Mobile, Ala., Aug:. 31.—A mob esti

i Thompson, the confessed criminal,
moved upon Mobile county Jail again
Llast night. A renewal of the demon-
I stratlon of the night before when
[ Thompson escaped the vengeance of
f an angry mob, was due to the report
j that the negro had been returned to
I the Jail. A cordon of armed militia-
[ men kept the surging mass at a re
spectful distance.
Fearing bloodshed, Sheriff Powers
agreed to have a committee search the
jail, which was done. The negro was
not found and after midnight quiet
restored.

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
Arperlca, and he stood upon the plat-
fortn with bowed head.
Bore Himself Modestly.
Mr. Bryan bore himself modestly.
Hailed by Mayor Tom b. Johnson, of
Cleveland, 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 waited for the ap
plause to cease.
During his sj*eech, when Mr. Bryan
declared for government ownership of
railroads, there were loud cheers and
cries of* “Hearst, Heurst,” all over the
hall. Mr. Bryan paused and smiled in
recognition of the tribute 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 side of the gar
den. A ringing cheer followed Ihe rec
ognition, and.the next instant-the en-

ptl' n. which lasted two minutes.
Scarcely a Democrat or national per
son of proiniiwmro wa* absent from the
gathering. They hod Journeyed from
all section.* .of the country, nnd there
was a cheer for each as thoy passed
into the garden.
For Mr. Bryan, however, was re
served the best that the crowd had, nnd
besides the cheering that welcomed
him when he arose to speak, his ad
dress was liberally greeted with ap
plause and he received another demon
stration when he concluded.
The meeting ended with Mr. Bryan’s
spec* li. With the disappearance of
Mr. Bryan a rush was made for the
Hearst »box, and from n thousand
throats came demands for a speech. Mr.
Heorst smiled and shook his head.
Mfifiy of those present Insisted on shak
ing! hands. Mr. Hearst finally escaped
amid cheers, and tho big demonstration
t carle to an end.

HERE ARE CHIEF FEA 'TORES
OF MR. BRYAN’S SPEECH
The paramount Issue In the next presidential campaign will concern
trust* and their control. Democrats’ motto must be, “A private monopoly
is 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 tne trusts.
Mr. Bryan declares that the unlooked-for and unprecedented increase
In the production of gold has enabled 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. United 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 control the trunk lines «nd the various states the
local lines. Securing immediate uniformity of rates is favored as tem
porary remedy.
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.. *
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 corpow-
tlons 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. 4 would substitute a new disease for the disease
from which we suffer. Socialism must be answered with argument, not
abuse.

Sporting Editor—thinks a
lot of his paper, doesn’t he?
SHREVEPORT, LA., August 28.
Dear Mr. Seclv:
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 opinion seems to be unanimous that it’s the best
paper in the South.
Tli is opinion comes from the newspaper makers and the public, too. I was surprised to find
how well known the paper was atnpug 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. Ruine, owner
of the News-Scimitar; Mr. Soincrandyek, its general manager, and Mr. Clemmons, the manag
ing editor, and Mr. McCormick and Mr. Bell, managing editor and city editor, respectively, of
tiie Commercial Appeal, were warm in their praise. And if they did not mean what 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 nnd 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 be back some time Monday morning—and mighty glad to be there, I
can assure you. This barnstorming is just about what it is “cracked down” to be. Regards
to all at the office. Sincerely yours;
PERCY H. WHITING.
