THE ST. LOUIS RECEPTION The Associated Press report de scribes the St Louis reception in this way: A tremendous ovation was tendered William J. Bryan by the 12,000 people gathered when he stepped upon the platform and took his seat. With one accord the audience arose, waved flags and shouted until the strains of "America" by the band were drowned out. The ovation continued for four minutes and was finally silenced by National Committeeman William A. Rothwell, who started to make a speech of introduction. He had scarce ly began before a clamor arose for Bryan. Chairman Rothwell thereupon cut short his speech and presented Mr. Bryan with a wave of his hand. Motioning for silence with a palm leaf fan, Mr. Bryan said in part: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle ,men: It's warm enough when you keep still. I don't want you to in crease the misery by exertion. You have cheered enough to cheer my heart and I am glad to be here. I have been trying to find home for more than a week and I have found it so homelike everywhere that I can hardly tell" where I live. I have always " suspected that Missouri felt friendly. Grandfather's Cure for Constipation REAT medlctne,--the Sawbuck. Two hours a day sawing wood will keep anyone's Bowels regular. - -WunivjcLnf.niU'' Cathartics, Castor Oil, nor "Physic," if you'll only work the Saw buck regularly. Exercise is Nature's Cure for Constipa tion and, a Ten-Mile walk will do, If you haven't got a wood-pile. But, If you will take your Exercise in an Easy Chair, there's only one way to do that, because.there's only one kind of Artificial Exercise for the Bowels and its name is "CASCARETS." Cascarets are the only means to exercise the Bowel Muscles without work. She has shown it on many occasions, but never more so than tonight. "Now I want to show it is better to trust the democratic principles to the democratic party than trust them to the one man whose party denounces him for following them. I want to remind you that the most popular act of Mr. Roosevelt's administration was his "bringing of peace between two na tions. He settled the coal strike after a loss of $99,000,000 to employers, em ployes and the public. It was a grand act. I applauded him for it. But where did he get the doctrine? in the republican platform? No, he got it from the democratic platform, and I wrote the plank myself. If he could gain popularity by settling one strike, that cost $99,000,000, why ought not our party have some credit for pro posing a plan which, if put into law, would make the strike unnecessary? Why has not the republican party fol lowed it up by making a national law that will make it unnecessary for a man to starve his wife and family in order to get justice. "If the president can become the only popular man in the republican party because he does something spas modically along democratic lines what would be the popularity of the man who does something and has always been a democrat? Where did Mr. Roosevelt find his mandate for his action regarding the rate bill. He had to go to the democratic platform. The most apt part of the Elkins bill is the penitentiary sentence for its Violation. "The railroads have been the most corrupting influence in politics in the past twenty years. By the use of passes the railroads have packed., cop ventions. This lawscaaaggissted Dy the derngpjiaVty. I shall soon knv&ocG&sioh to talk on railroads again, but I want tonight to impress upon you that the railroad question solution was the product of the dem ocratic party. "The president has now been in of fip? almost five years. How many trust magnates are in the peniten tiary. We have a great many trusts in this country violating the law. My friends, Isk you to figure out on the basis of the number of trust mag nates imprisoned during the past five years how many generations will it take to solve the trust question?

' "If there is any -sentiment in the country today favoring government ownership of railroads it is because the railroads have created the notion that they own the government," ho said. "Just in proportion as .the rail roads regard the rights of the people, just in that proportion will we get along well together. The railroad Is the servant of the people. When it seeks to become the master of the people it usurps a place not rightfully belonging to it" Intestines with a costly waste of Digestive Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel, Jalap, or Aperient Waters always do.

' "' ' - m THE LOUISVILLE RECEPTION The Associated Press dispatch re ferring to the Louisville reception, says: , On the occasion of his entry into the south, where his recent declaration as- to government ownership of raili roads has aroused the most opposition, William J. Bryan tonight made a more explicit statement as to1 his position in the matter. In dead silence he made a lengthy statement elaborat ing his position, but declared that "the making of platforms rests with the voterSvOf the whole party, and I never have, and never will attempt to force my opinions or those of any few men on the people." While thus indicat ing that tho doctrine of government ownership is in the hands of the vot er, Mr. Bryan's speech indicated plainly that nothing has as yet oc curred to shake his belief in the ulti mate efficacy Und necessity of it. He declared that he would gladly make any sacrifice in exchange for the as surance that regulation instead of gov ernment ownership would answer the needs of the people, but he expressed grave doubts as to whether regula tion would ever suffice. He also took pains to present arguments to convince his hearers that government owner ship of trunk lines and state owner ship of state lines will not only pre serve the rights of the states, but will permit the people of each to adopt government ownership when they are ready for it. A tremendous yell arose when at the finish of the statement Mr. Bryan, with all the emphasis he could mus ter, recalled to his hearers that: "Whenever I saw a danger threaten ing the -people I have spoken out without asking anybody's permission or querying what the effect might be on me." Entering the southland for the first time in two years, Mr. Bryan today received a welcome that in warmth and spontaneity has not been sur passed by any greetings given him since his return from hid tour of the world. His arrival in the city pro voked a great outburst of acclama; tlons from thousands of marchers, and vof .-if ..'.7 ...:a I. n ....,. His reception at-the armory tonight, where he addressed .a crowd of 15,000 people, was nothing less than a vol canic eruption of enthusiasm. Al though the attendance of southern no tables was smaller than at first ex pected, on account of Mr. Bryan's re cent acceptances of numerous invita tions from other cities, still the mass meeting at the armory was a repre sentative southern gathering, graced by the Kentucky leaders of democ racy, a number of prominent demo crats from other southern states; and a great mass of citizens from Ken tucky and Indiana. Mr. Bryan was welcomed to Ken tucky by his whilom opponent, Mr. Henry Watterson, who presided over the meeting. The other speakers pre ceding Mr. Bryan were Senator Car mack of Tennessee, representing the south, and Senator W. J. Stone of Missouri, who introduced the guest of honor. When Mr. Bryan entered the hall leaning on the arm of Mr. Watterson, there was a demonstration that lasted ten minutes, thousands of flags being waved In unison with the surges of cheers that swept over the throng. As soon aB the noise had subsided Mr. Watterson began his address of welcome. Mr. Watterson spoke in part, as follows: "There is but one paramount issue for the next presidential battle and that is the rescue of the government from hands that have misused and de bauched it, and its restoration to the custody of the plain, but sovereign people. The parties to it are, upon the one hand, a standing army of trained politicians, held together not alone by the cohesive' power of the public patronage, but by a -.community of interests as' unyielding as it fs un thinking, richly 'caparisoned in all the panoply of 'successful war., -and, pn the other hand, the' mass and body of those who hew. the .wood' apd draw the water and pay the taxes, jmdrilled, unskilled and widely separated, often groping in the dark, sometimes mis directed by divided counsels, always lacking the resources by which re sults are reached and dangers turned, MEN WANTED Liberal wagos paid monthly to ono good man tJKroEro,f,orrod) a ?ch toe" who wlll? tributo our big now Fall Mall Order Catalog and rtSiJf ?f.
