BRYAN IS PLEASED
 WITH MIR. CHANLER
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR GOV NOR OF NEW YORK RECEIVES CONGRATULATORY TELEGRAM FROM THE NATIONAL LEADER.

Utica, N. r., September 16.-Soon aft CT receiving wosJ a.t N.nsterdanA N. Y,. of the nomination by the democratic state convention of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler for governor, William J. Bry- an, on his way to Rochester, sent him telegram of reorganization. Of MT. Chanler MT. Bryan had this to say
 MT. Chanler's nomination is very satisfactory. During his official career he has grown in popularity and the compliment paid him by the state con vention was deserved. He represents type of citizenship of which I hope to see an increasing number of representa- : tives He is a man of means, wh ose sympathie are with the masses, and he finds pleasure in rendering publl {, service. I believe in the future we are going to have more of these men, who having enough of this worlds goods to relieve them of possibility of want, will unselfishly devote their time to the consideration of public questions and to the rendering of intelligent service to their felloWmen. I have no doubt that MT. Chanler will poll more than the party vote and give strength to the national ticket"

CANNON TALKS
 ABOUT TARIFF
THE SPEAKER OF LOWER HOUSE HELPS TO OPEN REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN IN kANSAS-HE DE- TENDS HOUSE RULES.

Independence, Kas., September 16.- Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. of the na- tlonal house of representatives, made two speeches here today at the opening of the republican state campaign in Kansas. At the afternoon meeting at the Audi torium, MT. Cannon said that he had been accused of being a 'standpatter' Two years ago he and Congressman Campbell of Kansas had conference with President Roosevelt and the Presi- dent insisted that then was no time to bring on a tariff fight in congress- that 1t should be staved off till things were more favorable. He (Cannon), helped to stave it off and yet he is the only one to get the blame.
 He continued; 'The foreigners don't pay any of our taxes. They don't help us to keep up our schools and public institutions. Then why should we let them come in and share our profits of trade? I say give the people at home who pay the taxes the inside track on our trade. The democratic platform wants to tear down the tariff wall, which means that our labor must suffer. as well as our agricultural and industrial institutions. The republicans propose to adjust the tariff cut it down where it is now too high, but in doing so we will fully protect our own labor. We have had protective tariff ever since the days of Lincoln, except for four years, and you folks know what happened in those four years"
 At the night meeting, Speaker Can non made a defense of the house rules, declaring that the rules of the present house have been substantially rules of the house under the control of all parties for more than a generation.

Opposition Analysed.

These men we now find most virulently opposing the recommendations recently emanating from the authorized heads of the labor movement through President Gompers A careful analysis of this class, as represented in the daily press largely unfriendly, ignores entirely the fact that the course pursued which eliminated in the action of the Denver convention had the approval of accredited representa- tives of all international trade unions in the conference held March last in Wash fngton D. c. Men who are partisans, and more loyal to political parties than they are to their unions, will naturally oppose the plan proposed by President Gompers and his colleagues, who have been exer- cising their best judgment and discretion to secure the remedies we have been pleading for at the hands of certain mis- representatives of the government for years past.
 I've have been taught to support our accredited representatives when a thor oughly discussed and approved policy has been decided on in our trade unions For some time past it has been that liked poll icy which has pushed our movement for word to it's present high standard of efficiency and protection Because of the adverse criticism and the alarm plainly indicated by political leaders, of ficeholders anu capitalists and a venal press, shall we cease our legitimate eff forts to secure the laws we have been advocating for years as well as a cor rection of certain judicial abuses?

COLONEL WAITS REPORT
General Organizer Says That Majority Of Union Federatonists Will Su- port the Party That Has
 Promised Labor

Washington, September 16-(Special. J. While the republican press of the east is making frantic endeavors to fill it's columns with criticisms of President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor because of his belief that the American workingmen expect more from the democratic party than that of the republicans. there are few unfavora ble re- ports coming to the headquarters of the great labor organization in this city In fact it may be said that every labor leader of any consequence in the country believes MT. Gompers is taking the only course he could in view of the non-action of the present Congress on labor legisla- tion, and while all of the independent leaders are not as active as the presi- dent of the federation, it is undoubtedly true that he is receiving a practically unanimous support from the thousands of men who selected him as their leader.
 All reports from Mir. Gompers' leuten- ants indicate this. For instance Colonel Wyatt, the general organizer of the fed eration, has been in a number of states during the past two weeks. In a report on the situation received from him at headquarters today, he says From my observations and inquiries since the &C., ton of the democratic convention at Den yer, l am strongly inclined to the opinion that large majority of loyal trade union ists will support MT. Bryan in the coming election. There is developing an increas- ing disposition on the part of the working men to disregard all party ties and sup port more Loyalty their political friends. This movement is due largely to the edu- cational work that has been done through the instrumentality of the American Fed eration of Labor and it's leaders. Each new move has been most bitterly criti- cised and often purposely misrepresented by men dominated almost entirely by selfish motives, but protesting loyalty to the cause.

Petitions Refused.

Every influence It our command as trade unionists was used to induce the republican leaders in the last congress to amend the sherman antitrust law, pass the anti-injuncton bill and extend the provisions of the eight hour law, anu properly protect the lives and limbs C railroad and government employees. Had these small concessions been made, the fight that is now on would have been avoided. We were sneeringly refused ana told that the controlling party would assume re sponsioility for such action. That party has discovered now most serious blunder was then made, little dreaming the demands then refused would be carried to the Chicago convention. Under threat by certain interests of with, holding large political contributions, la- bor's demands were ignored, and notice was served that nothing could be expect ed from the republican party in the fu- ture The door of hope was closed in our face and we were told to go and do our worst.

Tribesmen Lose 1000 Men.

Paris, September 16.-Dispatches to the government from the governor general of the French Congo state that force of 16OO French troops under Captain Julhed,. have routed the Ouadai tribe, whose territory is the center of the trade in slaves and contrapand arms. The tribesmens losses number a thousand.
  a great many representative men of the American race and in my judgment these men have never been more clear as to the significance of the issues involved in national campaigns than they are at this time. The attempt to carry them away on distinct race issue will, in my judgment, fail absolutely. They re- fuse to have their votes determined by any such consideration, but on the con- trary, in all their discussions they are moved by considerations of very much broader import

ERIf, PENNSYLVANIA
has A GREAT SCHEME
Will Put o. & P. Team in q
Suburb.
Very Clever Move will be Made in
Order to Settle the
Difficulty.

The latest swell scheme comes
out of Erie, Pa, where magnates
and fanatics are disgusted with
the Interstate league. II Erie fails
to get the National association to
declare the Interstate dead, the
magnates, Frank Baumeister and
Dan Roster, may place a team in
Girard, Pa.
Now, Girard happens to be only
ten miles from Erie. 1t is far
enough away to permit team be-
ing there without Infringing on the
territorial rights OF the Interstate
and is near enough for fans to get
to the ball lot easily.
Sunday games could be played
at Girard and the patronage from
them alone would go long way
toward supporting a fast ball club.
The scheme was evolved by the
sporting editor of the Erie Times.
A Mr.. Rindernecht is endeavoring
! to keep Erie in the Interstate
league, it is alleged. tor the purpose
Of getting either $4,000 out OF the
magnates OF that city or acquiring
the franchise himself and then
placing a team In the D. and 4.
The Interstate has threatened TO
put team in Erie. Baumeister
and Roster, however. own the bal
park, and those who favor the
Girard plan believe it would be
only a short time until the opposi
ton to the present magnates gave
up in disgust.
It's an ingenious plan, anyway

bers. AS musical organization,
Parker's orchestra has few equals in
Ohio and the reception accorded it on
this occasion was even more enthus-
iastic than on previous visits. The
singing Of C.. w. Parker was one
of the features.
During an intermission in the dane
