In New York Bryan Day unfolds with Nebraskan leader William Jennings Bryan touring and addressing German singing societies amid welcomes in Newark Jersey City and New Haven. He plans a West Coast trip beginning Sunday or Monday and hints he may stay in Nebraska beyond March while weighing a presidential run.
William Jennings Bryan delivers a broad critique of trusts and corporate power in Madison Square Garden urging punitive action against monopolies, promoting arbitration, self government in the Philippines, and reform in campaign finance while urging Congress to be recalled and senators to be elected by direct vote. The speech emphasizes peace, international arbitration, and public ownership where needed, with a call to curb corporate influence and protect workers.
Speech advocates moral distinctions between vote selling and corporate influence, denounces trusts and government by injunction, calls for arbitration in labor disputes, supports eight hour workday, and urges full enforcement of the Sherman act. Bryan plaudits Roosevelt, critiques Republican platform, defends bimetallism, and argues for total overthrow of monopoly with substantial remedies.

He refused to discuss politics or persons and avoided questions on Speaker Cannon Philip Pine islands and Americanism. He said Russia would likely have a constitutional government but would not venture political forecasts. He praised Nebraskans voted him to Congress and stated Hearst had not been unfriendly. He avoided tariff discussion noting it too large for brief remarks.
