party as set iorui in mo umiuimi
platform did Mr. Bryan conduct his
plea for continued democratic rule,
aB by comparison of legislation en
acted during the past four years with
that written into the statute hooks
by republican administrations dur
ing the half century before.
One by one he enumerated the
laws enacted during the administra
tion of President Wilson and in each
instance gave his viewpoint of how
they were beneficial to the people of
the country as a whole. He did as
sail the woman's party for the par
tisan stand he declared it had taken
with reference to woman's suffrage.
Speaks of Amendment
"A constitutional amendment pro
viding for woman's suffrage can not
be brought aboutl)y any one party,"
Mr. Bryan declared, "but all muBt
work together td that end, for no
constitutional amendment can be
passed without a favorable vote of
two-thirds of both houses of con
gress and by three-fourths of the
states. Such a condition is not like
ly to be brought about by any one
party." i '
Mr. Bryan made 'a plea not only
for support of President Wilson, but
for the democratic candidates in this
state. He made special reference to
the nominees fot congress Judge
William H.ICing; James H. Mays
and M. H. Welling and asserted
that a democratic president without
a democratic congress- was In the
same "position as a- 'man with his
hands tied.
Fully 5000 persons found seats in
the auditorium and several hundred
crowded into all the available stand
ing space. Approximately 2,000, it
is estimated, were turned away at
the door. Those who "arrived early
were fortunate enough to find seats,
but among the late comers were
Joseph F. Smith and Anton H. Lund
of the first presidency of the IVTor
mon church, and other church dig
nitaries ,who were compelled to stand
during a part of the talk.
Compliments Audience
Throughout Mr. Bryan's talk and,
in fact, throughout the entire pro
gramme, the best of order prevailed,
the only interruptions' being pro
longed applause at the mention of
the name of the President or any of
the national or state leaders. At the
conclusion of the address Mr. Bryan
pronounced the audience one of the
most appreciative and responsive
that it had ever been his pleasure to
address.
Mr. Bryan arrived in Utah yester
day irom Nevada, and was met at
Lakeside, on the Southern Pacific, by
James H. Moyle, democratic national
committeeman; Mathonihah Thomas,
democratic state chairman, and other
local members of the party and a
delegation from Ogden. At Ogden
lio gave a talk yesterday afternoon
at the Alhambra theatre and then
arae to Salt Lake, arriving here
about 6 o'clock last evening.
At the station the party was met
by a large 'delegation of democrats
from all parts of the state and es
corted to the Newhouse hotel, where
an informal dinner was given to the
distinguished guest by members of
the democratic state committee and
a few personal friends. Mr. Bryan
will leave here this morning to con
tinue his journey eastward, stopping
at Evanston to deliver an address.
Bamberger Applauded
On account of the late arrival here
last night the meeting at the au
jutorium, which was scheduled to
egin at 8 o'clock, started about half
an hour late. A score of times be
fore Mr. Bryan arrived the audience
as in an uproar at the fancied ap-
The Commoner
proach of the SDcaker. ttnf
the applause was not wasted, as
Senator Simon Bamberger, who can
celed a speaking engagement in the
north to attend the meeting, wormed
his way to the platform.
At the sight of the democratic gu
bernatorial nominee the hall was
rocked with cheers and other evi
dences of enthusiasm, and the dem
onstration was repeated as Mr. Bry
an, accompanied by James H. Moyle
and Mathonihah Thomas, strode
down the aisle.
Mr. Thomas, in a few well-chosen
remarks, introduced Brigham H.
Roberts as chairman of the meeting,
amid thunderous applause. Mr. Rob
erts, before starting on his Introduc
tory speech, asserted that 'ladies
came first, and read a letter of wel
come to Mr. Bryan from the Wo
men's Woodrow Wilson club. It read
as follows:
f,The women of the pioneer Wood
row Wilson club of Salt Lako, City,
being desirous of showing their ap
preciation of the splendid campaign
you are conducting for the re-election
of our President, take this op
portunity of extending to you our
heartiest greetings and a warm wel
come to our state.
Loyalty Declared
"We were loyal to you in the
past, and if the opportunity should
present itself, will be again in the
future. Meanwhile, we stand shoulder
to shoulder with you for the success
of democracy, which will mean so
much to the nation in the next four
years.
Again expressing our appreciation
of the work you are doing we beg to
remain, yours for democratic vie-
tory."
The letter was signed by Mrs.
Anna T. Piercey, president; Mrs.
Bertha M. Gray, vice-president, and
Mrs. Tom D. Pitt, secretary of the
Women's Woodrow Wilson club.
In introducing Mr. Bryan, Chair
man Roberts said:
"An assemblage of the sovereigns
of America such as this to discuss
the welfare of the nation is a sol
emn affair. In -years gone by ,the
democratic party has had little to
offer except promises. It has set
forth its principles and its policies,
but has been powerless to offer more.
The democratic victory in 1912 gave
us the opportunity to present some
thing -more tangible, the achieve
ments of the past four years of- dem
ocratic administration. During that
period many problems that were un
expected and of gigantic proportions
have arisen, and you are aware of
the action that has been taken. You
know what the party has done and
can forecast its action in the future.
Pays Tribute to Bryan
"William Jennings Bryan is not un
known in our state. He made his
first visit hero in 1895. Since that
time he has figured in three nation
al campaigns, in which he has head
ed the national democratic ticket,
and three times he has been work
ing equally as hard for another
leafier of the nartv.
"Jefferson laid the cornerstone
for our policy with foreign nations;
then came Monroe and the world
famous Monroe doctrine. Jackson,
Lincoln and Blaine all have contrib
uted to our relations with foreign
nations, but it was reserved for Wil
liam Jennings Bryan to render the
greatest service yet. Through
treaties with thirty foreign coun
tries ho has provided that no hasty
action will be taken that may lead
to hostilities, and has made war be
tween America and the nations of.
other continents a practical impos
sibility. Ladies and gentlemen, I
have the honor and the great pleas-
23
uro of introducing to you William
Jennings Bryan."

At Grand Forkfl
From the Grand Forks Herald,
Sept. 29.
Nearly exhausted from his long
trip across North Dakota, his voice
trembling and weak, William Jen
nings Bryan, three times candidate

States, and one of the widest known
politicians in the country, delivered
his ninth speech of the day, firing- the
first gun In the democratic campaign

Bume of the trip across the state and

gan in trembling tones, but as the
speech progressed, ho regained to
some extent his usual eloquence and
time after time he reached the ten
sion that marks the true orator,
holding his audience spell bound and
driving home his remarks with a vim
that brought thunderous applause.
Interspersed with wit and humor
ous sarcasm aimed at the repub

one of the best .ever delivered In

speaker was upheld and when he

AT ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO
From the Albuquerque Tribune
Citizen, Sept. 9.3
William Jennings Bryan, citizen of
the world, thrice candidate for the
presidency of the United States,
world traveler, former secretary of
state, author, editor, letcurer, and
world-renowned BtatCBtnan, arrived
in Albucrque this morning and was
met by a number of local citizens at
tho train.
Mr. Bryan has not visited Albu
querquo in several years; and to
those who have bev-i familiar with
him in his former campaigns noticed
the trace of years, in the slight gray
that is beginning to appear in the
hair, the increase In weight, and tho
widening of the bald spot on the well
arched head; but there is still tho
flush of youth about his cheeks, the
old smile and buoyancy are still there,
and the old Bryan, lifting up his
voice, like a Hebrew prophet in be
half of decency and righteousness on
governmental affairs, was the same
as of old as he spoke earnestly of tho
problems of state now facing tho
American people. The Bryan of
"Cross of gold and crown of thorns"
fame of 1896, tho Bryan of St. Louis,
when he made his fight before the
resolutions committee, the Bryan of
Baltimore fame, when he drove the
money-changers out of his party, tho
Bryan who has often laid aside the
prospect of victory for the sake of
his principles, this Bryan, in spite of
defeat, criticism, abuse, is still tho
same, with his old smile, glad hand
shake, and winning voice that wing
the multitude to his cause.
