Judge Cole several weeks ago refused 10
naturalize an Italian because the man ad-

Faulkner at Headquarters.
The most important event at the head
quarters of the democratic congressional
committee today the visit of Secre-
tary Hoke Smith, who called there and
had long and confidential talk with Sen
ator Faulkner. This visit, at time wher
the sound money democrats are prepar-
ing to hold their convention and to place
a third ticket in the field, is regarded as
extremely important. and is looked upon as
showing that the Secretary of the Interior
proposes to give no halfway support to
the ticket nominated at Chicago Com
menting on this visit today, a prominert
democrat said:
There can be no doubt as to the attitude
of Secretary Smith. Some democrats have
feared that the Secretarys support of the
Bryan ticket would be very small II the
administration democrats were to place a
ticket in the field, and that he would give
his support to the Bryan ticket only as
choice between that and republican affil-
iations. At the proper time Secretary
Smith will come out in u2eQuivocal terms
In support of the ticket nominated at Chi
cago. and there can be little doubt tina
he will work earnestly for it as he ha
worked for his party in the past"

THE SILVER STATES
They Are Now Likely to Be Lost
to Bryan.
OF FHE FUSION IN IDAHO
Widespreading Effect Of the Snub
to Silver Republicans.
DU BOIS AND TIE L L Z r

The announcement in dispatches from
Idaho that the democrats and popuiists of
that state are going to enter into a fusion
leaving the silver republicans out is very
important and a matter of great concern
to the democrats. If this course is decided
on by the democrats of Idaho it is contrary
to the plans of the democratic managers,
and If Ii is followed it is likely to result
In the loss to Bryan of number of
called silver states which have been count
ed on confidently by the democrats.
1t will go far beyond the limits of Idaho.
Dubois and Teller are the men on whom
the democrats depend to draw the western
silver republican vote to Bryan SO as to
make it possible for him to carry several
of the far western states.
Broke Faith With Dubois.
The democrats are comparatively small
faction in all these states, and the silver
republican vote is what is depended on to
give Bryan the states.
The failure of the democrats in Idaho to
act in good faith with Dubois is apt to
ALLEVIATE almost the entire silver republi
can vote of that section of the country.
1t will not end with Idaho, but will ex-
tend into all the silver-producing states
and even into Illinois. where Dubois In
fueI.ce is almost the only potential factor
In holding what republican silver men
there are there to the support Of Bryan.
A Serious Blow to Bryan.
The action of the Idaho democratic con-
ventiOn, which is probably correctly re-
ported, is regarded as the most serious blow
Bryan has experienced. Dubois, quite as
much as Teller, Is the leader of the silver
uen who were relied on to make Bryan s
election possible. Recently he captured a
large majority of the republican primaries
in that state, turning them over to Bryan.
Senator Shoup. with his following, preserves

The action of the democrl.s will prob
