MUCH WORK FOR THE
 COMING LEGISLATURE
Many Important Measures to be Brought Before the
 Assembly of Law Makers

which no speeches have been made. The crowds have increased steadily in number from the beginning of the campaign, and in many parts of the country strong en- thusiasm has been manifested. Upon the whole, there was apparently more interest In the cities than in rural districts.
 In New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana and Illi- nois there were especially big crowds, and at most points in those states the interest was intense. This may also be said of the cities in the state of New York.
 MT. Bryan's Promises.
 While always nominally giving the phase of paramount importance in the campaign to the subject of imperialism, MT. Bryan has devoted more time to trusts than to any other subject. He has promised that if elected all the power of the executive should be employed for the destruction of trusts; that the army should be reduced to 250OO soldiers, and that the Filipinos should be given their independence under Ameri- can protection. While adhering to his for mer position on the financial question, MT. Bryan has not voluntarily forced that sub ject to the front in his speeches.
 During the campaign various modes of locomotion have been employed. Several carriage rides were taken across stretches of country ranging from five to forty miles and one night was spent on a boat In Chesapeake bay Automobiles were also used on one occasion. There have been no accidents to either MT. Bryan or members of his party. MT. Bryan's health has inn proved from the beginning of his tour and he has never been under the necessity of resorting to a physician for advice or as- sistance
 For the most part the weather has been excellent, and no engagement to speak has been broken. Mrs Bryan joined her hus- band in New York week ago and has travelled with him since.

Conterno, brother of the leader of the band, and oth- CT members of the company, duets and choruses. Miss Conterno has a rich con- tralto voice which pleased and charmed her hearers, while the other vocalists received liberal applause at each appearance on the stage.
 The Midway shows gave no perform ances during the day, but many of the visitors went through the streeets looking at the tents and such paraphernala as was to be seen.
 The exhibits in the mineral, machinery and woman's departments were visited by nearly every one who went to the Fair Grounds during the day. The machinery was not in operation, but all of the differ ent buildings except the negro building, were open to the public.
