CHEERS FOR BRYAN MANCIPLES Continued from Page One. England will be present and will get Mr. Bryan’s Ideas on the congressional and state campaign this fall. Fifteen thousand persons participat ed In the greeting to Mr. Bryan Inside Madison Square Garden last night, and ten thousand crowded the square out side, cheered and listened to speeches at an overflow meeting. Mr. Bryan was overcome when the great crowd In the auditorium cheered Itself hoarse In welcoming him back to America, and he stood upon tho plat form with bowed head. Bort Himself Modestly. Mr. Bryan bore himself modestly. Hailed by Mayor Tom I.. Johnson, of Cleyeland, as “the first citizen, If not the first official of the land,” he smiled and bowed his acknowledgments; and when later he was presented as “an other Jefferson and a Democratic Lin coln,” Mr. Bryan watted for the ap plause to cease. During his speech, when Mr. Bryan declared for government ownership of railroads, there were loud cheers and cries of “Hearst, Hearst,” all over the hall- Mr. Bryan paused and smiled In recognition of the trfbute to the New York congressman. W. R. Hearst arrived while Chair man Johnson was addressing the meet ing. He passed with Mrs. Hearst to his box on the other sl<te of the gar den. A ringing cheer followed the rec ognition, and the next Instant the en- amlleneo aeosefumt, ~ waving flags ghvc Mr. ;Heqfst it*’ hftarty ‘receptloff, which lasted two minutes. Scarcely n Democrat or national per son of prominence was absent from the 'gathering. They had Journeyed from air sections of the country, and there was a cheer for each as they passed Into the garden. For Mr. Bryan, however, was served the best that the crowd had, and besides the cheering that welcomed him when he arose to speak, his nd- . dress was liberally greeted with ap plause and he received another demon stration when he concluded. • The meeting ended with Mr. Bryan’s speech. With the disappearance of ;.”r. Brynn h rush was made for the Hearst box, and from a thousand t’»ronts came demands for a speech. Mr. If-arst smiled and shook his head. > anv of those present Insisted on shak ing hands. Mr. Hearst finally escaped nmld cheers, and. the big demonstration ijtme to an end. „ See* Newspaper Folk. In spite of his late retirement after list night’s strenuous reception and bis long speech in Madison Square Garden, Mr. Brynn arose before 7 o'clock this morning and at 8 o’clock was joined nt breakfast In his rooms by Mrs. and Miss Brynn. Before sitting down to eat Mr. Bryan said farewell to a little group of news- naner men, who called early to see him. He was still In his shirt sleeves when he came to the door of his suite, No, 128, on the second floor of the Ho tel Victoria. . f •*I can not speak of last night s oc currences," said the Nebraskan. "I was well-nigh overcome by the reception accorded m<*. The event and the scene will remain In my memory as long as l may live. Surely. I was wrong when I once referred to New York ns 'the enemy’s country.’ It Is a friendly coun- try to me now. and always shall be. Mr Bryan then excused himself to 1oln Mrs. Bryan and his daughter. The party left the Victoria a little before 0 o’clock for the Grand Central station, where they took the for New Hnven, where another welcome awaited him. A good-sized crowd was on hand to cheer the Nebraskan as he boarded the train for the college town. Delayed by Friends. Delayed by a crowd of people who wanted to shake Ids hand, Mr. Bryan did not make the 9:30 o clock train for Sew Haven today, as planned, but rot away on the Bay State express at in o’clock. Mrs. and Miss Bryan will remain In New York until his return here Mr. Bryan received In his rooms a deputation of Fast Indians, who colled* to compliment him on hist Fast Indian magazine articles. Mr Bfynn was accompanied by a big delegation of prominent Demo crats, headed by Norman E. Mack and Lewis Nixon.

YOU MAY GET PART OF IT. HERE ARE CHIEF FEATURES OF MR. BR YAN'S SPEECH The paramount Issue In the next presidential campaign will concern trusts and their control. Democrats’ motto must be, ”A private monopoly la Indefensible and intolerable.” Provisions must be made to imprison, not merely fine, law-breaking capitalists.. Protective tariff has been fruitful source of political corruption. Free trade, optional in Its details with the president, could be made the most effective weapon with which to fight the trusts. Air. Bryan declares that the unlooked-for and unprecedented increase in the production of gold has enuoled the Democratic party to present a united front on the money question. Congress should meet immediately after elections—not thirteen months later, as at present. LTnited States senators should be chosen by popular vote. The United States must sooner or later adopt Income tax. Burdens of government should be divided proportionately among the country's peo ple. Railroads should be made the property of the government. The Fed eral government should cohtrol the trunK lines and the various states the local lines. Securing Immediate* uniformity of rates is favored as tem porary remedy. r Merciless war on trusts Is recommended to the Democrats. Corrup tion In insurance companies and other corporations Is dwelt upon. The Democrats should refuse campaign contributions from corporations. The workingman's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness should be preserved. It is unjust to give employers absolute control over em ployees. Differences should be settled by' arbitration: In the Interest of humanity, the development of the home life and love of family and the progress of the human race, the eight-hour working day should be universally, adopted. j The United States, In common with all other nations, should, before declaring war, submit all International differences to Impartial arbitra tion. Government by Injunction is an attack upon the Jury system and should be opposed. The Injunction should be supplanted by arbitration. The United States experiment In colonialism has exposed to ridicule the Declaration of Independence. He urges home rule for the Filipinos. That plank In the Democratic platform of 1900 requiring corpora tions engaging In Interstate commerce to secure Federal license, should become part of nation’s laws. Socialism presents a consistent theory, but does not take human nature into account. It u'ould substitute a new* disease for the disease from w'hlch we suffer. Socialism must be answered with argument, not abuse. 3 NEW INSTRUCTORS SECURED FOR GEORGIA TECH FACULTY BR YAN MAY YET A CCEPT INVITATION FROM GEORGIA By Private leased Wire.

Now Percy works on The Georgian, you know, he is Sporting Editor—thinks a lot of his paper, doesn’t he? Dear Mr. Seelv: SIIREVEI’ORT, LA., August 28. I’m so tickled with what I hear about The Georgian on this trip that I can’t wait ’till I get back home to tell you about it. In Memphis, Little Rock and Shreveport the opiuion seems to he unanimous that it’s the best paper in the South. This opinion comes from the newspaper makers and tho public, too. I was surprised to find how well known the paper was among the people of Shreveport—a town so far away from At lanta that only a remarkable paper published there would have any chance to make a hit here. Memphis people were especially warm in their praise of The Geoorgian. Mr. Raine, owner of the News-Scimitar; Mr. Somerandvck, its general manager, and Mr. Clemmons, the manag ing editor, and Mr. McCormick and Mr. Bell, managing editor and city editor, respectively, of the Commercial Appeal, were warm in their praise. And if they did not mean wliat'they said, . appearances were deceiving. Judged by the impression that The Georgian is making in the towns I have visited, the pa per is taking the place in the Southern newspaper world which you intended, and I am sure that congratulations are due you and all of the Georgian’s staff. I really had to get away from At lanta to come to a full realization of how good a paper I am working for. With good luck I will he hack some time Monday morning—and mighty glad to lie there, I can assure you. This barnstorming is just about whfet it is “cracked down” to be. Regards to all at tile office. Sincerely yours, PERCY II. WHITING. He’s off with the Atlanta ball team—Billy Smith said they needed him. Judge A. I.. Miller, of Macon, chair- man'of Ihe state convention 1n Macon next Tuesday.

It Is generally believed, however, that Judge .Miller ha-4 agreed upon and that he will i* over the convention Tuesday. 1 He Is president of the Georgia Association, and has been one oi Smith's most nrdent advocates friends throughout the campaign. It was stated Friday at Mr. Smlih'-s. office that the list of delegates for the state convention Is not yet ready for publication.
