CINCINNATI. O., Bept. it. "All I
ask of the President 1 that he put
into practice fo: a month and a hair
what he has talked about for seven
years, and' that la a square deal."
Twice today William J. Bryan, dem
ocratic candidate for president gave
expression to tlila utterance, the first
time In Dayton and again In this city
tonight, to two of the largest audi
ences h aver has faced. It was not a
square deal, ha charged, for the pres
I, h nt to pick out one republican and
nominate him over" other republican
and It was not a square deal for the
president to use bis office, which be
longed to all the people, as a party
asset. He added a new feature to his'
speeches during the campaign by
comparing the personal rpcord of him
self and Mr. Tart.
Mensurable Day.
After a memorable day In the hls-
tory of campaigning In this state, Mr.
Bryan arrived in this city tonight at
7:16 o'clock from Dayton, where he
stayed several hours en route from
Columbus. His train, which made the
run as a special at the rate of 68
mlls an hour was decked with flags
and bunting, placed there at the re
quest of employes of the' Cincinnati,'
Hamilton and Dayton railroad. Ac
companying Mr. Bryan were Judson
Harmon, democratic nominee for gov
ernor; State Chairman Flnley and a
big escort from Cincinnati.
"Hurrah for Bryan." ,
. As the train carrying the distin
guished Nebraska!) , pulled 'Into the
station through ft" gauntlet of red fire,
thousands of throats sent up n mighty
yell of "Hurrah for Bryan." The pro
tress of Mr. Bryan from the railroad
station to tbS hotel was a continuous
laudation.
The reception accorded the demo
cratic candidate on his way from Col
umbus Was remarkable. Ijirge
crowds turned out all along the line,
but It remained for Dayton to over
whelm him. So great were the crowds
that he was compelled to deliver two
extra speeches to street throngs that
stupped street car traffic. He was
showered with flowers and greeted
with vociferous applause from the
thousands from the city and sur
rounding points. During his speeches
n the Victoria and the National
theatres at Dayton, Mr. Bryan read a
telegram -from Nationnl Chairman
Mack to Harvey C. darber, national
committeeman. In this message Mr.
Mack denied the story which hail been
circulated that as chairman of tin- Na
tional committee he had declared that
there hadoe'en left over from the last
campaign - $300,000 or any other
amount.' Mr. Mack also asserted that
he bad not received from Governor
Haskelt.or- anybody else, any money
from the 'Standard Oil company or
other corporations. Mr. Bryan cor
toborated Mr. Mack's telegram.
('oiupHitu'iittt Taft.
In his speeches here tonlRht Mr
Bryan said:
"As this la the home of my oppo
nent. I desire to take occasion to ex
press my high opinion of his character
and accomplishments. I think that I
pay htm a higher compliment In as
suming that he la able to conduct his
o campaign, than the president
does In contesting with him the lead
ership of the party in the campaign.
As Mr. Taft referred to my record. I
feel that It Is only fair that I should
make a brief reply. It Is perfectly
ultimate that both the public and
the private records of candidates
should be brought under Inspection,
tor the private record Is as much an
index to a man as his public act Mr

In some respects, Mr. Tafl has been
more fortunate than I. lie has had

and Sealed Attacks Haskell Again
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. ilt.-i-Whlle ad
dressing the state convention of the
Independent league last night Wtl
Ham Randolph Hearst again attacked
Charles N. Haskell, and read court
records tending to Show that Mr, Has

Oil company while he was governor
of Oklahoma.
Mr. Hearst also read letters al
leged to have passed between John G.
ArehbqUl of the Standard Oil com
pan and Senator John L. McLaurln
Of. flouth Carolina. After reading ths
court records In reference to Mr. Has

"So It appears, not rrom my as
sertion, but rrom court records, that
Mr. Haskell is not only a Standard
Oil tool and a crooked railroad pro
moter, birt a steel trust organiser.
"No wonder he can get money for
Mr. Mack, and no wonder Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Kern do not want to relin
quish si) valuable a campaign treas

ters regarding Standard Oil, I want to
read you Mr. Haskell's opinion of that
corrupt Corporation, expressed pub
licly in a speech at a banquet at
Tulsa, Okla., on February 29. 1908:
" 'My friends: -We often hear for
want, perhaps, or some clearer thought
we often hear a speaker assail the
Standard Oil company. I sometimes
think that the speaker has merely
heard the name mentioned, and does
not know what the purpose of the
company Is, or Its plan of business.
The Standard Oil company has done
wonders In the United States. The
Standard OH company, by the appli
cation of good sense to Its business,
by the application of genius and dis
covery of the component parts of the
raw material, has made oil products
reach values that were never dreamed
or a few years ago.' '
