BRYAN SPEAKS OF HIMSELF AS CANDIDATE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY BR YAN AND HOKE SMITH MEET FOR A SHORT CHAT ‘If Election -Were Confined to Geor gia I’d Not Fear.” “Democracy’s Chances Al ways Good This Far Ahead,” Says the Nebras kan With a Smile—Talks of Cuban Situation. "The only trouble with the South is that there are too few offices for the many big men.*’ said William Jennings Urvan Frlduy morning. He won chatting with Hoke Smith, next governor of Georgia, who called on Mr. Hryan at 10 o’clock In the latter' apartments. The representatives of the. afternoon papers were received at the Marne time. "This is a bad time for you to come in, Mr. Smith," said Mr. Bryan, as he *hook hands. ’’You are In the compun> ' of n mighty dangerous man, you know, and the newspapers may get hold of It. "Oh, I guess there's no danger now," remarked Mr! Smith. "I’ve wdn my ra* e, you know'.*’ A conversation between the two big Democrats followed. Mr. Bryan, sit Urn? easily in a big looker, looked cool and comfortable in his shirt sleeves, lie wore a low turndown collar and a black string tlo und the wrinkled trousers which excited the scorn of a London tailor were still In evidence. Changes in Appearance. The Nebraskan has changed since that first great campaign. Ten years have taken much of the glossy black iair from his head and the baldness extends far back from his forehead. Tl»e thin, almost haggard face of the St. Louis convention has disappeared un«l tlie cheeks have put on flesh. But tiie mouth, that mobile, flexible mouth, * ,as not changed. When Bryan speaks ev ‘n In private conversation the lips ar ’ in connant motion and e deep J h* st notes, orotund, resonant, are »uf- ihient to reach a great audience wlth- " ,JT an effort. When he smiles it is wl, h c losed lips which spread until the '••i'll disappear in the wrinkles which arrt * part of the smile. Lnokfng straight at Bryan from a short dis tance, gives one a vivid impression of tn. Mrength of the man. Ills face is ir.ad, his brow massive—everything about the man Is big.

Treadwell, of 433 Woodward avenue, an aged man, was trampled and severely Injured. At the time of the accident Mr. Treadwell had gotten inside of the building and was endeavoring to climb over the railing Into the rink. He had succeeded In getting one leg over the railing, when the crowd surged against him and knocked him to the floor. Be fore he could be rescued he had been budly trampled. Dr. A. L. Curtis, who was nearby, made his way to the Injured man as quickly as possible and rendered tem porary aid. It Is believed Air. Tread well’s hip Is fractured. He w’as sent to his home In an ambulance, where he was given attention by Dr./W. 8. El kin. Shortly before the speaking began the surging of the crowd on the plat form caused Harvey Hill, the well- known young attorney, to be knocked unceremoniously to the rink floor, hls plight bringing the first applause of the afternoon.

At S o'clock every car to Ponce DeLeon was crowded rlth passengers and the steep stair way leading to the rink was blocked with pushing and shoving people who fought for entrance. Seats were pro vided for about *,600 persons. All of these were filled before 3:30 o’clpck. The chairs occupied only three-fourths of the auditorium, and the big space behind the chairs was rapidly fllled. Three rows of wicker rocking chairs were provided for the ladles Just In front of the stage. And these were soon hlted, tv h I1, a large percentage of the ladles was scattered through the crowd. Halowell's band played pa triotic and popular airs. The auditorium was decorated with national (lags, a number lining the stage, while two great banners were draped at the rear of the etage. Among those on the platform were Congreeeman Charles L. Bartlett, of Macon: the Justices of the state su preme court, J. W. Goldsmith, Colonel John Temple Oraves, Major E. E. Pom eroy, Judge J. T.

In the car with him were Lamar Hill and J. J. Hastings. Mi. Hryan was dressed In a sack coat of dark material. Hoke Smith and H. H. Cabantss ar rived at the same time In another au tomobile. More than a thousand people were gathered outside the enrrance to the Ponce DeLeon skating rink and these people were th« first to raise the cheers which welcomed Mr. Bryan. The ova tion which was begun when the city's guest first appeared was continued as he passed up the steps Into the hall and taken up with a will by. the six thousand people on the Inside of (tie building.

When Mr. Bryan and the party were seated President Lamar Hill toook the floor. President Hill said In Introducing Reuben R. Arnold that the Young Men’s Democratic League had for Its purpose not so much the Democratic campaign work as the duty of receiv ing and entertaining the leaders of the Democratic party. He referred to Mr. Bryan as the man who In 1908 would lead the Democratic party on to vic tory. In hls short Introductory speech Mr.* Arnold said "Right now we scent vic tory for the party In the next presi dential campaign." In the course of hls remarks he said: "The day has come when we demand sharp, clear- cut platforms and when we demand briefly In the candidate as In the plat form.” H? then spoke briefly of the Democratic platform, platforms of the post and the Issues on which the Democratic party rests today. Bryan Starts 8pssch, At 4:25 Mr. Bryan started hls speech. "I am very glad to be with you again and I appreciated the kindly words employed in presenting me to you. havft great faith In these splendid young men who have presented me at this meeting. Their prophecy Is half wit and hair environment. If that rate bill had contained a clause limiting the presidential election to Georgia I am sure I should have no doubt of my election. And I shall not wait until I hold office before advancing the In terests of my party. You have a style of oratory down South that we can not Imitate. Your warm blood Alls your speeches with flowers, while we of the North live In such cold winters that we must confine oureslves to cold facts. "I remember that Georgia nominated me In Chicago after I had requested my own state not to do so. I have vis ited Georgia among the first of states and shall visit* her at the last, for If you do not get out an injunction against me I Intend to come again and again, and I shall bring my wife with me. Republicans Art Apologizing. I am glad that I am In a harty that stands for things so fundamental that they may be Incorporated In a plat form In any state. The Democratic party Is a party of those In every sta tion who want equal rights for all and special privileges for none. It Is the hope of the poor man, for It pro tect* his rights. It is the hope of the William Jennings Bryan, Democratic choice for next president of the United States, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, ar rived In Atlanta from Augusta Thurs day morning and will be the guest of the Young Men’s Democratic League until 4 o'clock Friday morning, when he will leave ^or Birmingham over the Southern railway. Between 2,200 and 2,500 people shook hands with Mr. Bryan In the reception room of the Piedmont Hotel within a period of 35 minutes Tnursday morn ing. The original 'plan was to have Mr. Bryan, stand from 11 to noon, but at ths end of $5 minutes Burton Smith suggested that the repetition be ter minated then, *a* the Tieht vfa* intense and the line of visitors perceptibly thinning. This proposition Mr. Bryan readily agreed to, ns Ije was beginning to look n little tired, and he also realized that several hours wore nheud of him before he left Atlanta at midnight. Several times he stopepd the line In order to wipe the perspiration from hls rich man, for It will ennble him to leave hls children n legacy better than mere money. The Republicans are to day apologizing whore they ilo not fol low Democratic doctrines and rejoicing when they do follow Democratic doc trines." Mr. Brynn here rend nn extract from a speech of Secretary Shaw, delivered at Salisbury, N. C„ showlrlg where v Mr. Shaw had adopted Democratic prln clples. He zqld that In the South Shaw had used a policy that had been dis carded by the Republicans In the West. "Mr. Shaw Is the friend of stand patters,” he said. "The Democratic party Is today a united party i|id unit face and neck. A powerfully built man came for ward, and as he shook hands, snld: "Mr. Bryan, I am from Omaha, and have voted for you twice. 1 am ready to do It again, too.” "So glad to know one Omaha man who voted for me," was the pleasant rejoinder. Two handsomely gowned ladles ‘stopped long enough to say: “Hryan admirers and Westerners, too.” About 11:25 Mrs. Brynn came into the room with the ladies of the recep tion committee. She took a position beside her husband for a few minutes and shook hands with all who came forward. She looked rested from her trip. A large number of the most promi nent people In Atlanta attended the-ro- ceptlon, and there were many visitors from over the state. As Mr. Bryan retired to hls room to rest and write HONG-KONG IS SWEPT BY SECOND TYPHOON; THOUSANDS ARE DEAD Continued on Pago Three. CUBAN REBELS TAKE Brute Assaulted Mrs. Dottie Kimball at Oakland. Property Loss Is Es timated at Fully $20,000,000. ed on the side of the people. The Re publican party Is just entering the Val ley of the Shadow of Death from which Democracy has Just emerged. "We may pity It, but can not help. It must fight Its own battles. The Re publican party will have a harder time than we had. The Republican president repre sents the reform element. He Is not, to my mind, an advanced Republican, but owing to his position the mozj prominent. Secretary Shaw has been exposed to reform, but It did not take. Tht* burden of hls speech at Salisbury was on the tariff aid he admits al most every contention of our party. For years the Republicans have con tended that the foreigner and not the consumer paid the tariff. Hut Secre tary Shaw In one of hls Illustrations admits thnt the consumer pays." Mr. Bryan continued with a num ber of statistics showing the evils of high tariff. He was given the closest attention, even In those periods when he touched on dry subjects and those of little Interest to the average eltl- sen. Pressed Down By Tariff. Mr. Bryan brought out with striking Illustrations the contradictions In the argument put up by the Republicans in favor of high tariff. Mr. Bryan then declared that when he was a child hls father made him put ground "chunks" under the lever when he wished to lift a fence and that although ho was not a precocious child, he always know that the repl weight was on the "ground chunk.* He then used this Illustration to show how the consumer was being pressed down by high tariff. "I can understand,” he declared, "how a man under compulsion can stand be ing a ‘ground chunk.’ but I can not un derstand how a man after having once been used In that capacity can say, •Here I am, use me again.'" Mr. Brynn then declared that If the people wanted high tariff they should get their council to levy a tax on $100,- 000 a year and divide this among ten people with the proviso that the ten people use the money for building houses. This, he declared, would give work to the brick layers and the car penters and then the ten people owning the houses would stAte that the coun cil was the best In the country. "The people who paid for the houses could walk by Sunday afternoon and look at them.” Mr. Bryan stated that In Iowa the people refused to listen to the argu ment of Secretary Shaw, and that this was becoming more and more the case In New England among the owners of the large manufacturing interests. "Tetf years ago the Republican j>urty came into power, complete power. Dur ing that ter. years they have done any thing they wished. They have made the laws. But the good Ieord has been kind to us. When they refused to give Havana, Sept. 20.—Fifty armed men under Captain Vincente Costa and Lt. Francisco Salmon, entered the towrt of Flrmezt, 20 miles east of Snntlago de Cuba, where the .luragua Iron mines are. They presented Superintendent Whittaker a document hearing the al leged signature of General Hlerezuelo, demanding the delivery of two cases of dynamite and two blasting bntteries. The superintendent refused to deliver the goods. The Insurgents thereupon seized the explosives and the batteries, a mule and other supplies and gave re eelpts for them. Philadelphia, Sept. 20.—Rush orders ere received here today for 41,600 3- Inch shells, 600 12 1-2-pound shells and 300 "saddle hack" boxes for mules to be used In the transporting Shells for mountain guns. us more money by coining silver He opened the gold mines. We have also been blessed by good crops. But in spite of all these advantages, the Re publican party has fallen so low thnt today, according to the reports In the papers, it has hut one man who would ive a chance to get elected." "They have many men who are well known, a great many very well known In fact, too well known,” he declared. He then stated that President Roose velt’s popularity was based solely on ourage In departing from the Re publican platform and adopting the plunks from the Democratic platform. "You can hardly find any popularity in President Roosevelt which can not be traced to Democratic principles." Further speaking of President Roose velt the Commoner stated that Gover nor Black, In presenting Mr. Roose velt to the Republican convention had delivered *a eulogy of war. "The only eulogy of war I ever heard, and In fit tingly carrying this eulogy to a close he characterized President Roosevelt as a 'man of blood and Iron.' "Now this man finds hls greatest fame as a peacemaker. Aside from bringing to a close the war between two nations he also happily brought to a close a strike which was costing peo ple millions of dollars.” "I am glad he brought this strife to a close. I have commended him many times for lt. But where did he get the Inspiration? He got it from that de spised Chicago platform." Mr. Brynn then asked why did not the Republican party adopt the plank of arbitration. "We want arbitration." he declared "That differences may be settled without a strike." Mr. Hryan\plosed hls address by call ing attention to the cruelty of the trusts and their power over the Re publican party. He showed how they rifled that party and how the tariff practically put the Republicans Into i power. He spoke of the rate bill to which the Republicans pointed with pride and showed how many of its most Important features were the work Df Democrats. Mr. Bryan closed hls speech at 5:40 and was immediately surrounded by a rowd of men and women who wished to grasp his hand. Mrs. Dottle Kimball, of Oakland City, »» the victim of an attempt at crim inal assault Thursday afternoon. The negro made hls escape, although Mrs. Kimball fought him off and fired twice at him with a shot gun.
