Washington, D. c. Nov. 24--(Special) The breakdown os the financial and economic policies of the Republican Party ard the attempt to stay the pam $1t0,06 DOC certificates of indebted ness is the all absorbing political news.
 In ordering this vast issue of bonds and certificates after consultation with several important financial interests who expect to make millions on Ntne deaI President Roosevelt has more than ever shown his bias towards the money power" have undoubted aul thority from an authentic source for saving that telegram rom New York signed "B" was received very early in the morning of November Is by a high official of the Riggs National Bank "a Rockefeller fnstitution--stating in substance that the sender had seen MT. Corey and MT. Stillman and they had Information from Cortelyou that the President had not yet seen the light and advised seeing Cortelyou at once as, unless the President acted quickly for the relief of the money market, the panic would be beyond control.
 What did MT. Corey of the steel trust. and Mir. Stillman. of the Rocke- Teller bank say to MT. %B' an Novem- Der Is that caused him to telegraph to his friend in Washington? And what did -B'. friend in Washington. say to CorteIyou on Saturday, November 16; The answer to these questions would throw flood of light on the hasty act ion of Roosevelt and Cortelvou during Saturday and, Sunday, November 16 and IT Let there be light. It looks as if Corey andrSkjllman. representing J. F. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, were responsible for the extraordinary action of the President and Secretary Cortel- you in issuing bonds and certificates of Indebtedness.
 Nasty Decision.
 The issue 44os bonds and certificates was decided upcn very hastily. for although the bond issue had been 1ro- pdsed for some days. the issue of cer- tificates wes evidently not ordered nm tiI the Rockefeller bank official had presented to the Secretary of the Treas ury his pressing demand for immediate action bv the President.
 Democratic politics has boomed up large this week. The invitation for an informal meeting of the National Com- mittee in Indiana for consultations the conference of Eastern and Western Democrats, in Michigan and the an- now in the field es g candidate for President. are the most important events. Regarding MT Bryans candi- dacy the only thing for Democrats to consider is his availability; and that depends upon whether he can carry enough of the doubtful States to be elected.
 A majority Of Democrats in every State in the Union may wish to see Mn. Bryan elected President and yet he may be far from the goal unless he can command the whole party vote. A small defection in New York, New Jersey, and other doubtful States would defeat Mir. Bryan or any other candi- adte although he would have a large majority in the certain Democratic States. The managers of Mir. Bryan's candidacy seem to shut their eyes to the fact that It requires majority of the electoral vote O. all the States to elect q President. They have ap- parently a vague hope of political revolution in the Western States which would trun enough States from their Republican moorings to give a major ity in the electoral college. Is there any basis for such hope? Outside of Oklahoma, which is strongly Demo- cratic. the only Western State that appears 10 be veeriRg towards Democ- racy is Minnesota, and that would seem to be entirely due to the personal strength of MT. Johnson, the Democrat fc Governor. for all the Republican state officers were elected and the Ieeislature was largely Republican. Tn 1900 Mir Bryan lost the State by over 77.0OO.
 Can Mir. Bryan carry his own State? It is to be feared he cannot. for he lost it by 7S22 in 1900 and it has been steadily retrograding since that event. full campaign. Montana is naturally Democratic and sh ould be carried for the Democratic ticket. whoever is the candidate. Nevada Is an uncertain uuantity in consequence of the influx
