HOW STONE PROVES IT.
New York, November 1.-Gov. Stone of
Missouri, who is In charge OF the New
York branch of the Democratic National
headquarters, gave out the following
statement TO-DAY:
"Goy. Roosevelt and other Republican
leaders and Republican papers are oriti-
cizing MIR. Bryan for denouncing this
scheme Of the administration TO fasten a
large standing army on the public. and
especially for saying that 1t was intend
ed to quarter the army near large cities
and to use 1t to oyer-awe workingmen.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Bryan Is right. Sem
ator Hawley of Connecticut Is Republi-
can United States Senator OF the Brah-
min caste and stands high in the counsels
of his party. He Is chairman Of the Sem
ate committee on military affairs and In
the Senate he had charge of the bill In
creasing the army and made a strong
speech in favor Of it."
