Taft's speeches which will be recited are, "The Effect of the Proposed Jury Trial in Contempt Cases," "Postal Savings Banks," "What Constitutes an Unlawful Trust," and "The Functions of the Next Administration." The Bryan speeches will be, "The Trust Question," "The Publication of Campaign Contributions," "The Labor Question," and "The Guarantee of Bank Deposits...
