IN NEW YORK TODAY
OFFICERS OF DEMOCRATIC CON-
GREssIoNAL COMMITTEE.
To Confer Regarding Location Of the
Literary Bureau-What is Said Of
the Wisconsin Situation.

Chairman Cowherd and Secretary Ed
wards of the democratic congressional COM
mittee were in New York today. Mr.. Cow
herd went to New York direct from his
home in Missouri and Mr.. Edwards jour
neyed to Gotham last evening. They will
both be interested in arranging with the
national committee for the establishment
here of the headquarters of the literary
bureau of the democracy during the COM
ing campaign.
Mr. Edwards has been conducting an
Industrious literary bureau, which includes
the sending out of 1900 letters to demo-
cratic newspapers every week. These let
tiers have been made up with such palata-
BILE democratic ginger that they have been
widely published and relished in the west
and north, as we'll as in the south, where
they have been especially successful. 1t.
is the desire of Mr.. Edwards to keep these
letters going and to have them include
as much news as possible, in order to
commend them to the editors who want
democratic doctrine well mixed with news
1t has been the custom Of the democracy
to have it's literary bureau run under the
direction of the national committee, and
should that be the case this year the bu-
reau will be located in New York or
Chicago.
The Candidates Interrogated.
At the same time the national commit
tee is busy in effecting its organization III
New York there is another movement there
which is insisting upon being heard py the
committee 1t is the Womans Rescue
League. of which Mrs. Charlotte S. Smith
is the president and most of the rest OF
the organization. Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
representing the league, has written let
ter to Judge Parker asking what ne pro-
poses to do. for women as wage earners III
the event of his election. She wants an
answer to this letter and proposes 10 oe
vote a considerable portion ii not all OF
her time to the work OF procuring an
answer. She has addressed siinAIar letter
to President Roosevelt
Western democrats. who drl1t lhto 'he
be.douar,ers of the congressional commit
te. mere are expressing Satisfaction over the
course that the campaign Is taxing III "is-
consin. They declare tnat the repuphcahs
are paying little or no attehtioh " tne
democrats and that they are using Gil thelr
energy in factional pickering. They exhibit
copies OF the republican campaign buileuh
issued by the Wisconsin repuDhcan state
central committee to prove their assertion
that their political enemies are paying no
attention to democrats, but are giving all
their thoughts to factional matters. The
reading matter of the bulletin Is made up
almost entirely of extracts from newspapers
and original articles bearing on La Toilette.
1t has long been asserted by the opponents
OF La Toilette that he has used 100000 of
the state funds to pay such officers as game
wardens and other officials whose official
duties appear to be farcical. but whose real
business in life has been to perpetuate the
control of the state by La Toilette
Wisconsin Game Wardens.
This is what the bulletin of the state CEN
trail committee has to say about the game
wardens' duties:
The books in the office of the secretary
of state furnish some very interesting in
formation to the cost of the 'protec-
ton of fish and game In Wisconsin, ac-
cording to the Milwaukee Daily News,
which has been looking over the records.
1t discovers that for the months of April
and May of this year 1t cost $1.775.65 to
protect the prairie chickens, wild ducks,
geese. deer and other game which are
wandering around Milwaukee county and
vicinity, from destruction. At least this
is what the state books show. No less than
eight Milwaukee county deputy game war
dens were employed during the months of
April and May to protect the game in this
vicinity.
Just when the game wardens of Milwau-
kee county found time to do this work for
the state and run up the expense accounts
they did 1t is hard to tell, as these were
the caucus and convention months and
most every voter in Milwaukee county is
aware that the local game wardens put in
much of their time during these months
hustlng for the good of reform and good
government Still they must have per-
formed the state service for their vouchers
for daily compensation. and expenses have
been sworn to, audited and cashed by the
'refOrmers' in the capitol, and the pay
ments have been made on sworn vouchers
that the work paid for and the expenses
incurred was for the protection Of game.
Il,rt .,,t ybnr nAAl
months of April and May that 1t cost over
,775 to protect is the conundrum."
