Colonel James NJ Guffey, who had not

dollars to Bryan's campaign funds, but
also furnished free OF cost the stained

Here Is what a New York Sun cor.

Kerr:
ITO the accompaniment OF the blare
OF trumpets and the waving Of many
flags, Colonel James M. Guffey. of
Pennsylvania was convicted at Den
yer of the objectionable sin of being
q corporation man, and the spotless
James Kerr was installed in his place
as Democratic national committeeman
from the Keystone state. Never mind
the fact that Colonel Guffey was the
selection by large majority of the
properly constituted delegation OF
Democrats of his state. The state is
hopelsssly for Taft anyway, and there
fore personal animosities must be
gratified while the ancient bluff OF
'peepuf Is carried out.

smiled expansively and the faithful
cohorts chortled for Joy when the
