Worries Political Managers.

The political managers of both
parties of Congress are very much
disturbed over the bill which passed
the Senate last Saturday prohibiting
corporations from contributing to po-
liticaI funds. The Senate passed the
bill without word of debate and it
is now before the House for further
attention. 1t is realized that there
is strong sentiment in favor of the
bill, but its passage will seriously af-
feet the political campaign commit
tees in securing the sinews of war for
the coming congressional campaign.

The Oregon election in some re-
spects is curious study. A Demo-
cratic governor was elected, while
the legislature is unanimously Re-
publican in the house and within six
of clean Republican sweep in the
senate, or easily enough in both
branches to pass bill over the gov
ernor's veto. 1t seems that Oregon
was willing to elect just one Demo-
crat on these conditions.

Of Arizona and New Mexico should be
admitted to statehood as separate

made their plea that they should be
admitted as separate and distinct
states and have never yet consented
to be Joined together and admitted
as one state.
The policy OF the east has been

THE COMING ELECTION

The founders of the republic, in
their wisdom, decreed that the polit-
ical power which inheres in the people
shall only be separated from them
temporarily, for brief periods, after
which it again returns to them in it's
fullness. On the morning of the day
of election the people stand clothed
in sovereignty in the full possession
of power to command whatsoever they
want in the domain of government
But on the evening of that day this
power has passed from them, not to
return again until the expiration of
the terms of the various officers they
have chosen, who have been invested

ereignty of which the people temper

cheaper money and dearer men, and
that the principle contended for has
been vindicated by the cheapening of
the metal gold through an abnormal
supply from the mines as effectually
as it would have been by lessening the
demand for it by having silver share
with it the money work.
The fact stands that Bryan has
been indicated by events on the
money question through the accidents
of increased scientific knowledge in
the chemical processes of extracting
gold from the rocks and the further
accident of the discovery of unlocked
for and unprecedented large bodies of
gold ores. He has been vindicated on
the trust question by the popularity
of President Roosevelt, who in de-
fiance of his own party platform, and
of the leaders of his party has gained
the favor that he enjoys with the
American people solely by following
the path blazed by Bryan. Roosevelt
is great because he has adopted in

is the great leader and chief exponent.

A DECADE OF PROGRESS

Prior to the Chicago convention in
1896, William ]. Bryan was but COM
paratively little known, and his in
fiuence was unfelt beyond the con-
fines of his own state. During the
memorable campaign of ten years ago
and for some time thereafter, Theo-
dore Roosevelt was negligible guam

change has been wrougt in SO short
a time! Today the two great political
parties of the nation are, figuratively
speaking, at the feet of these two men.

their respective parties have the con-
fdence of the American people in a
degree SO pre-eminent as to preclude a
rival or to even render distinguish
able a claimant for second place in
the affections of their respective fol
lowers.
The facts as herein stated stand in
condemnation of the critics of Bryan.
A fact is stubborn thing. Theories
at variance with facts are idle. There
is an adequate reason for the hold
that Mr.. Bryan admittedly has upon
the hearts of the American people.
What is the explanation? What is
it that invests a twice defeated can

over the affections Of his countrymen?
