BRYAN WITH RELENTLESS ZEAL GARRIES STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN TO VERY HEARTHSTONE OF TAFT Workingmen in Ohio Flook to Hear Democracy’s Candidate * COERCION OF EMPLOYES HIS THEME FOR Peerless Leader Declare* Vote Was Given Workingman With Which to ' Protect Hhnself— If Great Industrie Can Vota Employes in Flock*, Amer ican People Have No Redress Against Any Griavanoe, However Great MARIETTA, O., Oct. 21.—Mopstor aruwds and lusty cheering was Ohio’s greeting to "Willlam J. Bryan today. Just before the democratic candidate passed over the line Into West Vir ginia late tonight he expressed Mmself as exceedingly well pleased wlta the receptions accorded him In the native state of his republican opponent. • Inspired by toe fact that the liter ally was carrying his warfare into the camp of his political enemy, he spoke with great vigorousness. While still In bed this morning a newspaper was handed In to his stateroom and Mrs. Bryan read to him a dispatch stating that the New York Central railroad system was threatening Its employes with a reduction In wages If -he was elected, but promising an Increase in work and wages If he was defeated. Tills was his oue for the day and he pitilessly fired broadside after broad side Into the republicans for their tactics. Mskes Sixteen Speeches. Sixteen speeches were made by the candidate today. While talking to a vast throng In front of the Tod house in Youngstown, O., a big card signed by a number of the workers In tho steel plants was sent up to -him bear ing the message: “We can’t be with you today, but we will be on Novem ber 3.” Mr. Bryan afterwards learned that a number of the plants, whlcft had been working with reducod num bers, today, for the first time in some months started up with their full complement! of men. A number of the, mill workers, however, were In the great audience, Mr. Bryan’s arrival being at a ;tlme r*hen the regular shifts were being made. The route of travel today was through many recognised republican ‘strongholds, and It, was at such places that the candidate fired, his heaviest batteries. Mr. Taft got his share of criticism, particularly In the matter of campaign contributions and his attitude regarding the trusts and labor questions. As on yesterday, Mrs. Bryan, in response to the demands of tho crowds, came out on tod rear platform of the train and bowed. She shook hands with many persons and her stateroom and the parlor of tho car were banked with flower* sent to her by admiring friends. • The whole of tomorrow will be spent In West Virginia. NEWARK. O.. Oct. 21—*1 say to you that the little ward-heeler who goes around and bribes a man for five dob lars Is a moral character beside the man who attempts to use his power to threaten those who work for him and to buy them by a promise of In- cresse or threaten them by a promise of decrease.” Thoroughly aroused by what he terms a ’’new menace” through the publication today In a Columbus pa per of a dispatch stating that the offi cials of the "Big Four,” a part of the New York Central lines had summon ed BOO workmen at Bellefontaine, O., and informed them that If the demo crat* won the election there would be a ten per cent reduction In wages, but that If they lost there would be an In crease, Wm.

"I believe the editor of this paper does not deny that the president of the match trust did preside at a republican meet ing.

"It Is said In criticism that I have not read Judfo. Taft's opinion In Injunction cases. Well, my friends. I have two reasons for this, one Is that 1 am busy man and I can not read as many decisions as Judge Taft has made In In junction cases, and another Is that I do that he ] what he has said as . , ..wVe so much t L said since he became material didate. We ask for remedial legislation and Judge Taft today opposes that legis lation. We ask for the establishment of a department of labor with & cabinet officer at its head and Judge Taft is opposed to it If he is In favor of a labor man In the cabinet why has not ho said sp In all of the speeches be has made, i believe/that labor Is entitled to a labor department and I do not have to read Judge Taft’s opinions to make up my mind that there ought to be a depart secretary of labor. law should be so amended as to exclude the labor organizations. I did not have to read Mr. Taft's opinion In order to deride whether we ought to amend tho anti-trust lawn . *'I did not have to read Mr. Taft’L _ ms. on tho labor question to know that ,ou ought not to degrade a man with a heart, a brain and a a soul, by put- him under a law that Is made to ■hjT regu'.ato the products of Industry and I the products of man. We believe* there ought to be a limitation upon writ ofi Injunction, so that It will not be Issued labor dispute m rHv bn.-aimr- th*re i labor dispute. We believe that be fore an Injunction shall lie Issued In labor dispute tjiere should exist condl Hons that wouid lustlfy tho injunotlot If there were no labor disputes. I be Hove. too. that a man should bo entltlct to trial by Jury in cases of Indirect con tempt and I do not have to road Mr. Taft’s opinions to know what he thinks ..this subject, for since ho has been a candidate he has noe-only declared him self against trial by Jury In these cases of Indirect contempt but he has charged that In advocating trial by Jury wo art guilty of an Insidious attack upon tht Judicial system of the country. Now. 1 can make some charges, too. and T will make one on this subject. I charge Judge Taft with being unwilling to give up to a laboring orlm that never convicted of a crime the protection of trial by Jury 8poke at Birthplace of MeKinfsy,* NILES. O..

Bryan again discussed what he termed the effort at coercion by the New York Central officials. He trid of what he referred to as "the fear of the republican national committee of losing Ohio” and appealed to the la boring men to protect themselves an* their children by the ballot. "Laboring men.” he said, ’’the billot was given to you. not to the railroad superintendents, and It was given to you because you have a right pro tect yourselves and your children and If they can threaten you with a re- ductlon of wages. If these men at the head of great industries hold their em ployes as their body servants and their retainers and vote them In a bunch, how can the American people secure redress against any grievance, however great?” In a Manufacturing City.

It was the first time their attention had been called to the matter, and many expressed thanks to The Tele graph for the timely warning. The ques tion was asked at once, why the legisla ture did not change the law, so Instead of “majority” tho law would read “plural* Ity, and thus prevent any call of tin legislature to chooeo the .electors. And everybody Is thanking The Tele* graph for printing Judgo Thomas M.
