BRYAN AT HIS
HISBIRTHPLACE
BIRTHPLACE
Enthusiastic Reception to the Demo
cratic Candidate by the Peo
ple of Salem III
Salem 111 Aug 28Xo crowd of
equal size or enthusiasm ever before
turned out in this city the birthplace
of William J Bryan as that cst r
da when the Democratic candidate
stopped over to greet his old friends
and neighbors
The whole population was on hand
early to extend a hearty welcome
when Mr Bryan reached here in the
morning They were augmented later
In the day by thousands who came
In on special trains
The principal event of the day was
a speech by Mr Bryan from a plat
form in the Court House grounds In
which he appealed to the Roosevelt
Republicans to support the Demo
cratic ticket because they cannot
hope for promised reforms from their
party Mr Taft he said was not the
heir to Republican reforms
During the day Mr Bryan divided
most of his time with the Bryan and
Jennings branches of his family Aft
er luncheon he rode out to the ceme
tery and placed lowers on the graves
of his parents and on his way back
to the city inspected the new Bryan
Bennett library presented by himself
and the late Philo S Bennett of Con
necticut The building cost i 500 of
which Mr Bryan contributed 2000 I
He also donated the site which is the
I
spot on which was located the house
in which he was born
I
Thousands Shook His Hand
Several thousand citizens of Salem
and visitors shook the candidates
hand He held receptions at the
Court House hotel and railroad sta
tion where the people fought their
way to get near him
I
While Mr Bryan was talking the I
crowd made up a purse of 300 and i
lianded it to him as a campaign con J
tribution A check for 100 was also +
given by a man from Clinton county I
Preceding Mr Bryans remarks
Theodore A Bell of California chair
man of the Kern notification commit
tee who accompanied Mr Bryan
made a speech in which he compared
I
the platforms of the two leading par
ties Mr Bryan said in part
You know it would bf very hard
for me to make a political speech in
Salem because a good many of my I
earlier acquaintances here are Repub
licans and I wpuld not for the world
hurt the feelings of any Republican
friend I
Applied a Story I
But I was thinking today of a story
that I thought might fill this case es
pecially would it fill the case with the
Republicans who are friendly to Mr
Roosevelt I got this story in Can
ada An American official up there
told it to me He said that there was
a man nominated for office and he I
was very anxious to poll a big vote in t
his home town or the town where he i
was born and he went back there and
made a speech and they turned out
those of his own party and those of
other parties and he made personal
appeal to them He told them that he
was very anxious to have a large vote
in the town of his birth just as a I
compliment to him and in the course I
of his speech he said Many of you
I
will not agree with me in party af
filiations but I believe you will vote
for me just for old friendships sake I
and he pointed to an old man named
Smith
He said Now there is old Brother
Smith I know we do not believe in
the same party but I have known him
from the time I was a boy and he has
known me and I believe that Brother
Smith will vote for me just for old
acquaintances sake Wont ou1
i
Brother Smith
Now Brother Smith was a very
frank old man and he blurted out I I
would vote for the devil first
Well responded the young man
as your friend is not running this
year cannot I expect your vote
And so I feel as the friend of the
Roosevelt Republicans is not running
this year I am going to get some of i
their votes
Was a Stronger Ground
I
But I might put it on a stronger
ground than that There are certain
things that come naturally by descent I
and reforms como by descent You
cannot convey a reform by will The
President has trld to bequeath cer
tain reforms to the Republican candi
date but I am the next of blood in
the reform business and they come to
me In fact I think I could make it
stronger than that If a man dies and
leaves no children the property goes
back to his parents and so far as re
forms are concerned the Republican
party died without heirs and the re
forms go back to the one from whom
the Republican party got the reforms
So I think I have a right to expect
a good many Republican votes this
yearThen my friends I am expecting
large additions to the Democratic vote
because the times are ripe for a
change in administration Mr Taft
was making a speech over in Vir
ginia and he forgot there was a
country outside and he was making
a speech for the Republicans of Vir
ginia and he told those people that
when a party stayed in power a good
while it was apt to become corrupt
and it was a good thing to have a
change His remarks have a larger
application than he made of them that
day and if a party in a state will get
in a position where a change is nec
essary or even desirable I want to
say to you that when you apply it to
a national party the reason for a
change is still greater for the further
many get away from home the more
apt they are to forget the people at
the home and these Republicans in
national offices have been serving far
away from home and they have for
gotten the struggling masses at home
Shall the People Rule I
In our platform we declared that
the overshadowing issue was Shall
the people rule Mr Taft says that
they do rule That is a question about
which there is a difference of opin
ion A11 who think they do rule to

A PERILOUS POSITION

Board Spanning a Chasm Over

tial resumption of the telegraph lines
throughout the flood devastated coun
try brings additional news of heavy
property loss and the narrow escape
of 2 50 passengers on a northbound

I of Cornbread in Europe
I
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
who is making his first European
tour likes London very much though
he sighs in vain for the delicacies of
the tables of down South accord
ing to an interview he gave recently
in London
I If you will only tell me said the
i senator where I can yet some real
cornmeal in this town you will make
I
me your debtor for life
Well sir he continued Ive had
a hard time to get something to eat
over here You know a man used all
his life to our Southern cooking just
naturally craves for something that
has corn in it I dont eat beef and I
have had the hardest time trying to
explain what I mean by breakfast
I bacon but as for cornbread and
hominy why sir I havent been able
to find a trace of them anywhere so
I just thought if I could only find
somebody to tell me where I could get
some cornmeal I would take it to my
stopping place and show the cook how
to make a nice yellow pone of corn
bread or an ashcake Brompton road
did you say I am certainly much
obliged
