SOLID FOR BRYAN.
sin Coming Our Way With a Rush.

Z. ]. Lacy, the Populist nominee
for Congress in the Second district,
has Withdrawn and advises every
body to vote for Bryan for President
and Col. Thomas b. Davis fol
Congress.
Former Lieutenant Governor
Jones of New York, known as
Clones, he pays the freight" scale
man has announced his intention OF
supporting Bryan for President OF
theYnited States.
DR.. W. II. Scott, formerly presi-
dent of the Ohio State University,
now professor of ethics there, an
nounced that he would support W.
J. Bryan. He has always been a
Republican, and imperialism is
the change.
Hon. William l.. Wilson has
come out squarely for Bryan in this
campaign. His announcement is
made in letter which was read at
the Morgan's Grove Fair re-
Gently, when Bryan spoke there.
Illness prevented his being there in
person. Wilson was postmaster
general in Cleveland's second term
in the Presidency, and was a
strong gold Democrat in 1896.

The Morgantown Dominion says
that Mr.. Murray travelling for a
Cumberland sash and door com
pany has been in town. He states
that he is for Bryan this year as are
ninety per cent of the travelling men.
He finds very few who are for his
opponent. The change among
them has been almost unanimous as
nearly every travelling man voted
for Mckinley last campaign. The
State of Maryland is counted as
surely Democratic. The flop of
Wellington has changed hundreds
of votes in the western part of the
State Mr.. Murray lives in Cum
berland and he says that the changes
down there are wonderful. The
outlook in this State is also favora-
bic for Democratic victory.

Washington, Sept. S.-Straws
show which way the wind blows.
One of the guides at the Capitol said
to-day:
al should say the indications, as
shown by visitors to this building,
are that Bryan will be elected.
"Some years ago when visitors
came TO the Capitol they used to
ask me to point out the seats OF
such men as Reed, Carlisle, Allison
and others, and then they would 20
over and sit in them. Now they are
asking for the chairs of Pettigrew
and Wellington and sitting in them.
Yesterday ! took nine of a party
of thirty-six visitors from New York
AL men-through the Capitol.
They told me they all intended to
vote for Bryan this year, although
they had voted against him in 1906.
One Of them said that every man in
the party Of thirty-six had voted
against Bryan before, but would
vote for him now. They were mem.
bers Of German organizations.
