MONEY IS POURING IN TO DEFEAT BRYAN
WHILE LABOR IS FIGHTING FOR ITS VERY LIFE

Chicago. Oct 29-Walter Wellman
in the course of his telegraphic letter
from New York in today's Record
Herald says:
"The most noteworthy feature Of
the closing days of the campaign, is
the fright over the possibility of
Bryan's success, which has suddenly
seized upon the country. and the ef-
feet it is having upon the battle.
''Its first effect has been to provide
the republican campaign managers
with more money than they ever
dreamed of getting hold of. Its Sec
ond effect is to carry q considerable
part of the business influence of the
lcountry against Bryan. Broadly
speaking. the struggle has now be.
come one between the republican party
with wealth and business as its coad
jutor, and the democratic party with
organized labor. or a part of it, and
the unemployed. as it's chief auxiliary
with plenty of money in their cof
fers, and the business world throw
/ ing off its indifference and becoming
active and aggressive, the leaders o.
the Taft campaign no longer fear the
outcome, despite the probable loss O

as, hitherto, they had difficulty in
raising few thousand dollars for
their necessary expenses, now they

enough for every legitimate purpose,

Camp Memo, Tenn. Oct. 29.-With-
in one week from the time the sol
diers of Tennessee, under personal di-
rection of Governor NJ r. Patterson,
spread their tents in the heart of the
night rider district, evidence of the

that investigation of the Taft and

of Taft for president and Chanler for
