In His Speech—It Was .lust as Well for the Itcpiiblicans That he Was Not Heard as There was no Weight to his “Near Argument" —Much Cheering for Itryan.
Judge Taft, Republican candidate for President, spoke to a crowd estimated at from 3500 to 4000 people at the Motion station at 8:23 this morning. The crowd was about half as large as the one to hear Mr. Bryan on Sunset Hill. Mr. Taft’s throat is in such condition that he spoke only five minutes. He could be heard only about 30 feet from his train.

And in the third place the scheduled 25minute talk lasted for just 5 minutes. Several of the DePauw students who were down to hear the speech were the noise makers during the time the crowd was awaiting the arrival of the Taft train. These boys, many of them Democrats, found n good opportunity to rid themselves of their college spirit by giving yells for Mr. Taft. Many Cheer for Hryan. The crowd consisted largely of Democrats who were there to see the Republican candidate more out of curiosity than anything else. This ■was clearly demonstrated when the Taft train started to pull out. There was more cheering for Mr. Bryan at that time than for Mr. Taft. What Air. Taft Said. Mr. Taft noticeably avoided all of the issues of the campai .n in his speech. County Chairman Zeis went x-x-x •x~x~> x-: •••x-’-x-x-x-v •:

He did not explain how he expected to alone cope with the “eonfldence restoring" question, when “Teddy” went to Africa to hunt lions. And if prosperity of the RooseveltTaft variety causes panics, why, why should the people want confidence restored, for, if Taft is right, if confidence is restored business will flourish and when business is good panics will result.

T. T. Moore, however, forgot to doff his bonnet in the excitement of the
minute.
The noise of the exhaust from a freight engine which stood beside the Taft car caused much noise and noticeable annoyance to the candidate. Once Mr. Taft stopped speaking and looked around at the engine in a most disgusted “tone of voice.” Tiie engine, however, paid little attention to the candidate’s look of scorn and continued to “blow off for cevcral seconds. It was rumored on the streets this morning that the Tin-plate Mill officers have Issued a statement to their employes stating that the mill will (lose down for four years In ease Mr. Hryan is elected.

One of the conspicuous banners hold mi in front of the candidate as he spoke read “Somebody Lied.” Surely it was not the intention of the creator of the sign on the banner to
be personal.
Mr. Taft in his speech this morning stated that the panic was not felt in tin' West. Soon after Mr. Taft's train had gone Ezra Smythe, a prominent Greencastle railroad man, who was in California a few months ago. called at the office of the Herald anil asked that the people of Putnam County bo informed correctly regarding the panic and the West. Mr. Smy the said that the panic was felt In California even more than in the middle states. He stated that at tie time he was in California that thous-. anils of workingmen were out of om- j ploynient and that it was Impossible for them to get work. Those who were working were getting the mag- ] nifleent wage of $1.15 per day.
