UNFURlED THE FLAG
An Enthusiastic Gathering at the Pension
Office Today.
Commfssioncr Murphy Accepts the
HRnfOrd's Recitation.

The vast court of the pension building
was the scene of a soul-stirring patriotic
event at noon today, when the huge new
nag OF the bureau was unfurled. The pro-
gram was brief and simple, but 1t was in
every feature grand success
Al l2:3o the 1,5oO clerks in the building
gathered about the fountain in the center
Of the court and a chorus of forty voices,
under the lead of DR.. Woodman of the
medical division, opened tine exercises by
singing with fine effect My Country, It's of
Thee"
Slowly the notes of the old national
hymn resounded throughout the great hall
the new flag was drawn from the upper
balcony on the south side Of the building,
and swung at last over the center of the
court. AS its immense folds fell over the
balcony every eye was turned toward it.
A sea of upturned faces filled the space
about the fountain, and along all the bal
comics gathered hundreds of men and wo-
men, all gazing upward at the flag.
Swung to the Air.
The chorus, as they sang, also looked up
at the old flag, and put vim and swing in
to their singing that stirred the patriotic
ardor of every one. A mighty cheer was
raised as the flag at last swung clear. and
showed by the side of the old one a few
Commissioner Murphy made the only
speech of the occasion. and it was most elo-
quent in its loyalty to the colors of the
great republic.
AS he closed, Mr.. Murphy introduced Mr..
Charles Hanford, the actor, and soon the
thrilling stanZas of the Star Spangled
Banner" in the speakers rich full, space
conquering tones. filled the big auditorium
to the utmost wall. Again and again he
was cheered, and at the close the vast
throng of grayhalred veterans cheered
long and loud.
The chorus and the concourse of clubs
then sangs the Star Spangled Banner
and the ceremony came to a close all pres
ent joining in a final cheer for the standard
of freedom.
There was a liberal array of American
flags on the democratic headquarters this
morning. great picture of Bryan deco
rates the front of the building and a couple
dozen flags are thrust from the windows
OF the structure. On one flag is attached a
smaller picture of the democratic leader
while in one of the windows is an assort-
ment of red white and blue lanterns.
which will be lighted up this evening. A
single large American flag was made to do
Guty in ornamenting the populist head
quarters.
Preparations have been made for receiv
ing the election returns on Tuesday evea-

Senators Butler and Faulkner Conf
dent Of Bryan's Election.
THE POPULlSTS REVISED ESTIMATE
He Figures Out 258 Electoral
Votes Sure.
NJ A Ny CL UB REP ORT s

Ii confidence won an election, the demo-
cratic-populist managers at headquarters
here would have Bryan elected before the
day for the contest. A Star reporter this
morning talked with Chairman Butler of
the populst national committee and Chair
man Faulkner. to obtain from them their
opinion of the situation on the last day OF
the week before the election.
Chairman Butler arrived from Chica go
last night, direct from close conferences
with Chairman Jones and the other coali-
tion leaders. The populist chairman is run
ming over with the idea that Bryan has a
sure thing. He talked for long time to a
Star reporter. He gave his final estimate
of the result of the election, and it will go
to the public this afternoon. Senator But
Ter has been more conservative from the
beginning than the other national chair
men. He has not claimed as much, and
has apparently tried to be somewhat sure
of his ground before giving out statements
about what he believed.
Chairman Buffers Estimate.
1.-TWO weeks ago." said Chairman Butler,
Il gave out an estimate claiming as abso-
lutely certain for Bryan Dbl votes. In ar
riving at that estimate l gave to Bryan
all of the southern states, including Mary
land and West Virginia; all of the states
west of the Mississippi, except Iowa and
Minnesota, and added Indiana, which then
seemed to be the only sure state in the
middle west for Bryan. These states made
a total of 232 votes. 1 did not include in
that estimate Delaware. In the doubtful
column l placed Michigan, Minnesota and
Illinois, and said that Ohio was trembling
in the balance.
To-day l will add to my estimate of two
weeks ago Michigan, IA votes; Minnesota,
votes, and Delaware, 3 votes-26 more,
giving Bryan 25S sure votes. The estimate
will then stand

BRYAN MAKES A STATEMENT.
He Announces Himself Opposed Il
ReligiOus Tests for Onlceholding.

|
| Mr.. Bryan last night at Madison, Wis.,
| gave out the following statement:
| Il have not attempted to answer all of
| the Misrepresentation which have been
circulated in this campaign, but in these
closing deys l feel that il is necessary to
call your attention to an attack which has
recently been made by the enemy. ] find
| that the republicans are circulating among
| Catholic citizens the charge that 1 am or
| have been a member of the American Pro-
| tective Association. l. have also learned
| that 1 have been accused of being a men,
| or of a society which, 1 think, is known Il
the Junior Order of America IN Mechanics.
| At the same time have been accused in
| other quarters of being opposed 10 the pub
| lie school system and of having voted
| against the teaching of the English Ian
guage in the public schools Of New Mex
| leo. While / have attempted to canfine my
discussion of public issues to the questions
raised by my platform, and have consid-
cred the money question paramount to all
others, l take this opportunity to explain
| my position upon the religious contro-
NerSy which has been raised.
I am not and never nave been a member
of the American Protective Association or
of the Junior Order of American Mechanics
or of any other society hostile to any
church, religion or race, nor have l ever
applied for membership in any such organi-
zatioE. While i am a member of the
Presbyterian Church, l have always be-
lieved that. there should be no religious
test applied in the holding of public offices.
am a believer in the public school system.
1 attended public schools myself and my
children are now attending public schools.
'-"Whife recognize the rights of parents
to, send their children to private schools
and colleges if they 50 desire, 1 believe that
the free public schools must remain part
of our system of government in order that
the means of education shall be within the
reach of every child in the land.

voted against a proposed amendment to the
constitution of New Mexico which COM
PEELED the teaching of the English language
in the public schools, not because the demo-
