' VOICE OF GREAT POWER Drenched in Hide to Paterson, Kissed by Gushing Women, He Clones Pay With Crowning Oration of Campaign. MAIM SON1 (Xjl'ARB GARDEN, X. T-. Oct. 3b At the close of a tryirw day a flay of ouMoor enraking In a drenching rain, of f nst-flyino; trips by automobile nnd special train, of receptions and formal dinner, and of three bis evening meetiCKs In different sections of the city, V. J. Kryan aMrMsed tn Madison S-juare Garden tonlsht the most notable (Catherine of his three campaigns. The :reat oval amphitheater of the Garden held an immense throng, limited only by 1t.. wt cnparlty. From plHtform to the furthermost reaches of tiie loftiest four .f the encircling eallor1s there was no vacant place. Th police early In the evening cut off all access to the build ing, with a disappointed, waiting lino biocks In length. Notable as It was in the size and en thusiasm of its great crowd, the meet In: took superior rank in the distin-KUii-hed personnel of its speakers and party leaders who sat with Mr. Bryan upon the platform and cheering his every sentiment. Fourteen Minutes' Cheering. It was 10:15 oVlwk when Mr. Bryan filially reached the Garden. His coming was heralded by eager outposts at th; Boor and the first cry of "Bryan" brought all to their feet In one rising wave of humanity. A tlae was In the liands of every pemon in the vast audi ence and the scene as tiie Presidential candidate made his way through the aisles to the stage was strikingly a rep etition of the demonstration at Denver, when Mr. Bryan was nominated. Tho waving of the flags In a rippling Bra of color, the cheering and the music lasted 14 minutes before Mr. Bryan, with up lifted hands, finally secured silence that permitted hlra to proceed. Mr. Bryan appeared tired and worn when he began to talk, but as he pro reeded the cheers of his hearers seemed to Imbue him with new strength and he Mxike with all his characteristic vigor. Ills voice, clear and resonant as a bell, tilled the big garden to its farthest cor ners. AVet In Morning. Kissed at 'oon. The candidate began his long day with a dash through mud and rain to Pater son, X. J., In an automobile. He spoke in a downpour for 3 minutes and. like the thousands In his audience, was drenched to the skin. Returning to the city, he was the guest nt a reception of the Women's Democratic Club at the Waldorf -Astoria Hotel, where two im- : pulsive women threw their arms1 about Mr. Bryan and kissed him. Next he made a flying trip through Westchester County, sepaking at Yonkers, White Plains. Port Chester. New Rochelle and M'tint Vernon. Returning to New . York. Mr. Bryan was the guest of honor at a reception and dinner at the Democratic Club. Then began his evening tour, which took him first before an outdoor gathering In Ham ilton Fish Park before a crowd that flllej Cooper t'nlon, and then the Palm Gar den at Fifty-eighth street and Third ave nue. It was from the Palm Garden that the candidate went direct to Madison (Square Garden. rnbliclty Brines Climax. In his Garden speech Mr. Bryan de-? voted a large part of his time to labor topics. The enthusiasm reached Its height when he predicted that, whether the Democratic party won or lost, its policy of publicity of contributions would becoma the law rf the land. Mr. Bryan was given another ovation when he concluded at 11:65 o'clock. He rrml spoken several times of the lateneRS of the hour, but the crowd called to him to "go on." The demonstration of ap plause and cheering seemed to Increase In spontaneity and volume as the mid right hour approached. Hours before the doors of the big audi torium swung open the crowd clamored for admittance. Inspector Cortrlght with several hundred police under his command formed a cordon around the building and only ticket-holders were permitted to pass tMs line. J. Pargent Cram, of Tammany Hall, opened the meeting with the nomination f.ir chairman of ex-Judge D. Oady Hr Tirk. who was chosen. Mr. TIerrick at tacked the policies of ITesidcnt Roosevelt, which, he said, would be perpetuated siiovld Mr. Taft he elected. "The election of Mr. Bryan." he de clared, "means a cessation of those poli cies." The mention of Mr. r.ryan's name called forth prolonged cheering and presaged the demonstration that was to come. Lesser Lights Shine. Ex-Governor Francis, who was Secre tary of the Interior In Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, referred to the fact that the Ivmocracy was united this year and said It was time there was a change in the administration of FYderal affairs. The srrivnl of Lewis Stuyresant Chan Vr. Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, provoked a great demonstra tion. He told briefly of his tours through th. state and declared that the sentiment everywhere was not only in favor of the state ticket, but for the entire Democratic tick-t from Bryan down. Governor Hoke Smith, "as a Cleve land Democrat." euloglited Mr. Kryan and said he resented the idea of any ne's atempting to compare the lie-publl-an enndidate with "that estima ble. Christian gentleman from Ne braska.' While Mr. riinith was speaking. Mr. ltryan came in. In an Instant a roar of sound from the expectant crowd drowned the Governor's voice, the peo ple leaped to their chairs and waving flags, cheered for 14 minutes without cessation. Mr. l!ryan stepped to the platform rail without introduction and waited for the demonstration to cease. When quiet was restored he began speaking. His voice was In good con dition and he was heard in all parts of the Immense hall. Experts to Be Elected. "I expect to be in Washington after March 4." he said. "I am glad." he continued. " to be encouraged by the reports that come from your city and your state." He pleaded for a Democratic Con gress to help frame the remedial legis lation wblcrh the Denver platform de manded and said that it would be possible to send to the Senate measure after measure "and with a majority of tost Americas people behind us we can demand that the Senate submit to the will of the people expressed at the polls."' Mr. Bryan once again took occasion to urge the election of Mr. Cbanler and the entire Democratic ticket. Con tinuing he said: I have watched the progress of this cam paign. I want now. as the campaign ts drawing to a close, to leave with you some thoughts I believe worthy of your consid eration fcefore you vote. I charge that the Republican leafier no longer lead the Re publican voters. I believe that our plat form better expresses the real desire of a majority of the Republicans of the United States than their desire is expressed Id the Republican platform. Honesty in Politics. He called attention to what he said was the departure of the Republican leaders from the ideas of the early Republicans and declared: The Republican party has claimed to be the party of morality. It has claimed to express the conscience of the Nation. I charge that today It misrepresents the gen eral sentiment of the country and betrays the conscience of the American people. There is a great question of conscience before the American people. It Is honesty In politics. You cannot have honest govern ment without honest principles, and the Democratic party is Inaugurating a new era tn American politics. The Investiga tions, the disclosures, tho revelations have shown what enormous campaign funds have been secretly collected and oorruptly used, and so awakened people demanded that that should stop, but the Republican Senate and House refuied to listen to the demand and a Republican National convention rejected the plank that was aimed at honesty In polltlCl. Our committee applied the doctrine of the platform to the present campaign and has done what no National committee ever did before it has taken the people Into Its confidence and laid bare the sources of Its campaign contributions. The Republican committee refused to do this. Champion of Gompers. Taking up the President's letter re garding labor, Mr. Bryan said the Presl dent criticised Mr. Gompers the other day for criticizing the courts. "I submit." he declared, "that Mr. Gompers has never criticised tiie courts more severely than President Roosevelt himself has criticized the courts." The Ieniocratic candidate charged that the President was now issuing a daily bulletin assuring the people that Mr. Taft was a friend of labor. "My friends. he said, "there is a certain mutuality about friendship; both sides have to be consulted and Mr. Roosevelt consults only one side when he discusses Mr. Taft as the friend of labor. I care not what he may say about Mr. Taft's friendship for labor. Mr. Taft's record shows that tie Is not In sympathy with those who toil tn this country. Mr. Bryan quoted Judge Taft's decision In the oase of Thomas vs. the Cincin nati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific Rail way Company, authorizing the receiver to make a cut of 10 per cent in the wages of employes and denying their right to appeal. The candidate elicited wild enthusiasm when he said that In the West Mr. Taft was running on his amendments to the Chicago platform, while in the East he was running on the official platform. Mr. Bryan closed with a bitter de nunciation of the President, for. as he said, making himself a dictator. Upon arriving at Cooper t'nlon, where he proceeded immediately upon leaving Madison Square Garden, Mr. Bryan found a large, cheering crowd, which had waited for five hours for his com ing. In his speech there he disclaimed all personal credit for the prevalence of the doctrines, which he advocated. Mr. Brvan's day's work did not end with his Cooper Union speech, for he was scheduled to speak at 3 o'clock In the morning of Tuesday to an audience of night workers in City Hall Park. TALKS TO WOMEN OF JUSTICE Bryan Sneaks on Equitable Distri bution of Profits. XEW YORK. Oct. 2S. William J. Bryan spoke in the Astor Gallery at a reception of the Woman's Democratic Club at the Waldorf-Astoria today. He spoke in a hoarse and low tone and seemed very tired. Mr. Bryan was loudly applauded. He said In part: I well appreciate the difference between now and the year when I began. When 1 came to New York. In 1S96. there was reception, but there were not vtjry many women present. This gatheilng today very gmtifying In that It shows an ever growing throng which supports and holds to those principles . which have the desire for Justice as their Inherent cause. A good many people have come to recog nise that the reforms which are advo cated by the Democratic party are the re forms for all classes of society. We are coming to recognize the claims of brother hood and. when we grow into the fuller conception, a brighter day will have dawned. There niust be sn eiultable distribution of the profits of Joint toll. Everything costs toil that the world uses. Homebody must produce with toil. Here Is a prob lem to be solved, how are we to give to each man that to which he Is entitled In ratio? It Is the plank of our platform which deals with this subject that I like to consider the party's Meal. It holds, end it holds clearly, that every citizen should draw from society his proportion ate reward for his toll. I know of noth ing that will help us better to appreciate ft than a recognition of the claims of brotherhood. Mr. Bryan did not wait for the lunch the women had supplied, but was hurried away to Westchester County In an auto mobile to speak there. He was consid erably behind his schedule. KEIIX ISES PANIC AHGIMEXI Declares F.Yery I'nlawfnl Trnst Is Supporting; Taft. INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 26,-On a special train. John W. Kern. Democratic candi date for Vice-President, spent the day campaigning, from Indianapolis to Jef fersonville. He returned to Indianapolis lato tonight and immediately went to his homo to make ready for his second day. which will be spent In the northeastern part of the state. Mr. Kern's arguments at each stop w-ere along the same lines. He argued that the Republican party Is trying to scare the voters into line by crying panic. He declared that every unlawful trust in the United States was for Taft. Speaking to a large crowd at Green wood. Ind.. Mr. Kern asserted that con ditions under a Democratic administra tion could not be worse than they were at present. He said: "If these Republicans can prevent a panic, why do they not stop the one that is now on? I saw iff New York a few days ago a solid square of men lined tip waiting for bread. There are hundreds of thousands of men out of work all over the country. They cannot tell these men that there is no panic now." John S. Parry, of San Francisco, a labor leader accompanying Mr. Kern, received word at Columbus. Ind.. that his mother was dead. Mr. Parry was stunned by the news and finally broke down completely. He was left at a hotel In Columbus. DREAM OF EMPIRE Local Servians Would Change History of Europe. SLAV KING COMING RULER MORGAN KNOCKS OUT LEE Montana lighter Attended Now by Two Physicians. PPRINOFIEU). O, Oct. 30. Jack Mor gan, of Indianapolis, knocked out "Kid" Lee. of Havre. Mont., here tonight in tiie tenth round of a scheduled 15-round battle. Both men were severely punished.

Knaba fiapoa AV Ueg B- Alien Co, Population of Austria - Hungary Mostly Slavonian and Eager for Fight Sidelights on Balkan Situation by Local Leader. "A new empire In Europe, Servla dominating. Austria and Hungary to form a separate kingdom and to be used for the buffer state that the whole Austrian Empire is now used for by Germany and Russia to ward off the attacks of a Napoleon; a new country, one of Slavonians with a Slavonian ruler, one of 36,000.000 Slavonians why not? We can do it, and now Is the time. We may change the history of Europe. Servla is the natural ruler of the Slavonians. We can make It the seat of empire if King Peter says so, and I am your man if King Petef wants to fight. Four thousand other Ser vians and Bulgarians in Oregon will go with me and other leaders to Servia. and 200.000 more In the United States will follow the banner if we start the march for home and war and liberty." B. Peklch, secretary of the committee of Servians that cabled King Peter tho offer of the field services of his coun trymen in Oregon in case of war with Austria, was emphatic In his declara tions of patriotism when he made the foregoing statement, and the glare of his eye was even more emphatic when he was questioned about the probable number of men Austria and Servia could put in the field if war should be declared. Mostly Slavs In Austria-Hungary. "Austria and Hungary." he declared, "would be alone In the war. They could put In the field Just about a couple of million men. T'.ielr total pop ulation does not amount to more than 15.000.000. How do you take sides!" "Xo side: I want you to tell the story." "All right, I'll give you the Inside of the whole matter. People don't under stand It right out here, and that Is be cause they do not read the history of Europe, and most of all the history of the Balkans, where all this trouble started. Now. everybody here Imagines that the people of the Austro-Hungarian Kmplre are Hungarians. They are not. Out of about 3S.ooo.000 population only about 15,000.000 are Germans. The re maining 23,000.000 are Slavonians. The Slavonians have kept quiet for years because their opportunity to rebel did not come. The Austrlans and the Mag yars were quarreling themselves and we thought we would let them keep at It. When trouble in the Balkans startej they settled their affairs because . the main instrument of the trouble, the Kaiser, who wanted the buffer state kept intact, told them to do so. Then Austria, probably acting under orders of the Kaiser, made up with Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria. Ferdinand is of the House of Hapsburg, but Franz Josef refused to acknowledge him as a Prince after he had. against Imperial wishes, ascended the throne. Story of Ferdinand's Accession. "Now. here is a story, known only , to students of Bulgarian and Servian history and never published to my knowledge. "In the latter '80s, or the middle '80s, Servla and Bulgaria were at war. King Milan against Prince Alexander. That war was started by Austria, which then with the aid of Germany, tried to get the provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, just as It has done now. As a result of that war Ferdinand came to the throne, against the wishes of Europe, so it was said at the time, but really with the acquiescence of all the powers except Austria and Germany, which did not want him at the head of the principality because they wanted to make it an Austrian dependency. Austria and Ger many had to fall In line and so Ferdi nand stayed on the throne. The people do not like him and they are willing to revolt against him." "How many men could you muster against Austria?" "Servia could not turn out more than a few hundred thousand. In event of war, we would expect help In the form of a revolt in the Austrian empire. There are 28,000,000 Slavon ians there and they would come to us. Croatian. Slavonian, Bohemian, Pole, all ours, all related closely to the Servians, and they will fight with us. All want to get free from Austria." Cablegram From King Peter. "What will you do with the buffer state?" "That Is changed; time changes. The Austrian empire Is not needed as the buffer state as It was when the great powers framed it up. England. France nd Russia are now our friends, and so is Itally. Turkey will have to keep out of the fight on account of the Young Turk trouble at home. Good thing for a novel or a play, eh?" 'But the powers "They need not have any part In the play. Seriously, they are with us. You'll find us together, and if It is necessary we'll go back. I'd like to fight for my country." It is not likely that Mr. Peklch will be called back for the war, for King Peter cabled his loyal subjects in Portland a sort of negative acknowl edgement of their offer to pay and to fight, as follows: 'Thanks, very much, for your feel ing for our fatherland," cabled Peter. The cable message was signed Ris- tich. Ristlch is the secretary to the king and Mr. Pekich says he is known personally to a number of Servians in Portland.
