AN A. P. A. SENSATION
President Echols to Be Attacked From
Many Sides.
His Action in the Political CamDairn
to BE Severely Criti-
cfsed.

A big sensation is expected within the
next few days out Of the A. p A, circular
attacking Bryan.
President Echols, as intimated in The
Star, has been and Il to be attacked on
various sides because of his position and
the position in which he has placed the
order. One Of the most prominent attacks
is from ex-Supreme President Traynor,
who is in Detroit He has already ex-
pressed himself on the attitude of the su-
preme officers but is going to come out in
few days with red-hot attack in his
paper and in other ways. He will do this,
1t is said. since the last circular sent out
by the A. P. A. authorities.
From right here in the city Mr. Echols
Is to be attacked. 1t is understood that a
circular Is now being printed, signed by
one Of the most prominent members Of the
order. in which Mr.. Echols is charged with
serious things. Another attack along the
same lines is in the hands of printers. The
attacks will be more severe than that is
sued from Louisville few days ago. That
one was signed by five prominent members
of the order.
1t is said that copies Of the A. P. A. cir
cular are to be printed. and distributed
broadcast for the purpose OF offsetting the
effects that are expected to be produced in
A. P. A. circles against Bryan. The object
Of the circulation of the circulars will be to
permit all anita. p. A. people to under
stand the methods being resorted to by the
order. or part of 1t, in the campaign 1t
is alleged that this will make votes for
Bryan. If it does not do so, 1t is said that
the publication of the entire matter at this
time will have the effect Of opening the eyes
of members Of the order and Of preventing
them from becoming as solid on one side as
had been expected.
1t is learned that one of the chief objects
on both sides in the fight now at hand Is
the capture of Maryland. 1t is said that
there are 1900 A. F. A.. voters In Mary
land, and that they are now almost solid
fer Mckinley, owing to the fight being made
cn Bryan by the supreme officers. The
other side proposes to cripple the supreme
officers If possible, and prevent the vote Of
the order being thrown solfdly to Mckinley

MR.. FAULKNER'S PREDICTION.
He Says Mr. Bryan Will BE Our Next

Chairman Faulkner OF the democratic
congressional committee talked today to
a Star reporter about the great contest
which is to be settled at the polls on Tues
DAY week. He reviewed political and
economical conditions since the act of 1873,
expressed his opinion of that exclusive
cub Of wealthy gentlemen who met at
Indianapolis and touched upon the CON
traction of currency"
Senator Faulkner talked more specifically
in his claims for the democrats than ever
before. going over number of the states
ard expressing his opinion Of each. He
said:
None who have watched the course of
this campaign can doubt the result in the
sc uthern states. The money used by the
republican party In the election in Georgia
and Florida affected in not the slightest
degree the result in those two states or
decreased in the least the democratic VIC
tories there. Kentucky, though sought to be
driven from her democratic anchorage by
some of her sons who have in the past been
trusted and honored by her people, who
taught them the very principles now in
Volved In this contest, and which are being
maintained by our great organizations will
decline to follow these former leaders
Kentucky can be relied upon for 20 600 ma
tority. Maryland has suffered during one
year of republicsnism as Kentucky has
West Virginia will shake off the nightma re
CI TWO years continuance and place herself
along with the states Of the south in the
democratic column. We have no doubt of
that.
bryan to Have 22O Votes Sure,
West Of the Missouri every state will
give its electoral vote to VIM. ]. BRYAN.
If this is correct prediction of the result
already foreshadowed his vote in the cleo
toral college will be DO, leaving but four
additional votes to be secured from the
great central west, consisting of Ohio, In
diana, Illinois. Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. In these states the battle
is beirg fought from every hillside and
through every valley with an earnestness
and intensity upon the part of the agricul-
tural and laboring classes. Should we carry
Illinois, which, from Information now in
cur possession, l believe is now absolutely
assured, We could lose four Of the states
making up my estimate Of go and still elect
Mr.. Bryan. and If We carry Indiana and
Michigan we could lose the same and still
tie successful. The state of Iowa is now
tottering in the republican column 1t is
now conceded that Minnesota will elect Mr.
Lind governor upon the fusion ticket ami
who doubts, IL this Is true, that under the
peculiar ballot now used it will carry the
whole electoral ticket with 1t. Michigan
has always been, and is now, regarded as
safe as almost any state in the west for the
democratic nominee. Mr. Bryan will be our
next President"
