says his availability is to be decided
not by him, not by a few leaders and
not by the leading newspapers, but by
the voters of the party. He says,
further, that he has not been waiting
to see who the Republican nominee
would be nor to ascertain the chances
of victory. No matter who the Repub-
licans nominate, whether a stand pat
ter or one favorable to reform, the
Democrats must make an aggressive
fight. He believes the prospects of
victory for his party are excellent, but
the action of the party Cannot be
made dependent on the prospect of
success" If the party believes that
Bryan's nomination will help it he will
accept, whether. the prospects point to
defeat or victory, for a defeat a

His final word is that the campaign
will be an appeal to the public COIL
science in view of the recent fnvesti-
cations which have shown the corrupt
use of campaign funds contributed by
corporations which thus sought ito
convert the government into a business
asset" He says his party can make
no promises to such corporations, for 1t
would have to betray the voters, 'as
the Republican party has done" No
n should favor his nomination I'M
less the party is willing to open its
books and show where it's contribu-
lions come from and for what the mon
ey is expended. An appeal to con-
science is politically expedient as well
as morally right, as the national con-
science has already been aroused and
the voters educated to the necessity of
q reform that will make this govern
ment again q government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people.

Washington. July 2.--No girls from the
census bureau Will be sent to Oklahoma
and Indian Territory TO make tabulations
of the census to be taken by order of the
president. When the president issued the
order for census OF the proposed new
state there was n great scramble among

the jobs at field headquarters. They look
ed upon the work in the territories as
Offering a fine opportunity to take a jaunt
at government expense Now the census
bureau shelters many charming young
women, most of whom may with propriety
be called girls. Like the men, the girls
began to use political influence to secure
assignments for duty in Oklahoma and
Indian territory. A western senator
orally asked n bureau official to detail a
girl from his state, now employed i'm the
bureau, TO the Guthrie office.

WAS the answer. but the fact is we will
send mo women clerks to Oklahoma That
is a new country and too wild and wooly
for Washington girls"
