The number OF prominent Democrats

Taft and Sherman is matter OF grave
concern to Mr.. Bryan's managers In

hundreds of members, and in Baltimore

has become the subject Of a daily Sc
rial In the newspapers These Illus

exceptional In this campaign, but be
cause of their geographical location.
In Chicago a sensation was caused
by William Prentiss, who announced
that he will support Taft Instead Of
Bryan for President and Deneen In
stead OF Stevenson for Governor. Mr..
Prentiss has been a Democratic lead

was Civil Service Commissioner under
Mayor Dunno and has several times
been Democratic candidate for Judge.
In 1903 he was chairman Of the Demo
cratic State convention. He was for
meriy an ardent Bryan partisan.
In letter made public recently MI.
Prentiss charges Bryan with betraying
his followers and forsaking the prin-
ciples for which he stood prior to the
present campaign.
Mr.. Prentiss says:
