Dupont, Head of the Powder Trust, to the Front in Re- publican Campaign. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. %.—John Worth Bern, Democratic candidate for Vice- President, was formally notified to-day of his nomination. The meeting was held tm the elaborately decorated Colosseum at the State Fair Grounds and was at- tended by about 15,000 persons, regard- lets of party, attracted by the distin- Gulshed speakers on the programme, ‘Tha weather was ideal, clear and cool, with @ pleasant breeze that swept over the grounds, While Mr. Kern was the central figure ‘Yn. the ceremonies Mr. Bryan was the Magnet that drew thousands, all eager to hear his speech on “The Trusts." Thomas Taggart, national committee man from Indiana, opened the meeting and then immediately handed the gavel to National Chairman Mack, who intro- duced Theodore E. Bell, of California, chairman of the Notification Committee, who’ formally notified Mr. Kern that he had been selected by tho Demooratic party to go on the national ticket with Mr, Bryan. Mr, Kern's speech of acceptance was comparatively brief, he being followed who has been chosen by Mr. Taft as ohatrman of the Speakers’ Committee of the Republican party in the coming campaign, in this fashion: “1¢ fs dmponsible for the Repub- | Henan party to enforce the orl inal lnw against trust oMotale beenuse these oMcials are in- timately connected with the Re- pablican party fn the present cam. paign, Take, for instance, Mr, Du- pont, of Delaware, “Ho te the defendant in @ sult which the Government brought and ts now prosecuting, Mr. Dupont t# acoused of | violation of the Anti-Trust law. Why showd he be put on the Executive Com- | mittee and then be given control of the! speaking part of the campaign?” The candidate then went into detall| in recounting the remedies outlined by the Democratic plattorm for the regula- tion of trusts and the stamping out of private monopoly in the Untted States, Theee remedies he descrtbed as | follows: First—A law preventing the duplica- tion of directors among competing cor- porations, {Iican party determined that the peor Secon1—A Federal Icense for each tn terested corporation before it shal! be| allowed to control as much % per! cent. uf the product In whitch it deals, | jihe Moanse to prohibit the control by| such cofporation of more than 50 per cent. of the total amount of any prods | oe consimed in the United States. i ‘be law to compel @ corporation con- trolling 25 per cent. or more of its pro- duct to take out a Federal license would not, Mr, Bryan asserted, affect more than 1 per cent. of the corpora- tions engaged in interstate commerce —possibly not more than one-half of one per cent, The small corporations, he sald, would be left entirely free and unhampered, ‘The lMoense, Mr, Bryan sald, would simply keep the corporation licensed under the eye of the Federal Govern: | ment and would not prevent Its growth. It would compel reasoneble equality in the price of the product all parts of | the country, making due allowance for cost of transportation. Again Hits Taft, Concerning this restrictive provision Mr. Bryan quoted from Mr, Taft's let- ter of acceptance, in which Mr," + called ft absurd and a: w fh plank as was ever inserted in a ‘Demo- eratlc platform.” “In what respect,” asked Mr, Bryan, ‘4a our plan more Soctalistic than that which Mr. Taft Indorses—prosecution under the Gane anti-trust law? Mere- ly In the fact that ours can be en- torced. According to Mr. Taft's logic not socialistic which {a not a ryan vigorously upheld the Dem- ootatie doctrine that no corporation | by Mr. Bryan. Trusts Disturbed. | Mr. Bryan, following out his cam- palgn plan of presenting the issues in consecutive order, confined his address to the trust question, eavage falls out of Mr. Taft, but his; references to sident Roosavelt were! eouched In terms of velled admiration. | Mr, Bryan began by reading the plank! of the Republican platform which takes to the Republican party the credit for passing and enforcing the Sherman anti-| trust law. He called attention to the! fact that the anti-trust law was passed eighteen years ago, that the bulk of trust growth and overvapitalization has vocourred since that time, that few trusts have been disturbed and those thar hay been prosecuted have not had their business seriously interfered with. i President,” continued Mr. Bryan, | ‘Nias done something toward the en- | forcement ‘of the law, but not nearly enough, and the Republican leaders | Nave thwarted him at every polnt, Finally ha became so exasperated that he sent to Congress a message which | Bhocked Republican leaders by the | fietceness of its denunciation of preda- | tory interests.” Mn Bryan charged that the Repub- | Mean platform outlines no plan for th more ‘effective control of monopolies: that its trust plank {s simply a general statement that promises nothing in par- tleular, Taft's Speech Weak. ‘And," he went on, "Mr. Taft's speech | cl of acceptance is even weaker than the platform. He gives no evidence of lav- ing studied the question or of compre: | hending the iniquities of a monopoly, “He has for several years been the intimate official companion of the Pres- fdent.-but he has caught none of the fire which the President manifested in| his message of last Janucry.” Mr. Bryan then quoted Democra- tle platform in full je trust ques- | tion: and declared a plain, full} statement of a party's pos'tion, without quibbling. evasion or ambiguity, A! private monopoly, he sald, !s indefen- sible and intolerable, and no people| should endure It, | Dupont a Defendant. Tien he pald bls reepects to Gen.| Dupont, of the Dupont Powder Works, | ! |of a few corp: | dollars | Soctaliam, Mr, Bryan decl, should be allowed to control more than | 6 per cent. of the product in which It) deals, He outlined the way in which) corporations controlling a larger pert-| centage would be brought under the law) proposed by the Democratic party. Be. | fore a date to be fixed the corporation would be compelled to sell off enough per cent. of its product, Mr. Taft, in hia acceptance speech vald this plan! would extirpate and destroy business “In business,” inquired Mr.| Bryan, “no dependent upon di honesty and unfairness that wonld be ‘extirpated and dey stroyed’ If honesty were intre- duced into {tf When the lHeensed vorporation reached a point where it controlled one-half the busine: in which it wan engaged ft woul according to the Democratic plan, | have to stop expanding, Would it, textirpate destroy’ business to nm upon the greed | rations? | ‘The trouble with Mr. that he spends so ing to discover ex tion in trnat matic none left for the effective ‘remedien more time in apends yrarnings | against remedies proposed than he uttering does in polnting out the he remedied or in sugge remedies, | “He fails to distinguish between the honest business that makes a cou Prospe.ous and the brigandage p! tised by private monopolies, The peo ple have been robbed by the trusts to | the extent of hundrads of millions of | year, anf jf Mr. Taft ia not! yet conscious of what Is going on how can the country hope for rellef through his election.” Has Encouraged Soclalism. Mr. Bryan devoted the close of his speech to a charge that while the Re- publican party loses no opportunity to ounce Socialis.n it fs really the party | which has given encouragement to So-.) The fundamiental principle of fe clalism. competition is bad and that an ec nomic advance 1s to be found In mo- nopoly, This position, Mr. Bryan said, ts in- dorsed by the Republican party—with | a Alfference.

Mr. Kern charged that there is a power within the Repub: shall not rule; which power has in feated Itself whonever effort has been made to check the destructive work of unlawful combination, reduce the tariff or equalize burdens by legislation ‘The Democratic party, he sald, would draw @ sharp line between lawful business lawfully conducted and unlawful busl- ness. | ‘The Invocation was pronounced by tha Ray, Father Gavick, of St. John's Roman Catholic Church, this y, mus slo separating the reeches, Thomas R. Marshall, Democratic candidate for Governor of Indiana, followed Mr. Kern In a epecch, ——— SE PREG W A BRDU Theodore Volgar, who lives and main- tains = furnished room house at No, 431 Bast One Hundred af@ Twenty- third street, complained to Lieut, Loo- nam and the Fire Marshal that he thought a fire which occurred on the second floor of another furnished room house he owns at No. fll East One Hundred and Twenty-third street very suspicious. the house within a weck.
