BRYAN TALKS ON
SCARES OF TAFT
Speech to New York Demo
cratic Convention Closes
Eventful Day.
ALSO FLAYS ROOSEVELT
Triumphal Tour Through Empire
State Marked by 17 Speeches,
Calls Taft Bankrupt Politician
and Roosevelt's appointee.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. A speech
by W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate
for President, in this city tonight on
"Mr. Taft and His Scares" and two over
flow talks formed the climax of an event
ful day in the present campaign.
Arriving here shortly after 6 o'clock and
net by thousands of persons, Democracy's
leader was accorded an ovation. Along
with him from Syracuse came the new
Democratic nominee for Governor of New
York, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter. Among
those at the station here to meet him
were National Chairman Mack. William
J. Conners, chairman of the Democratic
state commfttee; Charles F. Murphy, the
Tammany chieftain, and Dante F. Coha-
lan.
The principal speech tonight was in
convention hath which was packed to the
doors, with several thousands on the out
side unable to gain admittance. Mr. Bryan
wss accorded a great demonstration.
Presiding over the convention hall as
semblage was Judge A. B. Parker, the
Presidential candidate four years ago,
who took advantage of the opportunity to
pledge his fealty to the National ticket-
As Mr. Bryan and Judge Parker stood
side by side before the great assemblage,
the cheering welled up- in a deafening
roar. Mr,. Bryan acknowledged Judge
Parker's pledge of his own support and
the support of the "united Democracy of
the Empire State" in words as gracious
as the pledge that had been extended.
Flays Roosevelt and Taft.
Mr. Bryan's journey through the Em
plre State was a triumphant one. Every
where along the lines of the West Shore
and New York Central roads Immense
crowds turned out and greeted him with
cheers, handciapping and the waving of
flags and banners. At each place a speech
wns insisted on and when he had got
through for the day he had spoken 17
limes.
He never lost an opportunity to flay
both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft. Mr.
Taft he characterized! as "President
Roosevelt's appointee," and he declared
that Mr. Roosevelt's indorsement of Mr.
Taft was "the Indorsement of the bank
rupt against whom one could not col
lect."
Utlca. the home town of Representa
tive James S. Sherman, Republican
nominee for Vice-President, vied with
the other places In the greeting of Mr.
Bryan, and he made a short speech to a
crowd at the depot.
In addition to the plaudits of the
multitudes during the day, the Demo
cratic candidate was showered with
bouquets, and several campaign contri
butions of considerable size were
handed to him.
Says Taft Makes Threats.
Reverting to hia prepared speech upon
the topic. "Mr. Taft and His Scares,"
Mr. Bryan said:
Mr. Taft contemms that his arguments are
rot convincing hen he attempts to Intro
due scares and to threaten the public with
riiater. if h la not eiocted. The threat
- is always an admission that argument and
persuasion have not been effective. Meas
ured by thi test. Mr. Taft has already aban
doned hope of convincing the public of the
righteousness of his position. Let us take up
the subjects with which he has been deal
ing. On tha labor question he declares that our
jdemand for a trial by 'Jury In case of In
direct contempt I the mom Insidious attack
on the judicial system In the history of the
oiuntry. According to Mr. Taft. it would
very much Impair the administration of Jus
tic. He seems to forget that the very re
form which we Indorse was indorsed by the
United States Senate 12 years ago. His
logic, if it were sound- In esses of indirect
contempt, would eliminate the Jury entirely.
The criminal Judge does not feel that his
dignity is avtal ed when the accused Is given
a trial by Jury: the common law Judge does
not feel that It is a reflection on him for a
party to a suit to insist upon trial by Jury;
why should It seem such an unlawful thing
for s jury trial to be enacted in a case of
Indirect contempt?
Defense of Bank Guaranty.
In discussing the guaranty of bank de
posits, he betrays the same tendency to sub
stitute gloomy forebodings fT reason and
argument. What is this difficult thing that
will devastate the country if his aspira
tions for the Presidency are thwarted? It Is
the protection of the depnsltor who to in
vited to entrust his savings to the care of
banks. There are 15.000.MM) depositors in
the United States and they are calmly as
sured that the banking system can only be
safe when the depositors are Insecure that
to secure the depositors would make banking
insecure. This logic may satisfy the big
financiers from whom he ha drawn his argu
ments, but It will not entsify the millions
whose deposits make banking profitable.
Exterminate. Not Regulate Trusts.
Tr third scare presented by Mr. Taft la
in th d:scunlon of the trust question. Ha
say that "Mr. Roosevelt would compel the
trusts to conduct their business in a lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their op
erations, th maintenance of the prosperity
of the country of which thy are an Impor
tant part : while Mr. Bryan would extirpate
and destroy the entire business in order to
stamp out the evito which they have prac
ticed. "
Tn using this emphatic language Mr. Taft
has rendered us a service, because he admits
that the Republican party does not intend
to prevent trusts. It only proposes to regulate
them and If we can judge the future by the
past, that regulation will not be effective.
Tf Mr. Roosevelt with all his strenuostty has
not succeeded In imprisoning a single trust
magnate, how much can the complacent
Mr. Taft hope to accomplish in the way of
regulation?
Revision of Tariff.
The fourth scare which Mr. Taft presents
is excited by the Democratic declarations on
the tariff questions. Speaking of our plat
form proposal to make such radical reduc
tions as may be necessary to restore the tariff
to a revenue basis, he declares in his notifica
tion speech that the introduction into power
of a party with this avowed purpose cannot
put halt the gradual recovery from our recent
financial depression and produce business dis
aster compared with which our recent panic
and depression will seem very imall Indeed.
Surely Mr. Taft cannot contemplate any
ma' trial reduction of the tariff if he really
believes that a gradual return to a revenue
basis would Involve us In any business dis
aster compared with which our recent panic
and depression will seem small Indeed.
Mr. Taft began his candidacy a year ago
as a champion of tariff reform, but each
month has witnessed a lessening of his seal
until now his temperature, measured by the
tariff reform thermometer, is close to xero.
Hts platform begins with what at first glance
might seem a pledge that something would
be done. It says: "The Republican party
declares unequivocally for a revision of the
tariff by a special session of Congress, im
mediately following the Inauguration of the
aext President." The word "reduction" does
sot appear in the platform. Tt Is "revision"
not "reduction." and Mr. Taft has already
Interpreted the word "revision" to mean the
raising of some of the schedules and the
lowering of others, but with no Indication as
to whether the average will be above or below
the praeent.
What is there In the Democratic platform
that can be construed as a threat to any legiti
mate business? - TVHl it produce a panic to
put on the free list articles that come in
competition with articles controlled by the
trusts? Democratic success will not bring
panic to sny except those who have their
hands in other people's pockets and these
ought to b frightened.
Will it disturb business to reduce materially
the tariff on the necessities of lise, especially
on those articles that are sold abroad cheaper
than at home? If we can compete in foreign
markets, do we need a high tariff to enable
us to compete in the home markets? Since
Mr. Taft has gone Into the business of pre
dicting panics if he is not elected, it Is only
fair to ask what guaranty he can give If he
Is elected. No one can doubt that he honestly
believes the country will go to ruin If he Is
defeated and that It will prosper if he is
elected, but what guaranty have we that his
opinion is well founded? .
I beg you to weigh the arguments. Be not
mislea by the direful prophecies of a candidate
who has convinced you that In some mysterious
way the country's prosperity depends upon his
election.
BRYAN" CALLS TAFT HARD NAME
Political Bankrupt and Appointee
of Roosevelt, He Says.
RAVEXNA, N. T., Sept. 16. Carrying
his campaign Into the Empire State,
William J. Bryan in several speeches to
day on the way to Rochester, explained
the difference in the performance of the
Democratic and Republican parties and
severely arraigned both Mr. Taft and
President Roosevelt. His first remarks
were made at Cornwall, where he spoke
for two minutes. At Newburgh, the
home of ex -Governor Odell, he denounced
the Republican platform and declared he
could call Mr. Taft, as a witness against
it.
To a great crowd at Kingston, the
Democratic candidate warned his hear
ers not to allow the Republican leaders
to scare them from support of the Dem
ocratlc ticket by threats of panic. He
referred to Mr. Taft as "Mr. Roosevelt's
appointee," and said, that the Presi
dent's indorsement of Mr. Tart is the
indorsement of a political bankrupt.
against whom you cannot collect, even if
you tried. -
Mr. Bryan expressed his gratification
that the East and the West were this
year united and harmoniously fighting in
defense of the Democratic platform.
'It might be possible to win a Demo
cratic victory," he declared, "by the
electoral votes cast in the South and in
the states west nf the Alleghanies, but
it will very much strengthen the hands
of the Executive, very much strengthen
our party In Congress if we can win a
victory in which the South, iast and
West can claim a share."
The .Democratic candidate declared
that there was nothing in the platform
or any Democratic policies that menaced
legitimate business, or that need make
any honest man fear.
'Our desire is." he said, to restore
permanent prosperity and universal
prosperity. If we win, it will be a vic
tory for the plain people of this country.
who are asking nothing at the hands of
the Government but justice, and who
ought to be satisfied with nothing less
than justice."

Confer With Ormsby McHarg;, Com
plete Organization and Will
Work for , More Taft
Clnbs in Oregon.
Because of the complete nervous
breakdown from which he is suffering,
W. M. Cake, chairman of the Repub
lican State Central Committee, has
transferred to the members of the
executive committee the responsibility
of conducting the Taft-Sherman cam
paign in this state. That responsi
bility has been accepted by the mem
bers of this committee, which held a
meeting yesterday and completed its
organixation.
The condition of Chairman Cake,
who .is being treated in a local sani
tarium, was reported yesterday to be
serious. Although the state chairman
has for several days been desirous of
returning to Republican headquarters
actively to assume management of the
campaign, his physician, Dr. W. T.
Williamson, yesterday announced that
the physical condition of his patient
was such that he would be prevented
from taking any part In the pending
campaign.
Take Over Cake's Work. . .
Receiving this ultimatum. Chairman
Cake reluctantly submitted and direc
ted that the details of the campaign
should be proceeded with by the mem
bers of the executive committee, which
he had named. Chairman Cake has
been under the constant care of a phy
sician since his return from the East
two weeks ago, and it has been his
sickness that has delayed the inaug
uration of an active campaign before.
With Chairman Cake prevented from
attending to his duties as official head
of the party organization, Secretaary
McArthur and the other members of
the committee were powerless to act.
They waited hoping Chairman Cake's
condition would improve so that he
could take charge of the campaign.
It was this delay which for over two
weeks embarrassed the members of
the committee who were desirous of
starting campaign work. It was the
same condition that hastened the visit
here of Ormsby McHarg, -personal rep
resentative of National Chairman
Hitchcock, who is making a tour of the
Western and Pacific Coast states in con
nection with the harmonious and aggres
sive campaign work in the interest of the
ticket in every state. '
Confer With Mr. McHarg.
It remained for Mr. McHarg, after
Investigating the situation here for a
few days, to get the party workers
together and organized thoroughly for
campaign activities. Yesterday morn
ing he held a conference with Senator
Pulton and National Committeeman
Williams and other men prominent in
the party. At this conference, Mr.
McHarg presented the situation
squarely to the Republican leaders in
this state and demanded concerted ac
tion. His appeal that local differences
be forgotten in the interest of a united
effort for Taft and Sherman was ac
quiesced in.
During the afternoon the members
of the executive committee held a
meeting at headquarters in the Cham
ber of Commerce building. The five
members of the committee were pres
ent as follows: ' Ex-State Senator C.
W. Hodson, chairman; National Com
mitteeman Ralph E. Williams, treas
urer; Major J. P. Kennedy, chairman
Multnomah County Central Committee
ex-State Senator Slg Sichel and Dr. H.
W. Coe. Clifton N. McArthur, secre
tary of the State Central Committee,
lso attended.
Aside from a few individual sub
scriptions, all the funds in the pos
session of the committee is a check
for $1000 which had been sent to
Chairman Cake by the National com
mittee and by him transferred to the
executive committee. This n.oney is to
be expended only to defray the ex
pense of making a poll of the state
and cannot be diverted for miscellane
ous campaign purposes. This money will
be made available Immediately for the
purpose for which it was appropriated.
Will Form Taft Clnbs.
Secretary McArthur was directed
by the executive committee to notify
the county chairmen to proceed with
the organization of as many Taft clubs
n their respective counties as possibly
could be formed.
Mr. Williams yesterday announced
the appointment of Dr. H. W. Coe, of
this city, as National treasurer for
Oregon. Mr. Williams had been re
quested by Chairman Hitchcock of the
National committee to designate some
prominent and suitable Republican in
this state to accept this office. He se
lected Dr. Coe, who has accepted the
appointment and will be a member of
the National organization.
The functions of Dr. Coe as National
treasurer for this state, will be to so
licit campaign funds throughout the
state. This money will not be ex
pended directly in Oregon. On the
contrary, it will be remitted to the
treasurer of the National committee at
Chicago. The funds so collected from
the different states will then be ap
portioned to the several states in pro
portion to their needs for campaign
purposes.
MOKE TAFT CLIBS PliAIfXED
State Committee Will Work Inde
pendent of League.
By the time of the Presidential elec
tion there ought to be Taft clubs enough
in this state to enable the average Re
publican to hold membership in at least
half a dozen. The Oregon State League
of Republican Clubs has established
headquarters in the Board of Trade
building and has begun the work of or
ganizing these clubs throughout the
state. Now it is proposed that the chair
men of the Republican party organiza
tions In the different counties, under the
direction of the Republican State Central
Committee, shall organize Taft clubs in
every precinct in his county where there
may be a request for such an organiza
tion. Each of these movements to form
Taft clubs will proceed independent of
the other.
When some fifty or sixty delegates met
In the Selling-Hlrsch building Tuesday
and organized the State League of Taft
Clubs the executive committee appointed
a committee with instructions to call on
the officers of the State Central Com
mittee and ask for a letter addressed to
the various county chairmen and com
mending the movement Initiated by the
league. This committee performed its er
rand yesterday, but the desired letter of
indorsement was not forthcoming. In
stead, the members of the executive com
mittee, representing the state committee,
authorized the . secretary to co-operate
with the county chairmen in the organi
zation of separate clubs to be affiliated
with the Republican State Central Com
mittee. This is possibly one spoke in the -harmony
wheel Ormsby McHarg may have
overlooked.
DEFEAT DES MOINES PLAN
(Continued from First Fage.)
Des Moines plan, and to submit both
to the people, who, he said, are the final
arbiters. Mr. Montague then made his
motion, which was later defeated.
Several favored this method of proced
ure, holding that it would obviate a mi
nority report and would be better in every
way. However, Mr. Holman clung to his
motion with vigor, and was seconded by
Senator Gearin.- The latter then spoke
at some length, saying that he believed
it a better course to adopt a detinue
scheme, and to recommend some form of
government., rather than to submit both
plans.
Senator Gearin said he thought it
would be expected of the commission
that It report to the Council only one
plan. The argument that some had ad
vanced, he said, to the effect that there
is a public clamor for a radical change,
and that the commission was suspected
of having been created merely to perpet
uate officeholders, was unworthy of con
sideration.' Logan Favors New Flan.
Mr. Logan had said that he knew
there is a strong demand among the
people for a radical change in the char
ter, and declared that, in his judgment,
the people would have a change, and
that they would prepare the way them
selves, unless the commission took the
opportunity and offered such a charter.
He also said he had heard it said that
the members of the commission were
appointed by the Mayor and ' the Coun
cil for the purpose of arranging such a
charter as would continue in office all
the city officials. He expressed the be
lief that, if the commission fails to sub
mit both forms of government, its report
will be rejected and another charter,
submitted by the initiative, will be voted
in by the people In June.
After moving that it be the sense of
the commission that the present nlan of
city government be takea as the guide for
ine new one, Mr. Holman proceeded to
laud tne virtues of the one now in ooer-
atlon. He said it is just such a charter
as Theodore Roosevelt introduced in New
xork, and which had met with great suc
cess everywhere. He said that it seems
to be the Fall style for 1908 that we must
have the Des Moines plan of city govern
ment, "and God only knows what the
Spring fashions will bring forth." Mr.
Holman favored "conservatism," and
branded as "cranks" those who were
urging radical changes. The present
charter, he said, is a good one, although
no charter Is perfect. While a member
of the commission which drafted it, he
said, "I am not like Joe Teal, and would
keep all unholy hands off it." Mr. Teal
was also a member of the former com
mission. ' Mr. Holman admitted that tha
present charter "needs a great many
changes and 'revisions."
Predicts Use of Initiative.
Dr. Chapman, replying to "Mr. Hol
man, declared that it is untrue that the
charter, which Theodore Roosevelt in
troduced into New York waa success
ful. He said that it proved decidedly
unworkable, and that another must be
substituted. Dr. Chapman ' prophesied
that the. people -will not. tolerate any
thing in the line of a charter short of
a radical departure from the present
one, and that, unless the commission
submits it, the initiative will be in
voked. The people, .he said, are in no
mood to be trifled with, and will re
gard with great suspicion anything
the commission puts out that falls
short of the principle : of the- Des
Moines plan. '
Dr. Chapman continued his re
marks by stating that the editor of the
Des Moines Daily Capital had written
him, stating that there is no one in
Des Moines opposed to the scheme of
the city government, or dissatisfied
with the results obtained under Its
operation. Also that it is no small
village, but a real city. with, a popula
tion of very close to 100,000. Dr. Chap
man also read some excerpts from a
newspaper clipping, showing the views
of President Elliot, of Harvard, who I

is regarded as a conservative man, but
"who is of the opinion of the rest of
the cranks that the Des Moines plan is
the best for city government," and
that they are strongly in favor of its
adoption in Boston.
- That the present Portland charter is a
good one, Dr. Chapman denied in the
most vigorous terms. He declared it to
be defective and "a disgrace to the city.
and said the principle upon which it is
based has led to great corruption every
where in the United State. He also de
nied that it fixes responsibility, and
pointed to several local instances to prove
the point. That government under it is
inefficient, he showed by allusion to the
cutting of the new bitulithic pavement
at Twelfth and Alder streets, lor tne pur
pose of placing a fire hydrant. He also
told of an Incident where-, the Portland
Gas Company laid its mains along an
East Side street directly following the
laying of a hard-surface pavement. He
asserted that a charter under which such
outrages could be perpetrated is not the
proper one for Portland.
Would Submit to Both Plans.
Senator Selling spoke briefly in favor
of submitting both forms of government,
as he said it is for the people to deter
mine which one they want; that it is their
right so to -decide. Mr. Kavanaugh, who
is City Attorney, favored the present plan,
"with some radical changes." Mr. New
hall said that it is the custom for Port
land people to talk against the town, but
he believed all that is needed Is revision
of the present charter.
Mr. Rynerson said he favored the
simplified form of government, but he
would prefer to have a minority re
port, rather than that the commission
should submit both charters. He said
that the public, the workfng- class in
particular, is suspicious because they
have been fooled. Mr. Wilcox said he
had no political ax to grind, and had
BEST THEATHEinr
FOR CATARRH
The entire inner portion of our bodies is covered with a soft, delicate
lining called mucous membrane ; this is kept in healthy condition by the
nourishment and vital vigor it receives from the blood. So long as the
circulation remains pure thi3 membrane will be healthy, but when the blood
becomes infected with catarrhal impurities and poisons this inner lining of
the body becomes irritated and diseased, and the unpleasant and serious
symptoms of Catarrh commence. There is a tight, stuffy feeling in the
nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deafness, difficult
breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though
such measures afford temporary relief in some instances. S. S. S. cures
Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impurities and poisons. Then as rich,
pure blood circulates through the body, the inflamed, irritated membranes
heal, the discharge ceases, headaches are relieved and every symptom disap
pears. Catarrh, being a disease in which the entire blood circulation is
affected, can only be cured by a remedy that goes to the very bottom and
removes every particle of the impurity fromrthe blood, and this is just what
S. S. S. does. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free to all who
