TO FIGHT UNTIL
ELECTION DAY
Bryan Will Remain on Stump
Balance Of Campaign.
COUNCIL OF WAR IS HELD

Democratic National Committeeman,
Following Announcement That Taft
viii Make Speaking Tour Over
Large Part Of Country, Decide That
Their Candidate Shall Not Remain
Idle in October, as Planned.
Chicago, Sept 9.--Previous to the
invasion of the East by William Jen-
nings Bryan members of the Demo
cratic national committee held coun-
ell of war and for several hours stud
led over the plans that have been de-
vised to bring the Democratic cause
to victory. While the national com
mitteemen were in session there were
conferences of the advisory and
finance committees and later all three
committees joined in a general con-
ference in which Mr.. Bryan took a
leading part in the deliberations.
While no definite announcement has
been made it is generally believed by
national committeeman that the effort
to have Mr.. Bryan take the stump
during the entire month of October
will prove successful. With the an
nouncement that Mr.. Taft will make a
speaking trip through the Middle West
and the East the Democratic leaders
believe that the fight should be forced
all along the line until election day
and that to that end Mr.. Bryan should
continue his speaking trips until the
campaign ends. National committee
men from the Far West are trying t.
prevail upon Chairman Mack to send
the candidate to the Pacific coast
states, but whether Mr.. Bryan will
make the long westward swing will
depend in great measure on plans
made for Mr. Taft's stumping tour
Chairman Mack and other members OF
the committee are not a little con
| cerned over the question whether Mr.
| Bryan's strength would enable him tC
| duplicate the arddous campaign o.
1896, though Mr.. Bryan has said tha
he is willing to do whatever the com
mittee feels is required to make al
effective fight.
The Bryan and Kern Business Mems
association, with Nathan Straus o.
New York as president and E. l.. Col
ira of st. Louis as vice president, was
| formally launched upon the poiitica
sea at a meeting of the Democratic
national committee here. The worl
of organizing these clubs, which are
expected to appeal strongly to th'
business interests of the country, will
be begun with vigor Immediately.

REAR PLATFORM TALKS.
Taft Makes Number of Speeches in
Ohio.

Sandusky, o., Sept. 9.-William H.
Taft, as the ready campaigner, was
given his second 'tryout." He spoke
from here to Cincinnati. Most of his
speeches were from the rear platform
of his train and presented all shades
of conditions in oratorical ''roughing
st." His first political speech was at
a rally in the theater here, although
he got his voice warmed up by an ad-
dress to the old soldier residents Of
the Erie county Soldiers home.
Besides the speeches he delivered
here he spoke al Titiin, Carey, Whar-
ton, Forest, Bellefontaine, Urbana,
Springfield. Dayton and other places.
In his speech at Sandusky Mr. Taft
not only ridiculed Mr.. Bfyans claim
to be the heir or the father of the
Roosevelt policies, but delivered him
self of an emphatic pledge, after an
alyzing the more important of these
policies, that IL elected | propose TO
devote all the ability that is in me to
the constructive work of suggesting
to congress the means by which tha
Roosevelt policies shall be clinched.

SHOT FOR PRESIDENT
FIRED FROM AMBUSH
Story in Circulation Basis Of
Searching Investigation.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Sept. "a search
ing investigation is being made to de-
termine the circumstances giving rise
to the report that a shot was fired
from ambush upon President Roose-
welt last Saturday. Every foot of
ground in the vicinity where the at
tempt is alleged to have been made is
being gone over and the closest quest
is being prosecuted to ascertain
whether or not any person to whom
suspicion might attach was seen in
the vicinity of Oyster Bay about the
time the shot is said to have been
fired.
According to the story in circulation
here a shot was fired from a clump of
bushes near the roadside while the
president and a friend were returning
from horseback ride. The report of
the shot came from close at hand, 1t
is said, and after the first shock of
surprise, which caused the president
to urge his horse forward, Mr. Roose-
welt turned abruptly about and pre-
pared to dismount and rush on foot
into the thicket. He was dissuaded
by his friend, however, and together
they galloped away to Sycamore Hill.
No inform; tion at all regarding the
incident came from the presidents
home or the executive Offices here,
but it appears from the story, as later
told, that Camille Weidenfeld, New
York banker, was driving with Mrs.
Weidenfeld in the vicinity and was a
witness to the occurrence. The Wei
denfelds were in a public carriage and
their driver also is said to have heard
| the report of the shot and to have
witnessed the excited actions of the
president end his companion which
Immediately followed. No one yet has
! been found however, who saw the
man who is said to have fired the shot
The general opinion seems to be that
| IL a shot was fired it was by some
| hunter who was totally unaware Of the
presence of the president in the vicin
ity

success and creditable standing Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitatine
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally anc
truly as a laxative, and its component
