacy, advocated such amendment of the
anti-trust law as would make it apply only to
unreasonable restraint of trade. This idea that
reasonable restraint of trade is unobjectionable
is the entering wedge— it is the first step toward
the annihilation of the principle of competition.
DEMOCRATS AND SOCIAL/ISM.
The Democratic party has. been called a so
cialistic party, and I have been denounced as a
socialist. I contend that the Republican party,
not the Democratic party, is aiding the social
istic party: and this is evidenced from the fact
that the socialist leaders prefer Republican buc
cess to Democratic success. They fear the Dem
ocratic reforms will retard socialism, and they
believe that Republican abuses can be used to
arouse opposition to the entire competitive sys
tem. The Democratic party believes that the
socialist Is honest, but mistaken; The Demo
cratic party would argue with the socialist,
while the Republican party denounces him: but
the Democratic party would remove the spirit
of unrest and discontent by eliminating the
abuses that are the foundation of unrest and
discontent.
We appeal to the sober sense of the American
people, and ask that they join us in the inaugu
ration of reforms which will restore the gov
ernment to its old foundations and win for the
povernment the love of all the people by making
it the protector of every class and the friend of
every legitimate Interest and enternrise.
In this campaign our appeal 'will be effective
in all departments of industry, among all classes
of society and in every section. The young man
will find hope in our party because it opens the
door of opportunity before him. The middle
aged man will find hope in a Democratic victory
because it gives him a larger field for labor and
a surer reward. The old man finds a Justifica
tion for voting with us. for he wants to leave
to his children and his children's children a gov
ernment that will protect them in the enjoyment
of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The poor will come with us, because they find
in our policies the protection of their rights, and
the rich will come with us, because in leaving to
posterity a good government they leave more
than wealth In dollars and land.
I am glad to be the leader for the time being
of such a party, the candidate of such a neo
ple, the representative of such ideals, and if in
trusted by my countrymen with the responsi
bilities of this highest office in the gift of tha
people of the world, every energy will be de
voted to that end that this may become again a
government In which the people rule and under
which every citizen can secure a reward in pro
portion to his rnerlt.
At one point In his Epeech Mr. Bryan wanted
to read a passage from the Democratic plat
form, but he couldn't see, and had to draw a
pair of spectacles out of his pocket. "I didn't
have to use these things when I first began to
run for President." he said, while the audience
ho-wled with delight.
The speech was an hour and fifty-five min
utes long. Along toward the last the audience
began to filter out of the galleries, which were
half empty before Mr. Bryan was finished.

appeared. """'■*',
President Zlegel of the Commercial Travel f
League Introduced Judge Charles F. Moore as tho
chairman of the meeting. G. K. Wilson. "Matt"
Harrington, the labor leader, John S. Crosby and
Representative William Sulrer^then took turns at
amusing the, audience. The last named had his
*peech cut 6hort— but not very short— by the ap
pearance of the Democratic candidate.
Colonel Bryan delivered a characteristic cpeech,
emphasizing his scheme for reducing the sise of
the trusts that handled over 50 per cent of their
line of business in the United States. He repeated
his claims of corruption in the Republican party
and abused, the executive, legislative and judicial
departments impartially and without restraint. Mr.
Bryan was consistently down on all monopolies,
except his monopoly of representing the people.
He did not, however, explain how, when he be
came "heir to the Roosevelt policies," he divided
the responsibility of representation with the Fresl
dont. leaving him as Bgent for the trusts, but hira
eelf reserving the right to represent the people.
Mr. Bryan spoke slowly and distinctly. His
voice carried well, and he was easily heard in
every part of the large hali. He received consid
erable applause, but this was almost without ex
ception in recognition of some clever remark or
paraphrase of the Bibla rather than in appreciation
of any policy that he recommended. He said,
among other things:
I am glad to he here as th* guest of travelling
men. I am glad to talk to travelling men and l ap
prciate the work they can do in politics and busi
ness I don't kn.v.- any people who talk more or
better than the travelling men. I know of no class
better acquainted with business conditions or in a
better position to judge intelligently of the senti
ment among business men. These men act as a
mbans of communication between the city and the
country. They are the telephone 1 by which the
city pp'eaks t>> the country. Travelling men are m
teresteo In all Questions that make for the welfare
of the whole people. One thing brings us into very
vital touch with all travelling men. Take the trust
question as the one which comes closest to him. it
Is competition which makes travelling men. The
trust will ruin competition, and thus ruin traveling
men.
To-day competition compels the merchant to get
the besi brains lit can find, to get the best men he
can get; Jbut if a complete monopoly is secured, it
is not necessary to secure a brain> man — a son-in
law wih 6c. The buyer will have to come to the
monopolist to purchase, and travel? ing men are not
needed. a
My ptper. "The Commoner," never accepts ad
vertisenieuy from trusts. I won't have anything
to do with them. No corporation can have an in
terest in my paper. I own it all myself. I can do
wiiat I want with it. There Is no concealment or
my purpose. It Is to defend the common people.
While I am away my brother has charge of it.
I want io toll you our remedy on the trust ques
tion. W© don't object to production. It may be as
larg* as possible until the line of monopoly is
reached. But it is how to tell when a corporation
reaches the point of monopoly. We say arbitrarily
at from 2r- to ."P per tent of all manufactured. But
when a corporation reaches 25 per cent of tht- total
production of tiiat commodity we say it shall com*
under government supervision, and then it may go
up to oO per cent of the total production, one-half
the entire product In the country; then we say that
production shull stop.
Mr. Bryan said that the Socialists were more
logical than the Republicans, and followed that
statement up with the announcement that Mr. Tait
would be afraid to publish before Election Day
the amount of money subscribed by members of
the United States Steel Corporation. He said that
if they did not support the Republican party it
would be a glaring piece of ingratitude.

■William Jennings Bryan had a strenuous day in
this city yesterday. Arriving in Jerney City from
Wilmington nt JO o'clock, he went direct to the
Hoffman House, the headquarters of the. Demo
cratic National Committee, where he Teas in con
ference with scores of leaders of the party until
he went to the home of Melbert B. Cary, at N<->
33 West 51st street, where h« dined with & party
of friends, and where he. spent the. night. Only
! once before did he leave the Hoffman House,
when he went to address a meeting of the- Com
mercial Travellers' League at No. 537 Broadway.
Last night Mr. Bryan addressed a meeting in Car
negie Hall, which was packed to the doors.
Among those, who called on Mr. Bryan at th»
Hoffman House were Mayor McClellan and Sen
ator Patrick H. McCarren. Daniel F. Cohalan, rep
resenting Charles F. Murphy, did not ■•• Mr.
Bryan until after dinner. It was said at head
quarters that Mr. Murphy was slightly under the
weather, but Thomas F. Smith said that he had
missed his train from Good Ground. The Brooklyn
I Senator, who is smarting under the affront placed
upon him by Murphy at tho Rochester convention,
had a private audience with the Democratic candi
date which lasted for forty minute*. Mr. Bryan la
bored with him for harmony, and the Senator
promised to arrange a Bryan meeting in Brooklyn.
When he came out the Senator aald of course
he would support the ticket, but he did not appear
I to be overenthusiastlc.
Mayor MeClellan offered to do everything In hi<"
I power to assist Mr. Bryan in the campaign. He
will preside at a large meeting to be held in thi»
, city, and may be called on to make several speeclfes
I in other cities If he can find the time.
MR. BRYAN TIRED OUT.
I Mr.. Bryan is almost exhausted on account of the
strenuous schedule he has been carrying out slnc«
he left the Wes*. The train left Wilmington no
early yesterday morning that Mr. Bryan waa un
able to get breakfast, and he had nothing to eat
| until nearly noon, when he snatched a hasty meal
while discussing politics with visitors.
i After reaching the Hoffman House Mr. Bryan re-
I plied, to a long series of questions of newspaper
1 men. Regarding his attitude on tho Roosevelt poli
j cies and the fact that he has been careful not to
criticise the President in the West, Mr. Bryan said:
"There is a great deal of confusion as to Mr.
Roosevelt's policies. A distinction ought to be
j drawn between his popular policies and his un
j popular policies. You cannot cover both kinds o.
; policies in the same language.
"Some of Mr. Roosevelt's policies are popular in
I the West: some are unpopular. The popular ones
are those that have been borrowed from the Demo
cratic party, and the unpopular ones are thoae
upon which the Republican party has a patent.
"I have criticised Mr. Roosevelt where I thought
j he was wrong. I . have commended him where I
; thought he was right, and I have done this with
i out waiting to see whether his actions were popu
j lar or not.
"I have been careful to distinguish between th«
things which I approved and the things which I
I disapproved, but the newspapers have not always
j observed that distinction. Very often a paper will
j take a small part of a speech, selecting that part
I which it desires to emphasize, and the part taken
I out sometimes gives a false impression.
"It is difficult to remedy this sort of misrepre
sentation, because a speech of an hour or an hour
j and a half is too lorg to be reported, as a rule, ex
cept by the local papers, and often they only re
port a part.
NEVER INDORSED MR. ROOSEVELT.
"I have never indcrsed Mr. Roosevelt, but I have
indorsed things that he nas said and things he has
done, just as I have, criticised things that he has
said and things that he has done. I have been
specific In both my indorsements and my criticisms.
"There have been many different versions of your
! 'heir apparent' remark— just what did you say?"
I was asked.
"I said," replied Mr. Bryan, "that so far as re
! forms were concerned I was not Qnly the heir ap
' parent but the parent— meaning that as the rep
resentative of the Democratic party I was enti
tled to the support oi those who favor reforms, and
I that those reforms which have made the President
i popular, having been borrowed from the Demo
cratic party, naturally revert to the Democratic
party.
"But here, t»o, you must distinguish between the
Democratic reforms which the Democrats in Con
gress have favored and the undemocratic proposi
tions which th« Democrats in Congress have op
posed."
Asked if ho had noticed any difference in the way
hs was treated in the East now and when he was a
candidate before, h» replied that he thought there
was not that marked feeling of hostility to the
Democratic platform or the fear that Democratic
victory would be followed by depression. The Re
publican platform, lie said, was ambiguous and
evasive.
Mr. Bryan was careful not to make any sweep
ing statements regarding th« result of the cam
paign. He generalized as follows:
"I think It can b« safely stated that the changes
being made from one side to the other show a net
erain to our party in all parts of the country— that
is. the tidal wave, so to speak, is running In our
favor. In gome places th» accessions to our party
are more numerous than *.n other parts, but every
where the trend is toward the Democratic, party.
I am not in a position to discuss relative gain* in
different localities or to estimate the total change.
CAUSES OF HARMONY.
"Several causes have contributed to bring about
the harmony now existing In our rank?. The spe
cial cause of disagreement In the Democratic party
in 1900 was the money question. That question
having been eliminated by conditions, it no longer
separates Democrats.
Mr. Bryan declared that there was a steady trend
toward Democratic principles. "And this growth of
sentiment," he added, "has b*>en accelerated by the
advocacy of certain Democratic policies by Re
publican reformers. There Is constant advance
toward the remedying of abuses, and this advance.
while bringing the Democratic party together, has
divided the Republican party, that party being re
sponsible for abuses -which ought to have been
remedied. The flght in Repubii-.an ranks between
the 'stand-pattrr' and the reformer is a real flght.
and it cannot be postponed.
"Th are some of the things that have con
tributed to Improve the chances of the Democratic
party." --_
Mr. Bryan aaid he thought the sentiment of or
ganized labor was largely for tha Democratic
party, and attributed it to the labor planks in th«
Democratic platform. He was asked if the fulfil
ment of the promises made to labor men would
not •widen the breach between capital and labor,
and he replied:
"No: the effert of the immediate legislation jro-"
posed by the Democrats will be to. bring labor and
capital Into harmonious co-operation. I think the
capitalist. If he will take a far sighted view of his
own interest, will see that permanent prosperity is
only possible when there aro harmonious relations
between labor and capital, and that harmonious
relations are only possible when there Is justice
between employer and employe. Our platform
a?ks for nothing more than slmplo Justice."
"THE COMMONER" NOT A CORPORATION.
R»p-ardir<g the statement maim in his speech on
Thursday that the United Statin Ste.l Corporation
wa* supporting the Republican ticket and the
reply of George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the Re
publican National Committee, that an oftVer of
the steel corporation had as much right to sup
port the Republican party la his individual capacity
as an officer of the Commoner company, Mr.
Bryan said:
" 'The Commoner" is not a corporation. I think
Mr. Sheldon is correct in saying that an officer of
the Steel Trust ha 3 a perfect right to support the
Republican party, and I think that out of gratitude
he ought to do fro. But If the trust ofllcials sup
port the Republican party, the people- who are
victimized by the trusts have a right to construe
and Interpret the acts of the trust officials sn sup
porting the Republican ticket, and It Is fair to as
sume that trust officials support the Republican
ticket because they regard thr- Republican party as
more friendly to the trusts than the Democratic
party is."

charges that Oovernor Haakell of <Jklah<»ni.< who
