Deceives the Farmers.

MT. Dawson secured his nomination by inducing the farmers to believe that if successful the republican party would put the taxes upon the production of coal, gas and oil and on the gross earnings or railroads. He made his campaign upon that issue, but when the legislature con vened in extraordinary session they left the coal, gas, oil and railroads just as they were. The farmers are very much disgusted and dissatisfied and there IS practically a revolution against the re- publican state ticket on these issues. It now looks as if Dawson would be de- feated by a large majority by the dem- ocratic nominee, MT. Cornwell.'
 MT. Davenport says MT. Davis. vice. presidential candidate of his party, has strong personal following in the state that cannot fail to elect the democratic ticket there. He says large number of reg ular republicans will vote for MT. DaVis on purely personal grounds.

BOODLER TELLS
 STORY OF CRIMES St. Louis Alderman squeaIs on
 the Gang PLAN WAS BUSINESS LIKE All Sorts of Traps Were Laid for Cir cult Attorney Folk to Make Him
 Desst From the Prose-
 cutions.

St. Louis October 3.-In a written con fession today Charles F. Kelly, speaker of the house of delegates during period in the life of the poodle combine, relates his story of that combine. He de- clared that Edward Butler, a prominent local physician, promised himself and oth- CTS that the next circuit attorney would be all right" and promised if they would remain firm he would secure for them either continuances until the new circuit attorney took office or pardons afterward
 Kelly declares he refused this offer and that he makes. this confession to satisfy the bangs of an accusing conscience, to obey the requests of his wife, and to do what he can to make atonement to the public and prevent other young man from following the path which he declares has led him to ruin.
 In the course of his confession, Kelly details a story of a city lighting deal and of a poodle fund of $47, ,o0d divided be- tween the nineteen members of the com bine at Hulius Lehmanns birthday party.
 He declares that Edward Butler gave him the poodle fund and that he took 1t to Lehmanns house, and that he there divided 1t.
 In the course of his confession Former Speaker Kelly said:
 Going on for Twenty-Five Years.
 T know from my own knowledge and from the statements made to me by those in the inside that bribery has been going on in the municipality asse mbly in St Louis for the past 25 years. Hardly a bill passed that body in the last quar- ter of century unless 1t was paid for We did not fear exposure and punish ment, for the reason we believed no one would dare to do 1t. In case of attack, W, knew most of the politicians and many of the large financiers of St. Louis would be with us. A former prosecutor show ed some signs of starting after us, bu he was bluffed off.
 When the present prosecutor (Circui Attorney Folk is meant here) commenced his war on us, we tried to intimidate hin by threats of assassination, and wher this had no effect, we laid all sorts oi traps for him without success. Ther some decided the best plan would be tC start newspaper and libel him so fierce ly as to draw his fire by taking up his time in libel prosecutions or If he did not, his influence would be weakened and destroyed. Although we could find noth- Ing a1ter thorough search to make at- tack on, lbels were deliberately made up for the purpose of affecting public senti- ment. This plan was participated In not only by members of the house of dele- gates under indictment for booding, but by prominent financiers of St. Louis who feared exposure and by those who gave us the money"
 Of the combine, Kelly had this to say;
 Were Always Paid for Votes.
 We never thought of passing a bill out of which any money could be oD- tained, unless we were paid for our votes. We set about 1t in busfness-like way and had combination meetings at stated

 Coming to national questions Mir Bryan said:

I have not changed my position. l be- lieve these things when I stood before you as a candidate, and I believe in them today:

It was added that this was not an indication of recovery, but that the patent might live until morning. This fluid Is the stimulant which was given to him. and to which he at first failed to respond. It was after this failure to respond that 1t was an- nounced that further administration of stimulants would not avail.
