He arrived here this morning at 6:50, and left almost Immediately on a special Interurban car to visit a dozen cities in the central section of Indiana. The principal address" will be made at Indianapolis at 8 p. m. today. Yesterday's tour of the "Commoner" was through the southern part of the state, a special train under the direction of the Democratic state committee being utilized. The first address of the day was at F.razil at 8 a. in. At every point where the train stopped a large audience was present to greet Bryan. Bryan and Taiygart Confer. Thomas Taggart, chairman of the Democratic national committee, met the train at Mitchell and was cordially greeted by P.ryan. The two retired to Bryan's state room and were in consultation for thirty minutes. At Bedford Bryan referred to the work of President Roosevelt in bringing peace to Tlussla and Japan. In his Mitchell speech Bryan said: "President Roosevelt has said what I dared not say six years ago that if the railroads did not get out of politics there will be no alternative than that the government must own the railroads. I said the same thing sx months before President Roosevelt said it. He is: today more radical than I was six years ago. The only difference between us is tlrat he uses 'if and I move to strike that Avord out." PNot Present, as a Candidate. At Terre Haute, where he addressed a large crowd. Bryan referred to his candidacy, saying: 'I am here in Indiana not as a candidate for office, for I have insisted that it is too early to know who ought to be nominated by either party. Nominees ought to fit
the platform, and platforms are made
to fit conditions, and each party is entitled to all the light that circumstances can throw upon the situation; and while I have been indorsed by a
good many states I have told them In
aavanoe uiat i would not bring a breach-of-promise suit against any of
them if they went back on their prom ises and supported some one else." Feature of His Speech."
Throughout all of Bryan's speeches
the point that he asserted and that he seemed to dwell upon the most was
that all of the good things that have
boon accomplished by President Roose
velt and the Republican congress have
been "borrowed," as he expressed it,
from the Democraticplatforms of 1SU0,

Charles F. Murphy, leader-of Tam

represented in the Democratic state ticket and predicted the election of

sequences, when the board of elections
decided that the managers of the League having named a full state ticket were entitled to say what candi

the courts sustain the opinion of the board many Democrats nominated by
