braskan Makes Greatest Speech
of His Caropagn at Buffalo He
Tells How He Would Accom
plish Reforms, If Elected.
BUFFALO. X. T.. Sept. M. "The Presi
dent has seen fit to give the Republican
candidate another indorsement. It seems
i that I- am Tunning against two Republt
' cans Instead of one. but our platform
Is so plain and the. purpose of our party
Is so well expressed In that platform that
1 am prepared to meet the argument of
one or both of them."
Hurling defiance at his Republican op
ponents. W. J. Bryan. Democratic can-
dldate for President, speaking here to-
night - before an Immense; audience, so
declared himself. Democracy's leader
reached this city at 7:30 o'clock tonight.
Cheering crowds at the station and along
the streets greeted him on the way to
, the hotel, where lie remained but a few
moments before he was whisked away
In an automobile to Humboldt Park,
where ho spoke to a vast throng. From
the park he went to Convention Hall,
which was packed by thousands, while
outside were quadruple the number, ne
cessitating a brief overflow talk.
Pours Forth Hot Volleys.
: . From the moment he began speaking
. In this state at Brockport early in the
; day until he had concluded his remarks
" here, the Democratic candidate took the
Nt In his teeth and assailed at every
turn President Roosevelt. Mr. Taft and
. the Republican leaders. He spoke of the
. conflict which he said existed between the
President and the Republican managers
of the campaign: replied specifically to
certain queries propounded to him in an
open letter in the Chicago Tribune; at-
tacked the President for what he said
was his failure to enforce the anti-trust
laws and from which, he said, the Presi-
' dent could not escape; denounced Sen
' ators Piatt and Depew as having be
' trayed the people: charged the Republi
cans with turning the financial system
over to Wall street, and finally poured
. a volley of denunciation into the 9tandard
( Oil Company.
Did Parker and Hill Post Him?
' Whether or not, following so closely
on the heels of his conferences yester
day with Judge Parker and ex-Senator
David B. Hill, the vigor of his speech was
due to the conclusions reached, is not
known, but it . was admitted on all sides
today and tonight that at no time during
the present campaign has Mr. Bryan been
so aggressive. He made a dozen spjeches
1 to large and enthusiastic crowds Along
i the line. Bands played, the . people
cheered, and at Tonawanda there was an
. incessant din of locomotive and factory
whistles. Speeches were made at Brock
port, Holley. Albion, Medina, Middleport.
Lockport. Niagara Falls. Sanborn, Sus
pension Bridge and several smaller places.
Mr. Bryan proceeded to his car in the
Michigan Central Station followed by the
cheering crowd, leaving at ll:a0 o'clock
for Detroit, where he will arrive at 6:10
In the morning. His visit to Michigan
provides for but two speeches, one at
Ann Arbor in the afternoon and the other
at Detroit in tha evening. .
BRYAN" ANSWERS HIS CRITICS
Declares He Could Compel' Congress
to Make Laws.
MEDINA. N. Y., Sept 21. Renewing his
campaign in New York State territory to
day, William J. Bryan denounced the rec
ord of the Republican- party, accused
President Roosevelt of purloining Demo
cratic ideas and owing his popularity to
them, and charged Mr. Taft with being
unable to' effect any reforms, and de
clared that a Democratic- victory would
do more to coerce. Republicans in Con
gress than any persuasion that Mr. Taft
could bring to bear. If a Republican -victory
was achieved on that party's record.
Having traveled all night from Albany,
a short stop was made in Rochester be
tween trains. Proceeding on to Buffalo,
addresses were made at Brockport, Hol
ley, Albion and at this place, where Mr.
Bryan spoke from a platform in the
school campus. It became evident from'
the outset that President Roosevelt and
Mr. Taft were to be made the objects of
Mr. Bryan's attack.
At Holley, the President was criticised
for not enforcing the anti-trust law
against many of the trusts.
"This is their record, and they cannot
escape from It," Mr. Bryan said.
Responsible for Panic.
At "Albion, the Democratic candidate
made reference to Mr. Taft's lengthy ab
sence from Washington while he was a
member of the Roosevelt Cabinet and In
that connection he spoke of the panic of
last Fall. According to their own theory,
he maintained the Republicans could not
escape rhe responsibility for the panic,
because it must be charged to the Presi
dent in power. - '
"Not only did that panic come under
the Republican President, who picked out
the Republican candidate now running,
but that Republican candidate was in his
Cabinet at the time and was associated
with the President all the time when he
was away from Washington."
Amid laughter. Mr. Bryan said that the
only way the Republicans would be able
to get that panic off Mr. Taft's shoulders
would be to argue "that the President al
lowed It to come when Mr. Taft was not
there: that if Mr. Taft had been there h
could have prevented it."
Mr. Bryan also spoke of the "old Re
publican campaign slogan of the full
dinner pall." but said that was no longer
: their slogan or emblem. "Their new slo
gan Is." he said, "It might have been
worae."-
Says Senate Will Yield.
Tie speech here was along similar lines,
with some additional remarks in which
he answered several questions put to hlra
by the Chicago Tribune. The irst ques
tion asked by tha Tribune was:
If . a. Roubl!cn Snate would not sub
mit to Mr. Taft's kindly sugrrstlons con
cerning labor legislation, how can you prom
ise, or vn Intimate, that your election
Mult in tirocurlna the mama Senate
to do whatever you say they would not do
for Mr. Taft?
Mr. Bryan replied:
If I am elected. It ! probable the House
of Reorwentatlves will bs Democratic. I
csn recommend legislation in accordance
with my platform, and the Democrats of
he House, being pledged to the same plat
form, will spprors of the measures. It will
then be up to tbe Senate and I will not
uwa) that all of the Republican Sen
ators will b willing to disregard a de
libarata expression of opinion upQA the
part of ths American people.
"Shall the psopls rule?" la declared by
our platform to be the overshadowing Issue
in this campaign. Is the Tribune prepared
to say that a Republican Senate will, as
a matter of course, disregard the decision
of the voters as expressed In the election
of a President and House of Representa
tives? If Mr. Taft is elected, a Republican
House will probably be elected also. This
would mean a rejection of the labor planks,
and Mr. Taft. even If he were better dis
posed toward labor legislation than he is.
could hardly expect either the House or the
Senate to Indorse measures rejected at the
polla
Kxoeots to Gala Us Senate.
Question 2. How do you expect to se
cure any of the legislation you are prom
ising the people unless you have the hearty
support of a Republican senate and a Re
publican Congress and at the same time
base your claim to the votes of the people
upon the assumption that the .Republican
party Is against your every polity?
Answer As I said before, if I am elected,
the House will probably be Democratic and
we will have only a Republican Senate to
deal with and. In case our victory is a de
cided one. we will make gains in the Sen
ate. These gains will not only add to the
Democratic majority, but they will strength
en the Democrats In the Senate and" weaken
Republican opposition in the Senate. The
Tribune falls to distinguish between the
Republican leaders and tbe Republican
volet. When we say that the Republican,
leaders are against the policies for which
we stand, we do not admit- that the Re
publican voters are against those policies.
In fact, we assert the contrary, that by
voting with the Democrats they can rebuke
the Republican leaders and compel those
leaders to yield to public demands.
Question 8- We respectfully ask what
legislation, what remedies, what tariff re
forms, what. If any. legislation during the
next four years, could you as a Democratlo
President give .to the people- without the
co-operation of a Republican Senate?
Answer It Is probable we shall have a
Republican Senate for the next two years,
since it would be well nigh Impossible to
make enough changes in the personnel of
the Senate this year to give the Demo
crats a majority, but we can make a be
ginning this year and then by presenting
tariff reform measures, measures against
trusts, measures for more effective legisla
tion, measures for the Insuring of the bank
deposits, measures carrying out the labor
reforms, measures declaring for ultimate
Independence of the Filipinos and other
measures outlined In our platform, measures
recommended by a Democratic President
and indorsed by a Democratic House, we
can compel a Republican Senate either to
accept the reforms or present a definite
Issue upon them two years hence. It Is
reasonable to assume that the Republicans
In the Senate will recognise the force of
public opinion and see the folly of putting
themselves on record in opposition to the
deliberate Judgment of the voters.
Vote for Platform i'ou Indorse.
But let us consider for a moment the
real proposition represented by the Trib
une. It is this: If you have a Repub
lican Senate, you must elect a Republican
President and a Republican House to. act
with the Senate. Ir that Is true this year,
will It not be true four years from now and
eight years from now and 12 years from
now, and forever afterwards? If we elect
a Republican President and a Republican
House, the natural effect of such an elec
tion will be to keep the Senate Republican
for at least two years and tbeti with a
Republican President and a Republican
Senate, the Tribune will argue that we must
have a Republican- House, and the election
of a Republican House would help to keep
the Senate Republican for two years longer,
for the Legislatures which will elect Sena
atora two years hence will be elected at
the same time that the Congressmen are
elected. In 1812. therefore, the Tribune
could propound the same questions to the
Democratic candidate that It now pro
pounds and. If it could persuade the people
to adopt this theory. It could keep the Re
publican party In power perpetually by
using the Republican Senate as a club.
If the' pecrple want to indorse the Repub
lican platform, they ought to vote the Re
publican ticket: If they want to Indorse the
Democratic platform, they ought to vote
the Democratic ticket. It Is not only Illogi
cal, but It Is absurd, to say that they must
vote for a Republican Congressman and a
Republican President merely because trie
Senate Is so constituted that It Is impossible
to make a complete change in its person
nel at this election.
OLIVER HELD GUILTY OF AP
PROACHIXG KIEF JURORS.
Admits Facts, but Pleads Ignorance
They Had Been Passed Into
Jury-Boz.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 11. Charles
Oliver, Jr., a special agent in the em
ploy of the prosecution In the bribery
graft cases, was today adjudged guilty
of contempt by Superior Judge Wil
liam P. Lawlor for approaching- and
interviewing W. Gerran and W. S.
Harrison, two men who had been tem
porarily passed into the Jury box after
they had been tentatively accepted as
Jurors- in the trial of Abraham Ruef.
Judgment will be passed by the court
tomorrow.
young Oliver Is the son of Charles
Oliver, one of the principal agents In
the employ of William J. Burns, head
of the corps of special agents em
ployed by the District Attorney's of
fice in the bribery graft cases. Gerran
and Harrison complained to the court
that a young; man representing himself
as a newspaper reporter bad called
upon them Saturday night. Both de
clared that they had refused to discuss
tho Ruef case with him.
The information that It was young;
Oliver came from R- C. Schindler, a
Burns agent, who admitted detailing
Oliver. When the latter waa placed
upon the - stand he frankly admitted
trying to Interview the prospective
Jurors, but declared that as soon as he
learned that they had already been
examined and temporarily passed, he
made no further attempt to talk to
them. - ,
Schindler, when sharply interrogated
by Henry Ach, cousel for Ruef, vehe
mently denied that in detailing young
Oliver he had acted upon instructions
from Mr.. Burns, but declared .most
positively that he had done so entirely
upon his own responsibility and with
out the knowledge of either Burns or
Assistant District Attorney H'eney.
ELIOT ATTACKS TARIFF
Jfot Necessary to Maintain Wages.
Obstructs Foreign Trade. ,
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 11. In a pa
per addressed to the Reform League of
America, President Charles W. Sllot of
Harvard College, today made an attack
on the existing high tariff system. Dr.
Elliot said in part:
"The high tariff which has prevailed in
the United Statea since the Civil War has
done little good in the way of building up
new Industries, but it has done immeas
urable harm and Is Jikely to do more and
more harm.
!'As a country which produces in nor
mal years much more grain, meat and
cotton and many more manufactured
goods than it can consume, it la to the
Interest of the United Statea to develop
for itself world markets under the most
favorable conditions possible. The tariff
prevents or obstructs the attainment of
those favorable conditions.
"That the tariff is not necessary to trie
maintenance of the American wages or
American standards of living appears
clearlv from the common practice of sell
ing American goods In foreign countries
at much lower prices than they are sold
In the United States and yet at a profit
"If tho American people mean to main
tain their Individual liberty In Industries,
trades, commerce and politics, they must
steadily defend themselves against mono
polies." . " -

STANDARD ON DEFENSIVE
Pioneer Oil Company Was Forced
to Cut Prices.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. Testimony in
Justification of the business methods of
the Standard Oil Company was given to
day by Vice-President Squlers, of the
Standard Oil Company of Ohio, in the
hearing of the Government's suit charg
ing violation of the anti-trust law. Ac
cording to the testimony of Mr. Squiers,
the Standard Oil Company of Ohio was
the pioneer oil distributing company in
Ohio, and not until rival companies In
vaded the field and attempted to undersell
the Standard did the Standard retaliate
y making the cuts In prices.
As for the operating of the Cleveland
Oil Distributing Company by the Standard
Oil Company, there has never been any
attempt on the part of the Standard to
deny ownership of the Cleveland com
pany, he said. The charge that this sub
sidiary of the Standard had driven out of
business by unfair means some 200 inde
pendent peddlers was, he declared, en
tirely unfounded. The advent of natural
gas at 30 cents a thousand feet had been
the instrument at work, not the Standard.
Questioned as to the alleged secret, own
ership and operation of the Toledo oil
works and the New American Company,
Mr. Squiers explained that the reason the
Standard had not admitted ownership of
the companies mentioned at once waa that
It wished gradually to convert the cus
tomers of the absorbed companies from
the practice of purchasing oil In barrels
to that of buying it from the tank wag
ons. As soon as this had been accom
plished, he said, the Standard had as
sumed official as well as actual owner
ship. .

retary Metcalf to make an inquiry regard

CHANG ASKS TiME
Corean Murderer Not Ready
for Jmmediate Trial.
MAIN WITNESS IS ABSENT
Self-Styled Patriot's Countrymen
Come to His Assistance Employ
Three of Best Lawyers In
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21. That the
trial of In Whan Chang, the Corean
charged with the assassination of Dur
ham White Stevens, the American adviser
to the Japanese-Corean Cabinet in Seoul,
will be long drawn out and Wtterly
fought, waa Indicated, today, when coun
sel for Chang in objecting before Superior
Judge Carroll Cook to the case going to
trial at this time, declared that at least
three weeks and In all probability four,
will be consumed In trying the Corean.
Stevens was shot by the Corean on the
morning of March 23 as he was entering
the Ferry station here on his way to
Washington. He died three days later.
The trial of Chang, who is no taller than
a 12-year-old boy and who declared that
he acted out of patriotic motives, has
been postponed from time to time.
Today Samuel Knight, who has been

retained, it is said, by the Japanese Con
sulate, to assist Assistant District Attor
ney James Hariley in the prosecution of
Chang, moved that "the Corean be placed
on trial at once.
Counsel for Chang was strongly opposed
to going to trial at this time and asked
for another continuance until sometime in
November, declaring that one of the most
important witnesses for the defense was
not here and would have to be brought
from a long distance. All efforts of the
prosecution to ascertain who this witness
was proved unavailing.
Judge Cook finally continued the mat
ter until tomorrow when the trial of the
case will be peremptorily set.
That the Core an 's compatrio.ts have
come to Chang's assistance Is evident
from the fact that a formidable array of
legal talent composed of John J. Barrett,
Assemblyman Nathan M. Coghlan and
ex -Judge Ferret! has been retained to de
fend Chang.
Counsel for the Korean today declined
to state what the line of defense will bai
but it is intimated that advantage will b(
taken of the opportunity to Inject intl
the case something about the condition!
in Corea under the Japanese protectorate
which led Chang to fire the shot whicK
killed Stevens, as he believed, for thi
freedom of his country.
