SEPTEMBER, 27, 1912
LaFollotto If & thousand times bettor reformer
than Roosevelt ever "was."
Salt Lako City, Utah, Sept. 18. William J.
Bryan arrived here tonight after a day spent
In speochmaking in the Utah and Salt Lake
valleys. Large crowds greeted him at every
stop. In his .speech here tonight Mr. Bryan
briefly outlined tho democratic platform and
compared it with tho republican platform. He
also compared it with the progressive platform
and charged the third party man with stealing
a numbor of democratic planks. He said the
platform contained all tho reforms that the
people of the country wore ready for today.
His speech was largely an attack on Colonel
Roosevelt. He assailed Roosevelt's plan for the
regulation of trusts.
"Mr. Roosevelt's plan," said Mr. Bryan, "to
control the trusts through the establishment of
a bureau of five men to bo appointed by the
president Is merely an invitation to the trusts
and to the leaders in Wall street to enter poli
tics and control presidential elections."
In closing Mr. Bryan charged Colonel Roose
velt was not for the people, but was aligned
with the trusts and with tho men of Wall streot.
Helena, Mont., Sept. 19 Upon the same plat
form from which Theodore Roosevelt spoke
two weeks ago to the first Montana progressive
state convention, William J. Bryan tonight chal
lenged the progressiveness of Colonel Roose
velt and declared at best Mr. Roosevelt was but
an eleventh hour convert to tho cause of pro
gress, joining only when it was apparent that
the progressive cause was sweeping the country.
Colonel Bryan was greeted by a large
audience and was vigorous in his attacks upon
Mr. Roosevelt. He called tho" roll of reforms
for which he declared the progressive demo
crats had been fighting for years and wanted to
know whore Roosevelt when ho was president
stood on these questions. He declared never
once during his seven years' occupancy of the
White House had Colonel Roosevelt aided in
the fight which Senator La Follette, at first tho
lone progressive in his party, was making
against the reactionary .interests, which, he said,
controlled the White House during the Roose
velt administration.
i Mr.. Bryan 'spoke earnestly in support of Ihe
democratic candidates for congress, declaring ho
was interested in tho election of a congress
which would support a democratic president.
"We have the house at this time," he said,
"and it is highly probable that we will elect a
president and we will also maintain our control
of the house but we miiBt not overlook the
senate."
Bozeman, Mont., Sept. 20. Declaring that
"when president and ex-president fall out, honeBt
people come to their own," William J. Bryan, in
two addresses, made a denunciation of Colonel
Roosevelt, saying that the latter had como into
the vineyard of progressivism "at a quarter to
twelve." He declared that more trusts had come
into being in the Roosevelt administrations,
when ho had a chance to control them, than over
before. He denounced the proposed trust con
trol by a bureau as a method advised by George
W. Perkins.
Mr. Bryan took issue with Colonel Roose
velt's reply at Denver to his statements regard
ing a third term by saying that if no limit were
placed on the holding of non-consecutive terms
a president easily could elect his successor.
He declared that the steam roller that had
run over Colonel Roosevelt at Chicago had been
constructed in 1908, and stated that Wall street
had failed to carry out the program at Balti
more that it had put through at Chicago.
Mr Bryan attacked President Taft's tariff
board policy and said that the United States
has a president who did not trust tho people who
had elected him.
Mr. Bryan praised Governor Wilson as the
people's candidate, who "has intelligence, moral
courage and sympathy with tho people."
Butte, Mont, Sept. 20. William J. .Bryan
closed tonight his campaign trip through Mon
tana, with a speech berore a large a'ssprablage
In a local theater. The trip from Bozeman,
whero he spoke late today, to Butte, was inter
rupted by platform speeches at every stop. Mr.
Bryan will go into Idaho tomorrow. Mr. Bryan
tonight repeated his plea for the election of a
democratic senate as well as a democratic presi
dent, so that party policies and pledges might
he given force. He flayed the republican na
tional committee and that of the progressives.
One reason why he attended the Chicago re
publican convention, Mr. Bryan said, was that
he had become accustomed to one exciting con
vention every four years and that "fearing our
convention might be tame, and knowing that the
The Commoner.
republican would not ho, I wont with an abun
dance of caution rathor than risk tho Iobb of my
quadrennial stimulus."
