TRENTON. N. J.. Sort. 15. Pouring hot shots Into W. H. Taft and the Re publican party at every point where he stopped. W. J. Bryan tonight in this c'.ty concluded a strenuous day of campaign ing In New Jerpey, after a few hours In Philadelphia, where, in front of a news paper ofnee and before an enthusiastic throng, he arraigned the Republican or ganization of that city and expressed his sorrow for people who. he said, were compelled! to live under Its rule. Switch ing Into National politics, he asserted that the Republican standard-bearer promised that there would be no panic and that Mr. Roosevelt, as Mr. Taft's godfather, promised the same thing. He wanted to know how Mr. Taft could prevent panics, when Mr. Roosevelt al ready had one on his hands. Only an hour before his arrival In that stronghold of Republicanism Mr. Bryan fired a broadside at Mr. Taft In a state ment in which he cited his record In several matters on which Mr. Taft had challenged him to declare himself. Wild Reception In Jersey. Mr. Bryan's reception In New Jersey was a demonstrative one. At Washing ton Park, on the New Jersey side of the Delaware Rlverf below Philadelphia, he addressed more than 20.000 persons, his audience according him a great ova tion. His speech of over an hour was continually interrupted by cheers and handclapping. A statement by him that his nomination for a third time, after two defeats, with no President to help him with hi? patronage, was due to the growth of the ideas for which he stood, provoked the wildest enthusiasm.' His every utterance almost was directed at Mr. Taft. whom he charged with running on the record of President Roosevelt. On the way here Mr. Bryan spoke at Camden and Burlington to great crowds and shook hands with many hundreds of persons. Direct Attack on Dupont. Incidentally he again attacked T. Cole man Dupont. of the Republican execu tive committee, reiterating hi? former charge that Mr. Dupont, as a trust mag- nate. was unfit to occupy the position of attempting to institute reforms. Along the line of travel from Camden here, stops were made at a dozen places, and large crowds gave him an enthusiastic welcome. Mr. Bryan's speech in this city, tonight covered much of the 'same ground gone over during: the- day. Taylor Opera House. here he spoke here, was crowd ed from pit to dome. Seated on the stage were a number of the members of the state Democratic committee, includ ing Chairman James R. Nugent. The meeting was intensely enthusiastic and contained ninny Democrats who had been opposed to Mr. Bryan In his former cam paigns. Mr. Bryan left on a late train for Rochester, traveling via Jersey City, where he will make a brief stop in the morning. Y COXTII.VSTS TWO CAMPAIGNS Bryan Describes Change in Eastern Opinion SJnce 1896. WASHINGTON PARK. N. J.. Sept. 15. "My nomination for a third time after two defeat and with no President to help me with his patronage, has been due to one thing alone, and that Is the growth of the ideas for which I eland and the conviction among the people that I am on their side." fc In these words W. J. Bryan today addressing a multitude of people at this place, who cheered him loudly and long, sounded the keynote of his first speech to the voters of New Jersey In the present campaign. The Democratic candidate never showed In better form. From the opening to the close of his remarks, the great throng gave demon strations of approval of his utterances. Coming directly to the Issues of the campaign. Mr. Bryan declared that the period had been reached in the history of the Democratic party "when the Kast and the West, the North and the South, can unite upon a platform." Mr. Bryan then compared the difference be tween the conditions In 1S96 and the present time. "When I spoke In the Kast In 1S96." he said, "I recognized that there was an intense opposition. I recognized that there were people who feared that my election would be injurious to the country, and they com municated that fear to those who worked for them." He declared that no such feeling could be found today. "There are," he said, "no people who I are fearful of danger In case of my f election." Continuing, he said: C'ontrants 1896 With 1U08. In I8SMI the clerks In the stores were In many, if not most, cases given to under stand that. If 1 won, there might b no business doing In the country for four years. Today the clerks in the stores are not being advised by their employers as they were twelve years ago. The clerks in the stores .are learning that under Republican rule their living expenses have increased more rapidly than their salaries. There were, business men who in lSOtl thought their business was Jeopardized or would be by a Democratic victory, but these business men in the last 12 years have learned enough about the trusts to know that their business has been Jeopardized under Republican rule and that nothing but a Democratic victory can save their busi ness. There were many small manufac turers who viened with alarm Democratic victory In lsittt, but the smaller manufac turer knows today that his business is in secure as long as great trusts are permitted to stalk abroad and drive Into bankruptcy men who refuse to sell out to them. In 1S!m; laboring men were threatened with a panic In rase of my election and they have learned that the Democratic party has no monopoly on panics. They have learned that the Republican party can bring on a panic as well as the Democratic party. Democrats, but Don't Know It. My friends, when I am talking out West. I tell the Republicans that, If 1 could bring them up one at a time and put them on the platform and question them. I could prove by their own testimony that nine-tenths of them are Democrats and don't know It. Now I don't know whether the proportion is as large down here or not, but 1 can prove to you that many, very many, who call themselves Republicans are nearer to . us In their ideas than they are to the Re T publican leaders. Mr. Bryan accidentally knocked over a f glass of water and several men below were sprinkled. The crowd laughed and Mr. Bryan was quick to remark that SAYS TAFT DODGES ISSUES Bryan Returns to Attack on Arrival at Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15. "Mr. Taft is dodging. He cannot escape from the issues. He will not be permitted to run away from them. He has accepted the nomination of his party. Now, let him take the people into his confidence and Interpret hie platform so that the public will know where he stands and what he intends to do." In these words, William J. Bryan, In an interview today, on the way from Bal timore to this city. Issues another chal lenge to Mr. Taft. his Republican oppo nent. He read Mr. Taft's utterances, printed this morning, and dictated a re tort, which Ib In part as follows: "Mr. Taft Is dodging. Instead of de fining his position on public questions, he is inquiring about my record, and in his inquiry he shows that he knows as little about my record as he does about the public questions which he has attempted to discuss. He accuses me of being changeable and of abandoning issues." Defends Ills Own Record. Mr. Bryan said he had been a tariff re former for 2S years; had advocated the election of Vnlted States Senators by the people for 12 years, and had been favor lng an income tax for 14 years, and Mr. Taft is only now coming around to his position on these questions. Continuing, Mr. Bryan said: "I said In 1S96 that the Filipinos ought to have their independence. Mr. Taft has this year admitted that the people must ultimately have Independence. I have maintained my position. I have also dis cussed the Philippine question in this campaign and called attention to the fact that Mr. Taft made a mistake of J114.000, 000 in ills estimate of the cost of im perialism. "On the railroad question he has ex pressed himself as strongly as I have. He has said and the President has also said that Government ownership will fol low If the railroads prevent regulation. I have said the same thing. I do not de sire Government ownership. I hope that the railroads will permit regulation. Our position only differs In that he has more faith' than I have In the willingness of the railroads to be reguleted. "He spends some time on the money question. The money question has been taken out of politics because the unex pected discovery of gold has given the Increase which was demanded by 4the Re publican party as well as by the Demo cratic party. "Mr. Taft cannot escape from the is sues. Will he define his position on the tariff question? On the labor question? On the. railroad question? And on the questions that are presented in this cam paign? He will not be permitted to run away from them. "If he prefers to delve into the past rather than meet the issues of the pres ent, he will explain the Benguet Railroad, In the Philippines, and the perpetual fran chise that he wanted to fasten upon the Filipinos, with a perpetual guarantee of income to the corporations securing the franchises? Will he explain his record on the labor question, and his silence on the tariff question and the trust question during his official service In Washington?" Mr. Bryan arrived here at 10:20 o'clock and rode In an automobile to Dqoner's Hotel, the headquarters of the Bryan League of Pennsylvania. Mr. Bryan was warmly welcomed by a great- crowd at Dooners, and held a brief reception. After his reception at Dooner s, Mr. Bryan was escorted to the office of the Philadelphia Record, where he spoke to a larire crowd while standing on a small platform In front of a baseball scoreboard He referred to his invasion of the East and to the fact that the Democrats in this section were not so well equipped as they ought to be to present their cause. Xo Apology for Stumping. "Where we cannot reach voters through printed pages," he said, "it Is more neces sary to meet the voter face to face. I of fer no apology for coming, although I am a cadnidate for the highest office in the world." Referring to "Shall the People Ruler' he arraigned the election methods Of Phila delphia, Mr. Bryan said that the Democratic platform was offensive to bosses and very offensive to the bosses of Philadelphia. Some one In the crowd asked: "How about Maine?" and Mr. Bryan replied: "Maine has returned the lowest Re publican, majority in 27 years, and to be conservative 1 have to concede on this showing a few states to the Re publicans." He said that Mr. Taft promised pros perity, and President Roosevelt in dorsed the idea, but he asked how is Mr. Taft going to give prosperity when his godfather, Mr. Roosevelt, already has a panic on his hands. The bitterness engendered In Penn sylvania la3t April over the election of Bryan delegates, which led to a con test at the state convention, and which was carried to Denver, where James Kerr defeated Colonel James Guffey, has not yet disappeared, and there were many diplomatic moves to settle the question as to who should have the honor of entertaining Mr. Bryan in this city. The Bryan League wanted the honor and the Democratic state organization was opposed to it. The organization was backed by the New Jersey commit tee. A compromise was finally ar ranged by which the Bryan League gave him the reception at Dooner's, after which he was taken in hand by the New Jersey committee, which ten dered him a luncheon at the Belle-vue-Stratford. To this luncheon repre sentatives of the Democratic state and city organizations were invited.

OGDES, Utah. Sept. 13. The Utah Federation of Labor, in session here, through a special committee today failed to Indorse the general circular from the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor, urging the support of Bryan, and advised that the local unions be allowed to act with out instructions from the state organi zation. The report of the committee was unanimously adopted. Much oppo sition to committing the unions to an espousal of the cause of any one party was manifested among the delegates in attendance, and the action taken is looked upon as a compromise with the element opposed to mixing politics and unionism. The resolutions submitted, however. eulogize Samuel Gompers and "de nounce as unwarranted and unjust the efforts being made to discredit the matchless leader, who has devoted his best endeavors In behalf of all who toll, regardless of class or creed."
