Some Questions for Colonel Bryan: to Answer,
William Jennings Bryan Is now engaged in a campaign speaking tour of Nebraska. While addressing the
voters at different points the taxpaylng citizens would like to have him answer a few questions that are specially
pertinent and timely:
Do you approve of the) deal, which your brother-ln- law, T. S. Allen, chairman of the democratic state commit
tee, has made with the tax shirking railroads to line all the democratic legislative candidates up against the taxa
tion of railway terminals for municipal purposes tire sam. as other city property? v
Are you In favor of compelling the railroads to vay city taxes on their property within limits of municipal
corporations, or in favor of the continuance of the present system by which they escape paying city taxes almost en
tirely? Doea your declaration that no one connected directly or Indirectly with privilege seeking corporations should
have any place in the councils of the democratic party apply to Chairman Allen in his partnership with the legal rep
resentative of the Missouri Pacific railroad and the use of partnership stationery in Bending out democratic cam
paign literature? '
Will you use your influence next winter to get the democrats in tho legislature to join with the republicans
i to forc tn8 pilroal8 to P thetr full
! brother-in-law, Chairman Allen?

Secretary Taft came as a representative
of the administration to urge especially
the election of a republican congress to
uphold the hands of tho president In his
work of reform. A large part of his ad
dress wai devoted to a review of the work
of the administration in curbing the power
of the trusts and introducing reform In
the administration of the- laws regulating
the trusts. He ridiculed the Idea that the
democrats, who have been fighMng the pres
ident, could give him better support than
he republicans, to whom he has always
looked for support. He also discussed prob
lem of the administration in relation to the
Philippines, Cuba and the South American
republics.
No Trlek of the Orator.

oratiraj trick to rouse, artlflnally the
enthusiasm of his audience, but It was h
very demonstrative crowd that greeted hlni.

to one of tho nation's really great mien.
The administration of Roosevelt has boetr -a
most strenuous one and the tnost stren
uous member 'of hin .cabinet- has been Wil
liam H. Taft." " . .-
As Mr. Taft steppe forward the crowd
OKaln went wild. .The people rose to their
feet again and cheered for several min
ute. He began to speak nlowly and de
liberately, depending more on logical think
ing than on figure of oratory. His mention
of the natne of Congressman Kennedy wan
the occasion for another demonstration.
Applause punctuated bis speech at fre
quent Intervals. He spoke for an hour ami
a half., but not a pet son left the audlonce
