Bryan are said to have gone into executive
session behind closed doors in St. Louis.
When the meeting broke up none of them

cided to keep hands off. 1t is believed that
Bryan will talk after election.
George Doing Hard Work.
All the factions are working hard, but

Tammany is booming things as from the
beginning. 1t is said that Croker has I'M
dertaken to curb Mayor Harrison of Chi
cago. Harrison will be Mr.. Crokers guest
at the Murray Hill Hotel, where it is

WORD or to appear in public at any time
during the campaign.

verified. JOHN C. SHEEHAN
Citizens Union-All indica tons TODAY are
that our campaign is making even better
progress than 1t made last week. The con-

plurality will surprise even his strongest
supporters. l never read anything more
