London Sept 26.-There are long dispatches
in the daily London press on the poiitical war
fare now in progress in America, but there are
few expressions of opinion from the leader

If Mr.. Bryan is defeated for the third time.
The inventors of canards about ASSASSINATION
and the political fntrigues of speculators may as
well save their ammunition. These stories do
not affect the London stock market because in
vestors here are not handling American securi-

gamble. their money goes into kairs instead Of
Americans They do not attempt to follow the
crvptfc dispatches announcing that Hartman
or Rockefeller or Morgan is favoring one candi-
date or another, or that groups having large
market interests are making desperate plunses
into politics The essential fact is that money
is cheaper in London than in any other financial
centre and that fresh capital can easily be
spared for American railways and other enter
prises but IT cannot be had until there is a
guarantee in the election OF Mr.. Taft that no

was deemed advisable Budelier
started out on foot for Palisade, 35
miles distant. He took the train
from Palisade and arrived home this
morning bringing the good news that
the party was o. X.
