FOR BRYAN

Washington, July 24.-In the
presidential campaign four years
ago Chairman George II. Cortelyou
OF the national Republican commit
tee, had John Brinkmann. secretary
OF the Carriage and Wagon Work
ers' Association OF the United states
and Canada. pretty steadily at work
in New Jersey and New York in the
interest OF Roosevelt and Fair
banks. and IL is n we'll known fact
that Brinkmann rallied TO the sup
port OF that ticket thousands OF la
boring men in what had once been
Democratic strongholds. the result
being that Roosevelt and Fairbanks
received tremendous majorities In
the two states.
This year John Brinkmann is on
posing with all his might and main
Taft and sherman. 1t was he who
made the lively speech here the
other night at the meeting of the
Central Labor Union in favor OF the
resolutions indorsing Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Brinkmann is considered one of
the finest speakers among the labor
organization people and he is
championing with all his soul the
Democratic candidates in this con
test. He was an ardent supporter
four years ago of Mr.. Roosevelt. be-
cause he believed in the policies
thea advocated by him. and also
liked his personality. but he frankly
admits that it is an entirely differ
ent question when he is called upon
to support Mr.. Taft. who is looked
upon by laboring men as n foe. and
who is running on a platform that
is thoroughly Objectionable to the
laboring classes.
The talk here is that Brinkmann
will be heard from in this campaign,
and he is said 10 have put his war
paint on and to have made up his
mind to do his utmost to defeat
Taft and Sherman and elect Bryan
and Kern.

ATTACK EXPRESS COMPANY

Duluth, Mimi. July 24-An at
tack on the money order business
transacted by the express companies
Of the country was made in paper
read before the convention OF the
Minnesota Bankers Association. In
session here today. The matter will
be brought before the American
Bankers Association at its annu
convention this fall.
IL is alleged that as the express
companies arc common carriers and
nothing else. they have no right TO
10 a banking business unless they
submit to the same regulations
which govern the banks themselves
in their transactions. The bankers
demand that these companies sub
NIT to examination by federal and
state banking departments. They
say that the express money orders
which the companies issue and ex-
pect the banks to cash, oftentimes
when the local companies have not
sufficient funds with which to meet
these orders, have always caused
the bankers great annoyance and
Inconvenience. The effort Of the
Bankers association is directed to-
ward forcing the express companies
to give up this feature OF their bus
mess, or, If they carry II on, to
make them submit to the regular ex-
aminations.
This afternoon the bankers will
enjoy a trip on Lake Superior. on
Sunday, following the adjournment
Of the convention, the fnanciers
will leave on the steamer America
for an excursion to Isle Royals.
