these beauties is to Introduce panel

SENATOR j. P. JONES
 HAS NOT QUIT BRYAN
Senator Jones Sends Out Statement Deny ing the Report Neither is Sem
 ator Teller Weakening.

Chicago, August 22.-At Democratic na- tional headquarters today Senator Jones, chairman of the national committee, said:
 q see a story printed in the newspapers this morning to the effect that Senator J. P. Jones of Nevada has followed Senator Stewart into the Republican camp, and that Senator Teller of Colarado is showing the greatest indifference to the Bryan cause. I happen to have some definite in- formation concerning this matter and I pronounce both reports absolutely with out any foundation. Senator J. P. Jones has been entirely consistent in his views and actions for twenty-four years, and he is heartily enlisted in the fight for the Democratic party and for MT. Bryan this year. We rely upon him implicitly.
 AS for Senator Teller, we are in con- stant correspondence with him, and I can say that there is not man at national headquarters or in the Democratic party who manifests greater solicitude for MT. Bryant election, and who has worked harder to accomplish it than has Senator Teller.
 "These stories undoubtedly emanate from Republican sources, but I am at loss to understand why the Republicans should at one and at the same time declare that one great issue in this campaign is the silver question: and also give out that all the old silver leaders are coming over to the Re publican party, because there is no silver issue"
 Senator Jones also said that there had been no correspondence between Andrew Carnegie and the national committee re- garding MT Carnegies return from Scot land to make some speeches for Bryan and Stevenson.
 This information was given out by the nti-Imperialist League at Boston," said Senator Jones. 'I have no personal knowl- edge of the matter whatsoever"
