Bryan addressed a large crowd hero tonight. In referring to tho republican and progressive par ties' candidates, Mr. Bryan said he believed President Taft to bo sin cere and honest, but he had made mistakes, which Colonel Roosevelt, the speaker said, had asked him to explain. "I can not explain any more why Mr. Taft made mistakes," Mr. Bryan said, "than I can for the errors made by Roosevelt when president." Mr. Bryan said Colonel Roosevelt was a good authority on bosses on account of his personal acquaintance with a good many of them. He said the colonel had guaranteed Presi dent Taft four years ago and because the latter did not make good, in his estimation, Colonel Roosevelt wanted to show how sorry he was by assum ing the presidency himself forever. Mr. Bryan also spoke at Brigham City and Logan. He will leave for tho east tomorrow.

He spoke in Virginia City, Silver City and Carson, concluding his Nevada visit with an address at a largely attended meeting in Reno tonight. At Carson, Colonel Bryan was in troduced by Governor Odie, and made a speech from tho capitol ro tunda. He compared President Taft to a "boulder in a stream, which collects the driftwood and refuses to move with the progress of time." The president's vetoing of the tariff measures passed recently by con gress was denounced. Colonel Bryan charged tho salient section of the democratic platform had been "taken boldly, and bodily by Mr. Roosevelt and his progres sive party." Speaking to the workmen of the Comstock mines at Virginia City, the Nebraskan asserted that the steel trust had turned out seven hundred million dollars' worth of water stock in a few minutes, while it took the great Comstock mines fifty years, with hard labor of many thousands of men, to produce a like amount.

Greatest political book ever written: it gives Roosevelt tho worst roasting which ho will receive from all other sources, in this campaign; It also roasts Taft, and the republican party to a frazzle. It is witty, humorous, catiri cal. biting, and without malice. It makes all republicans ashamed of them selves. It is more humorous than any thing Bill Nye ever wrote. It will elect Woodrow Wilson in November. Price, 25c a copy, $3,00 per dozen. Orders filled by mall, or express. Remit with all orders. Order a dozen today.

Hamley, nUeraeyJj Camden, Kentucky, A New York dispatch, carried by the Associated Press, says: Tho con tributions to date to tho democratic campaign fund amount to $298,750, it was announced by Henry Morgan thau, chairman of the democratic national financo committee. Of this sum, he said, $20G,086 has been ex pended, and while the national com mittee feels encouraged over the contributions received, there is urgent need of not less than $750, 000 additional to pay legitimate ex penses to the close of tho campaign. - "The feeling of confidence through out the country in the success of the Wilson and Marshall ticket is hurt ing us in a financial way," said Mr. Morgenthau. "We have received contributions from 17,116 persons, ho continued, "and every state In tho union has been heard from." Tho states credited with tho largest amounts are: New York, $105,385; Pennsylva nia, $19,516; Illinois, $15,453; Mis souri, $9,470; New Jersey, $7,012; Wisconsin, $6,125; Louisiana, $5, 645; Virginia, $5,402; Washington, $5,824; Alabama, $5,036; Texas, $4,025; Massachusetts, $3,039.

Textile operatives to tho number of twelve thousand arc affected by the new strike inaugurated at Lawrence, Mass. A Belfast, Ireland, cablegram, ran-ied by the Associated Press, savs: Tho singing of the national anthem by a crowd of three thousand, com prising everybody representative of Belfast's great industrial, mercantile and religious community, brought to a close a great anti-home rulo meet ing in Ulster hall amid a fervor which was not equalled even by the anti homo rule convention of 1892. Tho meeting renewed tho adoption of tho resolution passed at that convention protesting against a homo rule par liament for Ireland. The supremo dramatic moment of the memorable gathering was tho unfurling and pre sentation to Sir Edward Carson, tho chief propagandist against home rule, of the flag carried by King William at the battle of the Boyne. The flag was greeted with frenzied cheering, contrary to expectations. No new pronouncement of unionist policy was made at the meeting. The Ulster watchwdrd Is "Wo will not have home rule," but none of the various speakers, nor letters of the Influential leaders which were read attempted to reveal the plan of re sistance if such a plan exists, should King George sign tho homo rule measure. A Seagirt, N. J., dispatch, nnder date of September 29th, said: Gover nor Wilson issued a statement to night calling on delegates at the New York state convention at Syracuse next Tuesday to choose as eovernor "a progressive man of the kind to be his own master" He likewise urged a progressive platform and declared that "it will not do for tho choice of the convention at Syracuse to be any less free tnan that which gave the third party Mr. Straus and the regu lar republican party, Mr. Hedges." It Is not believed that anything jnoro definite in the way of an ex pression of opinion will bo forthcom ing from tho presidential nominee be fore the Syracuse convention 'begins. It Is regarded also as unlikely that be PATENTS lUtcn rr&sounljle. Wntaon E. Coleman, I'alenl lxvrytr,S (tMmigtoa, II. 1?.
