STATE POLITICS. WHAT NEW SAYS
BRYN TO COLORED MEN POKING AT W. J. BRYAN
DISCUSSES the race question IN XABYLAND.
Points to tho Brown Man In the PhiUppin** as an Object
Lesson.
EASTON, Md., October 24.—The Democratic preatdentlal candidate laat night came down Cheeapeake bay from Baltimore to the hamlet of Claiborne, on the euatern shore of Maryland. This forenoon he apoke at the town* of St. Michael*. Eaaton. Preaton, Hurlock, Vienna, Salisbury and Berlin. At St. Michaels, the first stopping place of the day. Mr. Bryan spoke to a small ruraber of people. Among those In the crowd were some colored people and to them Mr. Bryan addreased himself. On the race question, be said: 'Tt is one of the strange things we see In this campal*,' that the Republican party goes to H black man and urges that man to say t,y 1.1* vote that the brown man In the Philippine Islands has not a right to a culce In this Government. And It seems to me that before a black man votes to disfranchise a brown man he had better And out on what basis his own right stand*, for If we deny to the Filipino the right to govern hlmeelf, what right have »c lo govern ourselves, it cost hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of money to gtve the black man the Declaration of Independence and now we are spending hundreds of thousands, yes. million* of dollar*, and wasting live* to take the Dsiclaratlon of Independence away from the brown man. Before the black men of this country vote the Republican llcket they had better look Into the matter and And out what the chance of the black man Is to be when we draw a race line and say that because a man In the Philippine Islands Is brown and not of oi r race we will send a carnet bag government over there and hold that government by force from him with a standing army We believe In the Declaration of Independence and If we have race problem* to solve here we think It la better to solve them than to go 7,000 miles away from home to get another race problem and enter on Its solution not here at home, but so far away from home as the Philippine islands are."
To th« Farmers.
Easton was the scene of a large gathering. 11 Is the county-seat of Talbot county, an Important agricultural center and here Mr. Bryan addressed himself esfcrtnUv ro the farmers. Referring to the true' Wir. Bryan told his hearers that they’’■ere especially dangerous to the firming community. In hi* speech at Preston, Md.. Mr. Bryan referred to the financial question In response to an Inquiry. The question Hew about 1® to l?"
Mr. Bryan said:
McKinley Coining Silver. "If you want to know about 1® to 1, I will tell you. Sixteen to one was the paramount tasue In 1K96, but the Republl

since then that we are kept busy
new things. But If a Republican dispute* the 1$ to 1 doctrine, you t*'l him that we have a Republican President, a Republican Senate and ft_B*pnbllcan House, and they have never attempted to change the 16 to l rgtlo. and Mr. McKinley Is now coining t liver dollam at the ratio of W to J, without waiting for the aid or cor,*ef!t of any other nation on earth. T’ntll the Republican party proposes to change the ratio, I object to their disclosing tha ratio. When they propose to change It I will discuss it with them.
Contributing to tha Trust.
In hl» Preston speech. Mr. Bryan charged that alt persons contribute to the trusts. ‘T want to tell you." he said.
"ihat the trouble of the Republican party

1* that It makes all Rep
ell Democrats, too; not by coming each man and asking him for it. but the
Republican party coll
Republican party collects a campaign fund from the corporations. Then these corporations collect from you. and the trouble I* that the corporations Insist on collecting a great deal more from the people than they give to the party. We would much rather contribute to the party ourselves than to contribute ten
time* a* much to tha trusts."
In his Salisbury speech M.r. Bryan again gave his definition of the difference between a private monopoly and a Government patent. "No man," he said. • an mistake what we mean when we *ay we are opposed to a private monopoly. We mean that we are opposed to that monopoly whereby all the Industry of a certain kind can be controlled by one man. so that one man tell* you what you will have to pay; that you muat pay a fixed price for the raw- material that you asll and fixed charges for labor. That Is the monopoly
we are opposed to.”
In the Berlin speech, which was attentively listened to by a good audience. Mr. Bryan dwelt especially on the subject of legation without representation. contending that It was Just as unfair for the United States to tax the Filipinos without giving them representation In our legislative bodies as It w-s* for England to tax the American colonies, prior to the revolution, prior to their being represented In the British
Rarllament.
Anti-Saloon Movement. [rineetal »o The Indianapolis News.] MDNCIB, Ind., October 24.—An effort b being made to organise an anti-saloon league in this city. This was tried last Jear. but failed because the business men of Muncle would not support It. The ik w- attempt Is being made by the Mints‘••rial Association.
BOOBEVELT GIVES DEMOCRATIC LEADER MUCH ATTENTION.
Using Strong Language In New York To-Day—The Porto Rican
and Hla Vote.
NORWICH, N. Y., October 24.—Governor Roosevelt, the third day of his second electioneering tour of New York State, arose about 8 o’clock and breakfasted at 9. He was In good health and suffered only a little from hoarseness. To-dky's schedule took In Utica, Earlvllle, Casonovta, Canstota, Oneida and Rome, the Utica demonstration occurring
>p of the day was made, the Governor took up the statement of Mr. Bryan that the people of Porto Rico, particular!] the blacks, were disfranchised. He said
icularly
at night. At Karlvltle. where the first
of up
people
me blacks, were aisrrancmsea. tie said; "I challenge Mr. Bryan becauae of hla absurd Insincerity as shown In this State by answers he made to certain questions and statements he has made. The other day Mr. Bryan was asked how he reconciled hi* demand for self-government for Malay bandits with the denial of his party, the denial of those who intend to gave him electoral votes, of the right of self-government to our fellow-citizens of duskier skin in North Carolina, and he answered that all men of color were not allowed to vote In Porto Rico. Now I say that answer was utterly insincere; that using the word dishonest In Its largest sense, it was not an honest answer. That Is a serious thing to say, and 1 would not say it if I could not prove It by documentary evidence. Mr. Bryan either knows or ought to know the qualifications of the suffrage In Porto Rico. There is not In Porto Rico the slightest restriction on account of color. Every men is treated on his worth as a man. In North Carolina the black man Is disfranchised as such by qualifications that apply to him and not to the white
man.
"In Massachusetts he has got to be able to read and write—that Is. there are men who can not vote in Massachusetts,
te In Porto Rlc
but can vote In Porto Rico; but any man who can vote in Massachusetts can vote in Porto Rico. In short, the present conditions oi suffrage in Porto Rloo represent a stride toward enfran-
chisement."
Governor Roosevelt took particular delight along the route to-day in asserting that Mr. Bryan was absolutely insincere, as wan proved he alleged, by the fact that the dtate of Nebraska had no Icbor laws, and that Mr. Bryan while in Congress never attacked a trust. THE TRUST EVIL.
Mr. Bryan Sayg the Democratic Platform Meets It. BALTIMORE. October 24.—W. J Bryan yesterday, In reply to a question concerning a remedy for the trust evil, made the following statement: "Publicity Is good, but publicity alone Is not sufficient. The practices of the trusts must not only be made known, they most be prevented. The Republican party has no remedy for trusts. We
have.
"1. Enforce’ the demand in the Democratic plg-lform for legislation which will 1'lace trust-made articles on the free list. The corporations will then not be Inspired to combine In this country to raise prices here while they gelt abroad In coronalltlaa ntUh.the world. There Is no Upubt that such legislation would protect t*«' people from much of the extortion which Is practiced under' cover of high tariff laws. "2. Provlds by law that before any corporation organised In any State shall do business outside of that State It. (hall be granted a license by the Federal govern-
ment.
••Cingress must co-operate with the State in preventing the organisation of any Interstate monopoly without Impairing the present autnorlty of the State. Congress can provide that the operations ol a corporation must be confined to the State tn whtch It was organized until certain necessary conditions are compiled with If the people of any State are willing to create and continue a monopoly. the people of other States need feel no concern so long as the monopoly Is conllned to the State In which the corporation originates. But the moment a monopoly crosses the State line and Invades other States. Congress has a right to, and must Interfere, tor the protection of the country at large. Why should a corporation be permitted to engage in Interstate commerce for any purpose except a beneficial one, and what harm or Injustice is done by compelling the corporation to show that it Is going into Interstate commerce for the benefit of the public? "S. Provide that the license of a corporation doing interstate business be forfeited the moment the corporation attempts to monopolize any branch of business. By this means the corporation can be ahut up In one State and forty-four States taken away from It. until It shows that It is an honest and legitimate enterprise. Those who de*lrs the annihilation of the trusts are not hostile to property lights, hut they protest against allowing a fictitious person, created by law, and called a corporation, to trample upon the rights ot the natural man of flesh and blood." Jones to Speak at Portland. 1 Special to The Indianapolis News.) PORTLAND. Ind..

BURKE AND OVERSTREET NEW DOWN FROM CHICAGO
At the beginning of the campaign Prank L. Jones and Charlss A. Greathouse. Republican and Democratic candidates respectively for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, agreed to make their campaign a friendly one. This agreement has been carried out to the letter. The two candidates attended all the county Institutes of the State together and adopted a plan of soliciting support by each throwing bouquets at the other. This friendly race has Introduced an unique feature Into State politics, and one that has proved a popular Innovation, although the effectiveness of the plan as a vote gainer for either candidate remains to be demonstrated. Mr. Greathouse was at the Grand to-
day and tn reply to the question If he and hla opponent still had the hatchet
burled, he answered:
“Oh. ysa; Jones and I am the best friends In the world. We have agreed that, whatever the result, a good man will bo elected, and so we am only waiting for the ballots to be counted. I was over to see Jones yesterday, mmd told him that It was all off and that he had better hunt a new Job, as I had positive assurance that I would be elected. He seemed to doubt this, and I offered to bet him NO.OOO on the result. He took me up and the bet would have been made had

Constitutional Amendment Ballots to Go in County Boxes. Attorney-General Taylor has given an cplnton of much Interest to voters. As there will be four ballots and only three boxes, the question has arisen, where the constitutional amendment ballot shall be placed. Mr. Taylor says that the Supreme Court has decided that all properly marked hallota shall be counted, no matter In which ballot box they are found. Therefore the constitutional amendment ballot can be counted In any of i he boxes. The State Election Board, however, has agreed that the constitutional amendment ballot shall be placed In the box with the county ticket ballots, as they are printed on white paper. Mr Taylor says, with reference to road supervisors, that the most of the township trustees have divided their townships Into four districts, but some have not. and have allowed the districts to stand as they were before the act of '99 was passed. He says that the only thing to be done In these cases Is to place all the names of the candidates for supervisors on one ticket, and then let the court determine who Is elected. FROM THE NINTH.

Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta, Ga., senior bishop of the A. M. E. church, was In the city to-day on his way from Chicago, where he assisted Bishop Grant In the opening of the Institutional church. Since Bishop Turner's declaration, made public several weeks ago, of a preference for Bryan as between the two presidential candidates, newspapers throughout the country have commented on the matter and have caused the bishop no little annoyance by what he calls a misinterpretation. Because, first of all, as he says, ’^although relatively as Its senior bishop, kfjhe head of the African Methodist Eplscopb.1 denomination In this country and In AfrlOg.

Cotner is a candidate for the Legislature again from Cass and Fulton counties, and Is practically assured of election, as he has a Democratic majority of 600 In his district. It has been reported that In case the Democrats secure control of the Legislature Mr. Cotner will be a candidate for Speaker of the House, and he confirmed this report. He was one of the youngest members of the last House, and he said that all the Democratic candidates for Speaker this year will be young men. O. W. Loutet, of Ft. Wayne, and John James, of Oreencastle. are the only others who have Indicated a desire for the honor, and they are
both young.
Mr. Cotner says that If the rest of the State may be Judged from the situation In Cass county, Indiana Is safely Democratic. "The Democratic barbecue at Logansport, last Thursday." said he. "was the largest and most successful demonstration we have ever had In Cass county. Senator Daniels and Bourke Cockran were the orators for the occasion, and we believe that they made many votes. Mr. Cockran made a
