LINCOLN. Sept. II. (Special.) W. J.
Urynn started today on a two days' speak
IDE tour that will extend over the rural dis
tricts ot Cask, Otoe and Lancaster coun
ties. Next Wednesday ovcnlng W. J. Ilryan
and Attorney General Smyth will speak at
Nebraska City and from there Urynn will
go to 1'npllllon for nn evening meeting- Ills
next Mtoi will be at Blair, and after hln
meeting In that city he will start on the
South Dakota trip that has been arranged by
the nutlnnul committee. It Is not oxptcted
that Urynn will return to Lincoln after next
week until a few days before election.
This morning Mr. Ilryan and Chairman
Joiii'B held ti long consultation over the long
dlstancu telephone. Mr. Ilryan expressed
a preferenco for an evening meet Ins at
Madison So,.iaro (.artlcii, New York, rather
than an afternoon meeting. He also agiced
to havo MIchlKan and Connecticut added to
Lis Itinerary.
Tho fact that Mr. Urynn has devoted so
much of his tlmu to speaking In tho Plrst
'Congressional district Is believed to he
in indication that thn fuslontsts arc not
placing very much reliance In tho ability
of Ocnrgo W. Ilerge. the congressional nom
inee, as a campaigner. With the exception
of ono or two speeches Mr. Ilryan has not
arranged a tlnglo date outside ot the First
district.
llrjini II III an Auto,
W. J. Uryan and an automobile attracted
more attention in tho streets here today
than all the signboards, campaign banners
and street nrntnrs in the city put together.
It wan his first ride on a "inobo" and
at Its eoncliistlon he said It was not only
-xrlttng but exhlleratlng. The machine In
which Ilryan rode Is tho property of Joo
'Wlttmaii anil as It Is tho only one In tho
city It naturally attracts conslderablo at
tention, but with Ilryan in It the peoplo
looked on In amazement. Ilryan started
from his homo on I) street, went down Sev
mitucnth street tit the rato of twelve miles
per hour, thon turned a sharp curve on O
street and Hpcd up through the business
section of tho city, passing street ears and
other vehicles so rapidly that everybody
thought tho machine wns running away. It y
thotlmo tho automobile arrived nt tho depot
it wns setting n pact for over a dozen
wheelmen, who were following nlong to sco
what was going to happen next.
I'rlvalo Secretary Jewell returned this
morning from Ilentrlrc, where ho repre
sented (Jovemor I'oynter In the transfer of
tho Institution for Pueblo Minded Youth.
"I-mg has not yet settled with tho state
no far as I know, but I presume- that he

by Mr. Oldham, who stnted that he wns the
freo show before the circus commenced
Ho spoko truly ho was a show. Ho Insulted
Roosevelt, said he was led Into an ambush
and had two negro regiments killed nnd was
rescued by Optional Wheeler. Mr. Ilryan
was In rood vclre. The day was Ideal. Re
publicans, democrats nnd populists wero well
repiesi tiled.
The speaker announced that he would not
talk on trusts now, but on account of lo;al
rcatons he would speak next Wednesday
night In Nebraska City on trusts. In fight
ing n disease ho raid lie must go where the
dlieaso U. He advanced tho usual argu
ments on Imtcrlalli-m, militarism and blmrt
allsm. He said there was not tho pros
perity republicans think there Is. There is
t.ot as much as thcro was and what there
Is they are not responsible for.
Mr. Ilryan appealed to 'the spirit of dis
loyalty when ho attacked the republican
party on account of tho Philippine cties
tlon by Baying thnt republicans wnnted to
trado In blood, asking the question: "How
much nro 2,000 dead bodies worth?" He
pleaded for tho Doers and accused repub
licans of lack of sympathy. Una Incident
occurred that was laughable. When Mr.
Ilryan stopped on Main street ono enthusi
astic fuslnnlst culled for threo cheers for
Ilryan, but after calling his threo tlmoj
threo there was not even one cheer. We
noticed houses today displaying the national
colors that fall to do so on Independence
day.
Mr. Ilryan announced thnt In his speech
at Nebruska City next Wednesday even
ing he would discuss tho trust cttettlon be
cause of tho prcrfcmo there of tho starch
combination. Ho snld that tho democrats
bellevo as much In tariff reform as they had

Ily u voto ot 27 to 10 tho Central Labor'
union hiBt night decided to place Itself at the
mercy of tho political charlatans nnd to be
again used as trading stock to advance the
political ambitions of iilhco seckors.
This decision was arrived at Into In the
evening after n long nnd acrimonious de
bate, In which peifcounlllles were Indulged
in to n measure seldom seen In tho meet
ing of tho central body.
W. H. Hell Introduced a resolution, saying:
Unsolved, hv the Central Labor union
that no member of the orniiiilisntlun l
empowered or has Ixeii empower" d to
speak for or represent the Central L.ib"r
union on political matters1.
President Asa Taylor was on the Iloor at
onco protesting against its passage, lie
raid that while he had not been gullly of
tho practices mentioned, n tho resolution
was aimed nt him. Thh brought up a dls-
eusblon of Tuylor's course In tho late re
publican convention.
Ed Copenhnrve of South Omaha said that
Taylor In eiidcnvnrlng to have certain per
sons nominated by tho convention was
speaking for organized labor.
Tho president tookcxcoptlons to Copcn-
harvo's remarks nnd mid that In tho con
vention ho never protruded to represent the
organized labor of Oninha, hut represented
a political association aud tho Union Labor
club, a political association of South Omaha,
composed of union worKlugmcn.
Dclegnto Willis of tho Piessman's union
stnted that the South Omaha organization
was composed of men not lilcntllled with
organized labor, logeiher with a few who
held cards; that at the meetings not more
than fifteen men were present nnd nil but
two of them wero opposed to the party upon
whom Taylor was trying to force candi
dates.
Taylor denounced all tho reports circulated
against him ns lies anil on n voto his posi
tion was sustained.
Tho law committee previous to this re
ported its action before tho county commis
sioners In asking that the submission ot tho
rural railway bond proposition be postponed
until tho Central Labor union should havo
time to Investigate tho mntter. It nlso re
ported n resolution In opposition to tho
scheme, which, utter much dlEcusslnn, was
adopted by u vote of !I3 to 10. In the dis
cussion tho nrgumcnt becamo so heated
that for a tlmo it looked as though several
of tho members would rotno to blows. The
resolution us ndoptcd wns:
