Democratic leaders in Washington are
dis ,urbed by reason of reports that Gov
ernor Roosevelt's throat Is in such a dis
tressing condition that his physician may
be compelled to prescribe silence. This,

Bryan.
Information comes from New York, in
regard TO Governor Rooseyelts throat,
that it has sustained irreparable damage,
and that so weak has it become that its
owner cannot even say 'I' above whis-

Mr.. Roosevelts throat has been a source
OF trouble. not so much to himself, Per
haps, as to others. 1t gave considerable
annoyance to certain persons in the New

Some persons have said that Mr.. Roose

in declaiming, as in simply claiming. 1t
said that MT. Roosevelt even lLuS
early in the campaign, has already claimed
that it was he who forced King John 10
sign Magma ChaTta, that it was he who
wrote the Declaration OF Independence,
that it was he who dictated the American
Constitution and that he is the only real,

The Prosperity RoOm.
A leader of organized labor who called
at Democratic headquarters this afternoon
said to Times man:
1T looks as if the bottom is about to
fall out of this prosperity boom. There is
s great strike threatened by the anthracite
coal miners because their wages have been
reduced and the cost of their food. cloth
ing. powder, and other supplies, has been
increased. There is another deep cut in
the wages of %, GOO cotton mill operatives
In Massachusetts. Many cotton mills in
that State are running on short time. The
silk mills in New Jersey after being pam
pered for years by protective tariff are
in a deplorable condition, one of the big

is also threatened stagnation in the metal
industries"

begun to organize for the campaign, and q
large German-AmeTican Democratic Club

be perfected to make the organization
permanent one. The plans at present in
clude the establishment of permanent head
quarters in Baltimore, and the formation
of an organization which will cover the
entire city and certain parts of the State
where there is a particularly large German
vote. German campaign literature consist

believed this can be done in a short while.
One of the prime movers in the plan has
said:
There is no doubt in the world that
here in Baltimore a very large majority of
the German voters are leaning toward
Bryan and the Democratic platform. In
perialism means much to them, as l. is the
very thing which they or their fathers left
