The local democratic com- mittee, In co-operation with officers of the state central committee, had planned to suspend a number of Bryan banner®across | the principal streets in the downtown sec- tion, and aficr they had been told by Mayor Winnett that they would not be molested & sign-painting firm was employed to do the work. Before the banners were com- pleted, however, a number of large flags bearing pletures of McKinley and Roose- velt made thelr appearance and the scheme of the democrats was at once dropped The Bryan men wanted a monopoly of the | street banner business, and when they saw opposition emblems flying in conspicuous plac about town they immediately re called an old ordinance that said some- thing about overhead signs. On investiga- tion it was found that the ordinance pro- hibited placing signs over streets or side- walks and the democrats decided they could not find a better time for enforcing its provisions. When Counciiman Schroeder introduced his resolution call- ing for the enforcement of all sidewalk and street ordinances the council was unanimously in favor of its adoption, for no one but the popocratic members sus- pected what was tne real purpose of the measure First Time in “We have always allowed place banners over the strects for a legit- imate purpose,” sald a member of the council who has been connected with the city administration for the last ten years, “and so far as my knowledge goes, the privilege has not been denied any one. To be consistent with the resolution, it would be unlawful for the city authorities to al- low the construction of street arches for parades or even the erection of platforms in the streets.'

The meeting | was held in the | in 8pite of a light rain which was falling a ®ood crowd was present. The First congres- | slonal district was represented by Mr. Bryan in congress and since his retirement has been represented by a republican member. Mr. Bryan made a plea for the election of Hon. G. W. Berger, the democratic candi- date for congress. Following this he made an appeal for the support of the whole democratic ticket, comparing the govern- ment to a corporation. He said all citizens were stockholders, as such they owed it to | themselves to look well after the conduct of | directors of the corporation. He charged [ the republican administration, the govern ment directors, with deceit in all its policies Its deception, he sald, had been practiced in re d to the necial sys the trusts and the forelgn policy of the country. He charged the republican party with the in- tention of fastening a national debt upon the | | people. He devoted himselt especially to the | | enlargement of the army, saying that it “‘we | could take the Philippine isiands we could | subject any weak people.” | party was bullding its policy upon the plea that “might makes right.”" They were as- serting that the financlal question was (his year the paramount fssue only because the republican party regarded the dollar of more consequence than the man. He dealt upon | liberty as a God-given right, saying the Fili- plnos were as much entitled to it as we are; | In forming them a good government we are only promising what similar circumstances. We have, he as serted, no title to the Philippine slands, | owing to the Declaration of Independence | In the first e Spain had no title, and in | the second place we cannot buy people, nor was it any more profitable than wise to wage forelgn conquest Already more had been spent in the way of treasure in the Philip- pines, to say nothing of blood, than the profits of trade with those islands for many years would amount to, TEMERITY OF A TECUMSEH MAN Unknown in the Audience Catechises Bryan on the Philippines and Filipino Question, court | i | | TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 22.—(Special Tel- | egram.)—~There was much in the nature of disappointment In W. J. Bryan's Tecumseh visit today. In the first place the weather was threatening and owing to a late train the speaker was an hour behind his ap pointed time, at noon, and having a 2 o'clock | engagement in Pawnee City, with a twenty- mile drive, Mr. Bryan allowed himselt but twenty minutes to speak. He said he was sorry that he was so pressed for time, for there were many important {ssues in the present campalgn he desired to discuss with the people of Johoson county. The issue of free silver was not touched, but the speaker diverted his time to a discussion of imperialism and militarism. The repub- lican party of today, he explained, was not a fit party to have charge of the affairs of the nation, for 1t had widely departed from the foundation principles of government of the nation. Some polnted questions were asked the speaker from the audience and his answers were somewhat humorous, but by no means logical. Not over 1,000 people of all political belief heard the address. The most interesting incident was a colloquy between Mr. Bryan and a gentleman in the audience, ev dently a republican, who took the privilege of propounding several questions to the speaker. This gentleman inter- rupted Mr. Bryan toward the close of his speech by suggesting that the Fllipinos were on a par with our Indians Mr. Bryan responded “Now, as I understand you, you think we were right in tuking the property of the Indians ? “No, sir." “Then do you think it right to take the property of the Filipinos?” “No, sir," responded the man in the audience, “and nobody is going to. How | does the treatment of the Filipinos differ trom the treatment of jail birds in this country? Do you believe in punishing the To this lin, the county superintendent, for the In- | jail birds’ Mr. Bryan: “Your face is the face of an intelligent man and you cannot fail to see the difference between putting men into the penitentiary for the commlission of a crime and going over to the Philippines and taking charge of the government of the Filipine i 1 sce a man like you,” was the response of the interlocutor, “who favored the peace treaty, I think that man ought to have some consistency abeut him. “I am much obliged for your mentioning that,"" replied Mr. Bry or 1 should not teel like bringing it to your attentfon un- less called upon to do so. I urged the ratification of the treaty and also urged the passage of a resolution promising in- dependence to the people of the Philip- pines, and if your republican administra tion had passed the resolution there would not have been one drop of .blood shed in the Philippines.” “Oh, that is your opinion? That is not only my opinion, but if you will stop to think about it and give the public the honest result of your thoughts it will be your opinion that if we had made the me promise of inde- ce to the Filipinos that we did to ibans, we would have had no confilct there. Had we treated Cuba as we did the Philippines, there would be war in Cuba today and had we treated the Filipinos as we did the Cubans there would be no war in the Philippines today [SMALL CROWD AT PAWNEE pende the Few People Ou © Hear the Addres y W.

In the month |of March the republican administration coined 4,000,000 sflver dollars at the ratio of 16 to 1 and yet the republicans think the ratio of 16 to 1 fs not right. It is the ratio we have had for thirty-four years and | the republican party today does not ad vocate any change in the ratio.” Mr, Bryan also hinted at what he con sidered another objection to acquiring out- | slde territory addressing himself to re-| publicans and saying: | Under your own administration men | whom your own president selected hav been gulity of embezzlement of the fund the Cubans, and if that occurs right here under the shadow of our own country | what woild be the peculations nnd em- | be ments If we sent men to rule over 7,000,000 1°411p!

FALLS CITY ENDS THE DAY Speech Made There Last Night Closes Mr. Brynn's Hardest Day of the Campatgn FALLS CITY, Neb, Aug. 22—This has been a busy day for Mr. Bryan. He may be sald to have begun the day before yes terday closed, for it was after 1 o'elock this morning when he reached Auburn, his first stopping place after leaving Lincoln Getting a fow hours' sleep there, he was prepared to commence the day early. He began his speech at Auburn shortly after 8 o'clock. There he made an hour's ad- dress, and after being driven rapldly to the depot he was compelled to walt fifty minutes for a delayed train to take him to Tecumseh, the next stopping place. At Tecumseh he spoke comparatively briefly and after taking a hasty dinner, started upon a twenty-two-mile drive across the country to Pawnee. This drive was made by means of three relays in two hour: time. The trip from Pawnee to Falls City was made in a freight caboose, behind a epecial emgine secured by - the Pawnce county committee. Mr. Bryan had the largest audience of the day at the evening meeting at Falls City. The speech was general in its purport. He spoke of the importance of securiug a dem- | ocratic congress, saying that if elected he wanted the opportunity not only to fill the office, but also to sign bills that would remedy tho evils of which the demands | complain. Mr. Bryan expressed himsell as favorable to the election of senators by direct vote of the people and he repeated his declaration of four years ago that no ques- tion I8 settled until it 1s settled right. On this basis nothing has been done for four years past. The republican party had done nothing in the interest of the people at large, but all for the favored few. Among other acts which he charged up against the republicans was the passage of the gold | standard law, which he denounced servile surrender to the national as a| banks not He asserted that the republicans did dare discuss either the currency legislation or the trust question. Referring to the y of the common people | to determine which party to support as against the trusts was to ascertain which | party the trusts themselves were supporting and then take the opposite course. Mr., Bryan also asserted that there is a general decrease in the output of the in- dustr products this year as compared with last year, and he quoted the reports of the commercial agencies in support of this prop- osition. On imperfalism he said: “I don't want our drumbeat heard around the world, but T do want the light of Amerlcan lib- erty to encircle the entire globe.” Mr. Bryan is to leave at 2 30 tomorrow morning for Topeka, reaching that city at 10:30.
